What does it look like to live a life that is IN Christ? Paul makes it clear there are some things that we need to die to, and put to death but also there are some things we need to put on. These things ultimately lead to our peace and a life pleasing to the Lord.Oleh King's Church London

What gives you the right to call yourself a Christian? Some in the Colossian church were declaring all kinds of ways to judge whether or not someone was "in Christ" but Paul sets them straight - Christ is the only Qualifier and faith in Him is all that you need.Oleh King's Church London

How do we stop ourselves from drifting away from Jesus? Paul in this section of the letter wants to highlight some of the traps we can fall into as those IN Christ Jesus and the way that we can be saved from them.Oleh King's Church London

Paul’s favourite way of describing us is to say that we are “in Christ.” In this passage, Paul shows how his ministry revolves around a mystery that leads to maturity: the astonishing reality that Christ is in us, and we are in Christ.Oleh King's Church London

During the time when Paul wrote his letter to the church in Colosse, there were debates and controversies surrounding the identity of Christ. The church found itself navigating these disputes, influenced by the diverse cultures, ideas, and philosophies present in the city. This week, we are focusing on Jesus, the Son of God, as He is revealed as th…

Today we start a new series on Paul’s letter to the Colossians. Paul begins as he often does, with thanksgiving and prayer – but his prayers tell us a lot about the nature of a fruitful and ultimately meaningful life.Oleh King's Church London

If you missed last Sunday or Vision Sunday the week before, Steve Tibbert, our senior pastor, shared some important news about the future leadership of King’s. You can watch the full interview with Steve & Deb, Joe & Sylvia and Andrew Wilson as they share some of their story and heart for the future of King’s.…

This Sunday Joe Speaks from Isaiah 42:1-4 and focuses on the character and leadership of Jesus Christ. He highlights four key aspects of Jesus: His role as a servant, His humility, His compassion, and His ultimate victory. Unlike many leaders, Jesus came to serve others, bringing justice through self-sacrifice. He offers hope to the broken and weak…

This Vision Sunday our senior pastor, Steve Tibbert, shares some big news with us about the vision and future of King's Church.Oleh King's Church London

Christians believe in the resurrection of the body and the life of the world to come. Today, Andrew shows how Paul describes the future resurrection as sowing a seed, bearing an image, and swallowing a sheet.Oleh King's Church London

Peter writes to a church living in a pagan culture which was persecuting them. Peter encourages the believers to understand who they are in Christ and to be living stones being built into the house of God. He warns them they will feel like exiles and foreigners but that’s ok, just be godly strangers, citizens of another Kingdom but known in the wor…

This Sunday is the last of our 'People in Proverbs' series. Andrew focuses on the "woman of noble character" from Proverbs 31, looking at the translation challenges and explores the diverse qualities attributed to this woman, such as diligence, strength, generosity, fearlessness, kindness, and godliness. Andrew emphasises that this passage is not j…

How do we live as wise people? The Proverbs are so helpful, and Proverbs 26 describes 4 characters (The Fool, The Sluggard, The Quarrerlsome and The Deceiver) as a word of warning and how to conduct ourselves.Oleh King's Church London

Proverbs teaches us godly wisdom using different characters and rhetoric. Today, we meet Lady Wisdom. King Solomon personified wisdom as a desirable lady to persuade his sons to desire wisdom above all else. As we see the Right, Rewarding and Redeeming nature of wisdom, we see our Saviour, Jesus Christ, who calls out to us daily to receive life and…

This week’s preach is about The Simple character in Proverbs 9. We don’t like to admit we’re simple or foolish – surely we just need a little bit of wisdom! In reality we are all called to make a daily choice to go in and eat with wisdom or folly. However ‘Simple’ we are, wisdom is on offer and more than that a relationship with the all-knowing, wi…

Proverbs teaches wisdom by introducing several characters who show us what the wise (or foolish) life really looks like. Today we meet one of the most ridiculous: the Sluggard.Oleh King's Church London

Today we start a new series on People in Proverbs and we begin in Proverbs 3:1-18.Oleh King's Church London

Today we finish our 1 Samuel series as the kingdom is transferred from Saul to David. Andrew shows us how David, in contrast to Saul, hears the voice of God, receives the valour of God, and sees the victory of God.Oleh King's Church London

Abigail is one of the richest and most appealing characters in the book of 1 Samuel. Here we encounter her as a picture of wisdom, a picture of the church, and a picture of Christ.Oleh King's Church London

This week we will be looking the story of David and Saul in the wilderness in 1 Samuel 24 and 26. These passages show us what it means to trust God in times of uncertaintiy and help serve as a reminder that God’s hand is always at work. We will look at how David’s faith, friends and mercy point us to the true and better David – Jesus.…

Out of control anger and Loyal Friendship, this week we are comparing the differences between Jonathan and Sauls response to David after he has killed Goliath. Jonathan responds with love and loyal friendship, whereas Saul responds with anger and tries to kill David. Davod responds by looking to God for help.…

