King's Church Lewes Podcast

How can you have a genuine love for someone who has wronged you? The instructions for living as a Christian seem to get ridiculously difficult as we're told to love our enemies. How does this work practically and where can we find the power to love in this radical way?

Where do you come across the best example of love in everyday life? Is it between good friends, a parent and child or a couple still going strong at their Golden Wedding Anniversary? Jesus said we ought to see great love between Christians in the church. What should it look like and how do we keep going when there are problems and we want to give up?

What does God really want from me? Does he expect a lifetime of sacrificial drudgery and duty? Or does he just want to add some spirituality to enrich my current lifestyle? Are either of those alternatives really worth dying on a cross for?

After centuries of waiting, the promised King arrives but he’s not what anybody expected. Through a dream we receive a staggering revelation about this babies identity which has life-changing implications!

Christmas seems to come around so fast. Whether you're ready or not, excited or apprehensive, our 3 part Advent series will help you pause to reflect on the heart of the good news of Christmas - before things get too busy!

There is a great deal of confusion amongst Christians as to how we should view Israel: views range from fierce support to high-handed dismissal. The question can affect our whole reading of the bible as well as our approach to evangelism & mission. So can we get any real clarity on such a controversial issue?

Ever seen an offer that seems too good to be true? If the message of Jesus is such good news, why do so many reject it? What is it about Jesus that puts people off?

How should Christians think about Israel? With a huge range of views promoted and considerable disagreement over what they might mean - for everything from how we pray to Western foreign policy in the Middle East, it's a question worth asking. In the first of three messages on this subject we examine the lack of Jewish believers and the question of God's fairness.

Money can have a powerful effect on us. It can give you great joy. It can make you take big risks. It can strike fear into the heart. But what does God say should be our attitude towards money? What does he offer us that's even better?

It's not easy following Jesus in a culture than views faith as primitive, restrictive and bigoted. It's not easy living a God-centred life with so much discouragement, so many distractions and so many reasons to give up. Can we really be sure we will make it in the end, or is our future in serious doubt?

Nearly everyone has theology of suffering - a way of understanding suffering in light of God - whether they know it or not. Unfortunately many are woefully inadequate, as evidenced by the number of professing Christians who give up when life gets painful. We need a theology of suffering that is based on more than just an optimistic and comfortable Western worldview - and that is just what we find...

Charity begins at home, but unfortunately it also often stops at home. What does Jesus have to say to help us show kindness and generosity to people in need, even when we naturally want to put limits on who we help?

Natalie works for King's Church Hastings, co-ordinating their social action and community work.

There are many ways of trying to make faith attractive but Jesus sometimes seems to go out of his way to put people off, including asking them to do things that appear to go against their own best interests. Is this really the case or is there something more going on?

How Risk Averse are you? What about when it comes to taking steps of faith for Jesus? Some people are naturally cautious and others are verge on gung ho. How can we all make sure we don't let undue caution hold us back? Or that we don't plough in unhelpfully?

Everyone wants to be great in one way or another. But what does it really mean to be great? How can we become great? What does being great actually look like? Who is the greatest of them all? These are all things that Jesus deals with in this second conversation in our latest series.

What would you be willing to give up to follow your dreams? Is the Christian life worth giving up things for? Jesus talked to a man who wouldn't give up what Jesus was asking him to. He thought it wouldn't be worth it. Was he making a big mistake?
