    Part 2 - A Church Filled with the Spirit
    Apr 20 2026
    This week Peter Vincent takes us further into the book of Acts as we see that the promised Holy Spirit comes upon those first disciples, empowering them to be witnesses of all that Jesus has done for them. The filling of the Holy Spirit is something for us all to ask God for. And after that filling, we go on praying for more of the Spirit’s power in our lives day to day to empower us, to gift us and to remind us of the love of God.

    Part 7 - The Unedited Self: How to Pray When You're Feeling Rubbish
    Mar 16 2026
    In this talk, based on John chapter 4 (the woman at the well), Howard and Holly Satterthwaite explore why prayer can feel difficult even though we believe it is powerful. Using the Samaritan woman’s encounter with Jesus as a picture of prayer as conversation with God, they highlight four movements: initiation, vulnerability, revelation, and transformation. Jesus invites our “unedited selves” into honest conversation and meets us with healing and forgiveness.
