The Holy Spirit assures us that we are children of God: loved, secure, and destined for glory. Andrew explores how this happens in Romans 8, through the cries of the Spirit: of adoption, of hope, and of prayer.

What is the gift of prophecy and how are we to use the gift in the public gathering? In1 Cor Paul teaches us  both what prophesy is and how it is to be administered. In days when many people have abused the gift of prophecy and we can be sceptical, Paul’s exhortation to be a people who eagerly desire the gifts is an important one.

In this seminar, Andrew Wilson, our teaching pastor, shares some thoughts about the conflict in Israel and Gaza. With a focus on grounding our understanding in biblical principles, Andrew guides us through thoughtful ways to approach this subject. The seminar aims to equip us with the tools to think critically, pray with intention, and engage constructively with the ongoing situation. This session is designed to foster a deeper understanding and respectful dialogue, emphasising the importance of compassion and empathy in navigating such complex geopolitical issues.

Today we finish our Spirit Filled series by looking at the gift of languages, or tongues. What is the gift for? And how do we use it to build up ourselves, each other, and people who do not yet know Jesus?

Love and Languages | SPIRIT FILLED | Andrew Wilson | 1 Corinthians 14:1-28

This year we will be thinking about Christmas as the time when, as the hymn puts it, Heaven and Nature Sing. Andrew starts Advent by looking at the story of the Fall, and the curse that Jesus came to overcome: not just on human beings, but on creation as a whole.

Heaven and Nature Sing

Heaven and Nature Sing | HEAVEN AND NATURE SING | Andrew Wilson | Genesis 3:1-19

The story of the magi, the wise men, calls us to look up and see Jesus – there we will find joy. Let’s not look down and get lost in the things we have to do, buy and cook at Christmas time but instead let’s see Jesus and worship him today.

Look Up and Find Joy | HEAVEN AND NATURE SING | Hilary Dalziel | Matthew 2:1-12

Paul calls the church “a pillar and buttress of the truth”: a structure that supports and lifts high the gospel of Jesus Christ. In our generation that means a number of challenges – and a number of opportunities.

A Pillar and Buttress of Truth | STAND-ALONE | Andrew Wilson | 1 Timothy 3:1-16

Steve Tibbert, our Serior Pastor, starts our 21 Days of Prayer encouraging us to come boldly into God's presence as we start the new year in prayer and worship together as a church.

21 Days of Prayer

Boldly Come, Boldly Go | 21 DAYS OF PRAYER | Steve Tibbert | Luke 11

Prayer and fasting is much less common in our world than it was in first century Israel, but if anything it has become even more important. In today’s passage, Jesus teaches his disciples how to fast – not just from food, but from the spiritual pride and human praise that we often seek.

Prayer and Fasting  | 21 DAYS OF PRAYER | Andrew Wilson | Matthew 6:1-21

Why do so many non-Christian’s pray? How do we respond to unanswered prayer? What’s the relationship between faith and unbelief? All these themes are dealt with in this short story from Mark 9.

Help My Unbelief | 21 DAYS OF PRAYER | Joe Macnamara | Mark 9:14-29

In the final week of the series on pray, we will be looing at the relationship between prayer and worship. Paul demonstrates this as he prays for the church in Ephesians (Eph 3:14-21) ending with a time of worship and praise. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.

Prayer as Worship | 21 DAYS OF PRAYER | Farriea Fernandes | Ephesians 3:14-21

What does it mean to be a follower of Jesus? He makes it clear from the outset that it isn’t a passive thing but involves being caught up in his wonderful mission of reaching people. We see this in pattern in the way he calls the first disciples to follow him.

REACH

Fishing | REACH | Joe Macnamara | Matthew 4:18-22

Jesus often reached people by asking them questions. Andrew considers some from the start of John’s Gospel, and consider what they can teach us about reaching people today.

Asking | REACH | Andrew Wilson | John 1:35-51

Reaching people involves answering questions as well as asking them. In Acts 22, Paul gives an “apologetics masterclass” in how to answer, and there is lots that we can learn from him.

