God is not a distant God who requires us to work our way up to Him. Instead, he lowers himself in order to lift us up. He doesn’t require us to make ourselves perfectly clean; rather he makes us clean. It also teaches us a lot about true power and success.

In John 18:28-40 Jesus stands before two very different kinds of powers. Religious leaders and Pilate Roman political leader. Both face the same challenge: what will they do when Jesus threatens something they are determined to protect. Are we willing to let Jesus challenge the things we use to make ourselves feel safe, secure and right. The things we reach for in everyday life to protect ourselves, preserve our position, or maintain control?

What if the shame you’re carrying isn’t yours to carry anymore? Why do we keep living under the shadow of past failures, fear and condemnation? And what if Jesus offers us something radically different? Through the story of a woman publicly shamed, we discover a Jesus who meets our worst moments with mercy, breaks the power of condemnation, and invites us into a new way of living.

The heart of the passage is around the identity of Jesus and his relationship with the Father, and what it means to be the children of God.

We’re all longing for a sense of belonging, meaning, and eternal hope – and that ‘thirst’ can only be truly, completely, and wholly met in the person of Jesus.

From the story of the most famous doubter Thomas God has important things to teach us about our own doubts (uncertainty/unbelief), Jesus is not intimidated by them and knows how to reach us.

What happens when Jesus takes us beyond what we already know, understand or believe about God? Nicodemus was intelligent, educated, religious and convinced he had things figured out — yet his encounter with Jesus left him completely confused. Jesus invites him beyond information, performance and certainty, into something he cannot produce for himself: new life by the Spirit. Maybe faith has become more complicated than it needs to be. Maybe you know the traditions and the right answers, but are longing to

Initially prejudiced and dismissive, Nathanael encounters Jesus, who sees his true character. This personal reveal instantly transforms him from a skeptic into a devoted believer.

Our mission as a local church flows from God’s mission. Our mission to SE18, to the borough of Greenwich, isn’t something we started. It’s a mission we stepped into. So the invitation is to ask “God, what are you doing and how can I join you?”

Matthew 11:28-30 is the only place in four gospels where Jesus tells us in his own words about his own heart. This talk is an invitation to listen to Jesus describe himself. If we really believe what he says about himself, it changes the way we come to him, what we expect from him, ultimately the way we live with him.

Have you ever noticed that nothing drifts in the right direction? Everything precious and valuable requires continual attention. And our hearts are no different. 15 years after Israel’s great renewal, they had wept, they worshipped. They renewed their promises. There had dedicated of their relationships, their time and their money. Nehemiah returns and asks one devastating question: “Why is the house of God neglected?”

Giving time to make much of God through worship and celebration. (Nehemiah 12:27-47)

Nehemiah 10 Looks at how Building our lives around God shapes the very ordinary stuff of life. Marriage. Relationship/friendships, Business. Shopping. Work. Money. Giving. Schedules. Rest.

In this powerful message from Luke 5, guest speaker Alan Cass explores the moment Jesus steps into Simon Peter’s boat and reveals a life-changing truth: God often does His greatest work in our lowest moments. The miracle wasn’t really about the fish—it was about surrender, obedience, and discovering what happens when we place what we have into Jesus’ hands.

How do God’s people lose their joy … and how do we experience its renewal? Nehemiah 8 gives us the surprising answer. Not by discovering something NEW, fresh and exciting, but remembering what’s been forgotten.
