Oxford Community Church

On Sunday, our guest speaker Steve Thomas spoke from Acts 1-2, showing how a church that follows the leading of the Holy Spirit will be a loving family, committed to serving Jesus, on mission to the ends of the earth.

What is God like? And how does he feel towards those who don't know him? In this talk from our child dedication service, Liam Thatcher looks at the parable of the lost sheep in Luke 15 and shows how Jesus reveals a God who pursues the lost, and gives his life to bring them home.

Jesus didn’t only teach about the Kingdom, he also demonstrated it by healing the sick and raising the dead. In this talk, Liam Thatcher considers how healing is a sign of God’s inbreaking kingdom, and a foretaste of his plan to make all things new.

The good news of Jesus isn’t individualistic and escapist, about us going off to heaven when we die. It’s so much more compelling than that! In this talk Steve looks at Jesus’ plan to rescue and restore all things, and his invitation for us to play our part in bringing his Kingdom.

Jesus told his disciples that the harvest was plentiful and he sent them out with authority to share the good news. In this talk, Ben looks at Jesus' instructions in Matthew 9–10 and considers four practical steps we can each take in seeking to be Good News People.

God is on a mission to reach this world with his love, and the good news is that we are his chosen means of doing so! In the second week of our series, Michelle looks at our call to be those who bring God’s blessing to the world around us.

We can often imagine that God is distant and disinterested, just waiting for us to find our way to him. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. In the first week of our new series, Liam looks at Acts 17 and considers six pieces of good news about God, which should cause us to share our faith with confidence.

On Sunday Steve continued to unpack our vision, looking at some of our hallmarks and considering what it looks like to be a community that is dependent on God and that seeks to learn in authentic relationship. 

On the first of our Vision Sundays, Steve Jones talked about our belief that we are made for more, and he called us to see ourselves as a sanctuary: a place of life, a place of refuge and a place of commission.
