Let's meet together: Faith in the Flames 24:43

1d ago24:43

24:43

We all face trials and difficulties from time to time. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in Daniel Chapter 3, resolved to not worship an idol of Nebuchadnezzar. They knew their punishment meant being thrown into a fiery furnace, but they chose to do the right thing. They triumped in God and had a testimony about God's faithfulness. Obedience to God is…

Let's meet together: Who not where 30:54

3d ago30:54

30:54

Large numbers of God's People might often meet in specific church buildings in many places around the world in the 21st century, but for thousands of Christians today and in the past, this isn't or wasn't the case. The Greek word that is often translated 'church' in English Bibles had an original civic meaning: a gathering with a specific purpose o…

God engages fully 36:51

15d ago36:51

36:51

God loves humanity. He engaged fully whilst He was on earth and has done so through the millennia both before and since then. God loves you. You are not disqualified from God's love. How much are you engaging in society today? You have a calling from God to make a positive difference in the lives of others. Is your preference to put God first and s…

Being thankful and more open to God. 43:08

22d ago43:08

43:08

A person from Open Doors UK reminded us of what is happening around the world, with one in seven Christians being persecuted globally. We were also reminded that Paul endured persecution and imprisonment, knowing that God's plans were being fulfilled. He prayed that God's Word would be released to those around him, rather than he himself being phys…

Don't hold back 22:48

29d ago22:48

22:48

In this Talk we hear what Ivette has been doing for the past seven months in Chile and Peru. We are also reminded that we shouldn't hold back from what God is telling us to do - Isaiah 54:2,3. You can read the script for the whole Service here.By Ivette Santander

Praying in the Fog 15:33

1M ago15:33

15:33

We must fairly often pray without knowing or seeing everything that we're concentrating on. We know that God is in control, but how do we keep praying and learning when perhaps we're not focussing on what God would have us do. God will help us! Let's use the Lord's Prayer as an inspiration to prayer. Let's also use God's language, which the Bible i…

Ssshhh! 29:25

1M ago29:25

29:25

When you were younger, did anyone ever say, "Sssshhh!" to you? Does it still happen sometimes? Does God ever say, "Ssshhh!" to you? In this Talk we examine five people who encountered God when they were on their own. They listened as God spoke to them. Their lives were changed. How do you reply to God's valuable invitation to come to Him? Are you r…

Jeremiah: walking the Ancient Paths with God 32:50

2M ago32:50

32:50

We all have lots of of choices and decisions to make regularly in our lives - some are extremely important and others are much less so. Should we be careful only when we are at a major crossroads - no! We need to live well and live with careful choices every day. We are in charge of our own actions and reactions. Wearing the wrong clothes for the w…

Jeremiah: connect with the Potter 33:39

2M ago33:39

33:39

The Kingdom of Judah, like its northern neighbour Israel had previously done, was relying on itself and in alliances with nearby countries. Jeremiah spoke to them using the familiar picture of a potter. God is like a potter. We need to connect with Him regularly and allow Him to reshape us and to mend us and then to allow His treasure that is in us…

Jeremiah: a firm dependence on God 29:10

2M ago29:10

29:10

We absolutely need Jesus' Living Water, in an equal amount to the Samaritan woman in John 4. God is not a bigger version of you. Around 2,600 years ago, God spoke through Jeremiah and charged the People of Judah with ignoring the Fountain of Living Water and building their own leaky cisterns. We still do that today. Let's make our lives revolve aro…

Jeremiah: Thou hast made 31:27

2M ago31:27

31:27

The Babylonians had already been besieging Jerusalem for a year in 587BC. What an awful time that would have been for the population at that time. Exile in a foreign country was only months away. Much doom and gloom would have been felt in the city and surrounding area! Jeremiah was there. In chapter 32, God told him to buy a field. This was a pict…

Jeremiah: Who to believe 28:27

3M ago28:27

28:27

In chapter 28, a prophet called Hananiah brought a word from God for the People of Judah, but Jeremiah brought one that was quite different. How should we discern God speaking to us? When we say something in normal life and another person speaks something differently, how do we act? Remember, Hananiah was certain he was speaking for God. Are we som…

