Sunday Sermons - Reality Church London

Jesus' first words in John's account are "What are you seeking?" This question is packed with theological significance, Jesus is asking those following him what are there desires, "What do you want, really?" Those following Jesus reply by asking a simple question "Where are you staying?" That is to say, where are you abiding. Join us as we explore the call to just abide with Jesus.

This Sunday marks the start of Epiphany, where the church celebrates Christ’s light shining in the darkness. This sermon will explore the wonder of wonders, that the eternal logos is also the sacrificial lamb who has come to take away the sin of the world.

Jesus perfectly reveals that God is full of both grace and truth. And it's these two realities of God's character that we must daily endeavour to live by. Seeking God's grace and truth fuel and equip us to live our lives worthy of the call of God in Christ.

We apologise for the audio clipping throughout the message In Eugene Peterson’s The Message , he paraphrased this verse by saying, ‘The word became flesh and moved into the neighbourhood’. Christmas is about the eternal Word taking on flesh and getting close, making his home among us so that we could be at home in him.

In our second sermon in our Advent series, we look at the transforming reality that Jesus Christ brings to humanity. The fruit of what Christmas produces is that we can be children of God, In many ways Christmas shows us a fundamental feature of the christian identity.

Throughout this Advent season we will be examining the first chapter of John's gospel. exploring the theology at the heart of Christmas. This week we focus on the staggering fact that at Christmas, Christians affirm that God, in Christ, truly came and became human. This recognition affirms that at the heart of ultimate reality, is a relational Person, who has come to shine a light in the dark.

We all worship something, and worship is formational. Today Pastor Dave Lomas, teaching pastor at Reality SF, comes to teach us about the ultimate priority of corporate worship in the life of the church and in the lives of the saints. Worship reorients us to the ultimate reality of the cosmos, a reality thats is based on a three times holy God and a lion and lamb, who is worthy to receive all glor...

Today Tim Chaddick, Pastor at Reality Church Ventura, one of our sister churches, speaks to us about the fundamental need for us to wait and rely on God. Especially in our current cultural climate, the culture of "now", our waiting on the Spirit of God to move may be particularly challenging, but it is essential fuel for our walk with God and ministry to our neighbour.

In this episode, guest speaker Neil Powell reminds us that the power and the gospel of God is still visibly working through the church today. Indeed, looking back on the miracle of our salvation should propel us onto sharing the good news of God's salvation, in Christ. Knowing that "today is the day of salvation, now is the time of God's favour".

After Isaiah has encounters God’s glory and grace. He responds in the only logical way: complete surrender. The giving his whole life over to God’s mission. What’s more, the main way God will use Isaiah is in the ways Isaiah was most aware of his weakness and sinfulness (vv6-7, his mouth, speaking). God’s mission through us is always a reflection of his grace at work in us.

In Isaiah's vision, the place where he encounters God is in the Temple. The temple is the meeting place of heaven and earth. Once represented by a physical building and location in Jerusalem. It is now represented by Christ Himself, and the physical gathering of His church. Today we explore the purpose of our gathering regularly as a church.

One of the primary themes of Isaiah's encounter with God is that Isaiah is meeting with the God who is holy, holy, holy. But why this repetition? In today's episode we focus in on what holiness truly means, what an encounter with a Holy God feels like, and how indeed it is possible.

As we begin our vision series looking at Isaiah's encounter with God, an encounter which propels Isaiah into his prophetic ministry. We first see that God met with Isaiah in the year of King Uzziah's death. In this weeks message, we examine our need for an encounter and how God often uses a severe mercy to remind us of our need of Him.

Rather than relating to God as a taskmaster whose rules must be followed. The gospel creates a new dynamic in which a person can relate to God with the deepest closeness and intimacy.

Today we start our new series looking at the book of Galatians. In this episode we explore, our great need for the gospel, how we never graduate from it, and the great comfort the gospel alone brings. Seeing how it makes us fully alive and truly free.

In a moment of deep anxiety for his disciples, Jesus encourages his friends by reminding them that the work of his crucifixion brings with it a promise, and hope springing out of this promise. A promise that we have an eternal home, where we will dwell with each other, and our God forever.

Jesus, on the night of his betrayal, spends a significant amount of time teaching his disciples about God's great love for us. One of the consequences of knowing God's great love is that we are commanded to deeply love one another too, and by being a community marked by love, we become a communal testimony to the very love of God. Join us as we explore the power, beauty, and importance of this gre...

Jesus' washing his disciples feet would have shocked them, this was a task usually reserved for the lowliest of servants. But here the king of the universe knelt and served. Today, Pastor Girma explore's how the christian life must be marked by humility and service to one another.

Over the past few months we have had some exciting additions to our staff team. As such, a number of our team sat down for a conversation discussing everything from what they do in their job roles to their favourite things about London!

This week we begin a short sermon series looking at the centrality and importance of community for the church. In this first address, Pastor Bijan reminds us that the foundation of Christian community is knowing that we are loved with the unending love of Jesus. "Having loved them to the end"

Guilt is something we all experience, and in Psalm 32 we see David reckoning with the sin behind his guilt. Yet, how does David respond? Today, George explores how David expresses true sorrow and repentance for his sin, and also true joy in coming to the God who saves.

During a time of great physical need, David recognises his ultimate need of God. It is in the desert place where David records this psalm of hope and praise. Join us as Pastor Rashad Clemons explore's where David's strength to worship lies.

Contentment is a true jewel for those following after God hearts. As David expresses here in Psalm 16, it flows from delighting and knowing the God who delights and knows us. This morning Pastor David Plant explores what this means for the Christian life today.

Whilst being hunted, David has a chance to take vengeance against Saul but he doesn’t; instead, David confronts Saul with compassion and mercy. This sermon explores how David was able to show Saul such a radical mercy, through confidence in God's plan and knowledge of his own need of mercy.

True Christian joy is serious business. It is an essential part and consequence of following Christ. Today we explore how the words and works of Jesus during the Wedding Feast at Cana are signs pointing us towards himself as our bridegroom, the true source and bringer of Joy.
