Life Church Southampton

Suffering affects each and every one of us, and Jesus is no exception. In all our suffering we can know this, that God has experienced suffering and He understands.

What are the implications of the fact that Jesus' Kingdom is not of this world for how we think about race and diversity?

The big question this message addresses is this: What do you make of Jesus? It must be the biggest question anyone will ever ask, and the implications of your answer have eternal consequences.

LifePod: In another episode looking deeper into our teaching series, Si and Dave look closer at the links between John 18 and Psalm 23.

This week, Dave introduces the series 'The Suffering of Jesus Christ' and a few ways that will help you to engage with the teaching.

What can be learnt from Judas' betrayal of Jesus and the ways that different people in this story react to it? How, especially, is Jesus reacting to these circumstances?

Jesus loved to gather with others, and when he did it was powerful and precious. Our gatherings can be the same, with the same Jesus in the midst.

Combining the example of Jesus and the wisdom of Paul, this message will help shape your personal and corporate prayer life.

Most societies and sub-cultures either idolise children, disregard them or treat children as a commodity. Jesus’ teaching about children is radically different. The love Jesus speaks of for His children changes the way we parent, and the way we include children in the life of the church.

Guest Speaker, Dub Everitt, speaks on 'Loving People Toward Jesus'. A message encouraging us to care for those who God has placed in our path, and sharing Jesus' love with them.

We look at the obstacles the Good Samaritan overcame to reach out to someone in need, and how we can love our neighbours in the same way.

God’s desire is for his church to seek the good of the city that it is in. Life Church is to be a church that seeks the good of Southampton – every community and every people in the city.

In the Church, the right people doing the right things in the right places leads to the word of God growing. Life Church is to be church that raises up and releases people to all sorts of different things.

Jesus' plan for the church has always been for it to be a place that witnesses to the world through the love it embodies. Si unpacks more about our vision to be a church that is full of people who love one another.

Over the course of the last year, our elders have been seeking God as to what he is calling us to as Life Church – the specific thing that we are called to, in Southampton, now. This week Chris introduces the vision and give six essentials for a resource church.

Christmas is more dangerous than you know.

Alongside the very ordinary events unfolding in Bethlehem there is an extraordinary encounter happening out in the fields as angels appear and declare with joy the birth of the saviour.

We all remember the story of Mary finding out that she is pregnant but then was comforted by the Angel, but in-fact the comfort offered to her by the angel was far greater than we might remember. Christmas is more comforting than you know.

It is shocking that the God describes himself as Jealous. How do we make sense of that? How do we relate to God if he’s Jealous and isn’t it at odds with him being loving? These are some of the questions Dave explores with us this week.

How can God be distinct from creation, and therefore far from us, at the same time as keeping his promise to be near us? John Groves explores how the God of Christianity is, uniquely, a Speaking God.

To know that God is all powerful changes how we view him and how we view ourselves - let this message strengthen your faith!

God"s mercy brings us hope, restoration and redemption. Let"s learn about his merciful character through passages throughout the Bible.

God is distinct from His creation, yet wholly present at every point in time and space, sustaining everything. There is no limit to His presence.

Being someone who doesn’t change is rarely seen as a good thing in people - but the bible repeatedly says it about God. Dave explores what it means for us to know a God who is unchanging.

How can we be a diverse people, meeting in many places, but still remain one church?
