Serving Sheffield Since 2015
Easter morning 2019 was a riot of colour, family coming together, baptisms of believers and celebration songs. Our Minister Nick led our thoughts on “Resurrection Day”. Why is it so exceptional that Christians can say they are “one with Christ”? Why does the event of Easter change everything? Like Lauren Daigle sings, even if we feel like we’ve dug our own grave, there is always hope because: “He’s still rolling stones”.
Nick explores the reality of having oneness with Jesus Christ for followers of Him. This impacts our day to day, our mindset towards seeing His Kingdom come and is the on-going and eternal truth of salvation itself.
It was our privilege last night to host John Arnott and the Catch the Fire UK team. John shared stories of what it has been like to steward an unprecedented move of God’s power and presence around the world for the past 25 years. A fresh appreciation & experience of God’s love, healing, hope and purpose is shared by millions of Christian’s worldwide... and we got a share in it too.
Toby speaks about how important it is that we understand and live in interdependence, with other Christians as the body of Christ in the world. Disconnection is rife in this world, social media tries to reconnect people, but even better the church has the opportunity to follow Jesus’ model of being present, humble, listening to each other and our local communities.
Naomi bravely walks us through some of her experiences of facing disappointment, and still pressing into the goodness and hope of God in everyday life.

It’s been our pleasure to have great friends of The Well, Hugo & Hanneke van Driel, ministering and sharing with us this week. In this message from the Sunday evening gathering, Hanneke unpacks the biblical understanding and real-life application of surrendering all to Jesus.
Lots of us know that God wants us to live in joy, but what even is joy and what does that mean when life is tough? Ruth unpacks what it means to have joy even in the most difficult circumstances and gives some practical tools to help us process hard times in a healthy way, both emotionally and spiritually.
Long time friend of The Well Revd. Nick Crawley joins us to teach from Philippians chapter 4 on the practicalities of a mature, emotionally healthy church community. How do we settle disputes? What is a healthy rhythm of engaging with the bible and prayer? What are the foundations of living well in community?
All of us experience loss as we navigate life. As we experience any level of loss it is important to learn to grieve well. Grief is never something to get over but to walk through.
All through the scriptures we see biblical characters battle prayerfully with the emotions of loss and grief. As part of this talk Marjorie interviews Jo Mckinnis on the tragic death of her little boy a few years ago and how she has walked this journey with God.
Nick through exploring the book of Nehemiah presents a framework of God's desire to build, rebuild and grow both His kingdom and the physical space His people inhabit in worship and mission.
Charlotte explores how God's power meets us in our weakness. Our life journey will carry highs and lows, so how do we as followers of Jesus walk faithfully with authenticity and vulnerability?
If we’re honest disappointment is something we deal with on a daily basis, from the small to those big life disappointments and even disappointment with God and life itself. How do we walk through these disappointments in faith when all around us others can be getting the breakthroughs we want?
How do we find God and walk with Him through the valley of disappointment and find His hope and promise, even where it feels like all hope is lost?
Mary Wren takes a theological and professional healthcare approach to anxiety from a faith and medical perspective focusing on walking free from anxiety.
Sharing his own story in vulnerability and hope, Nick talks us through what it is like to experience emotional pain. Christians are never exempt from emotional pain, but they are best placed to be able to pass that pain onto Jesus' broad shoulders and find hope and healing through the tender presence and transforming power of God's Holy Spirit.
Marjorie introduces the Spring 2019 teaching series 'The Emotionally Healthy Church'. Looking at a good day and a bad day in Jesus' life, how did Jesus handle strong emotions? She challenges us to be honest with our emotions and submit our desires to God.
Tonight we baptised 3 young adults who are committed their lives and hearts to follow Jesus. What does that mean, why would somebody do that, and what is the act of baptism all about?
Politics is a key issue in our times. Brexit is on everybody’s lips (but not the subject of this talk!). How should Christians engage with politics wisely? What does the bible say about it? The biblical statement “Jesus is Lord” fundamentally influences our everyday interaction with faith and politics.
Nick Allan launches our Good to Grow campaign in January 2019. Short 10-minute talk introducing Phase 1 of our building redevelopment project and our target to raise £115,000.
