The King's Church Mid-Sussex

In the New Testament prophesying is no longer limited to isolated figures. All are encouraged to covet to prophecy. Hearing God’s word intensifies the awareness of his presence in the church.

It’s Pentecost Sunday!! As we remember the events of 2000 years ago, in Jerusalem, when God poured out his Spirit on the first disciples, Jim speaks of the huge implications of this event - both globally and personally!

Christianity isn’t meant to stay mint-in-the-box but gets lived out with all sorts of people. This one takes a closer look at the radical ways Jesus invites us to love like Him living for Christ alone together.

We have been raised with Christ. What does that mean for how we live on earth? The Apostle Paul says that because of the gospel, we need to 'take off' those things that were associated with our old life - specifically our sexual ethics and our use of words.

Halfway through his letter to the Colossians, Paul reminds them of the resurrection of Christ and the identification of Christians with him. We look above. And then Paul speaks about the return of Christ as the great event towards which we look forward.

At the start of a new term, Jim reminds us of our vision to love God and love people so that lives and communities are transformed. This will happen as we spent time with Jesus, become like Jesus and do as Jesus did.

This one’s about recognising the sort of things that can derail our faith in Christ alone and how we help each other avoid them.

Some Colossians wanted to complicate the gospel by adding irrelevant rules & regulations, robbing the believers of their peace & joy. Paul reassured them of their union with Christ in his death, burial & resurrection & declared their complete forgiveness & freedom from guilt. Jesus set them free.

One ordinary woman encounters the risen Jesus. Kieran explores the relevance of this to us today.

Paul has a warning for the church in Colossae - don't be deceived by clever arguments and lies. And his answer to not being deceived is Jesus - who holds all wisdom and understanding. How do we identify and counter the clever arguments that throw us off course? Dan continues our series on the book of Colossians.
