King's Church Edinburgh

I AM the Bread of Life -

With so many things claiming to provide satisfaction or meet our deepest desires, Jen Rawson looks at what Jesus meant when he said `I am the Bread of Life’ and how we can find true fulfillment in him.

Growing Up -

Ephesians 4:15 says `we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ’; here Matt looks at how we can keep growing, and help each other to keep growing, so that the church keeps growing, even in the midst of these difficult, socially-distanced times.

I AM the Good Shepherd -

In the first of our in-person meetings in autumn 2020, Chris Rawson looks at Jesus’ statement of “I am the Good Shepherd”.

Learning the Family Song -

One of the things that has made lockdown life hard is the inability to sing together; it’s one way the church family encourage and exhort one another in our relationship with God. Here Dan and Dara, one of the King’s Worship Team leaders, share their thoughts on why singing our worship to God is important, and how to keep at it in these times.

God’s Purpose for You, His Church and the World -

Christianity is an experience of Jesus, and an experience of family. To start our `Iron Sharpens Iron’ series, we invited Don MacMillan to come and speak to us on what it means to be part of the family of God.

Help When I Have Lost Confidence -

Confidence is vitally important for each of us to live life to the full.  Here Chris looks at Moses’ encounter with God at the burning bush to shows us that God himself is the only true and lasting source of our confidence.

Help When I Feel Flat -

Many people are feeling “flat” these days! How can Jesus help us? Here Dan looks at how God’s word explains the roots of and cures for this pandemic of flatness we’re feeling.

Help When I Feel Angry -

Matthew looked at righteous anger and unrighteous anger. Our anger tends to focus on proving how right we are and bringing quick retribution against someone else. God’s anger, on the other hand, is always seasoned with compassion and brings justice.

Help When I Feel Anxious -

One of the common emotions we will experience in these times is worry.  What can we do when we feel anxious in order to know the peace that God promises us? In this message, Dan looks at what the Bible says about worrying, and three things we can do to combat it.

Everyday Joy -

Joy isn’t determined by what’s happening around you; in this message based on Acts 13:52 Dan looks at how early Christians were filled with joy, even though they faced pretty extreme challenges.

Everyday Church -

Church these days looks very different from a few months ago; here Dave Holden, who leads the New Ground family of churches that King’s is a part of, encourages us from Acts 2: 42-47 on how we can still be church in this new normal, and keep growing.

Everyday Leadership -

The church in Jerusalem that we read about in Acts had many strong leadership gifts; leadership isn’t the preserve of the few, and God wants his church to be filled with leaders and influencers – in church, in culture, in homes, in work. Hannah and Dan discuss what that can look like for us today.

Everyday Grieving -

How do Christians respond to loss and death? From the example of the believers in Acts 7:59–8:2, Luke looks at the biblical idea of lament and how we can do this today.

Everyday Opportunities -

Andy shared three secrets to living in a way that invites God to work through you:  Be in community.  Keep your eyes open to what God is doing.  Recognise what God has given you.

Everyday Generosity -

God is generous and He wants His people to be like Him: Acts 4:32-37 summarises the early church’s response. As we look to be generous every day, Luke gives us 14 biblical motivations.

Everyday Equipping -

In this message Matt looks at the story of Philip from Acts 8, who preached the gospel and did amazing signs and wonders amongst people in a culture that hadn’t heard the gospel before. How was Philip equipped to do that?

Everyday Power -

What does it mean to be baptised in the Holy Spirit, and how does the picture of cruise control on a car help us understand it better? Here Matt preaches on the topic of Everyday Power from Acts 2.

Everyday Prayer -

This is the first message in a brand new series called Acts and the New Normal. It’s all about how we can learn from the approach the early Christians took in the face of massive challenge and change in their everyday lives and how God used those challenges and changes to further his purposes and see the world come to know Jesus. We often discover what kind of people we are when faced with solitude and spare time. Most of us find we’re not primarily “constant in prayer people”. But we’re a...

Living with Future Hope -

The news in the last couple of weeks has been filled with the racial injustices we’ve witnessed in the United States. But racism and racial injustice aren’t new sins and nor are they just American ones. Each of us must guard our own hearts against this evil. Here Chris looks at Jeremiah 32 and reminds us that our God is a God of justice. God cares deeply about this issue, therefore we should too.

Living in a New Relationship with God -

In Jeremiah 31, the Old Testament promise “I will be their God and they will be my people” speaks of a time when people will be able to have new relationship with God. In this message Dan helps us see what this new promise, this new covenant, means for us today.

Living as Exiles -

Jeremiah wrote to the exiles in Babylon with God’s guidance on how to live in a difficult time and place. In this message Luke helps us see how Christians today need to live that way, too; remaining close to God and working for the good of those around us in everyday life.

Living in the Love of God

A look at Lamentations 3:21-26, written by the prophet Jeremiah, shows us that living in the love of God is far more important that just keeping calm and carrying on.

More than a healer

More than a healer -

The story of Jesus healing ten lepers and receiving worship from just one of them shows us that God is not only a wonderful healer but our Saviour. As much as we might want our physical circumstances to change, what we need most is to be rescued from our sin.

As Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a donkey (Luke 19:28-40), he demonstrates that he is King, leading all the forces of heaven into battle.
