Churchcentral Birmingham: Talks

An amazing passage of Scripture that is mostly a prayer to God for the church in Ephesus. What can we learn today? Dave shows us.

How great a transformation is available for all who believe in Jesus! We see the greatest rags to riches story can be ours through him.

We love a mystery. The gospel of Jesus IS the greatest mystery ever, but now it's been revealed and we can get in on it!

What happens to a person when they become a Christian? Through the famous story of the woman caught in adultery, we see four things that mean her story can be our story, if we put our faith in Christ.

If we side with Jesus, we're offered living water. John tells us this by referencing some Old Testament stories, which we discover are all fulfilled in Christ, the one who truly gives us living water.

In the midst of a catalogue of errors from those speaking with Jesus, we see the crucial need to see beyond appearances, under the surface, and consider the reality of God in all things.

Zoe helps us explore the power of sin and the power of salvation!

We follow a story of a crazy bunch of 'imposters', and what we can learn from it for today.

What does living water look like for us today? James helps us understand.

Chris kicks off a new series in the letter to the Ephesians. We see that God's amazing blessings are the best fuel for us as a church and as individuals.

Behind every action we do 'for God', are important invisible questions. Why are we doing it? When is the right timing? How should we go about it? Honing in particularly on leaders, Rich explains why the motives, moment and methods are crucial to keep us doing Jesus' stuff in a Jesus way.

Last words reveal so much about a person's deepest heart! Here we explore the final words of the great leader Joshua, and see what his deepest heart message is for God's people.

Jonny shares phenomenally honestly about his own experiences of doubt, including a crisis of faith in recent years. What do we do when we experience huge doubts in our walk with God? This passage and Jonny's story are sent to help us!

Jesus spends a lot of his teaching time in the gospels focussing on the subtle but crucial difference between a true follower and a false follower. This passage is one such place. What's the difference? How do we test ourselves to check our discipleship is genuine?

The words in this passage are reassuring, but also controversial and complex. It's great that the Father draws people to Jesus, but why does He not draw everyone? Jonathan takes a look.

We don't have the privilege of seeing Jesus physically (just yet), but we're told in this passage about the importance of seeing him. What does this mean for us? And what does believing in Him really look like for us today?

Where do you go with your soul ache? Jesus explains that He's like bread, uniquely able to meet our needs, whatever they may be.

Jesus does some terrifying stuff in this passage, feeding people with miraculous power and even walking on water. Is the disciples resulting fear something we should also experience? Or should our fears be comforted by knowing Jesus?

The Israelites are at the bank of the River Jordan. What happens next teaches us so much about God, and ourselves, and what it means to step forward in faith.

What sort of church is God looking to build for Birmingham in 2024? Owen helps us by showing us some core Christian teachings - around being sent, and around moving to the margins.

Doreen shares about the amazing story of Rahab, and how she shows us so much of the gracious, saving power of God.

Aaron has cultivated this prayer walk session beautifully! It leads us through both a devotional time with Jesus as we walk, and a time of interceding for our area. Use it in a moment of walking around your neighbourhood. If 37 mins is too long a walk for you, use the first 14 minutes as a devotional, then head out to your 'neighbourhood' for intercession! Isaiah 62 is referred to, if you want to...

Verena uses a cycle of Scripture, reflection and space to pray, to help us engage with God in different circles. Starting with ourselves, we then gradually zoom out to pray for those we live with, those who live or work near us and finally for our whole city.

Beth leads us through a psalm, pausing to pray over from each verse. A great example of how to worship, confess, intercede & thank, all sparked by simply reading a psalm...

Christians have long used A.C.T.S as an acronymn to be guided through a time of prayer. Jummy takes us through each point, giving a verse to inspire us and then leaving lots of space for us to engage in Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication...
