Synopsis

Servant's Church is an independent, informal, Jesus-centred church made up of a diverse group of nationalities, ages, families, singles, students and professionals who learn together, worship together, pray together and even eat together! and wed love you to join us.Servant's Church is one of a worldwide network of over 1,000 Calvary Chapel Churches. These fellowships grew out of the 'Jesus movement' that began in California in the late 1960s. Calvary Chapel is not a denomination but a fellowship of churches who share in a common philosophy of ministry.Typical to most Calvary Chapel churches, is our simple, verse by verse teaching through whole books of the Bible. Our music is contemporary with some hymns and older choruses mixed in. Though we do not have formal membership we believe authentic, committed relationships are essential to demonstrating the good news of Jesus' life, death, resurrection and return. Following in His footsteps, we desire to serve God, serve one another and serve our city with His good news.We meet Sunday 10:30am@City Academy, Norwich299 Bluebell RoadNorwich, NorfolkNR4 7LP

    Evening Bible teaching by Evan Denison on the 30th August 2026. Why do we rebel against God? What is it that humankind just doesn’t seem to get?

    Bible teaching by Jonny Hall on the 30th August 2026.

  • “Our Hope above all Hope” Micah 7v8-20 [23rd Aug 2026]

    24/08/2026 Duration: 34min

    Bible teaching by Thomas Abbott on the 23rd August 2026. TEACHING NOTES: In Micah 7:8 we read: Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light. (NIV) That is Micah’s hope, both for Israel and for himself. Israel’s circumstances gave Micah little reason for hope. Instead, the concluding verses of Micah reveal that his hope was based entirely on the character of God - the God who pardons sin, delights in mercy and remains faithful to his promises. But what Micah could see only as a glimmer of light, we see fully revealed in Jesus Christ – our Hope above all hope.

    17/08/2026 Duration: 44min

    Main Idea: When everything around us seems to be falling apart, God calls us to see sin seriously, trust His justice, grieve what is broken, and ultimately look to Him for salvation. Bible teaching by Alex Vaca on the 16th August 2026. TEACHING NOTES: JUSTICE - God Sees What Others Don't (9-12) • “The voice of the LORD cries to the city…” - Micah 6:9 • God cares about what happens in everyday life-not only in worship, but in our work, money, relationships, business and integrity. JUDGMENT - We Eventually Reap What We Sow (13-16) • “Therefore I strike you… because of your sins.” - Micah 6:13 • God's judgment is not random. It is His righteous response to persistent rebellion. LAMENTATION - Grieve What Sin Destroys (1-6) • “Woe is me!” - Micah 7:1 • Micah does not celebrate the collapse of his society. • He grieves. • God's people should never enjoy watching people destroy themselves.

    Evening Bible teaching by Sammy Arthur on the 9th August 2026. TEACHING NOTES: Have you every wondered when reading about Jesus turning water into wine: Why Cana? Why Wine? Why a wedding?

  • “Peace for the Doubting Heart” John 20v29 [9th Aug 2026]

Blessed Are Those Who Believe Without Seeing- John 20:29–31 • Future believers would know Christ through Scripture. • John's Gospel was written to produce faith. Fight Doubt with Faith- Romans 10:17 /2 Corinthians 5:7 • Faith grows through God's Word. • We walk by faith, not by sight. • God's promises are stronger than our feelings. Trust God When You Don't

    Evening Bible teaching by Alex Vaca on the 2nd August 2026. TEACHING NOTES: 1. God is Good • God's goodness is not just something He does; it is who He is. • Everything God does flows from His perfect character. • Key Verse: Psalm 119:68 – "You are good and do good." 2. What Does "Taste" Mean? • Hebrew: ṭāʿam – to experience, try, or know personally. • God invites us to experience His goodness, not merely know about it. • Christianity is more than information- it is a relationship. 3.

How Do We Taste God's Goodness? • Trust His Word. • Obey Him even when it is difficult. • Pray and depend on Him. • Run to Him in every circumstance and receive His grace through Jesus Christ. 5.

  • "Strength" 2 Corinthians 4 [19th July 2026]

    21/07/2026 Duration: 22min

    Evening Bible teaching by Evan Denison on the 19th July 2026. TEACHING NOTES It’s never nice to feel weak. So often, what we want instead to be is STRONG: mighty, brave, faithful. Sometimes, we spend so long trying to be strong that it leaves us feeling weaker than we did before. So ,how does God do it? How does God make us strong? Let’s reflect on this idea together, with 2 Corinthians 4 as our lens.

