The King's Church Mid-Sussex

Halfway through his letter to the Colossians, Paul reminds them of the resurrection of Christ and the identification of Christians with him. We look above. And then Paul speaks about the return of Christ as the great event towards which we look forward.

At the start of a new term, Jim reminds us of our vision to love God and love people so that lives and communities are transformed. This will happen as we spent time with Jesus, become like Jesus and do as Jesus did.

This one’s about recognising the sort of things that can derail our faith in Christ alone and how we help each other avoid them.

Some Colossians wanted to complicate the gospel by adding irrelevant rules & regulations, robbing the believers of their peace & joy. Paul reassured them of their union with Christ in his death, burial & resurrection & declared their complete forgiveness & freedom from guilt. Jesus set them free.

One ordinary woman encounters the risen Jesus. Kieran explores the relevance of this to us today.

Paul has a warning for the church in Colossae - don't be deceived by clever arguments and lies. And his answer to not being deceived is Jesus - who holds all wisdom and understanding. How do we identify and counter the clever arguments that throw us off course? Dan continues our series on the book of Colossians.

We get a glimpse into what motivated the Apostle Paul to get out of bed in the morning. He gave his life for the sake of the church, and to see Christians mature and grow in Christ. How might we live with the same ambition for Christian maturity?

We travel from being alienated from God to being reconciled by him into a new way of living. Barry reflects on amazing words from Colossians 1:21-23.

Do you find sharing your faith a challenge? If so, you're not alone. Rev Greg Downes joins us to share some wisdom both from the bible and from personal experience on how to make it easier!

The Greatest Of All Time. No one tops Jesus. He is supreme. Yet God can be discovered in Jesus. Remarkably, God can be encountered in Jesus.

Paul’s prayer in the first chapter of Colossians is rich and varied. He prays for an active, fruitful, thankful Church and gives many reasons why Christians should act in this way including that they have been redeemed by Jesus. William Kay continues our series on the book of Colossians.

Jim starts our new series from Colossians looking at what this young church were known for - the three core characteristics of the Christian life - faith, love, hope.

We take time to thank God for stories of his faithfulness and look forward to what the next season has for The King's Church. Jim talks about the things that need strengthening and sets a vision, not necessarily for what we want to do, but for who we are wanting to become.

This morning we hear some some feedback and exciting stories from many of the ministries that The King's Church are involved in.

This one's about looking to Jesus in a way that’s like running an endurance race. Steve considers what endurance running might say about Jesus-following. It’s particularly for you if you don’t like running.

It could be very easy to rush into another year, doing what we have always done. But time and again we read of God's people 'seeking God' for breakthrough, provision, guidance and protection. Jim encourages us to be a church that makes 'seeking God' a similar priority.

On the verge of a brand new year, Jim reminds us that as Christians we are new creations - the old has gone, the new has come. We love new beginnings, but the greatest new beginning is the one we know in Jesus.

A festive message from Kieran. How everyone can go from being an outsider to an insider.

This one takes another look at the angels announcing Jesus' birth to the shepherds. We see the shepherd's response to news of peace on earth and reflect on how we respond to the Prince of Peace.

What are you hoping for this Christmas? On this first advent Sunday we spend a few minutes looking at what might be on your list and what is on God's.

Lucy shares about God’s restoration story and why caring for creation is an integral part of it.

In this, the final message in our 'Go Global' series, Jim encourages us to start local but think global. We look in the book of Acts, at the church in Antioch, as a model for the kind of church we could be - with a commitment to their local area as well as a big global vision.

As we continue our Go Global series, we welcome Lex from Cape Town South Africa, who encourages us that we can’t go anywhere without the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit.

Dave Holden, who leads the New Ground family of churches that we are part of, joins us and asks us a question; what kind of church is The King's Church Mid-Sussex? Are we going to be a 'Go Global' church that has a heart to be on mission to the ends of the earth?

When Jesus was being led out to be executed, Simon from Cyrene was forced to carry the cross behind him. How can we help get the message of the cross to where it needs to be?
