Preaching Programme 2004

big picture of a BibleWe believe that the Bible is God's word, providing instruction, training, correction and help; both for salvation and for everyday living.

As such, we believe in expository preaching of the Bible - allowing the Bible passages to speak to us, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

In days such as these, we need to hear the clear message of God's truth. Our preaching programmes are planned to provide us with a balanced diet of Old and New Testament teaching, always focussed on our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

All sermons are taped and are available from our tape library. For details, contact Vaughan Harper 01582 767956
