All Talks

This Easter Sunday, Jonny Elwyn (Stockwell Service) underscores the revolutionary truth of Christ’s resurrection – a historical moment that, if true, empowers us, and if false, means our faith is pointless and futile.

This Resurrection Sunday, Andy (Sutton Service) focusses on the parallels between Jesus’ resurrection (Jn 20-21) and the Eden story in Genesis. We see how the Apostle John portrays Jesus as continuing to write a story of redemption through his followers, who are commissioned to bring others out of darkness into renewed fellowship with God.

This week, we delve into the story of Stephen’s martyrdom in Acts, examining how his life and death illuminate the nature of true Christian faith. We explore how Stephen’s unwavering testimony points to a gospel that transcends all earthly concerns, and allows us to experience the power of the Holy Spirit to see the unseen Presence of Jesus, and to live boldly for him.

This week, Barry invites us to deeply consider the emotional journey of Jesus during his final week in Jerusalem, particularly his entry on Palm Sunday. We explore what stepping into ‘Jesus’s shoes’ reveals about his wide range of emotions, from frustration and anger to joy and compassion, and the weight of responsibility he carried. We’re invited to reflect on seemingly mundane tasks God might as...

This week, Nicky taught from Acts 16, exploring Paul’s journey and encounter with Lydia. We considered what it looks like to actively listen for God’s direction, and how hearing God is often interwoven with times of waiting.

This week, Philippa explored the concept of community from Acts, seeing how it forms our identity as people rooted in God’s triune being, covenantal commitment, and love.

In this sermon, Gill explores the concept of community by drawing parallels between the early church in Acts 2 and the close-knit family structures of biblical times. We reflect on the challenge to actively love, forgive, and be available to support one another, and how these principles should shape our understanding of church life.

Why do followers of Jesus become increasingly generous people? This week, Finyin (Central Service) explores this question by unpacking key truths about generosity found in Genesis, along with Jesus’ powerful teachings on money and possessions from Matthew 6.

God is calling us to rebuild and realign our lives with His presence and His kingdom. In this talk, we explore the prophetic call of Haggai, confronting apathy, tearing down idols, and responding to God’s promise of greater glory and peace for His house today.

This week, we kicked off our Generosity series as part of our annual Gift Day offering. Natalie teaches from Malachi 3 and explores how our sacrifical giving is indicative of our devotion to God and his presence.

This week, Kenny (Mile End service) teaches from Acts 16 on ways we can intentionally listen to God, and be attentive to the Spirit in our everyday lives.

David looks at the importance of building a resilient faith, and the role persecution has often played in that regard in the Bible and church history.

The table is set, and you’re invited! In this talk, Elizabeth looks at the call of Jesus to come as we are to feast at his table. She looks at how we come and how we get to prepare for others to come too. What did this look like for the early church in Acts and what does it look like for us today?

As we continue our Acts series, Seb opened up Acts 27 and explored what it's like to hear God's voice, and how this gift still stands for us today. Sharing from both the Scriptures and his personal experiences of hearing God, he invites us to grow in hearing God’s voice in our daily lives. 

Helen looks at the day of Pentecost, exploring who the Holy Spirit is and how we can be baptised in the Spirit receiving God’s gifts, power, and love to help ourselves and others! 

Acts 17:22-31 reveals that God doesn’t dwell in temples made by hands, but in us. This talk explores what it means to be living temples of God’s presence, and challenges us to live fully aware of our divine purpose as vessels of God’s Spirit.

This week, Lou starts our new teaching series on the book of Acts. We look at how the Ascension of Jesus shapes our encounter of God’s presence as a church, and our longing to see his kingdom in our world.

This week, Raph Arthur (Mile End service) looks at what it means for us to "lose our life" in order to experience God’s abundant life, as we follow the way of Jesus. Teaching from Mark 8, we see that fullness of life with Jesus is distinct and different from many narratives of the "good life" we absorb today, and is infinitely richer and worthwhile for us to pursue and surrender to.

Shaninga (Stockwell service) explores the importance of community as God’s design and heart for his people. Drawing from Genesis, Hebrews, and Acts, we see how embracing intentional connection reflects God’s love and strengthens us in our faith. The Bible reminds us that living in community brings healing, growth, and purpose. As we step into 2025, we’re challenged to commit to building relationsh...

For our first Sunday of 2025, Nicole continues on from her previous talk on John 21, this time focusing on the concept of 'follow' - an invitation to a long term commitment of following Jesus as disciples.

This week, Sam (Sutton service) begins our new series in the books of Acts. We explore how the Ascension of Jesus shapes the way we encounter God’s presence today, and engage with his mission in the world.

Helen concludes our ‘Walking with God’ series by looking at our destination as followers of Jesus. Looking at the book of Revelation, we see how knowing where we’re heading in the future helps change our lives and journey in the present.

This week Paige shares a Christmas reflection for our Mile End Carol Service. We look at Luke chapter 2, and God’s extraodinary promise of hope and joy for ordinary men and women.

Joel concludes our ‘Walking with God’ series by looking at our destination as followers of Jesus. Looking at the book of Revelation, we see how knowing where we’re heading in the future helps change our lives and journey in the present.

David shares some of the key lessons from his summer sabattical and in particular what he learnt from his father’s passing.
