  • Does God show favouritism? - Acts 10 (Ruth McCabe)

    Does God show favouritism? - Acts 10 (Ruth McCabe)
    May 10 2026
    Acts 10 tells the story of Peter and Cornelius: a vision of clean and unclean animals, an angel’s call, and the realisation that God shows no favouritism. This talk explores how God knows us by name, welcomes people from every nation, and brings salvation through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all. It considers Peter’s vision, the inclusion of Gentiles, the role of the Holy Spirit, and what it means to trust Jesus as the way to the Father. Key passages include Acts 10:1–20, 34–38, with links to Luke 12:7, Acts 4:12, and John 14:6. This talk was given by Ruth McCabe at St Jude’s Church Southsea on [Date]. The readings were Acts 10:1–20 and 34–38. Peter’s journey from hesitation to obedience shows God preparing hearts on both sides: Cornelius seeking truth, and Peter learning that the gospel crosses every boundary. The talk invites us to pray, listen, and be open to the Spirit’s leading, whether through Scripture, prayer, or even dreams and visions. It points us to Jesus—his life, death and risen power—and to the hope of being one family in Christ, whatever our background. Listeners are encouraged to seek God, to invite others to explore faith, and to trust that the Holy Spirit is at work today.

  • Praying bold prayers in everyday life - Acts 9:32–43 (Rachel Drake)

    Praying bold prayers in everyday life - Acts 9:32–43 (Rachel Drake)
    May 3 2026
    What does it mean to pray bold prayers when outcomes are uncertain? In Acts 9:32–43, Peter tells Aeneas to rise and calls Tabitha back to life—and many turn to the Lord. This talk explores how and why Christians can pray courageously for healing, drawing on Jesus’ promise that his followers will continue his works (John 14:12) and his commissioning of the apostles (Luke 9:1–2). It also acknowledges that God does not always answer as we hope, and invites us to pray with humility, sensitivity and trust. This talk was given by Rachel Drake at St Jude’s Church, Southsea on 3 May 2026. The reading was Acts 9:32–43; additional references include Luke 9:1–2 and John 14:12. With a warm, pastoral tone, Rachel reflects on Peter’s story—his faith and his failings—and encourages us to take the next small step in boldness, perhaps just “10%” more than we pray now. She offers simple, practical ways to pray for healing: listen, ask clearly, believe in God’s faithfulness, and give thanks. A personal testimony about praying for her son’s health reminds us that God is at work even in the waiting. Listeners are encouraged to bring honest requests to God and to share answers that build up the church.

  • "Paul: Not the Creator of Christianity, but Its Greatest Ambassador" with Colin Towner

    "Paul: Not the Creator of Christianity, but Its Greatest Ambassador" with Colin Towner
    Apr 26 2026
    This is the talk from our 10:45 service on 26 April 2026. The readings were Acts 9:20–31 and Galatians 1:11–24. From Damascus to Jerusalem, Saul’s dramatic turnaround sparks astonishment, opposition and a helping hand from Barnabas. We trace how Jesus—not Paul—is the true creator of Christianity, while Paul becomes his tireless ambassador, preaching, planting and suffering for the gospel he received by revelation. The talk invites us to engage afresh with Paul’s letters: sometimes demanding, often luminous, always rich in Christ-centred wisdom and encouragement. Expect challenge, reassurance and a call to read, rejoice and trust the God whose love in Christ will not let us go.