Jeremiah: God the Answerer 32:43

3M ago32:43

32:43

God promised Jeremiah that as Jeremiah called out to Him, so He would answer. God is omnisicient, omnipotent and omnipresent and yet He loves us and wants us to know Him more. In this Talk, we briefly look at how God responded to several people in the Bible and also took the initiative in calling out to various people. We need to spend time with Go…

Jeremiah: Listen and then absorb God's message 38:53

3M ago38:53

38:53

Jeremiah often gave a difficult message for the people of Judah to hear and then to act upon. Chapter 27 contains one of those. What, Nebuchadnezzar is God's servant (verse 6)? Let us too, remember that God often gives us a simple message. He is way beyond us in creativity, power and inspiration. Jesus came to save us from our sins. That message is…

Jeremiah: Abundant Sufficiency 32:11

3M ago32:11

32:11

We begin a new Series on the Old Testament Book of Jeremiah. He spoke around 622BC to 580BC. God called him to speak for Him in a very unstable world. The People of Judah were soon to go into exile due to their turning their backs on God. Like Jeremiah, God wants all of us to work with and for Him. Irrespective of our age, health or social standing…

Our spiritual responsibilities 24:17

4M ago24:17

24:17

In the UK, we are very fortunate in being able to easily and openly meet with other followers of Jesus. In the 10-40 Window (approximately 10 to 40 degrees north latitude), many Christians aren't permitted to do that. Many people don't even have a Bible in their primary language. Let us not forget our responsibilities include giving, going, praying…

Speak out about Godly values 35:41

4M ago35:41

35:41

Our nation has a wonderful Christian heritage over hundreds of years. We have a responsibility to speak out now for the Christian morals and beliefs that we value. We shouldn't leave that to other people to do. Our world is falling apart because people have turned their backs on God. Let's seek God and then take action. The script for the whole Ser…

Ingest and digest the very best 31:58

4M ago31:58

31:58

Haute cuisine is seen as wonderfully high-quality food. God has given us the Bible which tells us so much about His ways, His character and His love for all of humanity. It is truly life-changing and enriching food for our lives. God speaks to us as the ultimate creator, the preeminent communicator and transcendent in love. In this Talk we learn a …

We are seen and loved by God 33:15

4M ago33:15

33:15

Guy, the regional representative of the Leprosy Mission, came and spoke about the work of the Mission, with particular regard to a hospital in India, where 600 people queue up each day in humid conditions to get a diagnosis and then help. God cares for me. God is living and active in us and around us. We’re strengthened by the Living Water. Both Ha…

Freedom 32:13

5M ago32:13

32:13

God's manifesto for all of mankind was that we should know freedom from sin and death. He came to earth to accomplish this. He has stated that the manifesto that we should adhere to, is to act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with God (Micah 6:8). As we do these things we'll be showing the same freedom to others, that God has shown to us. Let's r…

Stories Jesus told: the persistent widow 37:47

5M ago37:47

37:47

In our last Talk in this Series, we think about what Jesus said about the persistent widow and the unjust judge (Luke 18:1-8). She didn't just want him to act on her behalf - she absolutely needed him to. God has intervened in humanity through Jesus's death on the cross. His intervention didn't just end there. As we pray, He will intervene in our l…

Stories Jesus told: an unexpected answer 34:35

5M ago34:35

34:35

Jesus tells a Parable to His Disciples about an unmerciful servant in Matthew 18:21-35. His debt, that was totally impossible to pay, was cleared by his master. However, he didn't show kindness to a fellow servant who owed him considerably less. Peter and the rest of the Disciples learned about forgiveness through this and so do we! God often gives…

Stories Jesus told: Foundations 31:40

5M ago31:40

31:40

We look at the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Builders (Matthew 7:24-27 and Luke 6:46-49) in this Talk. Will we choose to obey what God says as the foundation in our lives or will rebel, defy or disregard God and His commands? Just like practising to learn a piece of music on an instrument, so we need to practice our obedience towards God. Sometim…

Stories Jesus told: receive God's seed 17:07

5M ago17:07

17:07

Considering what Jesus said in Mark 4:1-20, we are reminded that God plants seed in our lives. We need to personally cultivate the soil of our lives. God's Word won't return to Him void. Sit close to Jesus! You can read the script for the whole Service here.By Jonathan van der Toorn

