St Michaels Church Podcast

This Remembrance Sunday message reflects on Jesus and the Canaanite woman as a picture of love that crosses every border. Her faith reveals Christ’s mercy that reaches even those once seen as outsiders. Just as soldiers gave their lives for our freedom, Jesus gave His for His enemies. True freedom comes through self-sacrificial love that breaks down walls and brings peace.

This message unpacks who the Holy Spirit is. Not an abstract force, but the Lord and giver of life who draws us into God’s love. It reminds us that the Spirit is personal, powerful, and worthy of worship. Through Him we receive life, gifts, and freedom to glorify God and build his church. As we invite the Holy Spirit to lead us, we encounter God in a deeper, life-changing way.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ. Fully God. Fully man. The hero who came not to demand our reach upward, but to reach down to us. This message reminds us that God is not distant, that His glory lives within us.

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. A Father who provides, restores, and calls each of us by name. This message invites us to draw near to Him, to discover who we truly are. That we are created, known, and loved.

The creed reminds us who God is and what we believe, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, one God through all generations. As the church in the heart of London, we’re called to hold fast to this truth with faith, love, and courage, sharing it afresh with every generation.

Faith isn’t neat or polished. It’s raw, grateful, and poured out in love. When we bring our whole selves to Jesus, our pride, our shame, our past, He meets us with forgiveness and grace

We believe God is calling us to be a guardian city. A church of prayer, peace, and protection in the heart of London. Just as St Michael points us to Jesus, we want to be a people who are bold, empowering, and loving, standing together for our city and celebrating God’s goodness.

God calls us to be bold, empowering, and loving. As we settle, sow, and serve, we seek the peace of London. Trusting that when the city flourishes, we too will flourish.

When God sees London, He sees a garden. A city renewed and filled with His presence. We’re called to be bold, empowering, and loving, so that London and the world would know Jesus’ heart.

London doesn’t need optimising, it needs transforming. This talk calls us to be bold: to stay salty, grow in number, and spread out across the city, bringing growth and guarding against decay. We’re invited to repent, shine publicly, on the street and online, and welcome people to encounter Jesus through community, courses, and Sundays. Let’s be a church that can’t be hidden! The salt of the earth...

God’s presence filled the tent—so tangible Moses couldn’t enter. This message calls us to live a presence-led life: staying when He stays, moving when He moves, and trusting Jesus as the bridge who brings us near.

We all chase the “best version” of ourselves, but real transformation doesn’t come from striving — it comes from God’s presence. This message explores how, like Moses, we can reflect His glory and be changed into the likeness of Jesus.

So often we settle for substitutes, things that feel familiar but never truly satisfy. Yet God offers us something real: His presence. This message reminds us that through Jesus, we can meet with God any time, anywhere, about anything. Just as Moses spoke with God “as a friend,” we too are invited into that kind of closeness. No elaborate rituals. No perfect conditions. Just an open step of faith...

Many see God’s commands as a checklist or a reason to keep Him at a distance. But what if they were actually an invitation? This message explores how God calls His people to draw near and live in holy reverence, an awe that doesn’t push us away in fear, but pulls us closer in trust. Through Jesus, we can approach the God whose presence once shook Mount Sinai with both intimacy and confidence. Disc...

This message invites us to pause and respond to God’s rescue with praise. Just like the Israelites who stood in awe after being set free, we’re reminded that worship isn’t just for the good times, but for the moments when we realise just how far God has brought us. Let this be a moment to reflect, rejoice, and realign your heart in awe.

The word awesome may be overused, but never when it comes to God. In a season that often feels slow or disconnected, what if August became a time to reawaken our awe for Him? This message invites us to turn aside, like Moses before the burning bush, and step into God’s presence with honesty, reverence, and faith. Discover how awe isn’t about hype—but about drawing near to the God who sees, speaks,...

In this heartfelt sermon, we explore Hebrews 10:19–25 and what it means to be a church family rooted in Christ. Through powerful imagery of the temple and the sacrifice of Jesus, we’re reminded to draw near to God, hold onto hope, and encourage one another. At Saint Michael’s, we’re not just individuals—we’re a spiritual family, gathered in faith, worship, and love.

Join us for a powerful message exploring The Lord’s Prayer from Matthew 6:5–14. In this sermon, we’re reminded that prayer is more than words, it’s about identity, intimacy, and purpose. We reflect on what it means to say “Our Father”, to call on the King of the Universe, and to live out His kingdom “on our frontline,” whoever we are.

What did Jesus really mean when He said, “Go and make disciples”? In this message, Paul Woolley unpacks the Great Commission, not as a task for the few, but a calling for every believer. Whether you're facing doubts or feeling unequipped, this sermon reveals how Jesus meets us right where we are and sends us with authority and purpose into every part of life.

Does your everyday life really matter to God? Whether you’re washing mugs, leading meetings, or changing nappies—this message reminds us: Whatever you do, it all matters to the Lord. Join Sam as we explore Colossians 3 and discover how to live wholeheartedly for Jesus in the ordinary and overlooked moments.

What if God is at work in the ordinary places of your life and you’re just not aware of it? In this message from Genesis 28:10–22, Mark Beard reminds us that our frontlines, home, work, school, are where God moves. Wherever you are, God is with you.

In this first talk of Frontline Sundays, Jamie Mulvaney unpacks 1 Peter 1:1–2, exploring what it means to live as exiles and the elect in today’s world. Even in a culture that feels foreign to faith, we're called to make a difference, right where we are.

Responding to status anxiety, Elizabeth Oldfield opens up the possibility of Pentecost in how we can be Fully Alive. Elizabeth is the author of Fully Alive, the host of the podcast The Sacred, and former director of Theos think tank.
