Grace Church Brockley

The Bible tells us not to judge... or does it? Join us as we continue our series in the Sermon on the Mount as Tobias Brown opens up what Jesus teaches us on rightful judgment and what that looks like for us as gospel grace filled believers today.

In the Lord's prayer, Jesus encourages us to come to God for our daily needs. But is there a danger that we can quickly neglect this and instead trust in ourselves? As we continue looking at the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew's Gospel; Glen encourages us to listen to Jesus' words on wordlly wealth and the worry that brings as opposed to trusting in God and seeking his kingdom first. An...

How would you describe yourself? Do you think of your ethnicity? Your career? Your personality? Or even your views? As we think about who we are, Jesus speaks out against those who would like others to see themselves as they would like to be. Join us as Glen opens up Matthew chapter 6 to explore Jesus' teaching on identity before others and why God wants us to know him first before we can trul...

After dealing with the issue of lying and integrity, Jesus nows turns to deal with another issue we wrestle with. How do we deal with anger and hate that comes from our hearts? Join us as Tobias continues teaching lessons from the Sermon on the Mount as we consider how we are to love in righteousness.

As we continue in our series on Matthew's Gospel, we return to the Sermon on the Mount as Jesus now turns to speaking about the truth. Why is it important that we speak the truth? Does it really matter if we tell a small white lie? And why truth is important in the kingdom of heaven.

It's impossible to be righteous without being authentic. And as we continue looking at the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew's Gospel, Tobias shows us how Jesus calls his followers to live with transformed hearts and attitudes that are reflected in our character, behaviour and moral integrity towards God and each other.

What does it mean to make a real difference in the world today? As Christians, we can feel overwhelmed at what we think is an impossible task. But as we continue listening to Jesus' words in the sermon on the mount; Tobias reminds us of the impact that we can make as Salt and Light in the world. Join us as we seek to understand our role in the kingdom today.

Many people have their own idea of what it means to be truly blessed. But many of those ideas are temporal and can quickly fade away as soon as circumstances change or when tragedy hits hard. But as we begin to look at Matthew 5, GCB member Al Gibbs shows us how Jesus' opening words in his most famous sermon helps us understand what it means to be truly blessed in being part of the Kingdom of...

As Jesus begins his earthly ministry, he performs some extraordinary actions. But more importantly, he proclaims a message of repentance to all who will hear. As we continue looking through our series in Matthew's Gospel, Assistant Minister Glen Burns shows us in chapter 4 how Jesus' ministry offers an insight into the bigger picture of the Kingdom of Heaven and what we can anticipate as w...

We can be quick to write off reasons why we wouldn't want to follow Jesus, and instead try to do things our own way. But as Tobias takes us to Matthew chapter 4, we see how through the experience in the wilderness with Satan, Jesus is more than worthy of us offering him our full allegiance.

John the Baptist was sent by God to proclaim the long awaited arrival of the Kingdom of heaven. But many were surprises to see the coming fulfilled by a man from Nazareth. Who is this man? And why does this man matter? Join us as GCB elder Simon Abrams shows us in Matthew 3 how Jesus is the long awaited King whom the prophets predicted to bring the Kingdom of heaven to earth.

The birth of Jesus was a low key event despite his kingly status. But as we come to the narrative of his birth in Matthew's Gospel, Tobias shows us through the examples of three groups of individuals we have to respond accordingly to who Jesus is. Will we respond like Joseph in faith, will we respond in wonder like the Magi, or will we respond in hostility like Herod? Why not listen along to d...

As we begin a new series in Matthew's Gospel, Tobias takes us through the genealogy of Matthew chapter 1; where we discover that through the royal line, the Messiah is made known through the birth of Jesus Christ.

With Jesus giving his parting words to his disciples, one could easily make the mistake of thinking that this is end. But, after Jesus' death on the cross; his resurrection provides the hope that we need to understand that Jesus' parting words fill us with hope. Join us as Tobias teaches from John 20, reminding us of the hope we have in the resurrection and completed work of Jesus to give...

Join us as Assistant Minister Glen Burns speaks on the promise Jesus gives to the thief in Luke 23:43 at a special joint Good Friday service along with Honor Oak Christian Fellowship, Grace Church Dulwich, Grace Church Sydenham, New Life Church Catford, Grove Chapel and Mosaic Multicultural Church.

As Jesus finishes his teaching in the upper room, he closes by bringing his disciples before his Father in prayer. Join us as Benji Cook from Grace Church Dulwich shows us how we can be encouraged to know that Jesus not only brings his disciples before God the Father in prayer, but also us too.

As we continue looking at Jesus' parting words to his disciples. Tobias Brown speaks from John 15 and demonstrates how Jesus uses the metaphorical language of the Jewish forefathers in the Old Testament to reveal his greater identity to his followers and their call to be in him and to walk in his ways of sacrifical love.

As the disciples ponder Jesus' newly imparted knowledge to them, they are full questions. Where is he going? Why is he going? What is their purpose once he goes? As Al Gibbs takes us to John 14, we find Jesus' words of comfort to his disiciples as he teaches them from the upper room.

As we start our new series in the run up to Easter; we join Jesus and his disciples in the upper room, where Jesus will impart his final words before he leaves them. As we look at John 13, Glen shows us how a simple act of kindness from Jesus provides the building blocks for a much greater lesson on humility and cleansing as he washes his disciples feet in teaching them from the towel.

What happens when we don't get our way with God? That's the situation that Jonah found himself in as he found God withholding his judgment back on the people of Ninevah. As we conclude our series on the book of Jonah, Tobias teaches us the truth of grace that God wanted to teach Jonah in chapter 4 of this short but familiar story.

Not everyone gets a second chance at something. But for Jonah, he gets more than a second chance. He gets the opportunity to give the people of Ninevah a second chance before God too. As we come to the next part of the prophet's story, Tobias opens up Jonah chapter 3 where we see how God gives all of us in his grace the opportunity of a second chance in Christ.

Jonah found himself at literally his lowest point as he sank to the bottom of the sea. But in God's grace he was rescued and as he spent time in solace, he reflects on God's goodness and mercy to him despite his sinful failings. Join us as Tobias opens up Jonah 2 where we see how Jonah finds light in the darkness and resolves to worship God and follow His will.

The story of Jonah is familiar to many of us, but what can we still learn from it today? As we begin a new series on looking at God's radical grace in Jonah 1, Assistant Minister Glen Burns opens Jonah chapter 1 where we see how Jonah's lack of fear in the LORD leads to him running away from God's will. But despite his running, he cannot outrun God's will or purposes for him in his life.

We all hope for something. But what happens when our hope runs dry, and we become hopeless? The church in Thessalonica knew what they were saved from and were faithful to God, but their hope began to fade as the result of false teaching. But in chapters 4 and 5, Paul wants to remind them of the fulfillment of their salvation in Jesus as they look ahead to his return in hope. Join us as we conclude...

How do we mark faithfulness? Is it in loyalty? Is it in reward? Or is it in something else? Join us as we continue looking at 1 Thessalonians where Assistant Minister, Glen Burns, speaks on the Marks of a Faithful Church from the opening of 1 Thess. 4