Stories Jesus told: Listen to our Shepherd 26:50

6M ago26:50

26:50

We first hear a short statement about our good friend Margaret who had died on the Wednesday before this Service. This Talk is based on John 10:1-18. Jesus talked in ways that made people sit up and listen. He had authority, but His delivery was also different from the other teachers around Him. Sheep are clever and recognise many voices. A sheepfo…

Stories Jesus told: New wine in old wineskins 28:40

6M ago28:40

28:40

This Parable is told in all the Synoptic Gospels, at Matthew 9:16,16, Mark 2:21,22 and Luke 5:33-39. God has given us all an Invitation to come to Him. How do we make sure that our regular activities and current ideas don't get in the way of what God wants to say to us and do with us? We can't pick and mix with a bit of God and a bit of us in our l…

Stories Jesus told: What's the cost? 30:46

6M ago30:46

30:46

When Jesus spoke in Parables, He was helping us to remember what He was saying so that we could ultimately change as a result of what He was speaking about. The possibility of not understanding what Jesus was saying in His mini-stories in Luke 14:25-33 is small. He is telling us that we need to give everything we have and are to Him. How will we li…

Stories Jesus told: The Ten Virgins 33:55

6M ago33:55

33:55

We have around fifty parables spoken by Jesus that are written in the Synoptic Gospels. He used familiar visible items in stories that told the truth of God's upside-down invisible world. The punchlines often necessitated change in the listeners. They still do! Are you ready for Jesus' Second Coming? Are you ready for the commands He gives you? Fix…

It is finished! 24:28

7M ago24:28

24:28

These two short Talks on Easter Day remind us of the immense actions that Jesus undertook on our behalf. We needed a Saviour to make it possible to have a good relationship with God, as sin had tragically blocked that intimacy. Jesus is that Saviour! The cross is now empty. The tomb is now empty. However, how obedient are you being to God? Paul rem…

Jesus entered 28:36

7M ago28:36

28:36

On Palm Sunday we consider how Jesus wasn't the only person to enter Jerusalem that day. Thousands of pilgrims would have made the journey up to Jerusalem, as well as Pontius Pilate arriving with his large military entourage. Jesus had a choice as to whether to enter the city and continue His walk towards His death on the cross. It was a week of aw…

Keep on Seeking! 30:39

7M ago30:39

30:39

At our biennial Partnership Sunday we think about the life of Joshua. He faced fresh challenges at different points in his life and through them actively sought to be obedient to God. Whether NCF is our long-term spiritual home or not, God is calling us to partner with Him in both our actions and our character. Let's make the decision to follow God…

God: so much more than a bang, a whoosh and a kaboom! (Songs of Praise) 29:11

7M ago29:11

29:11

We begin with ten people briefly describing why they chose a particular song for our special Songs of Praise Service. We then remember how God is our shelter and our strength (Psalm 46). Our lives reflect the truth that God has substance. He is not like a doting uncle who gives presents galore. God loves us, but wants all to grow and mature. We nee…

It's all in the Book 30:04

8M ago30:04

30:04

We need to read the Bible! It's good for us, as God inspired it to be written so that we might get to know Him. He encourages us, challenges us and leads us as we read it. The Bible straightens us and our lives out! The Script for the whole Service can be read here. (NB: After about seven minutes into the Talk John realised that he hadn't turned on…

Shall we ascend: Being joined in God's grace 28:31

8M ago28:31

God calls us to live in unity with other people. What a blessing it is to do that! A brief summary of all the Psalms we have met in this Series is also given. You can read the script for the whole Service here.By Annie George

Shall we ascend: Growing Up 32:08

8M ago32:08

32:08

We're all getting older! Physically, changes are going on in our bodies, but what about spiritually and emotionally? Are we maturing as Disciples of Jesus? Are we changing from being less childish to more childlike? Are we at rest with God? Often being content will lead on to being curious, but we need to be courageous in order to change. Is God ca…

Shall we ascend: It doesn't add up! 32:16

8M ago32:16

32:16

God doesn't measure things the same way that we do. For our sins we deserve eternal separation from God. Instead, He offers everyone reconcilation and restoration if we accept the fact that He paid the cost for our benefit. If God kept a record of our sins we would certainly not survive. We ought to be living our lives more riskier than others beca…

Shall we ascend: Incredible Restoration 31:11

8M ago31:11

31:11

The Psalmist praised God for the way that He had restored them. It was beyond belief what God had done for them! May we too dream big because of what God has done in our lives and in the livesof others. May the wowometer of our lives consistently put God at the top of our actions and thoughts. May the Lord transform and restore our cracked walls, o…

