King's Church Lewes Podcast

Here we look at Jesus giving some advice on how to attend a party, throw a party and then an example story about a party. But there is a twist that has big implications for us that we can learn from...

What if you suddenly won a million pounds? What would you do with it? How would it change you? What would it show about what's important to you? Hear Jesus tell the story of a man who had a massive windfall, the effect it had on him and the message for us today.

Noah and the Flood must be one of the best known Bible stories but is it really believable? If it is, what does it tell us about what we are like today, what God is like and how God still offers the rescue we need.

Why is often a struggle to keep going with anything worthwhile in life? It could be healthy eating, fitness, staying on top of finances or spending quality time with those we love. It could be something spiritual like praying regularly, Bible reading or obeying God in daily life. In Genesis we see how people failed right from the beginning but God was determined to get them back on track. What doe...

What does life outside the garden of Eden looks like? Things turn ugly as violence and vengeance emerge with a tragic murder. As a further exile is imposed, is there any hope for a way back without compromising justice?

Why does God seem so distant sometimes? Why does life seem so imperfect, even after we have become Christians? And why do we really need Jesus anyway? Can't we just come to God by ourselves just as we are?

Christians are often surprised when they are not popular: after all, why would anyone dislike people whose aim is to love everyone and to share good news? But there is more going on than just a few people taking offence - there is a hidden war raging and victory will not be cheap.

We live in a culture where people go to great lengths to prevent and assuage negative feelings of guilt or shame. We want to help people feel good about themselves, regardless of anything they might have done. Is this really helpful, and is there a better way to handle these unpleasant emotions?

Why is it said that forbidden fruit always tastes sweeter? Why is it so hard sometimes to do the right thing, even when we have the best intentions? Is there an solution, or are we just doomed to fail when we try to resist temptation?

What, if anything, can we learn from the story of a talking snake trying to trick people into eating forbidden fruit? Is it an outdated and irrelevant relic from a gullible past? We find instead that it sheds light on much of what goes on inside our heads and hearts as we also face questions of truth and reality.

Friendships can give us great joy in life as well as great pain. The same is true of marriage. Why are relationships worth pursuing and how does God help us in them and through them?

Whether you love or loathe politics it's hard to avoid them in the run up to a General Election. Does the Bible have anything to say about to us about our involvement or our voting decisions.

Money is often a tricky subject to talk about, as we can be naturally protective of our own 'stuff' and our own right to decide what to do with it. However when we look closer at God and what he is like, we discover that we've not been thinking that clearly about money after all.

What is Easter really all about? For many people it is simply an inspiring message of hope when things get tough, and new opportunities rising from the ashes of disappointment. However when we take a closer look we discover something rather more unsettling...

How important are our gender differences? Are they just physical plus what our culture has told us about how we should behave? In this message we look at what Genesis tells us about being male and female, as well as covering questions about whether Adam and Eve were real people or the first people.

The story of Adam & Eve in the Garden of Eden is pretty well known, even by people who know very little else of the Bible. But what should we make of it today? Is it just a fairy story that has no relevance to my life today?

Have you ever felt like you can't keep up with the pace of life? Ever felt that there is just too much to do in too little time and you have too little energy to do it? Is your to-do-list constantly expanding despite your best efforts? Maybe you need some rest?

Why do we work? Is it a necessary evil that we all have to do? In this sermon we are going to see what Genesis tells us about work and its place in our lives.
