St Alban’s Fulham - Sunday Service - 12 June, 2022   Starting our new series on 1 John, 2 John & 3 John.

St Alban’s Fulham - Sunday Service - 22 May, 2022 Growing Witness and Opposition (Acts 3:1-5:42)   ACTS   Acts is the story of God’s grace flooding out to the world. Nothing is more prominent in Acts than the spread of the gospel. Jesus promises a geographic expansion at the outset, and Acts follows the news of his death and resurrection as it spreads from a small group of disciples in Jerusalem to Judea, Samaria, and the faraway capital of Rome.   Through the repeated preaching of the gospel to different people groups, the gospel of grace draws them in, constitutes them as the church centred on the grace of Jesus, and then sends them out into the world. Acts is a historical account of how the resurrection of Jesus changes everything through the birth of the early church.

St Alban's Fulham - Sunday Service - 24 April, 2022   This week we look at the story of Jesus eating at Levi's house and what Jesus thought about eating and being in relationship with those who are viewed as difficult or outcasts or sinners.   Clip used from 'The Chosen' series.

St Alban’s Fulham - Sunday Service - 27 March, 2022 Did Jesus show emotion?   Ask Jesus   As we embark on the season of Lent, we again take this moment to consider the person of Jesus. As we think about the extraordinary idea of God becoming human in order to restore our relationship with the Father, we take this opportunity to ‘Ask Jesus’ about what it was like to be “fully God and fully man”, here on earth. Each week, we will unpack a question or collection of questions from our congregation about Jesus.   The opportunity we have here is to learn more about Jesus and what it might look like to be a follower of Jesus. Each week the topic will cover some sensitive ground and potentially some really big existential questions. We will root our response in scripture and the wisdom of theologians and scholars who can help us unpack and ‘humanise’ these big questions.

St Alban’s Fulham - Sunday Service - 13 March, 2022 Why did you choose those 12 people to be the disciples? Did you feel disappointed in them?   Ask Jesus   As we embark on the season of Lent, we again take this moment to consider the person of Jesus.

St Alban’s Fulham - Sunday Service - 6 March, 2022 Luke 15:11–32  | The Parable of the Lost Son   Parables: Ancient  Answers for Today’s Questions   The most distinctive thing about Jesus as a teacher was his consistent and frequent use of parables. The word “parable” means something like “riddle”. Parables are figurative stories that draw on everyday imagery to make a point. Like a riddle, they often require the reader’s or hearer’s attention and consideration. As soon as you think you’ve “figured out” the meaning of a parable, you can be sure that you have missed something and must return to it with fresh eyes. This is why Jesus’s parables have retained their power over the centuries despite the changing times and cultures—they are new every morning and contain wisdom for every new generation.   In this teaching series on parables we are not only seeking to draw attention to and explain some of Jesus’s parables, we are also seeking answers to contemporary issues like the climate crisis, economic distress, and issues surrounding justice. Obviously, the main points of these parables are restricted to their own time and context, but the thing about parables is that as soon as you think you understand them perfectly, some new meaning pops out and strikes you afresh. Our expectation is that these ancient parables from the Great Teacher may hold suggestions or even solutions for addressing some of the most pressing issues of our time.
