Forest Hill Community Church Talks

In our ongoing series discussing parts of life that it's easy to not talk about in Church, we look at how our faith should inform us and shape our treatment of the world God created. 

In our final week exploring the values that lie behind our life as church, Nigel explores what 'everyone going' might mean for our lives and for our church community.

Darach concludes our series on parables, speaking on Jesus' teaching about the bridesmaids with their oil lamps.

Sarah continues our series on difficult parables that Jesus told, with the story of the wedding banquet. 

Bev speaks on the parable of the labourers in the vineyard, and what we can learn from this story in different spheres of our lives. 

John Putley continues our series on parables, looking at Jesus' stories that explore prayer.

In our second youth-run service of 2019, our very own Jess Taylor speaks on the journey of an incredible woman and how that story can impact our relationship with God even today.

Around this time each year we hold our Annual General Meeting as a church. This is a great chance to get a bit more of a sense of the breadth of what we get to be involved with as a community, and of how God has been moving and what we're still longing for and reaching towards as a church together. 

Today we baptised our very own Tony Lewis. Nigel speaks on the heart behind baptism and Tony shares his testimony and gently embarrasses his friends and family.

We hear from Hannah at the end of her year away working in Harare, Zimbabwe, and then Nigel and Sam share at the end of our week of prayer as a church. The augio quality clears up after the first couple of minutes, so hang on in there. Apologies.

The final talk in our series on prayer leading into a week of prayer as a church, Nigel speaks about Pentecost and how the power of the Spirit is released as God's people gather together to pray and seek and wait for him. 

Bev continues our series on prayer speaking from James 5 about how we can be a church that prays for one another

Sam speaks on contemplation and silence in prayer, looking at the story of Anna.

Guest speaker Shunu Pellew speaks on the power of agreement in prayer with God and with each other.

Nigel speaks about how the church gathered to pray for Peter when he was in prison. Even in their doubt and confusion and fear, God came through and rescued Peter.

Guest speaker John Pressdee speaks on Nehemiah - being a person of prayer and of action.
