St Peter's Bury

Simon concludes our series, The Word on the Street, by reminding us of its key themes and prophetic invitation to make these things a living, not just geographic, reality. He draws the series together, focussing on Goshen, the place of Joseph's reconciliation with his family, abundant blessing from God, and protection amidst the plagues. He stirs us to pray and act that these things be true in Goshen today — join us!

Jason, one of our Curates, draws inspiration from the river Roch which runs near St Peter's, speaking about one of its possible meanings, rest. From Hebrews 4, he encourages us to view work and rest rightly, and to remember the freedom that God brings to his people. We can live from the starting point of his victory and provision - what a gift! — We pray that this helps you to live wholeheartedly for Jesus. Please get in touch if we can pray specifically for anything for you, or be of any oth

Simon, our Vicar, talks about the ways in which the Bible uses the term 'Zion' and encourages us to pray that it would a present reality in Bury, not just the name of a nearby road! Zion is about the worship of almighty God, and our making a home in him now and for ever. We pray that this would be true in you, and would love for you to pray that it would be more the case in Bury.

Abby - our new Curate - speaks about mission, spreading the good news about, and the kingdom of, Jesus. She links it to three local place names with similar resonances, Seedfield, Fishpool, and Whitefield, and encourages us to play our part. We're sure that Abby's stories, faith, and words here will inspire you. If they do, please think of a friend who might be blessed too, and forward it on to them!

Simon speaks from Genesis 31, where the concept of Mizpah is introduced during the story of the separating of Jacob and Laban. He shows how God is the one who sees all, and that should give us comfort and challenge. He reminds us of the ongoing bonds between those who are in Christ, and how God calls us to be watchful for the signs of his kingdom here and now. — Our hope is that you are blessed through this, and all our other, teaching. Let us know if that's been the case! Email: hello@stpet

Adrian draws on the Springs estate and area in Bury, linking it to the metaphor of springs of living water evident throughout Scripture. Drawing on revival history in Bury, he stirs us to believe for this spring to flow here again, as many turn to Jesus. — We don't think you'll be able to listen to this without being fired up! If you are, share it to spread the blessing.