  • “From Idols to the King” Micha 5v7-15 [19th July 2026]

    21/07/2026 Duration: 43min

    Bible teaching by Alex Vaca on the 19th July 2026. TEACHING NOTES Main Idea: God does not simply save His people from their enemies; He saves His people from their idols and teaches them to trust the King alone. Micah 5:7 - Like Dew from the Lord God promises that the remnant of Jacob will become a blessing among the nations, like refreshing dew and rain. Micah 5:8-9 - Like a Lion Among the Nations The picture changes from gentle dew to a powerful lion. God's restored people will no longer be helpless before their enemies. God's people can be gentle without being weak and courageous without being cruel. Our confidence comes from our King. Micah 5:10-11 - God Removes False Security God promises to remove Israel's horses, chariots, cities, and strongholds- the things they were tempted to trust instead of Him. Good things become idols when they replace God as the source of our security. Micah 5:12 - God Removes Counterfeit Spirituality Astrology, tarot, mediums, spirit guides, occult practices, and New Age

  • "From Babylon to Bethlehem" Micah 5v2-6 [12th July 2026]

    13/07/2026 Duration: 48min

    Bible teaching by Alex Vaca on the 12th July 2026. TEACHING NOTES Micah 5:2, "But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah..." • God often works through what the world considers insignificant. • God answers the failure of human leaders by sending His own King. • The Messiah comes from David's hometown, fulfilling God's covenant. • Jesus did not begin in Bethlehem; He is the eternal Son of God. Micah 5:3, "Therefore He shall give them up until..." • God's discipline is real, but it always has a purpose. • The word "until" reminds us that suffering has an end. • God preserves a remnant and fulfils His promises. Micah 5:4, "He shall stand and shepherd His flock..." • Jesus is the Shepherd-King. • He leads with God's strength, not human power. • True security is found in the presence of the Shepherd. • Christ's kingdom extends to the ends of the earth. Micah 5:5, "And He shall be their peace..." • Jesus does not merely bring peace- He is our peace. • The presence of enemies does not mean the absence of God's peac

  • “From Exile to the Kingdom” Micah 4:6-5:1 [28th June 2026]

  • “The Lord’s Prayer: Your Kingdom Come” [21st June 2026]

  • “Peace Under God’s Reign” Micah 4v1-5 [21st June 2026]

    22/06/2026 Duration: 37min

    Bible teaching by Thomas Abbott on the 21st June 2026. TEACHING NOTES Micah 4:1–5 gives us one of the Bible’s great visions of peace: nations streaming to the mountain of the Lord, weapons transformed into farming tools, and every person sitting safely under their own vine and fig tree… But this peace does not come through human will, political idealism or clever diplomacy. It comes because God reigns. After the judgment of Micah 3, where Zion is reduced to rubble, chapter 4 opens in stark contrast with astonishing hope: the judged mountain will one day be exalted above all other mountains. God will teach the nations, judge rightly, settle disputes and remove fear forever. As born-again followers with His in-dwelling spirit, we see this vision centred on Jesus Christ, the Judge who was judged in our place. By his death and resurrection, peace with God has begun, and when he returns, Micah’s prophecy will be fully realised!

  • “From Sinai to Nebo” [14th June 2026]

    17/06/2026 Duration: 32min

    Evening Bible teaching by Alex Vaca on the 14th June 2026. Exodus 34:29-35; Deuteronomy 34 TEACHING NOTES: Main Theme The greatness of Moses was not his leadership, miracles, or achievements, but his relationship with God. Exodus 34: Moses comes down from Sinai with a shining face. Deuteronomy 34: Moses climbs Mount Nebo and dies in the presence of God. Between these two mountains stands a life devoted to walking with God. Key Verse "No prophet has arisen in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face." (Deuteronomy 34:10) Moses stood on two mountains. At Sinai his face shone. At Nebo his body rested. Between those mountains was a lifetime of walking with God. His shining face revealed the secret of his life. His hidden grave revealed the humility of his legacy. The greatest thing that can be said of any believer is not that they were successful, gifted, or influential. But that they walked with God.
