St Basil's Church

Pete James begins a series focussing on the character of God, revealed in the names for God that he gives to his people to draw them into relationship with him. In Genesis 22 God demonstrates to Abraham that He is faithful to provide for all of his needs and Pete shares a practical way that he is currently choosing to live in that reality.

On the first Sunday of the year, Becky Callaghan unpacks what it might look like for us as a church to partner with a move of God through prayer. Focusing on what prayer does in us (growing intimacy and surrender) and what prayer does through us (living lives of intercession and being sent with authority).

As we gathered on New Years Eve, Pete James walked through the Easter narrative as a way of reviewing 2023 by naming where we experienced unmet expectations (Jesus on a donkey), deaths (Good Friday), silences (Holy Saturday), new life (Easter Sunday) and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit (Pentecost). 

Dan Miles suggests that in order for the good news that the angels announce to the shepherds to cause great joy in us, we need to receive it with humility and obedience as Mary did, and follow the example of Jesus who laid down his life for the joy set before him.

Pete Hughes, leader of KXC in London, shares stories from the Asbury revival and three ways in which we can align with what God is doing and offer a more hopeful story to the world around us.

Jonah Horne continues our current series in 1 John, chapter 4, where we’re challenged afresh to love those we encounter in and out of the church. However, there are counter forces, antichrists and spirits of the age that convince us to love in our own strength. Jonah points us back to the cross to see what love looks like in our day-to-day.

Dan continues our new series in 1 John about how in chapter 3 John invites each of us to know how lavishly God loves us and affirms us that we are all called his children.

Pete James tackles 1 John 2 and highlights how John calls followers of Jesus to both a high standard of purity and a high standard of grace before unpacking the importance of obedience in how we mature our communion with God.

Pete James began our series in 1 John by giving an overview of the letter's context and diving into chapter 1. Pete highlights for us how the chapter should inspire awe at the beauty of God and confidence in the victory of Christ as well as inviting us to "take a sledgehammer to shame" through confession."
