They were witnesses to and participants in the victory of Jesus Christ, and therefore they were utterly unyielding in the face of opposition.

February 11, 2024 18:06 - 37 minutes - 51 MBThe passage from Acts 2:42-47 is highlighted as an idealised example of their devotion to teaching, fellowship, sharing, and prayer. The video emphasises communal identity's importance and challenges Western society's prevalent individualistic thinking.

The World Turned Upside Down // 1 The Apostles - Stephen Dawson // Acts 1:1-5, 12-14
January 07, 2024 11:50 - 40 minutes - 56 MBContinuing from the Gospel, Luke seems to refer to the ascension three times. There’s overlap as well as continuity between the start of Luke, its end, and the start of Acts. This period - the resurrection of Jesus - is clearly emphasised to show its importance to the birth of Christianity - the event that Luke is aiming to give an ‘orderly account’ of. The resurrected presence of Jesus and the commissioning of the disciples (as well as their subsequent empowerment by the Spirit) is theref...
Revelation at Christmas // 3 From Animals to Angels - Tobi Ford-Western // Revelation 5 and Luke 2
December 24, 2023 11:34 - 34 minutes - 46.7 MBIn "From Animals to Angels" Tobi takes a look at the Revelation 5 worship of the nations, along with the Revelation 5 worship of creation, in what is quite possibly, the happiest chapter in the bible.

Discover how Jesus, born to bring light to a dark world, invites us to turn away from self-centered worship and find hope, joy, and restoration in His Kingdom. Join us in adoration as we reflect on The Revelation of God through the birth of Jesus.

December 10, 2023 16:10 - 40 minutes - 37.5 MBIn "From Majesty to Manger" Tobi takes a look at the Manger of Christmas contrasted against the majesty of Revelation. Beholding the divinity seen in Revelation against humility seen in the incarnation. In the process we consider the 24 Elders and 4 Living Creatures and what they mean, in this context.
Virtual Jesus // 10 I Am He - Neville Jones // John 18:1-11
November 26, 2023 12:50 - 30 minutes - 42.2 MBWhatever we might think about Jesus, we all have created a ‘virtual Jesus’ in our minds. The real Jesus constantly challenges us. The real Jesus can’t be put in a box. In this final encounter, Jesus is about to be arrested and when He simply pronounces, ‘I am He’ soldiers are literally knocked off their feet. The Jesus of eternity, the Jesus of history, the Jesus of today and forevermore is still doing this. Still surprising us, still with the power to knock us to the ground and build us...
How to Care for our City // #LiveLunch Season 16 Episode 7
November 21, 2023 16:44 - 29 minutes - 54 MBOn Tuesday we continued our weekly podcast 'Live Lunch' where we unpack our Sunday teaching and answer your questions live. We had Rachel Fellingham along with Matt Carvel and Yohaan Philip discussing Jesus’ heart for the vulnerable in our city.

