What really matters? Jesus died on behalf of all of us and in him we are all offered forgiveness from God. However we only receive this if we choose to accept Jesus. On Sunday 1st November Tim Murray spoke on the second half of 2 Corinthians 5. The grace of God changes everything. Don't pretend to accept Jesus but refuse to let him transform your life. That's what really matters. Listen to David's message from last week For more information about who we are, what we believe and how you can get involved, please visit our website

Don’t be ruled by what you see with your physical eyes, we are called to live by faith not sight. On Sunday 25th October David Faulkner spoke on 2 Corinthians 5:1-10. He particularly spoke about our future as followers of Jesus and how that future should affect lifehere and now. Our challenge was not to be too attached to this world. Remember, death does not win. Life wins. Listen to Adrian's message from last week For more information about who we are, what we believe and how you can get involved, please visit our website

What keeps us going? Where do we place our confidence? What is it that sustains us? On Sunday 18th October we returned to our series in 2 Corinthians, picking up again at chapter 4. In this chapter we see that the Gospel speaks for itself and we can take confidence in that, the unseen is more important than the seen - God uses our human frailty and vulnerability, and finally the momentary and transient will give way to eternity. When things look bleak don't look out, look up! Listen to Tim's introductory message For more information about who we are, what we believe and how you can get involved, please visit our website

Baptisms are special occasions at ACC and we were excited to have a baptism service on 11th October. As part of this Tim spoke about living water. 💧 Water is central to what it means to have life in our world yet water itself isn't a living thing. 💧 No matter how much we drink we get thirsty again. We are thirsty naturally for water and we are thirsty for more in our lives. What this world need is living water from heaven.

Conflict is inevitable, even conflict in the church. But not all conflict is bad. On Sunday 20th September we continued our series in the book of 2 Corinthians, reading 2 Corinthians 1:12-2:17 and we looked at how Paul shows us a way of responding to conflict that might be helpful for us all these years later in the 21st century.

There are moments in life when we need comfort. On Sunday 13th September Vanessa continued our new series in the book of 2 Corinthians and read from 2 Corinthians 1:1-11 where the word comfort appears ten times! God comforts us and we are to comfort others, but the ultimate comfort we have is in the promise of Jesus returning and fully reigning.

Make God the place that you dwell, it will move and shape you. On Sunday 23rd August Esther spoke on Psalm 91, which is her favourite psalm, as part of the summer psalms series we've had this year. What does it mean to dwell? To sit, to live, to abide. To keep thinking or talking about something a lot of the time. Let God be part of your life every single day. The best thing to do whenever you're afraid is to pray 🙏 Listen to Psalm 91 live by SONICFLOOd For more information about who we are, what we believe and how you can get involved, please visit our website

On Sunday 5th July we had Reuben Williams as a guest speaker. None of us are beyond moments of doubt. When your faith gets shaken... - Get around God's people, we were made to be with others. - Don't mistake God's silence for his absence, just because he isn't speaking doesn't mean he isn't working. He's always doing something. - Get in God's word, he'll speak to us and prepare us for what we're going to step into. - Hear God's boast.