Shall we ascend: Trust God as you.... 32:07

9M ago32:07

32:07

God calls us both to work and to rest in our pilgrimage with Him. Let's not measure things by what we can see or hear now. Let's work for God in the ways that He instructs us to, then leave the outcomes to Him. The script for this Service can be read here.By Nik Howarth

Shall we ascend: Beyond measure 32:58

9M ago32:58

32:58

The Psalmist in Psalm 124 tells us several times that if it hadn't been for the Lord, then life would have been quite awful. God often goes well beyond the scale that we find to be normal in the way that He deals with us. We are on a Pilgrimage and Jesus is our Guide. Many of Jesus' stories are recounted in the four Gospels. Two of them (the Good S…

Shall we ascend: Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! 30:53

9M ago30:53

30:53

Whether our day is golden or it has immense problems, we truly need to call our Maydays out to God. "We need You and we are desperate for You!" That's how some of the worship in the Psalms of Ascent reads. God, we won't be overwhelmed when we're with You. We need God's help, and the help of others, in our lives regularly. Without the Lord, we are l…

Shall we ascend: Travelling where? 33:33

9M ago33:33

33:33

Our lives are a pilgrimage. How is our journey going? What are we carrying? What is our final destination? Who is guiding us there? This series of Talks in January and February will help us think about these questions. Let us give more prominence to the actual journey we're on and ask God to help us travel well and lightly with Him. The script for …

Forwards and Backwards? 24:27

10M ago24:27

24:27

The last day of a year is a wonderful time to look both backwards to 2023 in thanks and ahead to 2024 in order to prioritise our ambitions and dreams and then to submit everything to God. It's a certainty that God will remain faithful in 2024 as He has done in previous years and decades. The Script for the whole Service can be read here.…

Joy, Peace and Trust (Christmas Morning) 11:52

10M ago11:52

11:52

Our circumstances may not always make us feel joyful and peaceful. We all face uneasy things from time to time. However, let's decide to put out trust in God no matter what! You can read the Script for the whole Service here.By Gill Stephenson

Names! Names! Names! 28:39

10M ago28:39

28:39

There are several prominent names in the Christmas story. Jesus means "Yahweh saves." Jesus came to save all the people who have ever lived - not only the 8.1 billion who are alive now. He knows everything about us. He is very familiar with our very selves and also the circumstances we all face. Can you hear Him inviting you to the very special ban…

Sorry, we're full already! (Our Carol Service) 9:50

10M ago9:50

9:50

What a great time of the year Christmas is, though it is SO busy! Can you imagine Mary and Joseph trudging around Bethlehem looking for a room? Several receptionists would have commented, "Sorry, we're full already!" Eventually they found a place and Jesus was soon born in a stable because there was no room elsewhere. Is there room in your life for…

A shield about me 29:59

10M ago29:59

29:59

We examine part of King David's life in this Talk. He started low in society by being the youngest son and a shepherd. Some years after he became King, David was overthrown by his son Absalom. He was living in a ditch again. How did he feel? What was his relationship with God like now? He had lost everything! God does allow bad things to happen. Wh…

Coming! 30:55

11M ago30:55

30:55

On Advent Sunday (Adventus, a Latin word meaning: arrival or coming) we consider what impact Jesus' coming has made in our lives. God invites us to come to Him as we are - have you accepted that invitation for yourself? Wherever we are in our lives, Jesus says, "Come!" Let's come to God like children - wishing to grow, to sit and to enjoy being wit…

Gifts for all: Embrace the Possibilities 33:49

11M ago33:49

33:49

God has given us all Gifts for the benefit of other people. If we are to see them grow, we need to use them and we need to remember how important relationships are in our life. We might discover our Gifts in various ways, but relationships will feature somewhere. There is an open door for our Servant Assignments. Will we step through and keep on go…

Gifts for all: Why do you stand looking? 29:02

11M ago29:02

29:02

Some of the Gifts that God gives us to bless others with are done behind the scenes and few people consider them or even value them. Other Gifts are obviously obvious week in and week out. Let's ask God to fill us with His Spirit, so that whatever Gifts we have and use we will actively glorify God and encourage others in our lives. May we put our f…