How Do I Abide In Jesus? // #LiveLunch S16E6
November 15, 2023 15:10 - 33 minutes - 60.1 MBOn Tuesday we continued our weekly podcast 'Live Lunch' where we unpack our Sunday teaching and answer your questions live. We had George Benson along with Christina Omoloso and Yohaan Philip discussing Jesus’ claim that He is the 'true vine'.
Virtual Jesus // 9 I Am the True Vine - George Benson // John 8:48-59
November 12, 2023 13:30 - 35 minutes - 48.3 MBSunday school impressions of Jesus can be of a feeble kind, where Jesus is just nice and wouldn’t hurt a fly. He’s no threat, He can be ignored. He probably wouldn’t be able to survive today’s social-media rage-fuelled climate and he would melt into the background just like other ‘snowflakes’ - the world today likes opinionated, brazen leaders, not weakling nice guys. On a personal level, we want those who will bring real change and power to our lives. Hidden in a horticultural analogy, J...
Can I Trust My Feelings as Truth? // #LiveLunch Season 16 Episode 5
November 08, 2023 13:23 - 32 minutes - 58.1 MBOn Tuesday we continued our weekly podcast 'Live Lunch' where we unpack our Sunday teaching and answer your questions live. We had Jess along with our hosts Matt Carvel and Yohaan Philip discussing Jesus’ claim that He is the truth.
Virtual Jesus // 8 Irrelevant Jesus - Rich Joseph // John 14:1-7
November 05, 2023 17:10 - 36 minutes - 49.9 MBWhat is most important to me is my truth. What I feel is my reality. My experiences are my existence. Whatever Jesus said thousands of years ago, might be interesting, but it's hardly relevant to my life right now. Into the context of the deeply personally defined ideas of truth of today, Jesus makes a startling claim, “I am the Truth’. Not even, I am true, but I am truth itself. Truth about life. Truth about existence. Truth about me and truth about you, is found in him.
Is Jesus The only Way? // #LiveLunch Season 16 Episode 4
November 02, 2023 12:41 - 29 minutes - 40.5 MBOn Tuesday, we continued our weekly podcast 'Live Lunch' where we unpack our Sunday teaching and answer your questions live. We had Matt Carvel along with our hosts George Benson and Yohaan Philip discussing Jesus’ claim that He is the Way. What does He mean and how do we know this is true?
Virtual Jesus // 7 Guru Jesus - Matt Carvel // John 14:1-7
October 29, 2023 12:00 - 36 minutes - 33.4 MBJesus. One of many spiritual sages over the span of human history, offering a path to enlightenment, right? Another voice from many that we can listen to as we see fit. None should be elevated above others - they’re all equally valid. So goes many people’s attitudes to the words of Jesus. But Jesus said, ‘I am the Way’. He didn’t see himself as offering an alternative, but the definitive and exclusive way to eternity. How can such an emphatic claim be taken seriously in the pluralistic world...
Virtual Jesus // 6 I Am The Door - Matt Carvel // John 1:1-18
October 22, 2023 11:30 - 31 minutes - 29.1 MBReligion. Famously the ‘opium of the masses’. A trick. An illusion. A way to control people. Although some may see the claims of Christianity as a trap, Jesus in his own words claims, ‘I am the Door’. In a world of a myriad of options, could this be a door worth opening? What is behind it? Is this another confidence trick or a promise that can be trusted?
How Do We Deal With Death? // #LiveLunch Season 16 Episode 3

Virtual Jesus // 5 I Am The Resurrection and the Life - Tobi Ford-Western // John 11:1-44
October 15, 2023 12:00 - 46 minutes - 84.5 MBTo many, the idea of giving your life to Jesus would be the end of the type of life we really want to live. It’s a death to my own autonomy, it’s death to certain relationships or habits or behaviours that I enjoy. It’s ‘game over’. And perhaps that’s why Christianity is only for people who mess up their lives and are really desperate. But Jesus says to come to Him is not ‘game over’, it is life only just beginning. He is the resurrection and the beginning of life that lasts forever. Wh...
Virtual Jesus // 4 Moral Jesus - I Am The Light Of The World - Matt Carvel // John 8 - 12 - 20
October 08, 2023 15:11 - 39 minutes - 36.3 MBAnother oft imagined perception of Jesus is a moral teacher who dispensed guidelines for life. The moral, ritualistic context of the Feast of Tabernacles, complete with shining lamps, is the backdrop for Jesus’ mighty claim, ‘I am the Light of the World’. The religious leaders are quick to jump on Jesus here, challenging the authority of his testimony. Jesus replies, ‘you judge according to the flesh’ and instead appeals to the witness of His Father. Jesus is not a moral system. In fact ...
What Does It Look Like To Follow The Good Shepherd? // #LiveLunch Season 16 Episode 2

Virtual Jesus // 3 I Am the Good Shepherd - Neville Jones // John 10:1-18
October 01, 2023 16:55 - 38 minutes - 53.2 MBWe live in an age that is highly sensitive to ‘toxic leadership/authority’ figures, and understandably so. Toxic authority and the abuse of power is horrific. If Jesus demands people submit to his leadership, then he must be toxic too. Yet, Jesus boldly and graciously claimed, ‘I am the Good Shepherd’. Could this really be good news? Is this an authority that avoids the toxicity we have become so familiar with?
How Does Jesus Truly Satisfy? // #LiveLunch S16E1
September 26, 2023 19:59 - 24 minutes - 22.1 MBOn Tuesday we continued our weekly podcast 'Live Lunch' where we unpack our Sunday teaching and answer your questions live. We had Christina Omoloso and Tobi Ford-Western along with our hosts Yohaan Philip and Matt Carvel discussing the topic of Jesus truly being the bread of life and what that practically looks like for us as Christians.

