We’re taking a few weeks as a church to focus on our three core values: Presence, Formation, and Mission. This week, Catherine Ishola (Sutton Service) teaches on Presence as our foundational value. We look at Ephesians 6 and our call to a life of unceasing prayer, to contending for a move of God’s Spirit in our time. This requires moving from prayer as obligation to orientation toward Jesus, from...

This week, Adnan (Mile End Service) looks at our value of ‘Formation’ as a church. Teaching from both Ephesians 4 and John 21, we look at how our journey of change happens in the context of church community, with the goal of maturing into people of Christlike love, for the sake of others.

This week at our Central service, David Stroud taught on our invitation to be continually filled with the Holy Spirit. Just as Jesus needed the Spirit for his life and mission, his followers need this power to witness and worship.

This week at our Stockwell service, Andy looks at our value of ‘Formation’ with a teaching from Luke 13. We see how formation is slow and happens in the ‘manure’ — the messy, imperfect context of church community. Embracing this uncomfortable reality is a journey to the cross, the secret to finding resurrection power and achieving lasting transformation through the local church.

This week at our Mile End service, Lou taught on our value of ‘Mission’ based on 2 Timothy 1:3-14. We look at our call to embrace our mission as disciples by sharing the Gospel with confidence over fear. We see how Paul urges Timothy to ‘fan into flame the gift of God’, allowing the Spirit to provide power, love, and self-discipline. Sharing faith requires courage and obedience, taking the long vi...

Concluding a nine-month series on Acts, this sermon calls the church to be "poured out for Christ, the lost, and the city." Drawing on the life of the Apostle Paul, the message emphasises that Jesus must be the starting point and goal. Paul's perseverance through suffering was fueled by his transformation and motivation by the crucified and risen Christ. The church is challenged to be a unified, h...

The sermon concludes the book of Acts, arguing its abrupt ending is a commission for believers to continue spreading the gospel and seeking city renewal. It urges Christians to finish the race by embracing three principles from Paul's life: following the path of Jesus through rigorous spiritual disciplines (formation), trusting the unstoppable power of the Gospel (mission), and knowing the intimat...

In a sermon based on Acts 28:30-31, the speaker, Ian, argues that the unhindered gospel flourishes through suffering and disappointment. He shares personal anecdotes, including his family’s move from the Philippines to London, to illustrate how God's presence and grace sustain believers. The message concludes by inviting the audience to continue the story of Acts, emphasizing that the gospel is a...

This sermon on Acts 11 and 13 examines the church in Antioch as a model for God's vision of a diverse and unified community. In a city deeply divided by ethnic and social barriers, early Christians, empowered by the Holy Spirit, broke down these walls to form a single, vibrant body. The speaker challenges the audience to participate in this mission by fostering awareness and relationships and comm...

This sermon, inspired by the church in Antioch from Acts 11 and 13, teaches that the gospel flourishes through scattering and persecution. The speaker, who has worked with Turkish communities, highlights Turkey as one of the world's largest unreached people groups. The sermon emphasizes that the church must embrace diversity and be generous and responsive to those in need, as seen in the Antioch c...

Drawing from Acts 28, the sermon highlights three key takeaways from Paul's time on Malta: the importance of showing kindness to those who are "shipwrecked," the development of character and perseverance through life's snakes and trials, and the responsibility to bring hope to others. Paul's actions—gathering wood, shaking off a snake, and healing the sick—show how serving God's purpose involves g...

In a sermon titled "Reflections on God's Closeness," Dan explains that God is not distant but is near and wants to be found. He outlines three core points: why we should seek God’s closeness (it’s available through Jesus, he is the greatest, and others need him), why we don’t always seek him (theological reasons, self-disqualification, and busyness), and what we can do to seek him (make time and s...

Preaching from Acts 26:12-32, Philipa Long explains that living a life rooted in Jesus will inevitably conflict with the world's cultural standards. She explores how Paul's unwavering hope in God's promises allowed him to face repeated suffering and injustice. The sermon encourages us to remain steadfast in the face of hardship, choosing to trust God's promises over the lies of the world, and to f...

Preaching from Acts 26:29, Lars reminds us that the quiet authority of Paul, even while in chains, comes from a deep inner peace and connection with God. He encourages Christians to pursue this authority by living with a childlike vulnerability, surrendering control, and giving their hearts to Jesus. This foundation allows God to work powerfully through us in our relationships and communities, sil...

This week, Catherine Ishola (Sutton Service) teaches from the story of Paul’s sea voyage in Acts 27. We look at how facing and responding to trials are necessary to deepen our faith, put our faith into practice, and point others to Jesus as our ultimate hope.

We explore how Paul was supernaturally transformed by the gospel, compelling him to share his faith with everyone, even his Roman oppressor.
