King's Church Birmingham

The church is called to be ‘witnesses’ to the coming saviour! In both word and power, we are to proclaim Jesus as Lord, no matter the cost. Rev 11 is very real about what happens to the witnesses but the message ends in triumph with God raising them from the dead and God’s Kingdom coming in beautiful, eternal glory.

This Christmas Steve unpacks the glorious truth that Jesus left His home in heaven to save us from our sins and bring us back to God

Andy explains the Seven Trumpets, as described in Revelation chapters 8 and 9.

A one off message from Wendy Mann on the Holy Spirit

Chapter 6 climaxes with the question, in the face of God’s judgement, who can stand? The answer in Chapter 7, only those sealed by the lamb of God. Our hope and eternal security rests in His finished work. And the vision that John receives changes everything!

Who can stand before the judgement of God? In this chapter we unpack our surprising need for judgement. And at the same time explore the reality that no one can face judgement. In Revelation chapter 6 we’ll see how Jesus, the lamb of God, is our only hope for both forgiveness and justice. For vindication and mercy. He alone brings all these things together.

Only Jesus, the lamb who was slain, is qualified to unravel and carry out God’s purposes for these end times. God gives us Revelation chapter 5 so that we may know the greater, true reality in a world that appears to be ruled by chaos. And he gives us this chapter to invite us into the throne room to bring our songs and our lives in worship to the lamb.

In this message we’re invited into the throne room of God. We’re reminded that as we come to worship, we join a worship service that’s already in progress. It doesn’t begin or end with us. We are invited to behold God, who is magnificent & majestic, and worthy to receive all our worship.

If you’ve ever wondered what Jesus would say to His church then look no further, this week we look at 7 examples. Eugene Peterson summarises why this is of the upmost importance for us… ‘The Church is the place where we come to find out what we are doing that is right; it is a place of affirmation. The Church is the place where we come to find out what we are doing that is wrong; it is a place of...

The first chapter of Revelation reveals Jesus Christ as the alpha and omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. The central message of this Jesus is: do not be afraid! With this message Jesus offers hope and deliverance from anxiety so prevalent in our society today.

The book of Revelation is an often-neglected book in the church today. Perhaps we find it too confusing or we’re worried that it’s not worth our time, that it won’t make sense… we often give it a pass. But this book (as the name suggests) is a revelation from God. A gift for the church that we might be built up and encouraged. In this introduction we scope out the book’s message. See its key theme...

This year we believe that God has spoken freedom over King’s Church. But freedom is not just doing what we want to do, it’s joyfully and obediently becoming more like Jesus. We unpack Jesus words in John 15 that he is the vine and we are the branches and ‘apart from him we can do nothing’. If Jesus is our life source and our ultimate joy, we want to learn how to ‘abide’ in Him. We don’t want to se...

Jesus tells a parable to a group of Jewish leaders of a invitation to a great banquet feast. As the invite goes out we see that those who thought they were going, turn out to reject the offer and those rejected in society are the unlikely ones who accept the invite and are welcomed in.

Watch and pray so you don't fall into temptation.

In chapter 9 we see the climax of the great reversal as the jews defeat their enemies. As the jews fight and trust God to win the battle for them, this story points us to the greatest victory of all time, Jesus' defeating his enemies on the cross. Our battle today as we live between that victory on the cross and the final victory to come is a spiritual one. As we look at what God has done, we can...

In chapter 8 we see Esther’s complete transformation as she lays aside personal interest and her own safety, to beg the King’s mercy for the Jewish people. Esther has so identified with the plight of her people she’s willing to risk everything that they may be spared. This kind of love is breathtaking. It can seem almost otherworldly. In Esther 8 we look at what causes this kind of love. What poss...

It looked like Haman was in control but God was in control all along. As Esther spoke to the king, God was with her, fighting for her. The story ends with the total humiliation and destruction of the evil Haman. It points us to the defeat of the evil one at the cross of Jesus Christ. The devil is going to hang on his own gallows.

The great reversal in Esther 5-6 takes place in Esther's own life as she embraces the call of God. She teaches us how we, too, can take up God's call in our lives by making room for God and putting on God's presence.

Chapter 4 provides a pivotal moment in the story of Esther. Up until now Esther has been a passive character, more acted upon than active in the story of God. She has a choice to make… Will she risk her status as Queen to identify with her people and mediate before the king? Or will she keep her head down and look to hold on to her position in the palace? Esther 4 is a story of God’s grace and the...

Sometimes in life we can feel forgotten by God, or we can wonder does God see, does He care, Is He working? The story of Esther is a gift to us as it shows that through the ordinary, seemingly insignificant coincidences in life, God is at work. He is always working for the good of His people. He is always writing His story. Though he may seem hidden, He is never absent. He is a God in whom we can...

We are all broken in different ways, and we often find ourselves medicating unhealthily or living divided lives. In Esther 2:1-18 we see both these things at play but also see a rescue found in the immense favour of God.

We keep on carousing with Ahasuerus, but is he the "King of Kings" or "King Headache"? We live in a moment of leadership crisis in both the British church and the nation, we see how the comedy of Esther helps us laugh at the Powers and see Jesus as the Cosmic Emperor on the throne.

A one off message looking at God's heart to love the stranger. How we have been welcomed in to the family of God, receiving the privilege of loving the stranger at King's Church and refugees in our city.

We begin our new series working through the book of Esther. The Jews are far from home, with no temple, no priests and no sacrifices, wondering does God still see us, will He hear our prayers? They are surrounded amid the power and trappings of empire and are asking the question, where will our help come from? The resounding answer in the book of Esther is that although sometimes God seems hidden,...

In the final message of the series, we unpack what it really means that God visits the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the 3rd and 4th generation. Can we be punished for sins our parents or grandparents committed? Can someone be trapped in sin because of something someone else did? We’ll take a look at these questions, plus unpack how God speaks a better word to us all, as we wrestle th...