Today we meet David, the main character of the book, and we are introduced to him through three contrasts: with his brothers, with Saul, and with Goliath.Oleh King's Church London

Today we’re looking at 1 Samuel 13 & 15 and Saul’s deceptive journey into sin. This contrasts with David who write Psalm 51 after he sinned, which is a journey of honest repentance. Finally, we look to Jesus who made the journey from heaven to the cross to deal with sin and offer forgiveness to all who will turn to him.…

1 Samuel 14 might be the most insightful chapter in Scripture on the nature of biblical courage: what it is and how we grow in it. Jonathan and his armour-bearer show us that Christian courage is collaborative, theological, and contagious.Oleh King's Church London

Samuel takes an opportunity in his farwell address to remind the people of the faithfullness of their God and exhualts them follow him with their whole heart!Oleh King's Church London

In 1 Samuel 8-10 we see the transition of God’s people from a people led by judges to a monarchy. And it isn’t a smooth transition. The people make what seems a reasonable request for a king, but in effect it’s a rejection of the one who has been faithful to them. After God warns them of the consequences, they press ahead. But God, in His grace, ta…

Today’s passage sees the ark of the covenant captured by the Philistines, who quickly realise that they have made a mistake and give it back to Israel. Both nations discover that neither idols nor warriors can stand before a holy God.Oleh King's Church London

Today we start a new series on 1 Samuel, and we begin where the book does: with a young woman who cannot have children. Andrew shows how Hannah’s story, and particularly her prayer, applies at personal, national and global levels.Oleh King's Church London

This week we have guest speaker Tim Morfin who is chief executive of TLG. TLG is a national Christian children's charity that helps churches to bring hope and a future to struggling children.Oleh King's Church London

This week, Dimeji discusses the significance of Pentecost, recounting the events of Acts 2 where the disciples received the Holy Spirit. He highlights the unity and obedience of the disciples, emphasising their love for Jesus and expectation of his promises. We also explore how this relates this to contemporary unity within the church, stressing th…

Over the last few weeks, we’ve looked at the significance of the death and resurrection of Jesus. We are often very familiar with the last supper, but this week we will be looking at the “first breakfast” in John 21. In this sermon we will look at how Jesus recommissions the disciples and what that means for them and then in turn what this looks li…

This week, we are looking at the resurrection appearances of Jesus to the women and the disciples in Matthew 28. We can identify with their responses which are filled with emotion: they are afraid yet filled with joy, worshipping Jesus yet some are doubting. Jesus calls them all to follow him and go into the nations, believing He has authority over…

When the disciples heard the news that Jesus had risen from the dead, they reacted in two very different ways. Most of them dismissed it; Peter investigated it. Those two reactions to Easter Sunday are still being played out today.Oleh King's Church London

In the final week of our Reach series, Andrew considers how we actually proclaim the gospel: what it is, why it’s good news, and how we show that it is good news.Oleh King's Church London

How do we reach people for Jesus? We continue our reach series looking at demonstrating. Paul talks about how he both declared and demonstrated the gospel. What does it look like for us to do that? Romans 15 helps us to see it involves God's power in signs and wonders as well as showing mercy.Oleh King's Church London

This Sunday, Hilary explores the crucial role of parenting in reaching the next generation, inspired by Psalm 145:1-21, especially on Mothers Day. We acknowledge the mixed emotions of the day and emphasise the influence of family and church in shaping our faith. We're reminded of the importance of passing faith to the next generation. Hilary highli…

This week we will be looking at how eating together is one of the most effective and important ways to reach people for Jesus. It will require us to understand what it means to practice hospitality in our everyday lives. Jesus' example in Luke 5:27-32 emphasises the power of shared meals and connecting with others. Hospitality in the bible is defin…

The early church thrived and multiplied through a band of emboldened disciples who sought to fulfill the Great Commission to fill the ends of the earth with the glory of God. But they were not always so bold, and in Sunday’s message Andy examines the transformation of Peter from a fearful wreck to a courageous proclaimer of the gospel.…

Reaching people involves answering questions as well as asking them. In Acts 22, Paul gives an “apologetics masterclass” in how to answer, and there is lots that we can learn from him.Oleh King's Church London

Jesus often reached people by asking them questions. Andrew considers some from the start of John’s Gospel, and consider what they can teach us about reaching people today.Oleh King's Church London

What does it mean to be a follower of Jesus? He makes it clear from the outset that it isn’t a passive thing but involves being caught up in his wonderful mission of reaching people. We see this in pattern in the way he calls the first disciples to follow him.Oleh King's Church London

In the final week of the series on pray, we will be looing at the relationship between prayer and worship. Paul demonstrates this as he prays for the church in Ephesians (Eph 3:14-21) ending with a time of worship and praise. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.Oleh King's Church London
