Wokingham Baptist Church online

This week, instead of our usual livestreamed service, we join together at 10.30am to share in worship as one whole Baptist family at the Baptist Assembly online. The aim is to have the largest Baptist worship service in living memory! 

The service includes the induction of the new Baptist Union of Great Britain President, and an address by the keynote speaker Shane Claiborne. You can watch it on YouTube here.

Parents please note that Shane's talk includes references to the realities of life in a more deprived urban area, including drugs and weapons.

Acts 1: 12-26

Questions for individuals and groups.

We look at what the group of Jesus’ followers did after He was taken from them, and before the Spirit was given. They gathered and prayed, and one man was chosen to replace Judas as an apostle. Do you have a sense of calling to serve God in a particular way?

Acts 1: 1-11

Questions for individuals and groups.

Jesus, the Rocket Man? Is this how you see the Ascension of Jesus? It’s a strange and bizarre event, how do we make sense of it and what does it mean for us today?

Acts 1: 1-8

Questions for individuals and groups to ponder.

Today we start our new series based on the book of Acts in the New Testament. Throughout this series we will be focussing on challenging, inspiring and intriguing stories found within the book's chapters, and exploring what it means to live as followers of Jesus filled with his Spirit.

John 1: 1-18

Today we’ll be exploring the power of presence.

Luke 24: 13-35

Questions for individuals and groups.

A week into the season of Easter, we explore the story of what happened to two people in their journey on the Road to Emmaus. We spend time considering the journey from grief to hope, and the journey many take to faith in Christ.

Luke 24: 1-8

We celebrate Easter Day with a service of baptism for Julie and Leo, livestreamed from the church at 10.30am.

Created entirely by Wokingham residents for Good Friday, this short film is a meditation on the person of Jesus, his crucifixion and its enduring meaning for our lives today. With drama and music, this film is striking, moving, yet full of hope. Watch and share with friends and family.

You are loved. No exceptions.

Mathew 21: 1 -16

Questions for individuals and groups.

Have you ever wondered why a good man like Jesus went from hero to zero in a matter of days? This week we look at the significance of Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey: what did this mean for people at the time, and what might it mean for us today? 

Lamentations 3: 18-26

Questions for individuals and groups.

One year on from the start of the first UK Covid lockdown we reflect on the past year, think back on what’s been significant for us, and consider what we’ve learned that we can take into the next 12 months.

1 Corinthians 12: 4-27

Questions for individuals and groups.

On Mothering Sunday we explore how we can make our work meaningful and fulfilling – whether it’s paid or unpaid – and how that’s good for our wellbeing.

John 8: 2-11

Questions for individuals and groups.

We take a look at how Jesus responds when confronted by a difficult situation, and think about how cultivating calm and stillness can help us let go of anxiety and enable us to think clearly and function well in times of stress.
