In the book of Ephesians, Paul instructs the believers to be dressed in the full armour of God and be ready for a spiritual battle rather than a physical one. What exactly does Paul mean by this and more importantly, how can we put on the armour of God today and be ready. Phil opens the scriptures in part 2 of ‘The Essential Wardrobe’ series and looks at how we can be dressed for the spiritual bat...

The Bible has much to say to the believer in regard to being clothed with a variety of characteristics - but what exactly does this mean for you? Beginning a three part series entitled 'The Essential Wardrobe', Phil begins first by looking at the importance of assessing your 'spiritual' wardrobe whilst addressing what the Bible suggests to be the most important primary garment of them all.

Hay varios personajes en la Biblia de quienes podemos aprender mucho. Seguramente hemos escuchado mensajes sobre Abraham, sobre Moisés, sobre David, quizás sobre Pedro y Juan y Pablo. Pero muchos de nosotros no conocemos bien a Bernabé. Este domingo queremos conocerlo, y conocer mejor al Senor Jesucristo por medio de él.

From King David we learn that it is good to celebrate and dance in the presence of God, but we also have to remember that God is holy and it is for that reason we guard our hearts and apply His word in our lives too.

Many of us feel we need to impress God by presenting a positive status of ourselves. Unfortunately this can affect others in the process when they begin to feel inadequate and fall into the 'negative comparison trap'. The book of Luke records the parable of two men going to the temple to pray to God. Whilst providing useful teaching on how we relate to God, it equally reveals the importance of how...

The bible teaches that when we chose to follow Christ that we should also 'reign in life'. However, why is it that so many Christians feel far from this idealistic position? Looking at the book of Romans, Phil Shaw looks at the key principles that the Paul teaches and how applying them can revolutionise our concept of Christianity. Maybe you need to know your new rights in the eyes of the law of g...

Do you ever find yourselves in a place where it feels like your going backwards and away from the promises that God revealed to you. The very same happened for the people of God who had just left slavery in Egypt! However, they soon found out that a u-turn in their path was all in God's plan and by following it they would walk into their destiny. Maybe you need to accept some u-turns from God rath...

Al vivir aquí en la tierra, Jesús te demostró a ti y a mí que si se puede vivir en santidad, integridad, en el temor de Dios, en total obediencia al Padre; que si podemos vivir una vida recta y no como Dios pero si como hombre bajo el Poder del Espíritu Santo... y al Resucitar nos dio el poder de vencer todo lo que ÉL venció en la cruz, porque con ÉL tenemos la Victoria.

Before Jesus went to the cross, He repeatedly told his followers that He would die and come back to life in three days. However, despite His clear words, some quickly turned to doubt and denial when publicly challenged. Today we’re faced with the same challenge of either accepting Jesus’s words literally or allowing doubt to creep in. Maybe you need to refresh yourself on Jesus’s version of events...

Everyone has heard of Noah and the Ark, but what was the real Noah like? Forget Sunday School pictures or Hollywood movies, Noah is one of the great Bible heroes and an example for Christians today. In this message, Peter Cavanna asks: What is it that we can learn from his life and faith?

As believers, when life seems to be going great and we appear to have all we need around us - is there still something missing? At the beginning of the book of Revelation, Jesus suggests to the church that they can buy 'something' from Him that will help them! As a believer today, is your faith now built on the success of what's been built around you or do you need to examine yourself and discover...

The Baptism with the Holy Spirit - an experience available for all Christians, bringing empowerment for evangelism and witness - is accompanied in the Bible and today by the phenomenon of speaking in tongues. Why did God choose this strange sign? What does it mean? Peter Cavanna shares some fresh thoughts that you may never have considered before about speaking in tongues! Warning: this message ma...

Luke's Gospel records the miraculous healing of a woman who had been crippled for eighteen years. Jesus is still setting people free from 'crippling conditions' - whether physical, psychological or spiritual. You were not born with a restriction and it is time to ask the Saviour to say 'You are loosed! Guest speaker Nesbert Mhondoro opens the Word (Mattersey Hall).

When believers receive the free gift of God, they can either leave it there or pursue God for more. When Apostle Paul's wrote his letter to the church in Ephesus, he began by reminding the believers of who they are in Christ. However Paul continued to pray that they also discovered more than the gift they had received. In this message, Phil looks at what Paul encouraged the believers to discover a...

Being a Christian in the world today is certainly a challenge when surrounded by temptations that can easily divert us to walk the wrong path. The danger then is that we become just like a 'sleepwalker' and become oblivious to the desired route God intended us to follow. In this message, Phil looks at the advice from Apostle Paul to help us walk the desired path where we should also discover the w...

In the book of Ephesians, Paul said we've been created for a life of good deeds that God prepared in advance for us to do. However, what are these deeds Paul is referring to and how can we ensure we live them out in our own lives and indeed the local church? The Bible is very clear that everyone has been created for a unique purpose and we should never hold back from God's call to service. In this...

King's Church recently moved into a new season following the induction of its new minister Phil Shaw. In this special 'Vision Day' message, Phil explains what characterises King's Church and his vision for the days that lay ahead. Focusing on the supernatural vision that God showed Peter in the book of Acts, he shows us how we can react to the 'bigger picture' and discover our personal place to su...

We've all experienced that feeling of not being ready for the 'surprise visitor' when we least expect it! However, what would you do if Jesus asked to visit your house when you hadn't prepared for him? The book of Luke records this exact scene for a man called Zacchaeus who was simply curious of who Jesus really was. In this message Phil Shaw shows what he discovered and how we can also be affecte...

Aprendimos del Rey David que esta bien celebrar y danzar en la precencia del Senor, tambien tenemos que recorder que Dios es Santo y por esta razon tenemos que guarder nuestros corazones y aplicar su palabra(instrucciones) como El nos la ensena.

When it appears that all hope is lost and we find it difficult to see a light at the end of the tunnel, the temptation is to give up on God or ourselves. The Prophet Ezekiel witnessed an extraordinary vision that revealed God's perspective of Israel's situation and a way forward in the 'valley of the impossible'. In this message Phil Shaw looks at Ezekiel's response and the way we can find new hop...

For many people today, the feeling of fear and intimidation is the biggest stumbling block to fulfilling God's plan for our life. The question is, how can we move from the position of feeling frozen with fear, to fighting the fight of faith. Looking at the famous story of David and Goliath, Tom Finnemore reveals some great principles of conquering our fears when faced with the 'so called' giants o...

When the pressures of life seem to come from all sides, we can find it very hard to trust God. The famous story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego reveals the amazing outcome of three men who trusted God when faced with the most extreme threat. Phil Shaw focusses on some the most common areas we're tested by whilst offering biblical guidance to deal with them when it feels like we're 'in the line o...

When we look at the characters God used in the Bible, we soon realise that none of them ever lived up to the mark. Today, God is still looking for the same kind of people who are willing to live by faith and not allow their failures to hold them back. In this message, John opens up the scriptures and shows how being a person of faith will help us to dream the big and believe God for the impossible...

Ningún cristiano puede tener una vida más elevada que su vida de oración. Nosotros como cristianos debemos orar y tener una vida en comunión diaria con el Señor Jesús. Así como Jesús les enseñó a orar a sus discípulos y también Juan el Bautista, aquí tenemos 4 niveles de la oración que nos enseña el como orar guiados por el Padre Nuestro.

Many of us can be attracted to famous personalities that influence our lives today! However when we look at the life of Jesus Christ we can soon identify a magnetic personality that will always supersede anyone we could ever meet. In this message spoken at the induction service for the new Minister at King's church, John Partington describes the attractive nature of Jesus Christ and how we can res...
