With a relaxing of the lock down rules during the Coronavirus crisis the church is able to run services again in the sanctuary, but with a limited number of worshippers. However, the decision to simultaneously continue with the live-stream services online was taken.

Below is the recording of the sermon for this week. Pastor Ray Pountney investigates into what faith looks like in our lives.

Living in Faith pt. 4: Faith That is Seen – Hebrews 11:1-7 – Rev Ray Pountney – 11th October 2020

• Reflective Hymn & Hebrews 11:1-7

  Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)
   
  You call me out upon the waters
  The great unknown where feet may fail
  And there I find You in the mystery
  In oceans deep
  My faith will stand
   
  And I will call upon Your name
  And keep my eyes above the waves
  When oceans rise
  My soul will rest in Your embrace
  For I am Yours and You are mine
   
  Your grace abounds in deepest waters
  Your sovereign hand
  Will be my guide
  Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
  You’ve never failed and You won’t start now
   
  And I will call upon Your name…
   
  Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
  Let me walk upon the waters
  Wherever You would call me
  Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
  And my faith will be made stronger
  In the presence of my Savior
   
  Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders…
   
  Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders…
   
  And I will call upon Your name…

  
  By Faith We Understand
   
  1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.
   
  3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, [Pastor Ray did not read section b of this verse but expounded briefly on it instead] …so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.
   
  Faith at the Dawn of History
   
  4 By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks.
   
  5 By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
   
  7 By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
