The journey ahead can often seem challenging and daunting! The key is to acknowledge that we can't do it by ourselves and to follow God and discover his will for our lives. In this message Jean-Louis looks at the importance of choosing to move with God in the days ahead and how we can overcome the challenges in the process.

As we start the New Year we all have different goals we aim to follow in the hope of success. The question is do these goals have any long term benefit and do they point to God's ultimate goal for our lives? In this message, Phil Shaw focuses on the Apostle Paul's discovery of a goal still worth following today that's set for guaranteed success!

The busyness of life can often shift our focus from God and we run the risk of forgetting the promises of God, the reason for our faith and even God himself. In this message Phil Shaw explores the notion that ‘mature’ Christians are just as susceptible to these ‘forgetful moments’ as anyone, and reminds us of the important benefits of God in our lives.

Christmas Day has traditionally become a time when we both give and receive gifts to the ones we love. However, despite all the gifts we desire, there are some gifts we know only God can give and therefore we wait anxiously for their arrival. In this message Phil Shaw looks at events surrounding the Christmas story that may help us to believe for the desires of our heart again, and be surprised in...

Many people all over the world celebrate Christmas in various ways. However the question is do we really know what Christmas is and why we are celebrating this popular time of the year? Phil Shaw focusses on the true meaning of Christmas and asks some very important questions that may change your view on the reason for the season.

In Luke 19 Jesus told the parable of three men who received a gift from their master to operate with until he returned. What gift could Jesus be referring to and how could it help us to operate with before He returns? In this message Phil Shaw looks at the gift from God that's available for us today and how it should be used to operate with as well as receiving it. As in this parable, the reward w...

The story of the lame man healed at Gate Beautiful contains much wisdom regarding the dynamics of church life and evangelism. The secret is to be the 'people of the gate' - standing equally between the prayer room of the temple, with an obvious need for God, and the mission place of the street, where God's servant must believe they have everything they need!

For many Christians, being the person everyone expects us to be can sometimes lead to hiding the real you. In this message Paul Taylor brings to light the challenges we face that can tempt us to wear a disguise that we know others will accept. Let this message challenge you to drop the mask and be true to yourself and others.

As believers in Christ, we are given a heavenly identity to represent His kingdom here on earth. In the book of Matthew, Jesus likens our identity to being 'the salt of the earth'. What did Jesus mean by such a phrase and does this still apply for us today? In this message Jean-Louis looks at the meaning of Jesus's words and what we should expect if we truly live them out.

Jane opens up the passage in Joshua, which outlines God's strategic plan for a church that wants to 'break camp': honouring human leadership, listening to God, overcoming the enemy and committing to a team taking steps of faith. It's time to break camp!

En uno de los Diez Mandamientos, Dios avisa a su pueblo del peligro de los celos y de la envidia de lo que otros tienen. La envidia te será un impedimento a ti, a los demás y a Dios. No hay necesidad de sentir envidia, todos hemos sido bendecidos. Peter Cavanna and Liliana Cassidy.

The difficulties we face on our journey of faith can often feel like we’ve moved one step forward and three steps back! Our immediate response is to perceive these challenges as spiritual attacks when they could actually be orchestrated by God to develop our character for the destination. Could your own attacks be designed to build you rather than break you? Recommended.

Joseph was a man who received godly dreams and saw them fulfilled. God has not changed, so why do we sometimes fail to see our dreams come true? Be a dreamer, not a fantasist, says Peter Cavanna, who unpacks some of the vital character tests that were passed in Joseph's life and need to be today.

The story of Jacob wrestling with God may be peculiar but it has much to say about the nature of suffering and character transformation. God often has to 'oppose' our intended destination to get us back on track. Would you let God wrestle you to affect a major life change today? Recommended.

The criteria for being a Christian is not about being religious. Instead God calls us into a personal relationship with Him so that He can be involved in every area of our lives. In this message Jean-Louis focuses on the book of James, showing that it's God's desire for us to draw closer to Him, so that He can then draw ever nearer to us.

Todos tenemos un llamado de Dios sin importar lo que somos pero tenemos que depender de nuestro Padre Celestial y tener un corazon dispuesto porque en nuestras fuerzas es impossible y con su ayuda todo es posible, recordemos que el Senor Jesus uso y usa a las personas que uno menos se imagina (las mas debiles...)

The call for God’s people to step out in mission both locally and internationally is still as important today as when Jesus first announced the great commission. However are we truly ready to say ‘YES’ to God and trust on His promises? Dave Russon share’s his heart and personal experiences.

The atheist mentioned in the Bible was not a person who did not believe in God, but rather someone who behaved as though God did not exist. It is possible for even dedicated followers of Jesus to have times of 'practical atheism' where life is lived without the comfort nor the fear of the Lord. Peter Cavanna shares this shocking truth from Psalm 14.

When Jesus performed a miraculous catch of fish for Peter and his friends, he also demonstrated how they would soon ‘fish for people’. In this message, Phil Shaw focuses on the importance of the church being ready to reach the lost and what we can expect if we choose to ‘push the boat out’ for God.

On 22nd September, Peter and Jane Cavanna shared their final service as resident leaders at King's Church. This message, originally entitled 'How to Say Goodbye,' is a recording of this special and unique occasion. We part with purpose, prayer and gratitude to God and to one another, says Peter.

As children grow up, parents see it as a sign of maturity when they start to say 'Thank you' for life's good things. Equally, the Scripture exhorts followers of Jesus to be a thankful people, acknowledging God as their source. Gratitude changes our lives. What do you need to give thanks for today?

The first Christians had a passionate conviction that Jesus was soon to return, an aspect of the faith that is often missing in the contemporary church. What will be the signs of his coming and of the end of the age? Peter looks at the amazing words of Jesus Himself about the future of the world.

Sometimes, due to marital dispute, it becomes a challenge for a father to have 'access' to his children. In many ways, this is what sin has done to mankind's relationship with their heavenly Father. In this message, Peter explains the good news of all that God has done to win 'access' to you.

Like a lame man, sitting and waiting for the stirring of Bethesda waters, many people spend their lives waiting for a 'lucky break' and being resentful of others. But meeting Jesus, not dipping in a charismatic pool, is where true contentment and blessing lies today. Obey God and keep upright!

King's Church School of Ministry ran during the summer of 2013, eight evenings of teaching, to prepare God's people for active ministry and mission today. The Holy Spirit is as powerful now as He was in apostolic times. It's time for faith! In this session, the topic is the gift of healing (part 2).
