The Needy Crowd

In our first Summer Nights talk Lydia kicks off our series called 'Encounters with Jesus' and speaks to us about one of Jesus' most famous miracles, the Feeding of the 5000. She discusses how we need Jesus' abundance in our lives because we are needy and because we are inadequate without Him. She goes on to say that Jesus can provide us with everything we need and more and how He can use us in our weaknesses.

Resourcing Church Sunday

On Resourcing Church Sunday Jago spoke about our vision as a church not to “grow to grow”, but to “grow to give”. The sermon included encouragements from where we have planted or been revitalising churches, and also exciting possibilities about how this might develop in the coming year. The prayer is that we might be a church teaching about Jesus “with all boldness and without hindrance”.

Acts 28:23-31

New Wine

In our second 'Party Time?' talk Jamie explains our need for new wine and new wineskins. As well as understanding a little chemistry, we also need to know the cultural and religious backdrop to this parable so we don’t oversimplify what Jesus says. We also need to avoid the trap of holding the parable at arm’s length when it is primarily about us. And although Jesus appears to have come to subvert the norms, he is actually fulfilling all of scripture and demonstrating what his coming kingdom tastes, looks and feels like. This experience is far more dynamic, exciting and powerful than we could imagine.

Rebuild

In the final sermon in our Re:boot sermon series, for Pentecost Sunday, Jago speaks on the importance of desiring gospel growth, and the paradox that to actually see growth delivered, we need to desire other things more than growth. As we long for a rebuilding of God's church across South London, that will include a longing to see God rebuild us by the power of His Spirit.
