In this talk David Stroud will consider habits we should seek to develop if we are to be a blessing to the city for the long haul.

As the people prepare to settle in the land, God gives instructions for how they are to conduct themselves, and the kind of cities they are to build. In this talk, Liam looks at the themes of justice and refuge.

The spies cross over into the Promised Land and encounter a lady named Rahab, who offered them help in order for protection. In this talk, Andy looks at how the church should be a place of refuge, where people can experience the mercy of God.

In this talk, John looks at Paul’s parting instructions to the young Timothy and encourages us to dream of the ways God may choose to use ChristChurch London to make a difference across future generations.

What is the purpose of the church? In this talk, Eleanor Mumford looks at Paul’s letter to the Ephesians and considers God’s plan for the church, in all its diversity.

As the people face their first major battle, God instructs them to overcome by slightly unusual means! This talk looks at how we can trust God, even if His methods seem foolish, and how faith, worship and prayer strengthen us when we face battles in our life.

The people prepare to cross the Jordan, and as with Moses before, the water parts to let them through. In this talk, Liam considers how the story of Joshua points to our need for a New Exodus.

What is true kindness, and how can we cultivate it in our lives? In week five of our Core Habits series, Matt Ellis looks at how we can treat others with kindness, generosity and compassion, modelled on the way that Jesus has treated us.

Paul’s list of the fruit of the Spirit includes gentleness, something that many would not consider a virtue! But to be gentle doesn’t mean to be weak. Gentleness has to do with humility, teachability, and the ability to speak the truth in love. In week four of our series, David looks at the importance of treating others with gentle strength.

We live in a fast-paced city, where people demand instant gratification, and aren’t keen on waiting. This week Tim Frisby looks at James chapter 5, and considers how we can learn to cultivate patience, in a world that is so often characterised by impatience.

Love is the first fruit that Paul lists in Galatians 5, and it is the characteristic that undergirds all of the others. In week two of our new series, Andy Tilsley will look at love – what it is and what it’s not – and consider how we can cultivate a love that builds community and benefits those around us.

What is the fruit of the Spirit and how do we cultivate it in our lives? In this opening talk of our new series, Core Habits, Liam Thatcher looks at Galatians 5:13-26 and considers how the Holy Spirit helps us to develop a healthy character.

In the final week of our Faith Conversations series, Andy Tilsley looks at how we can help people respond to the good news about Jesus, and how we get to enjoy the benefits of his life, death and resurrection.

Christians talk about the death of Jesus as ‘good news.’ But how is the violent death of one man 2,000 years ago good news for us here and now? In the penultimate talk of our Faith Conversations series, Liam will look at the content of the gospel, and how it offers hope for our lives and answers to our deepest needs.

In Luke 7 a woman kisses Jesus’ feet, washes them with her tears, and anoints them with oil; a strangely extravagant action. In this talk, Michael Ramsden looks at what this story teaches us about love and forgiveness, and what it means to experience real transformation.
