In John 18:28-40 Jesus stands before two very different kinds of powers. Religious leaders and Pilate Roman political leader. Both face the same challenge: what will they do when Jesus threatens something they are determined to protect. Are we willing to let Jesus challenge the things we use to make ourselves feel safe, secure and right. The things we reach for in everyday life to protect ourselve...

What if the shame you’re carrying isn’t yours to carry anymore? Why do we keep living under the shadow of past failures, fear and condemnation? And what if Jesus offers us something radically different? Through the story of a woman publicly shamed, we discover a Jesus who meets our worst moments with mercy, breaks the power of condemnation, and invites us into a new way of living.

The heart of the passage is around the identity of Jesus and his relationship with the Father, and what it means to be the children of God.

We’re all longing for a sense of belonging, meaning, and eternal hope – and that ‘thirst’ can only be truly, completely, and wholly met in the person of Jesus.

From the story of the most famous doubter Thomas God has important things to teach us about our own doubts (uncertainty/unbelief), Jesus is not intimidated by them and knows how to reach us.

What happens when Jesus takes us beyond what we already know, understand or believe about God? Nicodemus was intelligent, educated, religious and convinced he had things figured out — yet his encounter with Jesus left him completely confused. Jesus invites him beyond information, performance and certainty, into something he cannot produce for himself: new life by the Spirit. Maybe faith has become...

Initially prejudiced and dismissive, Nathanael encounters Jesus, who sees his true character. This personal reveal instantly transforms him from a skeptic into a devoted believer.

Our mission as a local church flows from God’s mission. Our mission to SE18, to the borough of Greenwich, isn’t something we started. It’s a mission we stepped into. So the invitation is to ask “God, what are you doing and how can I join you?”

Matthew 11:28-30 is the only place in four gospels where Jesus tells us in his own words about his own heart. This talk is an invitation to listen to Jesus describe himself. If we really believe what he says about himself, it changes the way we come to him, what we expect from him, ultimately the way we live with him.

Have you ever noticed that nothing drifts in the right direction? Everything precious and valuable requires continual attention. And our hearts are no different. 15 years after Israel’s great renewal, they had wept, they worshipped. They renewed their promises. There had dedicated of their relationships, their time and their money. Nehemiah returns and asks one devastating question: “Why is the ho...

Giving time to make much of God through worship and celebration. (Nehemiah 12:27-47)

Nehemiah 10 Looks at how Building our lives around God shapes the very ordinary stuff of life. Marriage. Relationship/friendships, Business. Shopping. Work. Money. Giving. Schedules. Rest.

In this powerful message from Luke 5, guest speaker Alan Cass explores the moment Jesus steps into Simon Peter’s boat and reveals a life-changing truth: God often does His greatest work in our lowest moments. The miracle wasn’t really about the fish—it was about surrender, obedience, and discovering what happens when we place what we have into Jesus’ hands.

How do God’s people lose their joy … and how do we experience its renewal? Nehemiah 8 gives us the surprising answer. Not by discovering something NEW, fresh and exciting, but remembering what’s been forgotten.

Ways to engage with the Bible. There is no one size fits all. Memorisation, creative engagement, journaling, lectio divina…

Nehemiah teaches how to resist things that try to get us to come down off the wall. We see Three ESCALATING attacks to get him to come down. Attacks on HIS Attention - Confidence - Obedience.

If a person has grasped the meaning of God’s grace in his heart, he will do justice. If he doesn’t live justly, then he may say with his lips that he is grateful for God’s grace, but in his heart he is far from him. If he doesn’t care about the poor, it reveals that at best he doesn’t understand the grace he has experienced, and at worst he has not really encountered the saving mercy of God. Grace...

Nehemiah said yes to God and resistance appears. Not because he missed God’s will, but because he was doing it. The wall is finally going up, progress is being made, but the moment the work advances, opposition intensifies. Yet Nehemiah remains resilient and faithful in the face of resistance and fear

What if the very thing you see as your weakness is where God wants to display His power? In this powerful message, Andy Tilsley shares the story of Christ Church London’s journey, a vision for seeing God’s kingdom spread across the city, and a timeless truth from 2 Corinthians 12:9: “My power is made perfect in weakness.” Drawing from the church in Corinth, modern church culture, and inspiring sto...

Vision starts in a leaders heart, but renewal happens when people say, “yes Let's do this!”

Nehemiah 31) Nehemiah 1:1-11 This chapter looks at the state of the people of God. They are in exile, seemingly defeated. The walls are broken and the gate is burned (v3). Nehemiah is emotionally moved by the state of God’s people (v4) but instead of resigning himself to pessimism, he confesses the weaknesses of the past (v6-7) and trusts in God’s promises (v5-6, 8-11).

Pentecost - the day on which the Long-promised Holy Spirit - birthed the church and launched her on the mission of God. We are not just born again by the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:9). We are also strongly invited into an ongoing life of being filled with the Spirit.

Paul is saying there are two ways to live: One is built on boasting about building a case for ourselves. One is build on the liberty that comes from receiving what Christ has already done for you. The gospel is about receiving a new identity/free life through the Cross of Christ.

In farming and gardening you reap what you sow it’s just reality. No one plants tomato seeds and expects corn. Paul is saying life with God works like that too. Our choices matter.
