St Mary's London Talks

Katriona rounds off our series on the 7 churches of Revelation by looking church of Laodicea. This letter has some harsh truths inside stemming from their problem with self-reliance meaning they had become tepid in their faith.

In this talk, Matt looks at the church in Philadelphia and the encouragement that Jesus brings to them.

Every now and again we hold a SOAK service which has longer times dedicated to worship than our usual weekly services. Because of this the talks are always pretty short and focus around the theme of worship. This week Aileen leads us in a reflection.

Kirstine talks to us about healing in the power of the spirit.

Do you need to wake up? Has your passion for God diminished slightly even though you might be acting as if it hasn't? In his letter to the church in Sardis, Jesus has some practical advice on how to wake up and start to spiritually rebuild, finding ways to connect back with God and even start a chain reaction amongst your friends.

It's Pentecost Sunday and the Queen's Platinum Jubilee! This week Jenny talks to us about a life of service. Looking at Philippians 2 she reflects on Jesus becoming fully human leaving all the glory and majesty of heaven to become one of us so we know we can approach the throne of grace with confidence.