Answering | REACH | Andrew Wilson |

The early church thrived and multiplied through a band of emboldened disciples who sought to fulfill the Great Commission to fill the ends of the earth with the glory of God. But they were not always so bold, and in Sunday’s message Andy examines the transformation of Peter from a fearful wreck to a courageous proclaimer of the gospel.

Multiplication Mindset | REACH | Andy Floyd | Matthew 26:69-75

This week we will be looking at how eating together is one of the most effective and important ways to reach people for Jesus. It will require us to understand what it means to practice hospitality in our everyday lives. Jesus' example in Luke 5:27-32 emphasises the power of shared meals and connecting with others. Hospitality in the bible is defined as moving towards strangers (Hebrews 13:2). Hospitality extends to individual, church, and the world, offering a transformative remedy for the prevalent loneliness in the UK. We end by reflecting on The Lord's Supper, urging an understanding of God's hospitality as the main motive for extending hospitality to others.

Eating | REACH | Tex Chettiar | Luke 5

This Sunday, Hilary explores the crucial role of parenting in reaching the next generation, inspired by Psalm 145:1-21, especially on Mothers Day. We acknowledge the mixed emotions of the day and emphasise the influence of family and church in shaping our faith. We're reminded of the importance of passing faith to the next generation. Hilary highlights practical ways to make faith engaging and relevant for children, highlighting the joy of sharing God's love and the necessity of personal, authentic expressions of faith. It is important that everyone, not just parents, actively contribute to nurturing young people's faith, underpinned by God's grace and our collective responsibility.

Reaching the Next Generation | REACH | Hilary Dalziel | Psalm 145

How do we reach people for Jesus? We continue our reach series looking at demonstrating. Paul talks about how he both declared and demonstrated the gospel. What does it look like for us to do that? Romans 15 helps us to see it involves God's power in signs and wonders as well as showing mercy.

Demonstrating |  REACH | Joe Macnamara | Romans 15

In the final week of our Reach series, Andrew considers how we actually proclaim the gospel: what it is, why it’s good news, and how we show that it is good news.

Proclaiming | REACH | Andrew Wilson | 1 Corinthians 15

When the disciples heard the news that Jesus had risen from the dead, they reacted in two very different ways. Most of them dismissed it; Peter investigated it. Those two reactions to Easter Sunday are still being played out today.

Easter 2024

Easter Sunday | EASTER 2024 | Andrew Wilson | Luke 24

This week, we are looking at the resurrection appearances of Jesus to the women and the disciples in Matthew 28. We can identify with their responses which are filled with emotion: they are afraid yet filled with joy, worshipping Jesus yet some are doubting. Jesus calls them all to follow him and go into the nations, believing He has authority over all things and He is with them.

Stand Alone

Worshipping yet Doubting | STAND ALONE | Hilary Dalziel | Matthew 28

Over the last few weeks, we’ve looked at the significance of the death and resurrection of Jesus. We are often very familiar with the last supper, but this week we will be looking at the “first breakfast” in John 21. In this sermon we will look at how Jesus recommissions the disciples and what that means for them and then in turn what this looks like for us in 21st Century London.

The First Breakfast | STAND ALONE | Tex Chettiar | John 21

This week, Dimeji discusses the significance of Pentecost, recounting the events of Acts 2 where the disciples received the Holy Spirit. He highlights the unity and obedience of the disciples, emphasising their love for Jesus and expectation of his promises. We also explore how this relates this to contemporary unity within the church, stressing the importance of acceptance, understanding, and care for one another.

This week we have guest speaker Tim Morfin who is chief executive of TLG. TLG is a national Christian children's charity that helps churches to bring hope and a future to struggling children.

Today we start a new series on 1 Samuel, and we begin where the book does: with a young woman who cannot have children. Andrew shows how Hannah’s story, and particularly her prayer, applies at personal, national and global levels.
