Starting the 8th January 2023, Salt Church will be in our Summer Series! We all want solutions to our World’s biggest problems. Did you know that God has a better way? Jan 8th: Be Mentally Well We have good ways to improve mental health – RUOK day, self care, psychology, medication. Yet more people are suffering than ever before and the problem’s getting worse not better. What’s the missing piece? Hear from God a better way to be mentally well.   Jan 15th: Be Eco-Friendly Many people use and abuse our planet, but we need to care for it – it’s the only one we’ve got. We should all be green and do our bit. And yet God cares about our planet even ...

Sunday 8th May 2022, Salt Church will start a new series in Deuteronomy! MAIN PURPOSE OF THE BOOK Israel is on the plains of Moab about to enter the Promised Land. Their leader Moses is about to die. And so comes Deuteronomy – 3 sermons from Moses to tell God’s people how to love God. Deuteronomy is to the Old Testament what Romans is to the New Testament; it’s the most thorough explanation of the character and purposes of God, how to become one of God’s people and how to live and to love God as one of his people. The main purpose of the book is to call every generation of Israelites to faithful covenant love for God, in ...

Starting Sunday 6th February 2022, Salt Church will continue working our way through Matthew chapters 9-17! Last year we started in the book of Matthew, where we are shown Jesus Christ: the greatest human who ever lived, with radically good teaching, who brings us the most astonishing salvation and an utterly new life. The purpose of the book is to convince Jews that Jesus is their promised Messiah who brings salvation, and to convince Gentiles that they can share in this salvation. Then it is for these new people of God (the Church) to know from Jesus’ teaching what it looks like to be Jesus’ disciple-making-disciples, and to be comforted by Jesus’ promises that He is with us, in spite of the ...

Starting the 2nd January 2022, Salt Church will be in our Summer Series! Many of us have read some or all of the Bible, and so there’s many things about God we assume we know. God is full of surprises though! So across January at Salt Church, we’ll look at four unexpected truths, four surprising things God wants you to know. Jan 2nd: If there even is a God out there, surely we can’t know that God and what God’s like. God has an unexpected truth for you: God is there, and you can know him   Jan 9th: Sadly Christians sometimes cause more hurt than help, and so Christianity is often accused of being harmful. God has an unexpected truth ...

Starting the 12th December 2021, Salt Church will be focusing on Christmas Carols: More than background noise! One feature of the Christmas period is Christmas Carols. We all have our favourite Carol. Whether you love or hate them you definitely can’t ignore them, as they’re blasted out on repeat in all the shops. Usually though, Christmas Carols are part of the background noise of Christmas – drowned out by the parties and presents, food, friends and fun. This Christmas we’re bringing them front and centre to see what they’re about: what did the writers of these songs see about Jesus and the first Christmas that led them to write these famous Carols? We’d love you to join us this Christmas, ...

Starting the 10th October 2021, Salt Church will be focusing on Romans 12: Living In View of God’s Mercy! How should we live in response to God’s enormous mercy to us in Jesus? To be a disciple of Jesus is to live a radically different life in response to God’s extraordinary kindness to us. But what does that life look like? How should I live to please God more with my life? How should we live as disciples at Salt Church?  Romans 12 is packed with how to live in response to the gospel. It begins with ‘In view of God’s mercy… do this .. (verse 1). In this chapter there’s hardly a part of life God doesn’t address for us ...

Starting the 18th July 2021, Salt Church will be focusing on Acts 1-8! The history recorded by Luke shows again and again the intense opposition and persecution God’s people face, yet how the message they preach continues to go out and cannot be stopped. They carry the news: ‘God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah’, and ‘Salvation is found in no-one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved’ (2:36, 4:12). That news rings out to the ends of the earth, and it is unstoppable. The big message of Acts is the gospel is unstoppable. God will save through the message of Jesus, the Church ...

Starting the 2nd May 2021, Salt Church will be looking into the Old Testament book of Hosea! The book of Hosea shows us that Ancient Israel is smothered in their sin and is guilty of the ugliest spiritual adultery towards God. They’ll face judgement – inevitably Assyria is coming. But God’s relentless love for His wayward bride will pursue and renew them. God loves His people, the bible tells us so. The book of Hosea will show us just how ugly and loveless we really are, and just how relentless and boundless the love of God is. Every week at Salt Church we open the bible to hear God reveal reality to us. We need to see the shape of ...
