King's Church Lewes Podcast

Married life is not always easy and sometimes it seems as if it is no longer possible to carry on together. What can we do when the honeymoon is over and romance seems to have died?

There are many things in life that can distract us and cause us to drift off course. Let's make sure we keep our focus on the most important thing.

Like any family, church life has its ups and downs. Inevitably things will go wrong, people will upset you, frustrate you and let you down. Jesus gives us clear instructions making sure these bumps in the road don't cause a relational write-off.

Everyone desires to be great. Everyone wants to be seen as the best, and the disciples are no different. Here we see them ask 'who is the greatest?' And Jesus gives them (and us) three ways to become great in the Kingdom of heaven. But it might not be how you expect...

Have you ever stepped out in faith only to discover God doesn't seem to have stepped out with you? How do you react when God doesn't do what you expect him to? Is there an alternative to playing it safe to avoid further embarrassing failures?

Jeff Fletcher Reading Verse. Living for Jesus today has many challenges: What does the bible say to help us stay true to our faith in an increasingly hostile culture?

Some experiences change lives forever,either for better or for worse. A real encounter with the Real God should surely be the ultimate life changing encounter: So why then do so many people settle for a mundane and predictable religious experience?

It's easy to think we know all about who Jesus is and what God should do. However, as one of his closest followers finds out, Jesus refuses to allow us to tell him what to do - even concerning our own lives. But how can that really be fair?

The turkey's eaten, the tree's been taken down, the New Year's been welcomed in - what's next? At the start of 2012 we look at where we hope to be as a church this time next year. It won't be easy, but Jesus never said it would be.....

Jesus is the ultimate Quiz-Master and he shows us how to do it with two questions which are pivotal to this whole series. Take part in the big Quiz, compare your answers and see whether you will get a prize!

Getting on with each other is not always easy - even in the church. We need to find a way to handle the inevitable conflicts and personality clashes that will otherwise seriously damage the church.

The safe arrival of the newest member of the family is always a time to celebrate & thank God. It also brings fresh demands and challenges for the parents. We take some time out to ask God's blessing on some new arrivals at King's.

Why doesn't God do something to show he really exists? Surely there must be some convincing way of proving his existence to us? Jesus gives us a rather fishy answer when he's challenged to 'put up, or shut up'.

We expect Jesus to friendly, polite and above all nice. However it seems the real Jesus can be a lot more blunt than we'd like him to be. So what should we do when it seems like God doesn't want to know?

Why is it so easy for churches to become boring? And for Christians to live dull, unsatisfying lives? It's because it's so easy for us to make exactly the same mistakes as the religious types of Jesus' time. So how can we make sure we don't just settle for second best?

Would you ask a starving widow to give you some of her last meal? Elijah does, an in doing so teaches us an important lesson for all sorts of areas of our lives.

Here even Jesus own followers mistake Jesus for something else. During intense pressure and difficulties of a storm they mistake the Real Jesus for a ghost. In this sermon we will do some ghost busting by looking at the Real Jesus and see what he has to say to us in times of pressure during a storm.

When Jesus feeds a massive crowd with one small packed lunch it raises all sorts of questions. How did he actually do it? Why did he decide to do it? What does it mean for us?

Think you really know about Jesus? Think again. Many people, including many Christians, walk around with an inadequate understanding of the Real Jesus, settling instead for a weak, watered down, low-calorie imitation. How can we make sure that we don't make the same mistake?

It's all too easy to have a simplistic or watered-down idea of who Jesus is. When we look closer we discover he is more awesome than we can possible imagine.

This is one of the most common questions Christians ask. What does the bible really say about our future after our body dies?

Jesus' parables were more than just nice stories to entertain bored listeners - they are challenges to take God seriously. As we dig into them we discover that Jesus isn't offering a bit of personal spirituality but calling us to stake everything we have on him.

Why do some Christians seem to be doing superbly well in living for Jesus but others never seem to get out of first gear? Why do some of us find it so hard to live the way we should? Jesus tells a story that gives some of us the answer....

All families have their ups and downs, including Jesus' family. When his mum and his brothers can't take any more of his unusual behaviour Jesus takes the opportunity to spell out some hard truths about family. We still need to hear them today, if we're going to do church the way Jesus wants us to.

Christians will always tell you that God is merciful but here we discover it is more than just what God does - it's actually who he is...
