Kes Talks

To be satisfied in life we need to feel connected to, at one with, creation. Why don’t we? How can we better enjoy God’s creation and human creativity? How are you involved in making people and things? Recorded live at Keswick Convention 2025.  Keswick Convention is organised by Keswick Ministries. The central vision of Keswick Ministries is to see the people of God refreshed, inspired and equippe...

In a world fractured by tensions and ‘culture wars’, how can we make sense of this as Christians? This talk explores how our polarised culture reflects deeper spiritual longings for justice, identity, and belonging. We will be challenged to consider how we can demonstrate a compelling gospel witness, even in times of division and will explore how the Christian message provides a unique response to...

God, the inventor of Sabbath, invites his people to enter his rest (Hebrews 4:9-11). But, in a fallen world, even in our busy service of God, we can feel more like Cain, who was cursed to be, “a restless wanderer” (Genesis 4:12). In this seminar we’ll develop a biblical, gospel-shaped, understanding of true rest and explore practical ways to develop rhythms of rest that promote physical, emotional...

Recreation literally means to be created again. Recreation renews and restores us. But much of what we call recreation – if we use the word at all – doesn’t seem to do that. Instead, so-called recreative activities can leave us drained and discouraged. In this seminar we’ll explore a biblical perspective on recreation, seeking to understand why we tend to turn re-creation into de-creation and how...

Leadership, authority and power are tricky subjects in 2025. Rightly, we are more aware of abuses and their misuse. But we still mess up. How should we lead as Jesus would have us lead – in workplaces, society, churches? How does the gospel not merely tweak the margins but transform leadership from the inside out? Recorded live at Keswick Convention 2025.  Keswick Convention is organised by Keswic...

This session explores how we can engage in conversations about the end of life. Peter will look at the current debate around assisted suicide, what is likely to happen legally and the space this opens for profound conversations about life and death. Dawn will help us think about navigating conversations about life being ended in the womb and how we better support both lives. Recorded live at Keswi...

Here we see that James is not merely a “practical” letter written to Christians in general, but a penetrating analysis and treatment of an undiagnosed spiritual disease among believers who are experiencing significant difficulties.

We encounter the Holy Spirit from the first to the last chapters of the Bible. From the beginning he is described as ‘the Spirit of God’ (Genesis 1:2). But what does this description mean? In this seminar we will survey the Bible’s teaching on his divine identity as the third person of the Trinity, his personal nature, and his multifaceted work, especially in the Old Testament. Recorded live at Ke...

The apostle Paul says that ‘Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him’ (Romans 8:9). But what does it mean to say that the Spirit is ‘the Spirit of Christ’? We often think mainly of the work that he does in us and forget what we will reflect on in this seminar: the Holy Spirit is first and foremost the Spirit who worked in Christ. Recorded live at Keswick Convention 2025...

The Day of Pentecost was filled with drama–the sound of a rushing wind, tongues of fire, people hearing the apostle preach the gospel in their own languages, and thousands of conversions. Everyone was asking the question, ‘What does this mean?’ (Acts 2:12). In this seminar we will explore the content and significance of Simon Peter’s famous answer. Recorded live at Keswick Convention 2025.  Keswic...

One of the church’s greatest theologians wrote that ‘Spirit of adoption’ is the ‘first’ title of the Spirit. That is not true chronologically, and this description appears rarely in the Bible. So is it really so significant? In this seminar we will explore this role of the Spirit and its practical importance by examining its use in Paul’s letters as he echoes the teaching of Jesus. Recorded live a...

2.1 Relationships - The Key to our Spiritual Transformation The key to your spiritual growth in Christ could be the Christian sat next to you (and you theirs!). In today’s culture we tend to make spiritual transformation far too individualistic, often neglecting the deeper implications of the vision of love laid out by Jesus. As we begin this seminar series we will explore the kind of relationship...
