Please see below recordings of the service and the sermon notes for each week in July.

Sermon notes
The Good Shepherd XII (Psalm 23:6 & John 14:8-17) – Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
The last verse of Psalm 23 seems clear, but is of immense meaning. How can we be sure of God’s goodness and mercy? What does dwelling in the house of the Lord look like? As we close Psalm 23, we see the riches of the Good Shepherd and an eternal dwelling place.
12th July
Sermon notes
The Good Shepherd XIII (Psalm 23:6 & Heb 13:20-21) – I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever
One sermon can’t do this great verse justice! What does it mean to dwell with the Lord? How do we experience this today? This verse sums up Psalm 23 and the experience on offer to every Christian.

The Good Shepherd Finale (Psalm 23:6, Deuteronomy 15:12-18 & John 16:5-11) – Am I a Christian?
Am I a Christian? In this series finale we’ll look at how to tell. How can you really know if you’re saved; and what happens if you’re not?

Sunday 24th May
Song: 10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord)
Chorus
Bless the Lord O my soul O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before O my soul
I’ll worship Your holy name
The sun comes up it’s a new day dawning
It’s time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes
Chorus
You’re rich in love and You’re slow to anger
Your name is great and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find
Chorus
And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending
Ten thousand years and then forevermore
Worship Your holy name
Lord I’ll worship Your holy name
Ending
Sing like never before O my soul
I’ll worship Your holy name
Worship Your holy name
Worship Your holy name

Reading: Ephesians 6:10-17 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
The Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. 11 Put on the full armour of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 12 For our struggle is not against [a]flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore, take up the full armour of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14 Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 [b]in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Song: Seek Ye First
Seek ye first the kingdom of God
And His righteousness
And all these things
Shall be added unto you
Allelu alleluia
Men (at same time):
Man shall not live by bread alone
But by ev’ry word
That proceeds
From the mouth of God
Allelu alleluia
Ladies (at same time):
Hal-le-lu-hah
Hal-le-lu-hah
Hal-le-lu-hah
Alleluia
Ask and it shall be given unto you
Seek and ye shall find
Knock and the door
Shall be opened unto you
Allelu alleluia

Reading: Psalm 23 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
The Lord, the Psalmist’s Shepherd.
A Psalm of David.
23 The Lord is my shepherd,
I [a]shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside [b]quiet waters.
3 He restores my soul;
He guides me in the [c]paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk through the [d]valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no [e]evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You [f]have anointed my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
6 [g]Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will [h]dwell in the house of the Lord [i]forever.
Song: O The Deep Deep Love (Austria)
O the deep deep love of Jesus
Vast unmeasured boundless free
Rolling as a mighty ocean
In it’s fullness over me
Underneath me all around me
Is the current of Thy love
Leading onward leading homeward
To my glorious rest above
O the deep deep love
Vast unmeasured boundless free
O the deep deep love
In it’s fullness over me
O the deep deep love of Jesus
Spread His praise from shore to shore
How He loveth ever loveth
Changeth never never more
How He watches o’er His loved ones
Died to call them all His own
How for them He intercedeth
Watcheth o’er them from the throne
O the deep deep love
Spread His praise from shore to shore
O the deep deep love
Changeth never never more
O the deep deep love of Jesus
Love of every love the best
‘Tis an ocean vast of blessing
Tis a haven sweet of rest
O the deep deep love of Jesus
‘Tis a heaven of heavens to me
And it lifts me up to Glory
For it lifts me up to Thee
O the deep deep love
Love of every love the best
O the deep deep love
‘Tis a haven sweet of rest

Sermon notes
Sunday 17th May
Song: Lion Of Judah
You’re the Lion of Judah
The Lamb who was slain
You ascended to heaven
And ever more will reign
At the end of the age
When the earth You reclaim
You will gather the nations before You
And the eyes of all men
Will be fixed on the Lamb
Who was crucified
With wisdom and mercy and justice
You’ll reign at Your Father’s side
Chorus
And the angels will cry hail the Lamb
Who was slain for the world rule in pow’r
And the earth will reply You shall reign
As the King of all kings
And the Lord of all lords
There’s a shield in our hand
And a sword at our side
There’s a fire in our spirits
That cannot be denied
‘Cause the Father has told us
For these You have died
For the nations who gather before You
And the ears of all men
Need to hear of the Lamb
Who was crucified
Who descended to hell
Yet was raised up to reign
At His Father’s side
Chorus

Reading: 2 Corinthians 4:16-5:10 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
16 Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. 17 For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, 18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
The Temporal and Eternal
5 For we know that if [a]the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For indeed in this house we groan, longing to be clothed with our dwelling from heaven, 3 inasmuch as we, having put it on, will not be found naked. 4 For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that what is mortal will be swallowed up by life. 5 Now He who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave to us the Spirit as a [b]pledge.
6 Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord— 7 for we walk by faith, not by [c]sight— 8 we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord. 9 Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for [d]his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
Song: My Song Is Love Unknown (Love Unknown)
My song is love unknown
My Saviour’s love for me
Love to the loveless shown
That they might lovely be
For who am I
That in my place
My Lord should take
Frail flesh and die
My song is love unbound,
For love has conquered death,
And love the victory won in this
His parting breath;
For with the cry that all is done
vain darkness fell before the Son
My song of love enthroned
Where angel voices raise
To magnify the Son
And sing the Father’s praise
So shall I stand, In glorious throng
and add my praises to that song
So shall I stand, in glorious throng
and add my praises to that song.

Song: It Is Well With My Soul
When peace like a river
Attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot
Thou hast taught me to say
It is well
It is well with my soul
Chorus
It is well with my soul
It is well
It is well with my soul
Tho’ Satan should buffet
Tho’ trials should come
Let this blest assurance control
That Christ hath regarded
My helpless estate
And hath shed His own blood
For my soul
Chorus
My sin O the bliss
Of this glorious tho’t
My sin not in part but the whole
Is nailed to the cross
And I bear it no more
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord O my soul
Chorus
And Lord haste the day
When the faith shall be sight
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll
The trump shall resound
And the Lord shall descend
Even so it is well
With my soul
Chorus

Reading: 1 John 3:16-24 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
16 We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17 But whoever has the world’s goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his [a] heart [b] against him, how does the love of God abide in him? 18 Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth. 19 We will know by this that we are of the truth, and will [c] assure our heart before Him 20 [d] in whatever our heart condemns us; for God is greater than our heart and
knows all things. 21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence [e] before God; 22 and whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.
23 This is His commandment, that we [f] believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He [g] commanded us. 24 The one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. We know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.
Song: Create In Me A Clean Heart
Chorus
Create in me a clean heart O Lord my God
And renew a right spirit within me x2
Verse
Cast me not away from Thy presence O Lord
Take not Thy Holy Spirit from me
Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation
And renew a right spirit within me

Sermon
Song: To God Be The Glory
To God be the glory great things He hath done
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin
And opened the life gates that all may go in
Chorus
Praise the Lord praise the Lord
Let the earth hear His voice
Praise the Lord praise the Lord
Let the people rejoice
O come to the Father through Jesus the Son
And give Him the glory great things He has done
O perfect redemption the purchase of blood
To ev’ry believer the promise of God
The vilest offender who truly believes
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives
Chorus
Great things He hath taught us
Great things He hath done
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son
But purer and higher and greater will be
Our wonder our transport when Jesus we see
