How to love one another
Passage Reading: Romans 13:8 – 14:7
Speaker Chris Haley
Series Church Anniversaries & Vision Days
Meeting Morning
Today at Beech Hill we celebrated 110 years since the church was first founded. So much has changed over the decades — the building, the faces, the seasons we’ve walked through — yet God’s word never changes.
This morning Pastor Chris opened Romans 13:8–14:7 under the title “How to Love One Another”, helping us see how the gospel shapes the way we live, serve, and care for each other as a church family.
Join us as we open God’s word together and give thanks for His faithfulness across every generation.

Psalm 89: I will sing.
Passage Psalm 89:1-37
Speaker Chris Haley
Series Psalms: Songs in the Key of Life
Meeting Morning
Psalm 89 begins with confidence, celebration, and strong declarations of God’s faithfulness — the psalmist lifts up God’s covenant love and mighty works with joy.
But after verse 37, the tone changes. The psalmist looks at the brokenness around him and cries out in confusion, asking why God’s promises seem distant in the midst of suffering.
Today, Pastor Chris helps us walk through this dramatic shift — from praise to lament — and shows how even the psalmist’s hardest questions ultimately point us to the Lord Jesus, the true fulfilment of God’s covenant faithfulness.
Join us as we open God’s word together.

Psalm 88 : I Cry Out Before You
Passage Psalm 88
Speaker Chris Haley
Series Psalms: Songs in the Key of Life
Meeting Morning
Do you ever wonder where God is in times of trouble — when life feels heavy, prayers feel unanswered, and hope seems distant?
In Psalm 88, the psalmist cries out from a place of deep darkness… and receives no immediate answer.
Today, Pastor Chris opens this challenging psalm and helps us see how even in silence, God is still at work — ultimately leading us back to the Lord Jesus, our true hope in every season.
Join us as we open God’s word together.

Speaker Richard Hughes
Series Psalms: Songs in the Key of Life
Meeting Morning
Great is Your Steadfast Love — Psalm 86
Richard Hughes brings us a heartfelt teaching from Psalm 86, exploring four ways we can respond to God’s steadfast love:

• Request what we need most
Richard also shares a verse that means so much to him —
“Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name.”
He reads it in Welsh, a beautiful moment that resonates for us all.

We need the lion!
Passage Judges 19 to 21
Speaker Chris Haley
Series Judges
Meeting Evening
Pastor Chris brings our series on Judges to a sobering close as we step into chapters 19–21 — some of the darkest and most disturbing moments in the whole book.
Echoes of Sodom and Gomorrah run through these chapters as Israel spirals into chaos, with everyone doing what was right in their own eyes. What follows is a brutal national conflict and a devastating reminder of what happens when a people turn away from God.
Join us as Chris unpacks this grim but essential ending to Judges — and shows how even in the bleakest moments, God is still working out His purposes.

The Unclean Cleansed
Passage Luke 5:12-26
Speaker Chris Haley
Series Luke: The Gospel of Luke
Meeting Morning
In our ongoing series through the Gospel of Luke, Pastor Chris takes us into Luke 5:12–26, where Jesus performs two remarkable miracles of healing. But there’s something even deeper happening in this passage.
As the crowds watch, Jesus says to one of the men, “Your sins are forgiven.”
It sparks outrage — “Only God can forgive sins!” they protest… not realising they are standing in the very presence of God Himself.
Join us as Chris unpacks this powerful moment, revealing the true authority of Jesus and the life‑changing significance behind these miracles.

An Everyman Story
Passage Judges 17 & 18
Speaker Chris Haley
Series Judges
Meeting Evening
Pastor Chris continues our series in Judges, and this week we step into one of the most surprising and unsettling parts of the whole book. We meet a man called Micah — and no, not Micah the prophet. These two are chalk and cheese. This Micah is a picture of what happens when people create their own version of faith, their own version of God, and their own version of truth.
It’s a story full of confusion, compromise, and spiritual drift. And it all sits under that haunting line: “Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.”
Judges 17–18 challenges us to ask: What happens when worship becomes self‑made? What happens when God is replaced with convenience? And what does this passage reveal about the world we live in today?

Disciples Called
Passage Luke 5:1 – 11
Speaker Chris Haley
Series Luke: The Gospel of Luke
Meeting Morning
Pastor Chris continues his series in Luke, and today we step into a scene that changes everything. Imagine recruiting a team — you’d look for expertise, credentials, proven ability. But Jesus walks by the lakeside and calls fishermen with no degrees, no training, no status. And they leave everything.
This is the moment the first disciples are called.

This evening Pastor Chris takes us back into Judges, exploring the life of Samson — a man of incredible strength and undeniable weakness.
We follow the story to its climax in Judges 16:23–31, where Samson’s final act brings down the house — literally — and God accomplishes more through his death than through all his battles while alive.
A message of warning, hope, and God’s unstoppable purposes.

Meeting Evening
Pastor Chris continues our ‘Bible Books in Twenty Minutes’ series with a sharp and thoughtful look at the Book of James — a letter some have found controversial because James appears to say the opposite of Paul, insisting that we are not saved by faith alone.
In this message, Pastor Chris shows how James and Paul are not opponents but partners, each revealing a different side of the same gospel truth.
Our reading is James 1:9–27, where James calls us to a faith that listens, obeys, and bears fruit.

In today’s message, Pastor Chris brings our Philippians series to a powerful close with “Partners in Tribulation.”
Paul’s final words to the church in Philippi remind us that gospel partnership isn’t just about standing together in the good moments — it’s about sharing everything.
Pastor Chris explores how we walk with one another through:
Tribulations — standing together in trials and troubles
Sacrificial giving — supporting the work of the gospel with generosity
Spiritual care — praying, encouraging, and lifting one another up
Practical support — sharing resources, time, and love
As Paul thanks the Philippians for their partnership, he shows us what true Christian community looks like: a family that shares in joys, burdens, needs, and blessings.
Settle in and join us as Pastor Chris points us to the God who supplies all our needs — and calls us to care deeply for one another in His name.

Celebrate the Feast
Passage Zechariah 14:6 – 19
Speaker Steve Orr
Series Zechariah
Meeting Evening
Welcome to our evening service at Beech Hill.
Tonight, Steve Orr brings us the penultimate message in his long‑running series through the prophet Zechariah.
In “Celebrate the Feast,” Steve opens Zechariah 14:6–19, a passage filled with striking contrasts and powerful promises. Zechariah speaks of a unique day known only to the Lord, when light breaks through the evening, living waters flow from Jerusalem, and the Lord is recognised as King over all the earth. It’s a vision of renewal, security, and the triumph of God’s kingdom — alongside a sober warning to the nations that stand against Him.
Steve helps us see how these vivid images point us to Christ’s reign, God’s faithfulness, and the call for all peoples to worship the Lord, culminating in the command to “keep the Feast of Booths.”
Settle in, open your Bible, and join us as we continue this remarkable journey through Zechariah.
