The agent of change in a changed world

2026/09/22

William Taylor - With over 650 million members, Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity comprises the fastest-growing religious movement in the world. One in sixteen people worldwide is part of this movement. The events of the Day of Pentecost, recorded in Acts 2:1-21, continue to impact the world today. But what happened? What did it mean? And what, exactly, is Pentecostal Christianity?

The foundations of this changed world

2026/09/15

William Taylor - Foundations matter – as those who work on the 40th floor of the Gherkin will tell you! And the bigger the project, the more important the ground on which it is built. The New Testament repeatedly emphasises the trustworthiness of those on whom Jesus' kingdom is built. We will see in Acts 1:12–26 that their credentials are impeccable.

The moment the world changed forever

2026/09/08

William Taylor - There are multiple contenders for ‘the moment the world changed’. The invention of penicillin? The World Wide Web? 9/11? AI? But the opening verses of Acts point us to events of a completely different order that have radically transformed human existence forever. Hear how you can benefit from God’s agenda in this changed world.

How can you have faith that trusts and follows Jesus?

2026/09/01

Simon Rafferty - The Christian life is hard. For many of us, the finish line is likely to be decades away. So what will keep us going? What – or rather, who – should we ultimately look to?

How can you have faith through good times and bad times?

2026/08/25

Titus Waldock - Why does faith seem to “work” for some people, while others who trust God still suffer? Hebrews 11 shows us real faith can look like triumph or hardship, because its hope is fixed on something better than either.

How can you have faith when it means difficult choices?

2026/08/18

Nim Anderson - Moses grew up with the best Egypt had to offer, and walked away from all of it. Nim looks at Hebrews 11:23-31 and asks what's really stopping us doing the same: fear, treasure, or just not making a habit of it.

How can you have faith when it means missing out now?

2026/08/11

Archie Mowatt - FOMO shapes so many of our decisions. But what if the bigger danger is missing out on God's future promises? In Hebrews 11:17–22, we'll see how faith helps us hold good things loosely, trust God when obedience is costly, and live with confidence that death is not the end.

How can you have faith in a heavenly city beyond this world?

2026/08/04

Ian Bright - What if the career, home and security we're building today aren't our ultimate destination? Explore how Hebrews 11:8–16 shapes our present decisions around a future we cannot yet see, and why the promise of a 'better country' changes how we live in the here and now.

How can you have faith that God accepts you?

2026/07/28

Gabor Szarka - Most of us are interested in the legacy we leave behind. In this talk Gábor will explore from Hebrews 11:4–7 how a life lived by faith leads to a far greater legacy than any professional or personal accomplishment.

How can you have faith in something you can't see?

2026/07/21

Will Trump - 'I wish I had your faith.' If you've ever heard that (or thought it), listen to what the author of Hebrews says. Find out what faith actually is, and why the evidence for it is sturdier than the feeling.

Empty religion

2026/07/14

William Taylor - With tears in his eyes, Jesus speaks some of his strongest words of judgement declaring the end of religion and calling all to his beautiful kingdom.

Deathly religion

2026/07/07

William Taylor - 'Religion does more harm than good.' Find out from Matthew 23:25-33 why Jesus Christ agrees!

Blind religion

2026/06/30

William Taylor - Jesus warned his disciples about hell. Hell exists. Hell is real. Hell will be populated. Hell is forever. Hellish religion leads people to hell. It can look impressive - it is dangerously deceptive. And hellish religion is the default option of the City.

Hellish religion or heavenly relationship

2026/06/23

William Taylor - In Matthew 23:1-12 Jesus denounces human religion and provides a vital warning to us. The contrast between what Jesus offers, and the religion of his day could not be more stark. One is steeped in humility and is heavenly – the other oozes hypocrisy and is hell-bound.

Amazing grace

2026/06/16

Paul Williams - In Luke 7, Jesus meets a woman whose life had gone badly wrong. We will see both the depth of God's grace and its power to transform. It's a challenging and deeply encouraging passage that speaks to all of us, whatever our past.
