Welcome to our podcast page
So here it is at last... your chance to download an audio version of the talks on Sundays... Yes, we know - not that exciting but perhaps useful every now and again. Let us know if any thing is not working or you are having difficulty getting things to download...
A House of Prayer
Richard shares his experience of prayer and what God has been saying to him
about it all recently. Honest and simply told this is a call to us all as
a church to be the 'house of prayer' that Jesus so longs for.

Denial
It's all going belly up. Jesus is heading towards certain death. The disciples are loosing it and Peter can't hold himself together... Gavin searches out the edges of our own stories and how we connect with Peter, even at this terrible moment of denial. No Podcast
I'm afraid due to technical problems... Still worth having a read through...
Feet
Once again Peter finds himself straining to understand what Jesus is doing and saying. Jesus astounds him with an act of radical service - washing his disciple's feet. Richard explores the significance of this for Peter and for us right here, right now. The focal image is of a towel.

Stuff
Jesus meets a rich young man burning with desire for real life and Peter watches with intent as Jesus invites the man to give everything away. Peter can't quite make sense of it all and begins to learn more about life in the kingdom. James Vaughton from Bath Youth for Christ brilliantly helps us to reflect on what this story means for us today. He also tells us about a vision God has put on his heart for a new School's worker in the City.

Forgiveness
Sadly the recording didn't work this week so we can't publish Gavin's talk on Peter's wondering just how many times he had to forgive those who had wounded him. Still you could read the passage in Matthew 18:21-35. Forgiveness is clearly important to Jesus
Transfiguration
Not a word we use in common speech, nor a story we talk much about as a church. So why was the 'transfiguration' of Jesus so important to Peter? It certainly seems to have grabbed his attention. God wants us to listen to Jesus. And so we wonder what God might be saying to us, individually and as a community, which will help us live life well.

Sunday Live!
Ok, not your normal service - no sermon really - just loads of stories about what God is doing among us and what he is saying to us. Unscripted, moving, inspiring. Recording got interrupted a little so some people's stories have been cut out by mistake - but you'll still get the drift... And what is even better is that "He who began a good work in us will carry it on to completion until the day of Jesus Christ". (Philippians 1:6) Click here to listen
Understanding Jesus
Wow! What a morning! Great to see so many people joining us as we celebrated the baptism of 7 people of all ages: Sam, Ephrath, Sam, Isaac, Ed, Peter and Dave. Made all the more memorable when the electrics blew and we fell into darkness. Today really was a movement from darkness to light and it was a complete joy to listen to how God is changing lives. Who do you say that Jesus is?

Water
Perhaps the busiest day in the gospel stories... trips around the lake, feeding 5000, a boat rip back home, a late night encounter with Jesus... famous stories - but what is the real significance? Gavin takes us back through the story focussing on Peter and how he responds to Jesus' call to join him on the 'waters' and invites us to wonder where we are in the story ourselves. Truly insightful!

Fish
The first of the new series tracing Peter's life as he becomes a disciple and learns to live within the Kingdom of God that Jesus opens up for him. This week Richard sets the scene walking us through the way Luke tells the story of Peter (or Simon as he was initially called).
The story ends with Simon Peter walking away from everything that has been important to him so far... and we are left wondering happened to the fish...

Epiphany Sunday
What's 'Epiphany' all about? What relevance does the story of the Magi have for us here in Twerton in 2008? On this first attempt at recording a service (this was a 'Sunday Live!' service following a massive breakfast together) Richard gives a brief reflection on the story, weaves in a connection between that our hopes for the new year together and then turns our attention to praying for Sam Ludwell our new Youth Director, who has just started working with us.
