Pathway

Sacrifice and Hope

Would we have the courage to stand between an aggressor and their victim? To be prepared to die for them?

Running the Race

Running (and swimming and cycling) the race!

Faith - and challenge

Continuing our series on Paul's letter to the church in Rome.

Equality - God’s style

No matter what your history, no matter your background we are equal in God's sight: equally guilty - but equally forgiven under God's grace.

Law - and unity

Continuing our journey together through Paul's letter to the church in Rome, we look at what we have to learn about the law and about unity.

Casting A Vision

Alan Howe reviews the past year and paints a faith picture for the future of Chilwell parish. Note: 50Mb file.

Are we excited?

We can have a relationship with Jesus and it this makes our faith alive. But sometimes we are nearer to Jesus than other times - it does vary, not static.

Truth - or something similar

Paul had a great deal to say about what is true and what is false, and how to tell them apart.

Parish weekend 2005

Ian Mountford's talks from the 2005 parish weekend at Swanwick.

I am not ashamed!

Paul tells us that he is not "ashamed" of the gospel.

First Letter from Kev

Last week, we started our 2008 series of talks on Romans. In the all-age worship this morning, we wrote our own letters ... and in true Blue Peter style, here's one I prepared earlier ...

Roman Summer

A few days of sunshine, the clocks going forward - if it is not officially summer, then at least we are on British Summer Time here in Pathway! So what's in store as we look at Paul's letter to the church in Rome?

Back to the future

How do you build the House of God?

Who are … you?

Continuing the series of talks in the CSI:PW series - Kev asks "who are ... 3you?"

Who are you … James and John

How does what we do at church on a Sunday morning affect our day-to-day life?

Who are you … Mary Magdelene

Continuing our series of CSI:Pathway talks, Chris looks beyond the Hollywood myths that surround Mary, and tries to find the real Mary Magdelene.

Prayer and Care

Praying and caring go together - but how do we listen and show our love in practice?

The Road Ahead - 2008

Do you know where we are heading? Is the sat-nav system loaded with the destination? Is it the destination or the journey? In any case - what does God have to say?

How can we hear God's voice - and how can we be sure that we are hearing correctly?

Getting Ready - part 1

It is that time of the year again - and we need to get ready. Soon it will be too late to do the shopping, post the cards ...

Chilwell … goes large!

In this talk, Rev Alan Howe, vicar of Christ Church parish in Chilwell, Nottingham, outlines his vision for becoming a church at large!

Who are you … Simon Peter?

Simon Peter got out of the boat ... but what can we learn about him. Chris McBrien investigates...

The church that went litter picking

Having looked at worship for a few weeks - and talked about the way that worship is not just the things we do "inside church", we went out litter picking. Kev tells us about the impact that had a week later...

Who are you … Thomas

Is it fair to call Thomas "Doubting Thomas"? In any case, what do we know about him and his dealing with Jesus - let's take a forensic look at the evidence...

Who are you?

Who are you? Find out about some New Testament people and their relationship to God.

Worship … with all you strength

The end of a short series on Worship. What does it mean to worship with all our strength? And where does our strength come from?

Worship … with all your mind

We think a lot ... but how much of what we think about is actually worship?

Worship … with all your soul

Why do we sing the songs that we sing ... and is there a meaning beyond the words and the tune? Jo gives us an insight into how she plans the worship songs we use.

The Father: Ran to his Son.

In previous talks, we have looked at characters who ran ... but this time we look at the story of the father who ran to his son - a picture of how God wants us to be reconciled with Him.

Elijah: Ran for his Life!

There are times when we feel afraid, when we feel lonely. Perhaps that is because we don't recognise that we are not alone - and there is a difference between loneliness and solitude.

David: Ran to Battle

Not everyone who runs is running away from something!

Jonah: Feel the Fear!

A series of talks about people who ran starts with Jonah.

Running through September

Keep on Running! Some talks on Bible characters who ran.

Programme - Autumn 2007

This quarter we are following some themes:

September: Keep on running!

October: Worship - the key questions

November: Who are you?

Plans … not to cause us harm

The final part on our short series about God's plans for us. What does it mean when God tells us that His plans will not cause us harm?

Plans to prosper us

What does God mean when he says he has plans to prosper us? As we have seen in the news recently, our stuff can be washed away in seconds. We want prosperity that lasts forever

Protected: PCC away day July 2007

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

Following the plan

God has a plan for us. Sometimes it is not clear what the plan is, and sometimes we simply need to keep close to Him and trust that the plan is there. (See the full article for resource links)

July 2007

As we reach the end of the school term, and wind down for the summer, it is good to review God’s plans for us. In Jer 29:11 God tells us that He has plans for us, and over the next month we will look at what this means - for us, in Chilwell, in 2007 1 Jul: [...]

Five reasons why I give

Momentum 2007 - continuing providing resources to continue the parish mission in Chilwell

Race For Life

As a gesture of support for those who we know who are suffering with cancer currently 40 women from Pathway and Christchurch ran in the Race for Life in Nottingham on June 3rd this year. http://www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/PathwayChilwell Thanks - Binky Clark (and 39 other people!!)

Where the streets have no name

We will live in the presence of God and know unhindered fellowship with Him. I don't think our minds can fully comprehend that.

Grace

All of us experience God's general goodness - the sun shines on the good and the bad. But for Christians, we experience a special goodness through Jesus.

Peace on Earth

Jesus is speaking in an upper room about the great gift He is going to leave with people - "Peace I leave you; my peace I give you."

It’s a beautiful day!

God is in control - whatever trials we go through. Whatever comes our way, whatever battle rages in our head - we have a choice.

Yahweh

Inch by inch ... life by life...

Sometimes you can’t make it on your own

We continue our exploration of themes inspired by U2 lyrics from How to dismantle an atomic bomb. Right from the start of the Book of Genesis it is clear that we are not meant to be alone - that we need companionship and community. Jesus sent out the disciples in twos in Mark 6:7-13 because then people would not only see two Christians they would see a small Christian community.

Love and Peace (or else!)

What is an atomic bomb in our community? What is the thing that causes massive destruction? In Amble, Northumbria, it is a culture that has given up on God and a church that has given up. Maybe 200 people out of a community of 6000 people go to church on Sundays. Romans 2:4 [...]

Programme: April - June 2007

At Pathway we will be exploring some great themes during the spring/summer. Love, Peace, Heaven, Grace, Community to name just a few. Hopefully to help ease us into the summer feeling good.
