All Talks

This Easter Sunday, Jonny Elwyn (Stockwell Service) underscores the revolutionary truth of Christ’s resurrection – a historical moment that, if true, empowers us, and if false, means our faith is pointless and futile.

This Easter Sunday, Jonny May (Mile End Service) teaches from the story of two disciples’ encounter with the risen Jesus on the Emmaus Road (Lk 24). We explore how Jesus’ resurrection gives us a hope that is not just rational, but also redemtpive, reliable, and, above all, a relational hope that we are invited into.

This Resurrection Sunday, Andy (Sutton Service) focusses on the parallels between Jesus’ resurrection (Jn 20-21) and the Eden story in Genesis. We see how the Apostle John portrays Jesus as continuing to write a story of redemption through his followers, who are commissioned to bring others out of darkness into renewed fellowship with God.

This week, we delve into the story of Stephen’s martyrdom in Acts, examining how his life and death illuminate the nature of true Christian faith. We explore how Stephen’s unwavering testimony points to a gospel that transcends all earthly concerns, and allows us to experience the power of the Holy Spirit to see the unseen Presence of Jesus, and to live boldly for him.

This week, Barry invites us to deeply consider the emotional journey of Jesus during his final week in Jerusalem, particularly his entry on Palm Sunday. We explore what stepping into ‘Jesus’s shoes’ reveals about his wide range of emotions, from frustration and anger to joy and compassion, and the weight of responsibility he carried. We’re invited to reflect on seemingly mundane tasks God might ask us to do, and our own feelings of being burdened or insignificant. Ultimately, we contemplate on Jesus’s enduring love and sacrifice, prompting us to ask, ‘Do I understand what Jesus has done for me?’

This week, Nicky taught from Acts 16, exploring Paul’s journey and encounter with Lydia. We considered what it looks like to actively listen for God’s direction, and how hearing God is often interwoven with times of waiting.

This week, Philippa explored the concept of community from Acts, seeing how it forms our identity as people rooted in God’s triune being, covenantal commitment, and love.

In this sermon, Gill explores the concept of community by drawing parallels between the early church in Acts 2 and the close-knit family structures of biblical times. We reflect on the challenge to actively love, forgive, and be available to support one another, and how these principles should shape our understanding of church life.

Why do followers of Jesus become increasingly generous people? This week, Finyin (Central Service) explores this question by unpacking key truths about generosity found in Genesis, along with Jesus’ powerful teachings on money and possessions from Matthew 6.

God is calling us to rebuild and realign our lives with His presence and His kingdom. In this talk, we explore the prophetic call of Haggai, confronting apathy, tearing down idols, and responding to God’s promise of greater glory and peace for His house today.
