Job 1.1-22. Job is one of the oldest books in the world, and it explores one of the oldest questions; why do bad things happen to good people? We learn from the first chapter that one reason is that unseen and dark forces exist. But in all circumstances the Lord is worthy of praise, and at the heart of the mystery of suffering is the majesty of the cross. 5 July 2026.

Romans 12.3-8. How can a church with so many different sorts of people function well? Romans 12 teaches that it's all about having a true assessment of who we are, appreciating each others' gifts and using our own gifts with all our hearts for the enrichment of all. Please note: the musical section referred to in this talk is not reproduced here for copyright reasons. 28 June 2026.

Isaiah 40.25-28. Isaiah 40 is packed with life-impacting truth about who God is and what he is like. Our good friend, author and theologian, Andrew Bunt opens up a short section of the chapter for us to see and savour the unfathomable greatness of the Lord. 21 June 2026.

Revelation 2.1-7 Our Ephesians series began in Acts 19 with the story of how the church in Ephesus came about. Having then journeyed through the letter itself, our series ends in Revelation 2 where the ascended Lord Jesus speaks to the same church a generation or so later. Tragically, their ardent first love for Christ has cooled and it's now time to urgently return to the essentials. 7 June 2026.

1 Samuel 17.17-50. The clash between David and Goliath is one of the best-known stories in the Old Testament. But it is not just about courageously overcoming overwhelming odds; it teaches about obedience, spiritual warfare, knowing that God is with us and how he wants to use us just as we are. 31 May 2026.

Ephesians 6:18-24. What does it mean to "pray in the Spirit" on all occasions? It's a life saturated in powerful, Kingdom-focused prayer, out of our self-centred safety zones and into a radical, global perspective. From his own perspective as an "ambassador in chains" to modern-day stories of the persecuted church, we are challenged to trade our Western obsession with personal comfort for true gos...

Ephesians 6.10-17 As Paul comes towards the end of his letter, he makes sure his readers are aware of the unseen spiritual warfare they are in; one in which all Christians in every age must stand their ground and be fully equipped to withstand every assault from evil powers. 17 May 2026.

Ephesians 6.1-9 Arrangements at home and at work in the First Century Greco-Roman world were night and day to what we know 2,000 years later in the UK. Yet God’s inspired word, first spoken to people of a very different time and place, speaks powerfully and with relevance to our domestic and working lives today. 10 May 2026.

Ephesians 5.21-33. What is God's plan for marriage? Ephesians 5 looks back to a foundational definition in Genesis 2, but precedes that with a vision of the unique responsibilities of wives and husbands, before ending with an unexpected twist about marriage's deeper spiritual meaning. 3 May 2026.

Ephesians 5.15-20. How can Christians flourish in a society where the days are evil and where addictions hold so many in bondage? By understanding what the Lord wants, by being constantly filled with the Spirit, and by expressing thankfulness and worship in song. 26 April 2026.

Hey everyone it's Brandon and Zoe from King's Church Darlington! Today we will be talking about how GOD MADE EVERYTHING!!! Hope you enjoy it! We'd love to hear from you so email us at zoe@kingschurchdarlington.org

Ephesians 5.1-14. Ephesians 5 picks up where chapter 4 left off, explaining what kind of holy life should spring from the truths outlined in chapters 1-3. The changes in our new way of life are night and day from what came before - or as Paul puts it, “once you were darkness, now you are light in the Lord.” 19 April 2026.

Ephesians 4.17-32. What is an appropriate way of life for a person who has begun to follow Jesus? Ephesians 4 says it involves consciously discontinuing old behaviours and attitudes, and being empowered to adopt others as a healthy new pattern of life. This is what God has saved us for. 12 April 2026.

Mark 16.1-6 and 1 Corinthians 15.1-8 The first Easter Sunday is the most momentous day ever. It is a day of surprise, emotion, awe and wonder. As celebrations go, it is heaven’s greatest Champagne moment. What did the first witnesses of Jesus’ empty tomb make of it and how does the oldest written record of those events supply good evidence that it really happened? 5 April 2026.

Ephesians 4.7-16. How do Christians grow in stature and get equipped for maturity in faith? The ascended Lord Jesus has a plan for that, blessing his church with many gifts including apostolic, prophetic, evangelistic, pastoral and teaching ministries. 29 March 2026.

Ephesians 4.1-6. The first three chapters of Ephesians lay a doctrinal foundation, but the last three are much more practical, starting with chapter 4 which calls for unity and maturity as we live out our faith in Christ. 22 March 2026.

Ephesians 3.14-21. In the second of Paul’s prayers for the Christians in Ephesus he asks God that they would have a deeper and surer grasp of the vast array of blessings that are already theirs. Do we fully realise the wealth that is ours in Christ? 15 March 2026.

Ephesians 3.1-13. It was always God’s intention to make irreligious outsiders, hopelessly alienated from God, members of his royal family alongside his ancient chosen people, the Jews. So why did God delay this for centuries? Why wait so long? It’s a bit of a puzzle. Ephesians 3 explains. 8 March 2026.

Acts 11.19-26 and 13.1-3. The New Testament church in Antioch was a multinational community with richly diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. This is evidence of the grace of God in their midst and is a great model for our own local church in Darlington. 1 March 2026.

Ephesians 2.11-22. How do you get enemies who don’t like each other and have nothing in common to become reconciled friends who feel like family? There’s only one way; the gospel. Ephesians 2 explains. 22 February 2026.

Ephesians 2.1-10. In chapter two of Ephesians, Paul likens the salvation we all desperately need to the miraculous raising of a stone-cold corpse from death. This is no self-help personal improvement programme. “You were dead in your sins… but God…” Ephesians 2.1-10 answers three vital questions. What are you saved from? What are you saved by? And what are you saved for? 15 February 2026.

Ephesians 1.15-23. In the first of his two extended prayers for the Ephesian believers, Paul asks that his readers would know God and experience his incomparably great power in them - which is the same as the mighty strength that raised Christ from the dead. Do we really know the reality of that power at work in us? What stands in the way of us doing so? 8 February 2026.

Ephesians 1.3-14. Paul opens his letter to the Ephesians with a stunning outline of God’s eternal and invincible purposes in Christ. How overwhelmingly blessed we are and how infinitely praiseworthy is his grace. 1 February 2026.
