All Talks

This week, Jo (Central Service) taught from Acts 16 – looking at Peter’s imprisonment in Philippi. We see how worship forms our faith, enables us to live counter-culturally, and brings witness of God’s power to others, as seen in the jailer’s salvation. 

This week Raph Arthur (Mile End Service) looked at the early church’s response to uncertainty through prayer, and its journey with both faith and doubt. We consider what they'd sacrifice and surrender for following Jesus, that ultimately led them to deeper freedom and hope.

Philippa Long teaches from Acts 10 – looking at the Holy Spirit’s outpouring on the Gentiles. By looking at Peter’s journey of embracing God’s inclusive plan for Gentiles, we too see our call to identify our own biases, and to trust in the transformative power of the gospel, even when it means choosing a path of perceived weakness.

This week John focused on Acts 8:26-40, looking at Philip and the Ethiopian Official. We see how the Ethiopian’s conversion demonstrates God’s comprehensive love, and encourages us to follow the Spirit’s promptings to share our faith confidently.

This week, Paige Evans (Central Service) preached on Peter’s encounter with Cornelius in Acts 10. We look at what the story of Cornelius' conversation highlights about God’s character, our prayers, and the invitation to partner with God in his offer of salvation for all people.

This week, Helen (Stockwell Service) looks at Peter’s miraculous release from prison in Acts 12. We look at the tension of how, in one hand, Peter gets miraculously released from jail through the power of prayer, and yet, in the same passage, we read of James’ death. Through it we can see how we’re called to align ourselves with God’s will through prayer, having confidence that he can bring both breakthrough and give us courage in the face of resistance.

In this talk Nicole focuses on Saul's dramatic conversion in Acts 9. The fierce persecutor encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus, leading to a radical transformation. This story powerfully illustrates God's extraordinary grace and use of unlikely individuals to fulfill his purposes, profoundly impacting the early church.

In this Christ Church London talk, Anna explores Saul's dramatic conversion. This encounter with the risen Jesus radically transformed him from persecutor to apostle, revealing God's plan to include all people. The sermon highlights that Jesus calls each of us to follow him and share the gospel, empowered by the Spirit, just as ordinary believers played a vital role in this pivotal transformation.

This week, Hannah Elwyn does a standalone talk for our Mile End service, teaching on the ‘Parable of the Hidden Treasure’ (Mtt 13:44-46). We reflect on how the worth of Jesus and his kingdom means there is no cost too great for us to give, so that we can receive his Presence above anything else in life.

This week, Sam Luck (Sutton Service) focuses on the conversion of Saul to Paul in Acts 9, highlighting how this transformative encounter with Jesus reoriented Saul’s lifelong devotion.
