Welcome to the fifth and final message in this series on Cultivating Character through the book of Daniel.

In this message, Pastor Jonny speaks on COMMITMENT and encourages us to commit in the quiet and live loud. Not in a brash or arrogant way, but to commit everything to God in the quiet times so that we are strengthened to live fully in His way as we go to work, in our families, in our homes, in public.

We look at the example of Daniel in chapter 6 and how he committed in the quiet but lived loud in his walk with God.

Welcome to the fourth message in this series on Cultivating Character through the book of Daniel.

In this message, Pastor Chris shares with us about HUMILITY and suggests that the transforming power of the Holy Spirit shows up when we are humble. When we live in humility and in submission to God.

We look at the example of Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel and how he refused to humble himself and so finds himself lost - all he has to do, though, is look up and acknowledge that there is someone greater. God blesses him for this humility.

Welcome to the third message in this series on Cultivating Character through the book of Daniel.

In this message, Pastor Jonny shares with us about DEPENDANCE and how we can use the example of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego to encourage us to be fully and completely dependant on God.

When we are at our weakest, He is at His strongest. Why should we be fully reliant on God? Because it's all we can do!

Welcome to the second message in our new series, Cultivating Character looking at the book of Daniel. In this message, Pastor Dan explores what it means to have INTERGIRY, following the example of Daniel in Chapter 1. We are encouraged that INTERGRITY is more than an action or character trait, it is a full surrender to Jesus in everything we do - both in the snap decisions and the predetermined 'resolve' to not compromise.

Welcome to our EASTER SUNDAY service! He is risen!

A great message from Pastor Jonny with two parts: It Is Finished and Good News. We are reminded in this message that, whatever the mess we are in, whatever the mess we have been left with, whatever the mess we have made for ourselves, Jesus says, "IT IS FINISHED." He has dealt with it.

How do we know? Because Jesus didn't just die, He rose again as well! That's the good news!

In today's message, Mark shares about how we can BECOME LIKE JESUS. He tells us that we can only become like Jesus by BEING WITH JESUS and we must undergo refining to become more holy each day.

Welcome to this message by guest speaker, Pastor Dave Scholes. Dave is another Free Methodist pastor and speak to us this week on working through our own strength (vanity) versus beginning all we do with a fear of the Lord.

Pastor Dave brought this message from Psalms 127 and 128 in which we are challenged not to work in vanity but in a fear of the Lord - our work can either lead to the "bread of anxious toil" or God-given "fruits of our labour." We were encouraged to reassess our obedience to the Word of God in all we do.

Welcome to this standalone message on breaking free from addiction. In this episode, Pastor Jonny shares how we can be a transformational community for those struggling with substance misuse and explores why we abstain from illicit substances.

We heard that "it is for freedom that we are set free." We have not been given salvation and freedom only to be chained by addictions in our lives. We hope you find this helpful.

Are you struggling with addiction at the moment? Whether substances, alcohol, pornography, food, medication etc., we would love to hear from you, pray for you and offer you any support we can.

Welcome to the final episode in our Finance February series and in this message, Pastor Jonny explores why we need to live with margin in our finances: so that we can live on mission.

Pastor Jonny talked about the 'consumption assumption' - a concept where we assume that all our resources are there for our own benefit. Actually, we are blessed to be a blessing and the resources we are given are to benefit those around us.

We were asked the question: If you were God, would you trust you with His money?

Welcome to the first message in our annual February series: Finance February. Did you know that money was one of the top things Jesus spoke about in scriptures? Not because He thinks money is important but because He knows how important we think money is.

In this message, Pastor Jonny takes us through the three key biblical principles for 'Building Wealth.'

1) Earn money, 2) Don't waste money, 3) Build wealth.

Welcome to this week's message from Light and Life! In this message entitled "There Is More," Pastor Jonny Leech reminds us that God can deliver so much more than our wildest expectations and urged us to get out our clay jars because God can fill them and more!

We loved hearing that there is always more with God and being challenged to pray salvation over a specific person God has put on our hearts this year - let's pray for an opportunity to witness, to invite and to pray for someone.

God is good, He is faithful and in Him there is always more! What a way to close out our 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting in celebration.

