Christ Church London Podcast

As a church, we're delighted to partner with Compassion in their work to bring lasting change for children living in poverty. This week, Rob from Compassion speaks to us about God's heart for compassion, justice, and mercy.

In this talk, Lou looks at Jesus’ last meal with his disciples before his death, and its powerful symbolism that points us to his future Kingdom.

In this talk, Joel explores the powerful and intimate prayer of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. What was Jesus asking for? And what was the will of the Father?

In this talk, Andy examines how followers of Jesus can navigate the dark night of the soul. He explores what prayer is primarily for, and how we find hope in the midst of dark times.

Natalie looks at the story of Jesus healing the ten lepers in Luke 17:11-19 and talks about the lessons learnt from the Samaritan leper on vulnerability, faith, and gratitude.

Gift Day

For our 2024 Gift Day, Adnan Khan looks at Jesus' teaching on Mammon from Luke 16:13. We unpack what Mammon is, how it opposes the abundant life God intends for us, and how our generosity as disciples resists Mammon's power.

For our 2024 Gift Day, Joel Wade unpacks the enigmatic parable known as the Shrewd Manager, and how stewardship and generosity are part of what it means to follow Jesus. 

For our 2024 Gift Day talk, Helen looks at the story of Elijah and the prophets of Baal, and how Elijah rebuilt the altar of God before pouring out a costly sacrifice upon it. We consider what is of worth to us, what we have bowed the knee to, and how we rebuild God's altar in our own lives while longing for Jesus to meet us through his Spirit with revival fire.

Kenny Crawford continues our series on the gospel of Luke, diving deeper into the parable of The Running Father, more famously known as the parable of The Prodigal Son; an exploration of the depth of God's love, the heart of grace, and an invitation to follow Jesus' example.

Catherine unpacks the story of the Ten Lepers, highlighting three key lessons we can learn: 1. A call to the marginalised, 2. A call to walk by faith, and 3. A call to have an attitude of gratitude.

Christ Church London is embarking upon a significant new chapter.

Last week we shared Part 1. This is part 2 of the conversation. To find out more about what's happening, head to christchurchlondon.org/new-...

Joel Wade continues through our series on Luke, unpacking the enigmatic parable known as the Shrewd Manager, and how stewardship and generosity are part of what it means to follow Jesus. 

In our series on the Gospel of Luke, Natalie Powell looks at Jesus' warnings about salvation in Luke 13:22-35 and explores what it means to "make every effort to enter through the narrow door" of God's kingdom. 

Joel Wade teaches from John's Gospel about Thomas and how Jesus' resurrection redeems our identities and lives. 

This week, we are reading from John’s Gospel, reminding us of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem while he was fully aware of his impending death. Yet in every step he takes to the cross, he takes in love for those he came to save.

In our series on Lent through Luke, Andy Tilsley looks at Jesus' story of the Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31), and explores our attitude to money, those in need, and our very real need for relationship with Jesus. 

In our series on Lent through Luke, Natan Mladin looks at Jesus’ encounter with Zacchaeus the tax collector, and how his call to follow Jesus brims into a life of generosity and gratitude.

In our series on Lent through Luke, Adnan Khan looks at how Jesus calls his disciples to pray with confidence and humility, believing that God is good in character and hears our prayers not due to our merit but his mercy.

This week, we are reading from the Book of Galatians which reminds us of our call to live in the freedom and fruitfulness of God’s Spirit. We are reminded that Jesus has freed us from the curse of sin, and with that freedom we can now serve one another with humility and love.

This week, we are reading from the words of John’s Gospel which remind us that Jesus is the ‘bread of life’, and that he alone has the ability to nourish us at the deepest level. It’s a reminder that our deepest hunger cannot be met by success or self-sufficiency. Nor can it be met by physical things because it’s a spiritual hunger for God.