Virtual Jesus // 2 Cancelled Jesus - Tobi Ford-Western // John 8:48-59
September 24, 2023 17:11 - 40 minutes - 56.3 MBJesus said many things that people today find hard to swallow. Some of what the Bible says is simply, ‘yuck’ to many modern hearers. It may be surprising to realise that the hearers in Jesus’ day also found his message distasteful and unpleasant! Crowds that had gathered soon turned away when Jesus said, ‘I am the Bread of Life’. Jesus may have been cancelled at the time, but his offer to satisfy us, spiritually and eternally is still held out to all today.
Virtual Jesus // 1 Relic Jesus - Matt Carvel // John 8:48-59
September 17, 2023 12:00 - 33 minutes - 46.5 MBWhile some might be sceptical, most people today accept that Jesus was a real person in history. But they leave him there, consigned to history, a relic, of interest only to the historian. He might have been a good teacher, but little more. But this harmless, good teacher of history is a ‘Virtual Jesus’. He doesn’t exist. Jesus, faced with the religious leaders of his day, boldly claimed to be divine, with the words, ‘Before Abraham was, I AM’.

Summer in the Psalms // Psalm 23 - Steve Walford
August 06, 2023 11:00 - 34 minutes - 47.7 MBSteve Walford shows us that Psalm 23 teaches a lot about life, particularly comparing life to a long-distance walk with ups and downs, with Jesus leading and guiding us. He emphasises that Jesus is always with us, even in the darkest valleys of life. Jesus knows us personally, leads us to the best places, is always with us, and lavishly provides for our needs. Steve invites us to embrace Jesus as our shepherd and follow Him in our walk through life.
Buried // 14 Joseph Dies - Matt Carvel // Genesis 50
July 30, 2023 11:00 - 33 minutes - 45.6 MBMatt Carvel looks at the public and private reactions to Jacob's death, as well as the ongoing fragility of the relationship between Joseph and his brothers.
Buried // 12 Owning your truth - Matt Carvel // Genesis 47
July 16, 2023 11:00 - 36 minutes - 33.7 MBThe main focus of Sunday's passage is Jacob's journey to Egypt and how his family navigates living in a foreign land. Matt parallels between Joseph's family navigating Egypt and how Christians navigate a world that may be hostile to their beliefs. When Pharaoh asks Jacob how old he is, Jacob responds with a negative view of his life. Matt highlights the significance of Jacob blessing Pharaoh, indicating that Jacob understands his purpose as a carrier of God's blessing. He encourages Christia...

July 09, 2023 19:49 - 41 minutes - 57.2 MBIn this talk, Tobi Ford-Western looks at the need for biblical tools to navigate through physical and spiritual famines. He highlights the character development of Joseph, who has learned humility and maturity through his hardships and challenges. The story of Joseph is not outdated but rich in wisdom and guidance for navigating the challenges of the present day.
Why Does God Test Us? // #LiveLunch Season 15 Episode 8
July 04, 2023 15:05 - 30 minutes - 42.4 MBThis week on Live Lunch, Matt Carvel, George Benson and Rachel Jeffs discuss how and why God tests us. How do we know when we are being tested? How does God shape us through trials? Are we to be joyful during trials?
Buried // 10 A Test of True Repentance - Matt Carvel // Genesis 44
July 02, 2023 11:00 - 36 minutes - 49.8 MBIn this talk, Matt Carvel explains that this testing was done by Joseph to see if his brothers had truly changed and were remorseful for their past actions. He draws connections to the Bible's instances of testing and trials, explaining that these are used by God to reveal and shape one's heart. Going through difficult times can be confusing and make us question why God allows it, but we must keep seeing the big picture and having faith in God's plan.
Buried // 9 Return to Grace - Matt Carvel // Genesis 43
June 25, 2023 14:17 - 36 minutes - 49.5 MBA story of Grace. The brothers return, burdened with guilt. They return with double the money, hoping to pay back the debt they owe. They are invited into the palace, trembling at the prospect of judgement and retribution. They receive a feast. Their seats had their names on and they were amazed at the lavish banquet laid out for them.
