A Warm Welcome To Ashford Common Baptist Church (Sunbury)

I'm delighted to welcome you to our website. We are a small friendly church meeting in Sunbury. We come from a variety of backgrounds and welcome all who visit us, whether that's for our informal but heart-felt worship or to our home-based fellowship and bible study groups. We started in 1983 as a part of another local Baptist Church, but most of our members have no specific Baptist background when they join us.

Why not visit us soon, but in the meantime I hope our web-site will help you find out more about us.

The Character of False Religion

Chris continues to explore Colossians and draws attention to the character of false religion (verses 16-23) a) Special diets (v. 16) b) Rigid calendars (v. 16) c) Ritual humiliations (vv. 17, 23) d) Worshipping angels (v. 18) e) Imposing rules (v. 21)

Resistance fighters

Nigel encourages us to be Resistance Fighters against our spiritual enemy. We need to have resilience, conviction and a good leader. He cites some heroes from the past and to build a relationship with Jesus to allow Him to move in or lives.

Vive la Difference

David explores the scriptures to see that God made us in His image, but that we can celebrate the differences we have because we are One in Jesus

Agape Love

Farai gives a background to the true love as Jesus showed and asks what His example means for each of us

Forgiveness from Christ

Forgiveness from Christ (Cols 2:13-15), in particular - He cancels our debt (vv. 13-14) - He defeats our enemies (v. 15) So this section of Colossians is all about Jesus giving us Freedom, Fulness, Forgiveness. Last time we looked at Freedom, Fulness, so this time we will dwell on Forgiveness

Facing the Future - Daniel 2

David takes a look at Nebuchadnezzar's Dream, draws parallels with our situation as we look forward from 2020. God is our FUTURE HOPE for 2021 and beyond

Jesus brings Freedom, Fullness, Forgiveness

Chris shows that 1. Freedom through Christ (verse 8) • From Deceptive Philosophies • From Human Traditions • From Basic Principles • From Sin 2. Fullness in Christ (verses 9-12) • Who he is (vv. 9-10) • What it means (v. 10) • How it works (vv. 11-12) 3. Forgiveness from Christ (verses 13-15) • He cancels our debt (vv. 13-14) • He defeats our enemies (v. 15)

Scattered Servants

Terry takes a look at Acts 8 and considers the effect of scattering of the early disciples

Wonderful God of the Harvest

As we celebrate harvest, we think of our wonderful creator God who sustains His creation, including us. We ask what our role is in sustaining the world

The Holy Spirit Within

We praise the Father and Son but less often do we praise the Holy Spirit. It's the Spirit who enables us to praise, who puts power in us to changes us and is the seal of the promise of God. How close a friend is the Holy Spirit to us today?

Spiritual Warfare seen in Nehemiah (2 of 2)

This Sermon is the 2nd of two where we go through Nehemiah 6 and look at Nehemiah and Spiritual Warfare. This examines the 2nd two of the Four Attacks on him and sees how he successfully responds to them . Intimidation, Deception and Discouragement are weapons used to attack Nehemiah

Sharing Faith and Possessions

David takes us to Acts 4 and we see the amazing response to work of the Holy Spirit as the believers shared their faith and possessions. How does this influence us in the days of Coronavirus?

Habakkuk and Expectations

Nigel takes us on a whistle stop tour of Habakkuk to explore our expectations of church and God's expectations of us. We certainly get more when we put more in - pray before church and continue in prayer afterwards. Thumbnail courtesy of Walk Thru The Bible

Who will you follow?

Nigel takes examples from Daniel to ask 'Who will you follow?'' Our choice is down to who we listen to, God or others. The encouragement is to keep going with God's revealed plan for us and be strong to say NO to distracting other voices

Two kinds of Wisdom

Andrew Smith compares God's wisdom and our wisdom, using Daniel as his example

Don't be afraid of the mustard seed

Paul takes a look at Matthew 13 and links our thoughts to the smallness of Covid19 to the greatness of God who will hepl us overcome

Coronavirus and Christ

Saheb Borgall brings a message to our chuch from India
