Acts 3-4 | Courageous Faith | Acts | Welcome Church, Woking

Sun, 10 May 2026 10:30:00 GMT

Steve took us through Acts 3 and 4, exploring what courageous faith looks like in everyday life. Through Peter and John’s example, we saw the courage to truly see people, to step out in faith, to speak up for Jesus, and to obey God even when it costs us something. But this wasn’t a call to try harder—it was an invitation to depend on the Holy Spirit and walk closely with Jesus. We were reminded that courageous faith is made possible by the Holy Spirit and a relationship with Jesus.

What did a church built by the gospel actually look like?

Christopher took us through the beautiful, messy, and miraculous reality of the early church in the book of Acts. It wasn't a museum piece—it was an invitation to move beyond just having information about God and instead step into the experience of His power.

Christopher continued our Easter Alive series looking at The Victory of the cross.

Reading through 1 Corinthians 15, we were reminded that the greatest battle has already been won through Jesus.

As we surrender to Him and join our lives to His, we share in that victory and live in the hope of what He has already won for us.

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 09:00:00 GMT

We had the joy of hearing Rachel Wilson share from Hebrews 12 and celebrating the gift of new life as we thanked God for 23 babies across our church family.

Rachel reminded us that life can feel like a race we didn’t train for, and no one is living a perfect “plan A” life. Yet we’re not alone—surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses and a church family cheering us on. As we fix our eyes on Jesus, we’re reminded that He is not just the finish line—He is the prize!

Devoted to Prayer | Vinu Paul | Welcome Church, Woking

Sun, 08 Mar 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Vinu brought an encouraging message on prayer, reminding us that prayer is not simply asking God for things but communing with Him as our Father. Looking at Daniel 9, we saw a model of prayer marked by humility, worship, confession, and a deep dependence on God’s mercy. We were challenged to move from passive, routine prayer to a fervent, God-centred life of prayer that seeks His kingdom and His glory. As we grow in intimacy with God and make prayer our first response, we can trust Him to move powerfully in our lives, our church, and our nation.

I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday | Christmas #1 | Welcome Church, Woking

Sun, 07 Dec 2025 11:00:00 GMT

Cassie concluded our Christmas #1 series by reflecting on the song “I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day” and pointing us to a deeper, lasting hope.

From Luke 2:22–35, we looked at Simeon’s song and his confident hope in a faithful, promise-keeping God. His hope wasn’t in a perfect season, but in the God who brings comfort and deliverance through Jesus. Christmas doesn’t meet us in an idealised moment, but in the real life we’re living. What we truly need isn’t Christmas every day, but Christ every day—the Light of the world who comes alongside us with compassion, power, and peace.

Last Christmas | Christmas #1 | Welcome Church, Woking

Sun, 30 Nov 2025 11:00:00 GMT

Christopher continued our Christmas #1 series by asking why “Last Christmas” connects with so many of us and who we can truly trust with our hearts.

We looked at Zechariah’s song in Luke 1:68–79, which reminds us that God saves, keeps His promises, and brings new life through Jesus. Unlike the fragile love in the song, God’s love never fails. Christmas invites us to trust Him afresh and respond to His unconditional love.

Steve kicked off our new series, Christmas #1! We began with Mary’s song in Luke 1:46–55, the Magnificat. Her worship turns Christmas upside down—reminding us it’s not about us striving to reach the top, but about God humbling Himself to come down and be with us. Grace and mercy aren’t earned; they’re received when we bow before Jesus, the true Christmas #1.

Mary’s song was written to magnify the Lord. How will you live that out this Christmas?

Why There's Enough For Everyone | True Religion

Sun, 19 Oct 2025 10:00:00 GMT

Christopher continued our True Religion series in Luke 12:13–34, exploring why there’s enough for everyone. He challenged us to see how we often live as if there isn’t—loving money too much to give, worrying too much to trust, and believing the lie that life is found in possessions. Jesus showed a better way: He made Himself poor, paid the greatest cost, and freely shared His riches with us. His generosity compels us to share what we have and use our resources for God’s kingdom.

From Luke 4:14–21, we see that Jesus’ mission was to bring good news for the poor—both practical and spiritual.

A Church Shaped By The Gospel | Romans 16 | Welcome Church, Woking

Sun, 31 Aug 2025 08:00:00 GMT

We had the joy of finishing our Romans series in chapter 16, looking at what it means to be a church shaped by the gospel. Paul closes his letter with a long list of greetings, but as we saw, it’s much more than end credits. It’s a picture of the gospel at work—bringing together men and women, Jew and Gentile, rich and poor, young and old—one diverse family in Christ. We were reminded that a gospel-shaped church is called to honour one another, guard against division, and ultimately bring glory to Jesus in everything we do. Romans begins and ends with the same truth: the gospel of Jesus is for all people, and it is this good news that shapes us into His family.

Steve reminded us that generosity isn't about how much we have, but about our heart's posture—it reveals what we truly trust and can become like a god to us. There is a journey of generosity that starts wherever we are and moves us toward extravagant giving, emphasising that generous giving is voluntary, sacrificial, and empowered by the Holy Spirit as a spiritual discipline we can grow in over time.
