ChristChurch London Podcast

What are the characteristics that God wants to develop in our lives, and how does the Holy Spirit help us to grow in these areas? This week Andy Tilsley will look at Paul’s teaching in Galatians 5 about the fruit that the Holy Spirit wants to develop in us.

Does God communicate with people, and if so how can we hear Him? In this talk, David will look at ways in which God speaks today, and help us to learn how to hear Him better, discern what He is saying, and then be obedient to what He asks us to do.

As he sent them out, Jesus promised his disciples that they would receive power to equip them for the mission ahead. At the outset of this new sermon series, David looks at what it means to be empowered by the Spirit, and how we can live effective lives as Christians in twenty-first century London.

In this final song, Habakkuk turns back to God in worship, now convinced of His power and faithfulness. The series ends by looking at how we can have peace and joy that transcend our circumstances, learning to take comfort in His promises that He will ultimately be victorious and put all things to rights.

How can we find sustained joy in difficult times? In this talk we look at Habakkuk 3:17-18 and Deuteronomy 26:1-11 and consider how learning to trust God in the good times prepares us for the difficult times by (i) teaching us gratitude, (ii) cleansing our hearts and (iii) retelling our story.

God answers Habakkuk’s second complaint by assuring him that He sees all that is going on, and will hold man to account for his actions. This talk addresses the dangers of pride, violence and injustice, looks forward to the day when God will put all things to rights, and teaches how in the meantime the righteous can live by faith.

Who was Habakkuk? Why was he writing? And why are we spending four weeks reading about him? In this talk we explore the context behind the book of Habakkuk and consider how to understand what is going on when it looks like God is absent.

As we reach the end of our series in John's Gospel, Liam looks at the story of Easter Sunday in John 19-20, considering how Jesus' resurrection is the eighth great sign, which promises New Creation.

Drawing on Philip Greenslade's 'Voice from the Hills', Tim uses the seven last words Jesus spoke from the cross to remind us of the meaning of Good Friday and what the events of that day teach us about God.

We all want to prosper in life; to know success and security, but so much of the advice on offer ultimately fails and disappoints. In this talk, David will explore how Jesus’ claim to be the true vine enables us to live fruitful and effective lives.

In a world where many people claim to know the way to happiness, doubt the existence of truth, and just want to live their own lives however they want, what should we make of Jesus’ exclusive claim that he is the way, the truth and the life?

What is a biblical view of time? How should we live as disciples of Jesus in a fast-paced world? In this podcast, Dr Os Guinness draws principles from the life of David as found in Acts 13:36.

David Stroud gives the 3rd talk at the evening conference about growing in influence giving examples from the past and explaining the lessons that we can learn from them. The secret of success in life is to be ready when a man’s time has come - Benjamin Disraeli

What does it mean for a civilisation to call itself 'Christian'? Can we really change culture? What would it mean to see a New Christian Renaissance in our day? Dr Os Guinness tackles these and several other big questions in the first of his messages from the conference.

What is my calling? How do I find it? Is calling only for certain Christians? In his second talk at the Everything Conference 2012, Dr Os Guinness challenges us not to sit around waiting for a ‘special calling’, or to think that those who are employed full time by churches or missions organisations are more involved in God’s work than those in so-called ‘secular’ employment. “Jesus,” he explained, “never had part-time disciples. It’s everyone, everywhere in everything.”
