  • "The Heart of Christ" witgh Rachel Drake

    "The Heart of Christ" witgh Rachel Drake
    Sep 28 2025
    This is the talk from our 10:45 service on 28 September 2025. The reading was Philippians 2:1-11, where Paul calls the church to have the same mindset as Christ Jesus, who humbled himself by becoming human and dying on the cross for us. Rachel explores what it means to be like Jesus in our daily lives, particularly focusing on valuing others above ourselves. She challenges us to love sacrificially as Christ loved us, acknowledging that whilst this is countercultural and difficult, it's how the world will know we are Jesus' disciples. Using examples from her children's love of Spider Man to birds learning to fly, she reminds us that learning to love well takes practice, and we can only do it with God's help.

    "Standing Firm Together: Living Worthy of the Gospel" with Ruth McCabe
    Sep 21 2025
    This is the talk from our 10:45 service on 21st September 2025. The reading was Philippians 1:27-30. In this encouraging talk, we're reminded to conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, stand firm in one spirit, and strive together as one for the faith. Using vivid illustrations from military life and cross-stitch, Ruth emphasises how we must work as a team, supporting one another through challenges like the upcoming interregnum. We're assured that despite life's trials and the spiritual battles we face, God ultimately wins. The talk beautifully weaves together themes of unity, courage, and the certainty of salvation through Jesus Christ alone.

  • "Pressing On: Lessons from Philippians for Times of Change" with Colin Towner

    "Pressing On: Lessons from Philippians for Times of Change" with Colin Towner
    Sep 14 2025
    This is the talk from our 10:45 service on 14 September 2025. The reading was Philippians 1:1-11. In this talk, the Colin reflects on St Jude's rich heritage of clergy leadership whilst facing an upcoming interregnum. Drawing from Paul's letter to the Philippians, we explore what makes a church community worthy of thanksgiving — being saints together, partnering in the gospel, and pressing on towards spiritual maturity. He challenges us to consider not just what we remember about our former clergy, but what they might remember about us. Through Paul's prayer for the Philippians, we're encouraged to pursue love, knowledge, discernment, and righteousness — not in our own strength, but through Jesus Christ, all for God's glory and praise.
