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.

Free to be a different person. PART 2

Free to be a different person Part 1

What does the FREE life of the sons/daughters of God look like? How does the gospel transform how people relate to one another? What kind of people does freedom create.

We are set free to live free. We’ve been set free not just from something, but for a whole new way of living. “For freedom Christ freed you.”

TWO COVENANTS: LAW OR GRACE - WHICH ONE DO YOU LIVE BY?

CCK is in process of exploring being part of the Christ Church London Family. CCL is a church family that is ONE church in four London locations. (Central, Mile End, Stockwell, and Sutton). We would continue to be a local service. With the many strengthening benefits Being part of a bigger family. 

The work of the Son and the Spirit go together. The Spirit makes adoption felt. Adoption becomes personally real through the Spirit.

What mothers reveal about the nature of God's love, care, and attention.

These verses express the high point of the gospel, our sonship/spiritual adoption the pinnacle of the good newsThe church is to relate on the basis of our ONENESS. Categories that were previously uncrossable, created barriers, walls, cultural divisions have in Christ been torn down, a revolutionary dismantling.

The Purpose of the Law (Galatians 3:19-25)

It is common to start the Christian life simply believing. Looking only at Jesus. Then as we go on to look within ourselves at our own human effort. Following conditions and requirements to get somewhere with God or get something from God. That drift is what Paul is countering.

The gospel is not just about a legal thing, a not guilty verdict. It’s the doorway into a Spirit filled, Spirit led, Spirit sustained, Spirit empowered life. There’s a beautiful experiential dimension.

The heart is a complex thing. We can agree with the truth, sing about the truth, even teach the truth — and still, when fear creeps in, reach for rules instead of trusting the gospel that God loves me. We often think legalism is just insecurity between us and God. Galatians 2 shows that our relationships with people reveal places where the gospel is believed but not yet fully trusted.

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free

Rife within so many church cultures, false humility robs us of the confidence of 'God in us' that the world needs. In this latest episode of the Free To Be podcast, Jamie and Pete draw on scripture, personal experiences in church and parallels with Pete's background as a doctor to highlight the importance of authentic humility.

Imagine if our unity could ACTUALLY be heard? Right now, in SE18. One Accord. Complete harmony. It’s like an orchestra. Different instruments, different sounds, yet unified.
