The King's Church International Audio Podcast

Over the past few weeks we’ve seen that the Holy Spirit is for all people - all races, all nationalities, men, women, the old and also the young. All ages can experience the Holy Spirit. Whilst we looked last week at how God wants to use older people, we also see that the Holy Spirit is for young people too! As a church, we believe there is now coming a great new outpouring of the Holy Spirit on y...

Over the past three weeks we have been looking at the revolutionary impact of the Holy Spirit on individuals and in the world. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit is for all people so there can be no room for any type of racism, nationalism, tribalism and anti-Semitism; there can be no discrimination between men and women, no superiority or inferiority; and barriers between generations are broken do...

Throughout the Bible and history, God has blessed and used so many women as well as men. The Bible teaches that women and men are equal before God and that both can be used greatly by God when we are filled with the Holy Spirit. Just as you can’t be racist when you experience the Holy Spirit, so it’s also not possible to be sexist. Acts 2:18 says very clearly: ‘Even on my servants, both men and wo...

Jesus taught his disciples to love one another as friends who would lay down their lives for each other. This dream is one that we all need to protect and promote, especially in times of great uncertainly and unrest. Local churches can make a big difference in our divided and troubled world. When people of very different backgrounds live together as the family of God then there is great blessing,...

This week's podcast will be in a different format (a video podcast) and will be published shortly. All through history, there have been many times of spiritual renewal and reformation which have started with a move of the Holy Spirit. Today, many of the world's mega-churches and biggest ministries are centred on the ministry of the Holy Spirit. In Acts 1:8 Jesus promised His disciples "But you wil...

Loneliness is one of the greatest social problems in the world. It affects all kinds and classes of people. Today with the pandemic even more people feel alone as they are unable to meet with friends and family. But you are not alone. You are not forgotten. You have a greater friend than you may imagine, and that friend is Jesus. He’s the best friend we could ever have, and we can experience him b...

Throughout history many powerful kingdoms have risen and fallen, but there is one kingdom that will last for ever. The Kingdom of God is a kingdom that liberates people rather than enslaving them. It is not a political or geographical kingdom, nor one established by force or finance. It is all about the rule of a supremely loving and Holy God over every area of life, over all earthly authorities a...

One of the best days in recent world history was 8th May 1945. On VE Day there were huge celebrations to mark the end of nearly six years of World War in Europe. Today, as we face a war of a different kind, people all over the world are hoping and praying for an end to this global pandemic. There is a great need to discover good news when there is so much bad news. The best news that we could ever...

In this uncertain time, you can still live with hope in GOD. Hope means to look to the future with confidence and security, and real confidence is based on God and the promises that He gives us in the Bible. Our hope comes from the resurrection of Jesus when He opened the way for us to live near to Him and receive abundant life. When we face great challenges, it is so important to have hope and to...

The audio for this podcast is being processed and will be available shortly. The question 'Where is God in times of suffering and pain?' has often been asked throughout history. In such times there are no easy answers, but you can be confident that God is nearer than you think. The Easter story which we recently celebrated tells us that Jesus, God in human form, knew all about suffering. Although...

The world-famous hymn 'Amazing Grace' was first written by John Newtown in 1779 after he experienced the grace of God in the midst of a terrible storm, transforming him from being a cruel slave ship captain into a Christian pastor and campaigner for the abolition of slavery. But what does 'grace' really mean? Grace simply means to receive favour, kindness and mercy that you don’t deserve. Amazing...

In the Spring of 1966 Time magazine produced one of its most famous ever cover stories, asking Is God Dead?. Many people were convinced that God was indeed dead. Yet today Christianity is booming in many parts of the world, and there is great interest in Jesus even in the so-called 'secular West'. In this moment of pandemic, billions of Christians still celebrate Christ’s resurrection this Easter....

Today, just as Charles Dickens wrote, many people know what it is to experience ‘a season of darkness’ and ‘the winter of despair’ in their lives. Yet, hard as it may be to imagine, ‘a season of darkness’ can be turned into a ‘season of light’ and ‘the winter of darkness’ can become ‘the spring of hope.’ On this Palm Sunday, as we look at three different events leading up to and during the crucifi...

Key Passage: Luke 19:1-10 Additional Scriptures: 2 Samuel 6:11-12, Matthew 9:10-17 The Bible says that we can know the presence of God at all times. This means you can know God's presence in your home. It is not the size of your home that matters but the state of your mind and heart. No matter what space you are living in or who you are with, when you have the presence of God with you in your home...

Title: How To Know God's Presence In A Big Storm Series: Living With The Presence Of God Key Passage: Luke 8:22-25 “One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set out. 23 As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was bein...

Key Passage: Psalm 133: 1-3 ‘How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.' Additional Scripture: Psalm 27:4; Psalm 51:1...

Key Passage: Exodus 33:12-23 Additional Scripture: 2 Chronicles 5:14; Psalm 27:4; Psalm 51:11; Judges 16:20; in 1 Samuel 2:21 The presence of God is much more than a psychic phenomenon or a psychological experience. Just as you can sense the presence of another human being, so you can experience the pure and sometimes overwhelming presence of Almighty God. It is a wonderful thing to experience the...

When you’re in a tough spot, when you have challenges, when you have a mountain to conquer, when you are nervous, anxious, afraid or worried, what and who do you depend on? What do you look to, in order to deal with the nerves, the anxiety, or to sort out a situation? Today many people try to rely on their own strengths, their education, their reasoning, the strength of their bank balances, their...

Comfort is one of the greatest needs of people in our world. There are so many things in the world today that make us feel alone, scared, desperate, unloved, or unwelcome. But by the Holy Spirit, we can experience peace and joy. This comfort the Bible speaks about is something that touches us deep in our hearts and brings freedom. As the Bible says; God is our refuge and strength, a very present h...

On Remembrance Sunday, as we remember the brave sacrifice of many to defend freedom, and the atrocities wrought against the Jewish people in particular in WW2, let us also remember the singular importance and role of the Jewish people – in history and today. God loves the world but chose one people that would be a light to the nations. Through them all nations would be blessed. Israel is the first...

There are many teachers through which the world offers instruction. You can be taught by your boss, your teacher, your parents, a close friend, a colleague. Some of the most influential teachers in the world today are the media, social media, music, films, and adverts. These things teach us the way the world says we should look and live if we’re to be loved and accepted. Our opinions and habits ar...

Living life by the Holy Spirit is not an ordinary life. It is not business as usual. It is beyond our imagination and expectations. It doesn’t leave us the same; it brings transformation. The life of the Spirit is different from living the world’s way and to be a Christian is to be countercultural. The Bible makes it clear that there is no middle ground. You either live the way of the kingdom of d...

Every Christian can and should be filled with the Holy Spirit. Once you are filled, you can live by the Spirit. But this is not an automatic change – we have to develop our relationship with the Holy Spirit to grow and strengthen it. The Holy Spirit is a person and we need to consciously seek and build that relationship – just as we would with a friend or spouse. In this message, let’s look at som...

You can only live by the Spirit if you have first been born into the dimension of the Holy Spirit. Without His help, you are spiritually dead and therefore incapable of experiencing and responding to the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit fills you, everything changes. The early disciples were in no doubt about the radical transformation brought by the Holy Spirit. Let’s look in this week’s teachin...

We can’t live God’s way on our own. We need a helper, a friend, a comforter, a guide. We need to know how we can come close and stay close to Jesus. This is why we need to Live By The Spirit; the Holy Spirit is all of these things. Jesus said that when He returned to heaven the Holy Spirit would be our helper in our daily walk with God and our daily work for God. In this new series, let’s discover...