Welcome to the next message in our January series, 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. We're so glad you're here!

In this message, we hear from the Free Methodist UK Prayer Leader, Pastor Esther Scholes, who explores what the Bible says about prayer and how we can bring some structure and focus to our prayer life. We were encouraged that, whilst we can't really pray 'incorrectly,' there are models and examples in the Bible which help us to grow and develop through our prayer.

Pastor Esther shares with us her current framework for prayer based around the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6. We are also encouraged that Christ displaces worry when we pray - what are your worries? What are the truths that you can replace the anxiety/worry with?

Let's live lives saturated in prayer and overflowing in gratitude to our God who loves us and cares for us.

We're looking forward to the next message in this series on fasting.

Welcome to the first message in our January series, beginning our 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. We're so glad you're here!

In this message, Pastor Jonny explored the 'Why?' of this season we have at the beginning of each year. He shared with us the story of Hannah and Samuel and talked about how Hannah, in her time of desperate need, got close to God, listened to Him and then, when she was granted her hearts desire, she dedicated that back to God.

Pastor Jonny demonstrated that we can use this next three weeks of prayer and fasting to get close to God, to listen to God and dedicate ourselves back to Him.

We were encouraged to journal, take notes, be actively engaged with what God is saying to us. We're looking forward to the next few messages in this series.

Welcome to the third message in our Christmas series, Come See Jesus. We're so glad you're here!

In this message, Pastor Chris spoke on JOY. He talked about how Jesus is our greatest example of living in the JOY of the Lord; he shared with us the JOY that we can experience through knowing Jesus - whatever the circumstances around us.

Ps Chris talked about the incredible JOY that it brings our God when we choose Him as Lord and Saviour of our lives and receive salvation. There is celebration in heaven when one person chooses to follow Jesus. There is such JOY in the eyes of our God when He looks upon us - we were reminded that the Bible says He rejoices over us with singing! What a beautiful image!

In this message, Pastor Stephen explored what the Bible says about PEACE and spoke on the peace of Jesus and the 'perfect peace' that is available to us as we fix our minds on Him. We were encouraged to step into the peace of Jesus through:

1) KNOWING Him

2) TRUSTING Him

3) BEING WITH Him

We were asked the question: are you trusting in Him? Is your mind fixed on Him? Or is it on the storm?

Remember to take time to just be with Jesus this week - no agenda, questions, Christmas wish-list... just be in the presence of Jesus and allow yourself to be filled with His peace.

Welcome to the first episode in a new series as we enter the build up to Christmas. Our new series is called Come See Jesus and in this message, Pastor Jonny speaks about Hope. He spoke about Hope being a person, and that person is Jesus. He said that hope is not based on circumstances but on the person of Jesus.

This is the final week of our series, Stories Jesus Told. In this episode, Pastor Jonny Leech shares on the story of The Rich Farmer. Following a move of the Spirit during our worship time, Pastor Jonny's message takes a slightly different angle and we are encouraged to:

1) Not worry about the future - God gives us new mercies every day so we should trust in Him day by day.

2) Be ready - either for Jesus coming again or calling us home. Are you ready for that? How are you helping others to be ready

3) Live a blessed life - our inheritance is in Jesus and when we live in His way, we don't need to worry, we will be ready when the time comes and we will experience His blessings.

Welcome to the fourth week and the next instalment in our series, Stories Jesus Told. In this episode, Pastor Stephen Baines shares on The Hidden Treasure and The Precious Pearl. Stephen highlighted that the people in these parables had to sell everything in order to inherit the treasure and focused in on the cost of being a disciple, or follower, of Jesus. We were encouraged to give everything over to God in our walk with Him, to trust that He has our best interests at heart and to follow the example of Jesus as we examine the cost. 

Stephen asked us the question, "Are you sold out for God or holding on to earthly things?" - are we giving God all of it or keeping some things behind for ourselves? 

It is only when we lose sight of the cost on Jesus to make a way for us to be back in right relationship with Him, that we feel the cost of discipleship for us is too high.

