ChristChurch London Podcast

This week, David talks about how suffering is part of the cost of bringing in the Kingdom, and how we ought to respond. Looking at the story of Gethsemane and the trial of Jesus, he considers how Jesus was able to embrace suffering even when he was betrayed, abandoned and abused.

In this talk from ChristChurch's Christmas Carol service, David Stroud looks at the true meaning of Christmas and what 21st Century worshippers can learn from Herod and the Magi.

Andy Tilsley looks at the Last Supper and the powerful symbolism of Communion. It's an important examination of Jesus' work at the Cross, the hope of the Kingdom coming in all it's fullness, and how we should live as we take part in communion.

This week Jesus gets angry and violent. Five days before his death, he cleanses the Jerusalem Temple. In this talk, Adrian claims that this cleansing of the Temple represents both the 'end of religion' and 'the beginning of Christianity.'

Amy is the Training Director of the Ravi Zacharias Trust and Director of Programmes for the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics. She speaks at many universities, churches, and conferences, has written several books and lectures on Christian apologetics worldwide.

David Stroud continues our series on the kingdom of God by looking at the parable of the unmerciful servant. We are called to be people who live aware of the great forgiveness of God and forgive one another freely. Sounds easier said than done! This is a talk guaranteed to challenge, and help those struggling with unforgiveness.

This week we continued our journey through the book of Matthew, looking at the subject of the Kingdom of God, and this week's theme in the series was Freedom. We looked at two facets of a problem - the hypocrisy of man-made religion in society and the reality of the original sin in our hearts. We also saw that Jesus provides us with an ultimate answer to the question that every single religion tried to find a solution to.

Nicky Gumbel looks at the question of how to handle discouragement and disappointment, with an inspiring message about the power and reach of the gospel. If you want a talk to encourage and inspire you, this is it!

Andy continues our series on the Kingdom of God at our dedication service for families in the church, by looking at the subject of 'Greatness' and what it really means to be great in the Kingdom of God. It's a counter-cultural message of grace and acceptance, and a picture of the community we're trying to build.

What are the signs that demonstrate the Kingdom? How should that shape our mission? And how can we live out truly radical lifestyles, even in the face of pressure and hostility? David Stroud answers some of these questions in the latest talk of our Kingdom Come series, as we look at Matthew 11:1-24.

Adrian Holloway speaks from Matthew as we continue our series on the kingdom of God, and its message for us in 21st century London life. This week we're looking at the parable of the hidden treasure and the pearl, which has some surprising applications for our lives.

This week we looked at Matthew 5:38-48, and considered what the Kingdom response should be when people wrong us. Jesus taught that we should not retaliate like for like. Neither should we become a 'doormat' for people to trample over. Rather we should respond in such a way as to expose the indignity of what they are doing to us, giving them an opportunity to change.

Today we celebrated six years of ChristChurch London, thanking God for all He has done so far, and looking forward to all He will do in the coming years. We reflected on three aspects of our mission that God is particularly highlighting to us for this year: being witnesses to the resurrection, being a community that loves one another, and being a community of disciples.

This week Andy continued our new series 'Kingdom Come' looking at the theme of the Kingdom in the Gospel of Matthew. Jesus' message of the Kingdom was good news for people from any and every background. We also saw what happens when we receive God's Kingdom and its power in our own lives.

This week we launched our new series 'Kingdom Come' looking at the theme of the Kingdom in the Gospel of Matthew. Jesus was always talking about the Kingdom, and so it follows that his message should be our message too. We saw that Jesus came to bring about the new exodus, the new return from exile, and the fulfilment of all the prophets had foretold.
