Churchcentral Birmingham: Talks

Owen unpacks the whole theme of 'rejoicing'. Given our present circumstances, this is a timely message from Owen and from the heart of God.

As we celebrate and welcome seven new members of our church family, Rich speaks into the theme of 'Legacy'. We learn from three phenomenal women whose courage and ingenuity can inspire us, whatever our context.

What is our future as Christians? And how does that impact us in the present? Steve explores.

Learning from the model of Paul, Silas and Timothy when they were in Thessalonica, Jonathan shows us three leadership perspectives we're to have, whatever the sphere of our leadership.

How do we grow in our relationship with Jesus? How do we walk knowing Him closely in our lives? Michael explores in Philippians chapter 3.

Do you know the call on your life? Like the Thessalonians, we are called to grow into examples in the church. Rich explores how that can happen, and what it might look like.

Following Christ's example sounds great in theory, but what does it look like in practice? Jonathan shows us two characters who did this brilliantly, and shows us how to follow in their footsteps.

We can all lack motivation when our work or calling gets hard. Jonathan shows us from Paul's favoured trio of faith, hope and love, how we can be truly motivated to work for the glory of God and the good of others.

Jonathan kicks off a brand new series 'Keep Going' at North & South, by giving us an introduction to 1 Thessalonians. We see how their story relates to ours, and zoom in to see quick lessons about navigating these challenging times.

Owen takes us into one of the central passages of Philippians, a beautiful song from the early church about the amazing example of Jesus. We then see how we in our lives can imitate the life and attitude of Christ.

Rich zooms in on Paul's command to live lives worthy of the gospel, and urges us to see to it that our lives line up with the good news of Jesus.

Jonny explores the theme of 'transition' in the Bible, exploring how we deal with transitions in our lives, in our world and ultimately, how God calls us to the greatest transition of all.

We were thrilled to welcome Tope Koleoso, lead Pastor of Jubilee Church London, to speak to us as the whole Churchcentral family. Tope spoke to us about how to thrive in the face of 'Jerichos' in our lives.

With the various trials we are going through, is joy really possible? How do we find it? Jonathan explores.

Rich explores the importance of church culture, and calls us to give ourselves afresh to creating a culture of encouragement and love in South.

If we want to make an influence 'out there', first God needs to work on us 'in here', in the hidden setting of our homes and our households. Jonny unpacks the importance of this and calls each of us, whatever our living situation, to serve the Lord at home.

As the New Year began, Jonathan showed us four calls from God for the coming year, and urged us to be the community Jesus has called us to be, for the good of our city in this time of crisis.

At CC West, Pete helped us explore Paul's priorities and passions as a follower of Jesus. We saw that no matter what's going on in our lives, we can know God, and God can be known through us.

The year at CC West started with Rich taking us through Psalm 23, and looking at three invitations God has for us within the fog of 2021.

Jonathan shows us God's heart for partnership in the church, and shows us five signs of true gospel partnership for us to grow in.

Owen kicks off the new series at West in Philippians. We see some of the amazing story of the Philippian church and even just in two verses, begin to see something of the amazing message of this letter.

We end our 7-month walk through the Sermon On The Mount by listening to the familiar story of the wise and foolish builders. But what does this story really mean? And how can be those who build well? Jonathan explores. From South 27th November, and West 13th December.

In a world of so many voices, how we discern which voices are to be listened to? How do we know which leaders and authorities to trust and follow? And how can we be trustworthy and life-giving with our own words? Jonathan explores. From South 22nd November, and West 6th December.

All our lives are a journey heading to one of two destinations. Jesus lays out the choice, and invites us to settle our allegiance. From South on 15th November, and West on 29th November.

In this final episode, Calvin gives some insights into how as local churches and individuals we can begin to take action that makes a difference in the area of racial justice.