Welcome to the third week of our series, Stories Jesus Told. In this episode, our guest speaker from Light Church, Kirkham, Ps Holly Belshaw, talks to us about the Ten Silver Coins and encourages us that we have immense value to God. So much so that He will seach for us, diligently seeking a restored relationship with us. We are reminded that we need to be available to be found, trusting in God and believing that we are worth something, however we feel or however our past looks.

Welcome to the second week of our series, Stories Jesus Told. In this episode, Pastor Jonny talks to us about The House on the Rock and challenges us to question what we are building our lives on. We are reminded that there are true and false disciples - it's not simply enough to say that Jesus is Lord, we have to act like He is Lord; it's not enough to say that Jesus is Lord of our lives, we have to act it out too!

Pastor Jonny shows us how, when we look at what Jesus was saying just before the story of the House on the Rock, it takes it from a Sunday School tale, to a high impact statement Jesus makes on how we really should live our lives.

In a special one-off message, as part of our Spiritual Formation Weekend, Pastor Chris talks about how to recognise and steward a move of the Spirit in terms of our faith. We are given the example from 1 Samuel 14 of Jonathan and his armour bearer who placed their trust completely in God.

We are challenged to share testimonies and speak about what God is doing which in turn ignites faith in others and people around us feel empowered to trust in God too.

We hope that this message empowers you and encourages you to trust all the more in an amazing, trustworthy, faithful God who holds all things in His hands.

If you'd like more information on anything in this message or about us as a church family at Light and Life, please get in touch at info@lightandlifefm.com or through our social media pages.

Welcome to week one of our new series, Stories Jesus Told. In this episode, Pastor Jonny talks to us about the different types of sheep we might be in our journey with Jesus and how we can find our way home to the Good Shepherd. Also, we are reminded that Jesus is our Good Shepherd who persues us in love to guide us back to Him, whichever of these 'sheep-types' we are.

In the final message of our Building His Kingdom series, Pastor Jonny takes us through this great teaching on generosity. We are reminded that generosity is not something God wants from you, it's something He wants for you:

Generosity releases the power of greed in your life;

It releases us from the power of materialism;

It's good for our character - generosity isn't something we do, it's something we are;

We get to be part of building His kingdom when we give!

In this week's message, we are asked these questions: Where is your treasure? Where are you investing your heart? How can we be *bringing* Light and Life to the church, community and people around us?

The fourth episode in our series, Building His Kingdom, is Vision Sunday and we've been so excited to hear what word God has given us for this coming year. During this message, Pastor Jonny bring us the word 'SIMPLE' and encourages us to keep it simple in our lives and simple in our ministries at Light and Life. We feel called this year to a simple church structure with simple ministries, simply sharing the Good News in every way we can. Pastor Jonny explores how we do this through Hebrews 12. 

This week we are asked the question: What could my life truly look like, if I was fully immersed in God's purpose for me? We are created on purpose and for a purpose and we can't wait to see what God is going to do at Light and Life this year.

In the third episode of our Light and Life podcast, and the next in the series entitled 'Building His Kingdom,' Pastor Chris shares with us on 'The Kingdom is Unseen.' During this message we look at how the Holy Spirit can, and will if we allow it to, renew our heart, mind, soul and strength. Pastor Chris tells us that, if we want to build His kingdom here in the seen, we need Him to work in our unseen. The Holy Spirit does its work in us so that the kingdom can be built through us!

We are asked the question: What could our life look like if we yield to the Holy Spirit and give our lives over to God?

In this, the second episode of our Light and Life podcast, and the second in the series entitled 'Building His Kingdom,' Pastor Stephen explores the concept of 'The Kingdom is Seen.' During this message we are taken through the examples of the physical kingdom of God on earth and then in the book of James we are challenged to DO something about it. Pastor Stephen reminds us that our FAITH is completed when it leads to ACTION.

We are asked the question: How are we using His gifts, given to us, to build His kingdom here on earth?

In the first episode of our Light and Life podcast, Pastor Jonny begins a new series entitled 'Building His Kingdom' which takes us up to Vision Sunday at the end of September. In this message, Pastor Jonny tells us we are created in the image of God, therefore we are called to be builders - builders of the kingdom: builders of His kingdom.

How are we using His gifts, given to us, to build His kingdom here on earth?
