Bethlehem: a Place of Grace -

July 10, 2022 00:00 - 1.4 KB

As we continue our series in the book of Ruth, Luke focuses on the place the story happens at the end of chapter 2. It’s a place where Ruth found grace, a place of community where God is known; we all need a place like that, and we can all be part of providing such a place for others.

The Holy Spirit Gives the Gift of Prophecy -

March 20, 2022 00:00 - 1.4 KB

The gift of prophecy is highly valued in the New Testament and we want that to be the case at King’s too. Luke explains what this gift is and how God uses it, and then we hear from Hannah about the ways God speaks to her and how we can all grow in this wonderful gift.

The Holy Spirit Gives the Gift of Tongues -

March 13, 2022 00:00 - 1.4 KB

Delighted in Grace -

January 23, 2022 00:00 - 1.4 KB

Sudden changes of plan can be frustrating and distressing, but God can use these moments to form humility in us – and this will release incredible grace in our lives.

Failing -

December 05, 2021 00:00 - 1.4 KB

The book of Nehemiah ends with a profound sense of anti-climax as God’s people continue to live unfaithfully. This points us to Jesus as the only hope that any of us have. He wants to use the very things that Israel neglected to do us good.

Covenanting -

November 28, 2021 00:00 - 1.4 KB

The rebuilding project in Jerusalem ends with a recommitment to the covenant between God and his people. But what is a covenant and what does it mean for us? Nathanael looks at Nehemiah 9:38-10:39 to unpack it for us.

Reading -

November 21, 2021 00:00 - 1.4 KB

People are reading the Bible less than ever before – it’s a radical choice that most people don’t make. Nehemiah 8 shows us how wonderful and life-changing reading and hearing and obeying God’s Word can be.

New Ground Sunday, November 2021 -

Psalm 104 – Caring for Creation -

October 31, 2021 00:00 - 1.4 KB

Psalm 104 is a song of celebration about God and His creation, a glimpse and a taste of creation as it should be – and how it will one day be again. It isn’t currently like this, and the Bible gives us a unique perspective on this, and motivation to change.

Persevering -

October 24, 2021 00:00 - 1.4 KB

Soon after the rebuilding of Jerusalem began, God’s people faced opposition. Jesus promised us this too (John 10:10), so how do we persevere? Raphael shows us what the enemy is trying to do and how we can overcome opposition in our lives.

Building -

October 17, 2021 00:00 - 1.4 KB

Nehemiah 3 tells us that the work of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem involved everyone. This should be the same for church life, and Dan looks at three key factors that should help us realise this and live accordingly.

Doing the Messy Work -

October 10, 2021 00:00 - 1.4 KB

Sometimes we’re faced with tasks in the building of God’s Kingdom that feel difficult, messy, and unpleasant. Continuing our series in Nehemiah, James looks at the story of The Dung Gate, and reminds us that we can trust Jesus in all the work we’re faced with, because what He has already done for us was messier and tougher than we could ever imagine.

Knowing Father, Son and Holy Spirit -

October 03, 2021 00:00 - 1.4 KB

Saying “Yes” to God -

September 26, 2021 00:00 - 1.4 KB

As we continue looking at the story of Nehemiah, Dan speaks on how important it is to be FAT (faithful, available, teachable) as we listen to God and say “Yes” to Him.

Praying -

September 19, 2021 00:00 - 1.4 KB

Nehemiah was a man of action but also a person of prayer whom we can learn much from. His big and little prayers in the first two chapters of the book give us models for speaking to the God who loves to hear and answer our prayers.

Why Small Community Matters -

September 12, 2021 00:00 - 1.4 KB

When the people rebuilding Jerusalem faced growing opposition, Nehemiah called them to form small communities that could work together and fight for one another, and so achieve what God had set out for them. In this message from an all-age service, Dan shows us how committing to and engaging with small groups in our church community are just as important today.

Gathering -

September 05, 2021 00:00 - 1.4 KB

Our new series started by looking at why a large gathering of people is the climax of the story of Nehemiah, and a vital part of God’s purposes for church life today.

God is Self-Sufficient -

August 29, 2021 00:00 - 1.4 KB

In the final message from our series about our Unchanging God, Chris speaks about the all-sufficient nature of God, and what it means for us that He is a God who needs nothing from us.

The God Who Disciplines -

August 22, 2021 00:00 - 1.4 KB

God disciplines those he loves and while this can be painful, it’s actually an expression of his fatherhood to us. He shows his love through offering us transformation, a journey into Christlikeness and the end result is that we can participate in the Holiness of God.

The God Who Sees -

August 15, 2021 00:00 - 1.4 KB

One of the many ways that God is different to us is that He sees everything, there is nothing that He doesn’t see and know about. The first person to realise this in the Bible was a woman called Hagar; in this message Luke helps us see from her story three things that God is looking to do with His vision.

God is Perfect -

August 08, 2021 00:00 - 1.4 KB

God’s perfection may be something that we take for granted, or apply our own understanding of “perfect” to, but there’s much more to be discovered and amazed by when we study the words the Bible uses to tell us that God is perfect.
