King's Church Lewes Podcast

At the end of another year, we look at Psalm 103 to help stir us to remember and thank God for his goodness and faithfulness.

Have you ever received a gift at Christmas, which seemed like someone dropping a hint about what you needed? The first Christmas, God gave us Jesus to show and provide just what we all need.

We all love a rags to riches story. Well what about a riches to rags story so that millions can become rich? That's how the Bible speaks about why Jesus came that first Christmas.  

Mary received the news of Jesus with a song of praise and joy and humility. How can we be a bit more like Mary this Christmas?

A young man wants to inherit eternal life, Jesus' response is both challenging and kind. Am I all in?

This week we examine the theology of safeguarding.      * The Mandate - every generation must play its part in caring for vulnerable people.     * The Motivation - Every leader must pursue God’s purpose and priorities for vulnerable people     * The Mission - Every means must be employed to keep vulnerable people safe, heard and noticed.

Jesus gave His life for "outsiders". Now, He is creating a community who "welcome" each other, value each other above themselves, keep each other faithful and spur each other with love.

Like the disciples we need to take time to listen to Jesus and Gods word, removing distractions and coming ready to hear. Jesus defines greatness as being ‘a servant to all’, his example means we are to follow in his footsteps empowered by the cross

In this sermon, we explore the significance of Jesus glowing on a mountain and two people from the past speaking with him as described in Mark 9:2-13. The event reveals Jesus' divine glory and is meant to encourage us, despite the challenges and suffering we may face, that we can confidently follow him, knowing that his resurrection glory assures us of the ultimate victory.

Halfway through the Gospels, Jesus begins to say that he will suffer. Even worse, he says that being his disciple means suffering too. How should we understand this for being a Christian today? How does Jesus encourage us that it is worth following him?

It's not always enough to see but we also need to see clearly. Jesus' disciples didn't always see (understand) clearly who Jesus was. How can we make sure we understand Jesus clearly today? 

Do you ever wish you had learned your lesson from past experiences and mistakes? Here we see Jesus' disciples failing to remember that they can trust Jesus in times of need. We also need not to forget to trust Jesus and remember his faithfulness. 

Jesus continues his ministry in the Northern regions, with two more healing encounters. In this passage we see some principles of ‘Asking Prayer’.

Many of us love to be nice and clean but what about on the inside? How can we know inner cleansing and being at peace with God? What strategies don't work?

We are often quick to remind ourselves that the only hero in the Bible is God. This is true, but Moses definitely looked like a hero a lot of the time. We, too, are called to be mini-heroes in the Kingdom of God. Heroes who bring the power of God into the world, and heroes who bring honour and glory and praise to the true ultimate hero: God.

After Jesus ascended into Heaven, the Holy Spirit and his gifts were sent to the early church. This message is an exploration of the gift of tongues, or ‘heavenly language’, and considering what Paul teaches about its devotional and public use. 

When we face disaster or people are against us, we can feel disoriented even as Christians. How can we reorientate ourselves and know God's peace and rest?

Jesus encounters rejection in his home town and then commissions his disciples to Go.  There are things in this passage that will help us as we go and tell the good news.
