In this sermon, we explore what it means to live in the quiet space after trauma — the fragile pause between crisis and restoration. Drawing on the story of Chuck, the prophet Joel, and Jesus’ parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, we discover that the gospel offers a “low-demand” grace: a place of safety, healing, and renewed vision through the Holy Spirit.

In a world full of noise, change, and competing voices, how do we keep our bearings? This Sunday we’ll be exploring Paul’s timeless encouragement to “hold fast to Scripture” — and discovering how God’s Word can be like the star that guides a ship through stormy seas.

We’ll reflect on life, culture, and even a bit of Educating Yorkshire, to see how Scripture teaches, challenges, and trains us to navigate wisely.

When life is booming, it’s easy to think that the next upgrade — a bigger car, a nicer house, a better work-life balance — will finally make us feel satisfied. But as recent years have shown, those things don’t always sustain us in the long run.

In this Harvest talk, Phil explores Jesus’ words about the Bread of Life and what it means to seek something deeper and more lasting than the temporary things we often chase. Drawing on the story of Emma, lockdown lessons, and the tradition of giving back at Harvest, it’s a challenge to turn from the temporary and look to the eternal.

🎥 Watch, reflect, and consider what it might mean for you this Harvest to trust the One who has always been there and cares more deeply than you realise.
