👋 You’re invited! Come explore this question on 28th June 💭

Our society values human rights, equality, and dignity, but have you ever wondered why humans should have those things? What’s the basis for those beliefs… if there is a basis for them?

You are invited to join us as a church as we hear from a guest speaker 💬

All are welcome. Come as you are! 👋

glenscriv is a popular YouTuber, author, podcaster, and director of speaklifeuk.

It’s one of the biggest questions of our time: What makes humans worthy of rights?
Where do our modern ideas of equality come from? Can message of Jesus offers a deeper explanation than we often realise?

🗓️ Join us Sunday 28th June.
📍Portsmouth.
⏰ 10:30AM Sunday 8th March at John Pounds Centre.

What does it take to become a different kind of person?

Jacob left Canaan with the sound of his lies echoing through their family. But now he faces his brother who he hurt.

Jacob is a different man now. He prays humbly for undeserved kindness from God.

Jacob wrestles a mysterious figure. In this match, God subdues him. Jacob - now named Israel - comes away limping, yet with a blessing and a sight of God. This strange moment seems to symbolise how his life has changed him as a person.

‘Jacob then named the place Peniel, “For I have seen God face to face,” he said, “yet my life has been spared.”’ Genesis 32:30

Come join us on the journey…

Simple answers to hard questions?

Can you explain eleven-dimensional string theory? Or solve a fourth-order nonlinear differential equation?

I can’t! It’s beyond me

Sometimes someone asks us a question that stumps us. We don’t know how to answer.

The same happens with questions about our faith.

💡You are the light of the world.

A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden.

No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, but rather on a lampstand, and it gives light for all who are in the house.

In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭14‬-‭16‬

Yesterday, we gathered at church. Today we are the church scattered and sent.

Enjoy your Monday!

Did you enjoy our new coffee? ☕️

Holy Fool is a specialty coffee company that provides training for prison leavers and those overcoming social difficulties.

That’s why we’ve chosen Holy Fool Coffee to be our new coffee supplier.

They want to create a thriving business that breaks cycles of poverty and marginalisation.

We are glad to be able to be a part of that mission too.

🙏 Day 6: Spend time today asking God to guide you into a life that treasures.

'Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.'

Join us as we journey through the Lord's Prayer - the prayer Jesus taught - this week!

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
