Churchcentral Birmingham: Talks

What do we do when the truth of God's word is not being lived out? When do we speak and when do we not? Lorrie looks at Galatians 2 to help us find the answers.

Chris opens a new series for Churchcentral North in the book of Galatians. Freedom in Jesus is our theme!

Becky helps to equip us in the 'how' of engaging in meaningful, loving, Jesus-like spiritual conversation with those who don't follow Jesus right now.

What difference do our prayers make? How does God respond when we call out to Him? We look at Psalm 18 before turning to prayer!

We get hints at the end of the chapter that Nehemiah's response isn't only going to be prayer...

Nehemiah calls on God to act out his fatherly responsibility for the people of God.

How do we engage when there's a gap between what God has said and what we see?

Our next prayer lesson is the danger of an arrogant spirit before God.

We see more from Nehemiah's prayer and how it can help us to pray in our lives too.

Why is sin so serious? How can we find joy and closeness to God when we grapple with so much sin in our lives? Psalm 51 has the answers!

Day 2 of the Week Of Prayer, we dive in and see one bitesize lesson to fuel our prayers.

As part of the Week Of Prayer at Churchcentral South, we're uploading a short episode of fuel to help us pray. Slightly longer in this episode, Rich sets the scene of the section of the Bible we'll be in - Nehemiah chapter 1 - and shows one bitesize lesson to put into practice.

We return to chapter 21, to meditate more on the imagery used for the church of Jesus. We see that the church is the pinnacle of the Revelation narrative, even outshining the new creation itself!

What do we do in times of despair and sorrow? How does God relate to us in those moments? Chris explores.

We land into the beautiful passages about the new creation at the end of time. We see some things that won't be there, and some things that will.

As Dave comes into eldership at Churchcentral North, what is eldership really all about? How does the Bible speak of those in leadership in the church? What does it mean for each of us in our lives today? Jonathan Bell, who leads our family of churches, came to North to share.

Evil has had many names and many faces in this book but in Revelation 20, evil is finally defeated! Amidst some pretty obscure details, Jonny shows us how the coming downfall of evil motivates us to persevere in our walk with Jesus.

Jonathan takes us back in to Revelation as we now walk towards the great crescendo of the book. In Revelation 19, we see what it really means to be on the right side of history.

We celebrate Resurrection Sunday! Jonathan helps us to explore the relevance of Jesus' rising from death.

Jesus has died. The Messiah lies in a tomb. What can we learn from this 'in between' day in the Easter narrative? How might it help us in our own Holy Saturday moments? Blake explores.

We begin a zoomed in, slowed down look at the central weekend in the Christian story. We start with Friday, and engaged with the story a little differently to normal...

'Babylon' is a big deal in Revelation and it's not a good place! But is 'fleeing' Babylon the only posture of the Christian in the world today? How do we flee while also serving and engaging our world?

Dave shows us the immense comfort there is for God's people by showing us the good news of Isaiah chapter 40.

Dave takes us further into the book of Isaiah to meet the God Isaiah knew and worshipped!

In a dramatic passage, we say goodbye to one of the major players in Revelation - Babylon. But as Babylon falls, we see two starkly different responses. What about you? Are you for or against Babylon?
