King's Church Lewes Podcast

We all have people, places or things which we turn to give us some sort of refuge or respite when we hit difficulties in life? But how effective are they at providing a lasting solution? What if someone could give us something that really works and really lasts?

We live in a culture that has many very effective ways of distracting us from the deepest questions of our existence.  What do we actually find when we cut out those distractions, and what can we do about it?

Many people experience Anxiety and Worry from the mild to the severe. Can Jesus, and faith in him, make any difference in the dark times of anxiety?

Loneliness is a growing problem in Western society today, with increasing numbers feeling alone and isolated.  What does the Bible say about this? Can faith in Jesus make a difference when we experience loneliness? 

We all long to change and, as we start a new year, many of us consider making new year resolutions. We long for personal fulfilment and happiness, but what if it’s not about us and these new year resolutions are never going to be enough? What does the Bible say about change and the person God created us to be?

Jesus came as Emmanuel (God with us) at Christmas. What does it look like for God to be with us and near to us in everyday life?

Christmas lights are everywhere at the moment, brightening up the winter evenings, but we need more than a few lights to give us lasting joy. What does the Bible mean about Jesus being the true light who came to bring light to everyone?

Everyone’s hoping that Christmas this year will go ahead with minimal Covid restrictions, something to look forward to. And despite its questionable place in the calendar, Christmas is also the perfect time to remember the difference Jesus can still make today.

The core of the Christian faith is the belief that Jesus physically rose from the dead, and that this changes everything. But why do Christians believe this, and what does it have to do with baptism?  

Many people think that God is only interested in certain kinds of people. Jesus taught and demonstrated that he welcomes everyone, even those who many people are happy to leave on the margins of society.

If you know anything at about Jesus, you'll probably know that he died by execution on a Roman cross. What was amazing about Jesus' death, and even in the way he died?

One of the last things Jesus did with his final hours of freedom was to eat a meal with his disciples. Was it just a final meal before his execution, or was there something more important going on? 

We're taking a break from our Amazed by Jesus series to look at how David found strength in God, even in the middle of a mess of his own making. When we're exhausted or discouraged, we can a believe the lie that our situation is hopeless and that God is not good and able to help us. Nothing could be further from the truth.

When Jesus rode into Jerusalem at the peak of his popularity, the crowds went wild.  But not everyone was pleased to welcome him, and the mood soon turned nasty.  This mix of emotions can also raise difficult questions for everyone today who thinks seriously about Jesus.  

There are very few things more baffling than when someone doesn’t understand something that’s blatantly obvious to you. Christians can become very frustrated when others don’t see how great the message about Jesus really is.  Why is this, and what can be done about it?

The amazing things Jesus did raised a lot of questions about who he really was and how he did these things. Today we look at an incredible encounter which should have left his disciples in no doubt.

Today we look at an incredible miracle of Jesus. But how could it have happened back then and what does it teach us about Jesus for today?

Jesus saves the disciples from a storm at sea and they’re left asking - “who is this man?”. What does this miracle teach us about Jesus and how can he help us during the storms of life today? 

Jesus gave amazing teaching and we've heard about some of his healings in this series, but what about the problem of death? What did Jesus have to offer to the dying and what hope can he give us today in face of our own death or the death of loved ones? 

Even a cursory reading of the accounts of Jesus in the New Testament reveals an extraordinary number of miraculous healings. What do they tell us about Jesus, and how should we understand them today? 

Why did Jesus come? What was he all about? Here we look at a powerful moment when Jesus announced his mission and spoke of the life-changing impact it would have on people's lives.

Jesus starts his public ministry by doing two unexpected and apparently unnecessary things. Yet despite being familiar to many Christians, their real significance is often overlooked.  So what was really going on, and how does that change how we think about Jesus? 

Build the church. Why? How? What, me? Through a parable of Jesus we look at the powerful potential of the gifts he gives us and our responsibility to use them well.  

Some Christians seem perpetually weighed down by feelings of guilt about their sin, while others don’t seem to care at all about living blatantly ungodly lives. Neither are very appealing, so is there a better way?
