3 Bible Tools • All Things New: Ephesians • John Freeman • 31st May 2026

In this interactive sermon on Ephesians 3:1–13, John pauses our journey through Ephesians to explore three simple tools for engaging with the Bible. Using resources from BibleProject, the practice of slow reading, and the Swedish Bible Study Method, this message is less about teaching one passage and more about helping us encounter God through Scripture for ourselves. As we read, reflect, discuss, and pray, we discover that God still speaks through his word and invites us to listen, respond, and grow as disciples of Jesus.

Pentecost Sunday • Francis Moloney • 24th May 2026

In this Pentecost Sunday sermon on Acts 2, Francis explores the gift and work of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit who was present at creation, who empowered the ministry of Jesus, and who came upon the disciples at Pentecost is now given to all who belong to Christ. The Holy Spirit leads us to Jesus, liberates us from sin and guilt, and equips ordinary people to join in God’s mission in the world. Pentecost reminds us that we are not left alone, but filled with the very presence and power of God.

Celebration Sunday • John Freeman • 17th May 2026

In this Celebration Sunday sermon on Matthew 9:35–38, John reflects on Jesus’ words: “The harvest is plentiful.” As St. Aidan’s looks back on all that God has done over the past year – from growing community and youth ministry to stories of faith, prayer, and baptism – we are reminded that God is still at work. The invitation of this message is not simply to celebrate the past, but to step forward in faith, praying for workers and expecting God to continue building his Kingdom in Cumbria.

New Humanity • All Things New: Ephesians • John Freeman • 10th May 2026

In this sermon on Ephesians 2:11–22, John explores the divisions that so often shape our world, and the new unity that Jesus makes possible. Through his death and resurrection, Christ tears down the barriers that separate us from God and from one another, creating a new humanity built upon himself. The church is called not only to enjoy this unity, but to become a living sign of God’s coming Kingdom: a community where his presence is experienced, his peace is lived out, and people catch a glimpse of the future God is bringing about.

A New Life • All Things New: Ephesians • Steve Weston • 3rd May 2026

In this sermon on Ephesians 2:1–10, Steve reflects on the powerful “before and after” story at the heart of the gospel. Once spiritually dead and cut off from God, we are made alive in Christ, not through our own effort, but by grace. This is not a small change, but a complete transformation: from mess to masterpiece. In Jesus, we are given new life and a new purpose, invited to walk in the good works God has prepared for us.
