Tyndale Baptist Church is made up of people from many different backgrounds and different parts of Yate and Chipping Sodbury, who enjoy a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Each member of the church has experienced God’s love and has come to discover in Jesus a new quality of life.
We believe the Bible to be the word of God, therefore true and meaningful to all generations and in all situations. We preach and teach the Bible, believing that through it, God speaks to us today.
Please come and join us at any of our services and to explore for yourself, the relevance of Christ in the 21st Century. We believe you will find the services meaningful - you’ll certainly be given a warm welcome.

Sunday: The best day of the week |

Written by Rev Bert Weenink

"If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath and from doing as you please on my holy day, if you call the Sabbath a delight and the LORD's holy day honourable, and if you honour it by not going your own way and not doing as you please or speaking idle words, then you will find your joy in the LORD, and I will cause you to ride on the heights of the land and to feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob." The mouth of the LORD has spoken. (Isaiah 58:13-14)
Just as the Saturday was (and still is) the special day for the Jews, so the Sunday has been the Christians’ special day ever since Jesus rose from the death on the first day of the week. Throughout church history Sunday has been the day when believers would come together to worship their Lord. It is also be right to say that throughout history the practice of meeting together has been under attack, as the enemy knows that there is such special power and blessing in the gathering of the people of God.
Today is a day when it seems to be increasingly difficult to get believers to be consistent in their church attendance. Family commitments, Sunday sport, the opening of shops and the pressure of jobs all contribute to this decline. To me, the worrying thing is, that these pressures are accompanied by a more relaxed and laidback attitude towards what believers should or shouldn’t do general, and on Sundays in particular.
Is going to church really that important? Does it make such a difference whether you are there or not? Listen to what God says.
