King's Church Lewes Podcast

Pete West who leads a number of Newfrontiers churches in Lesotho, tells us about what God's doing there and also brings out some principles he's learnt for extending the Kingdom of God.

Here in the third and final parable about Jesus' return we are going to play a game of spot the difference. We have a whole bunch of sheep and goats... how does the real Jesus explain we can know the difference between the two? What surprises does he give us? And how does this affect us now?

There have been so many wrong predictions about when Jesus will return that many Christians treat the whole thing as pure fiction. Jesus, however, tells us that he most certainly will return even though we simply don't know when. But what will his return really be like and how should it affect us now?

Few aspects of the Christian faith excite more discussion, emotion and imagination than Jesus' final return. Many believers have got all of their understanding of it from dramatic novels, DVDs or websites. To help us properly get to grips with this tricky subject let's look at Jesus' own words on the subject.

Despite nearly half a million babies being born every day each new arrival is special and something to celebrate & thank God for. Each new member of the family also brings fresh demands and challenges for the parents. While celebrating a new arrival at King's we also take a moment to consider where our lives are going...

Have you ever been caught out by a tricky question about your faith, to which you have no answer? Jesus finds himself on the sharp end of such questions but reflects them back, putting his questioners under the spotlight. But other than winning an argument back then, how do his answers help us to live well today and in the future??

Have you ever felt upset by friends or family neglecting a special occasion? Forgetting an anniversary or not turning up to a party can send the message that 'You are not important to me.' Jesus throws that idea back at us, giving a valuable if uncomfortable insight into how we treat God.

Why do people who follow Jesus get up in front of a large group of people, get soaking wet in a bath and go home? It seems weird. Why did Jesus ask us to do this? Well it one section of a three part response to Jesus and that's what we're exploring today!

Jesus often clashed with the religious types of his day - the very people who should have been most ready to accept him. It can be still true of us today: we can have all sorts of ways of resisting God, whilst still thinking we're doing what he wants. Which ones do you recognise?

How can you get a drink of water in the middle of a desert? How can we build a large, strong, growing church in a little town in Sussex? In both cases we need to remember who brought us here and where he's taking us.

When Jesus triumphantly arrives in Jerusalem, hailed as a king, everyone expected him to act like a king. Instead he acts like a vandal, starting a one man riot in the temple & killing a tree. What's going on? And what does it have to do with us today?

Here is a weird passage involving cloaks, leaves and donkeys. What is going on in this weird passage? Here we will look at the imagery showing us Jesus as king, how that relates to us and how we should respond like a donkey.

Many people know the Easter story but think it is simply just that: a made-up story. When we investigate it however, it turns out there is evidence for a different conclusion. What do you think?

No one wants to be a loser, but when we come to Jesus aren't we supposed to be all humble, meek and mild? In a short conversation with a pair of loudmouths Jesus turns our expectations upside down and challenges us to achieve true greatness.

Fairness in the workplace is a hot topic, particularly when it comes to what we get paid. Jesus teaches us about his workplace as we face an interview with the Boss and our staff appraisal all in one morning!

We can sometimes be very unhappy with what God seems to be doing. We often have our own view on the way things should work out and how he should treat other people. Like the prophet Jonah it seems we still have a lot to learn...

When a nice, respectable young man asks Jesus for advice things don't go quite as he was expecting. After his encounter with Jesus he goes away disappointed and unhappy. Why did he react so badly to Jesus words, and how can this conversation enrich our lives?
