Christ Church London Podcast

This week, Joel teaches from the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19, looking at how our journey of faith leads through inevitable walls that invite us to experience God’s unconditional love, and his deep, inner transformation and healing.

This week, Andy explores what it means to ‘walk by the Spirit’ (Gal 5:16) as we surrender to Jesus’ way of life. God fills every follower of Jesus with the Holy Spirit, who is the ultimate source of our transformation. Yet we also have a role to daily ‘keep in step’ with his presence to see this shape our everyday lives.

To start our autumn series, ‘Walking with God’, we begin by looking at our identity and calling as followers of Jesus. Catherine teaches from Ephesians 1, exploring how our truest identity shapes where and how we begin our journey of faith.

This week Joel looks at what’s ahead as we establish our church around three core values: Presence, Formation, and Mission. Over the next few weeks, we’ll unpack what each of these age-old principles mean for us as we seek to follow Jesus together, for the renewal of London.

This week we celebrated Christ Church London turning 20! Andy reflected on our journey so far, and looked at what’s ahead as we establish our church around three core values: Presence, Formation, and Mission. Over the next few weeks, we’ll unpack what each of these age-old principles mean for us as we seek to follow Jesus together, for the renewal of London.

This week, Raph looks at how the Psalms can inspire wonder.

In this talk, Lou shares what we can learn from David’s lament in Psalm 6 as a model for dealing with our own sadness. 

This week, Grace Bolaji teaches from Psalm 106, and looks at how the psalms direct us away from life alone to life together.

This week Adnan teaches from Psalm 4, exploring how the psalms give us a way of transforming our experience of anger as the people of God.

This week Natalie teaches from Psalm 6, looking at how psalms of lament provide a healthy and biblical way for the people of God to process pain and sorrow.

Andy unpacks Psalm 107, which encourages ‘The redeemed of the Lord to tell their story.’ Why are so many of the psalms about the story of God’s people? What’s our story, and how should it shape our lives today? We look at the importance of remembering our story, and how through prayer we can resist the false narratives which swirl around us every day. 

Duncan Campbell defines revival as a community saturated with the presence of God and the restoration of New Testament Christianity in times of decline. In this talk, Joel encourages us to have the faith that revival is possible in London, and that every person has a part to play.

New seasons are opportunities from God to use us in new ways but they can also be tricky to navigate. As Christ Church London enters into a new season, David considers lessons he has learnt which can be applied at both an individual level and for us as a church as whole. 

Andy talks from 1 Corinthians 1 – a passage that was first preached at Christ Church London 20 years ago – and looks at two things which we hope will shape us as a church as we head into a new chapter. Andy explores the themes of weakness and holiness in Corinthians, and what it means for us as a church in the season ahead.

This week, Sarah Cobbold looks at how the psalms of King David were shaped by his own life and story, and how this leads us to bring our own stories – both the highs and lows – before God in prayer. We see how the psalms help us connect to the big story of God, and his presence in the midst of our human experiences.

This week, Anna looks at how the Psalms lead us to a life of honesty before God, others, and ourselves.

Before the book of Psalms dives into prayers, it prepares us to pray. We need a way to realise the largeness of God in the midst of the competing bigness of the world. If we fail here, prayer will be stunted – our prayers will whimper either due to distraction or intimidation. The book of Psalms opens with an analysis of human existence and an invitation to choose a way of life that is fulfilling and rooted in God.

This week, Dave Benson from LICC wraps up our series in the Gospel of Luke by looking at the Road to Emmaus. In this story, Jesus’ journeys with two disciples through their disillusion and despair, and directs them on a different course of hope and salvation through his resurrected life. We explore how the story of Emmaus helps us identify how God is at work in our lives, and how his presence brings transformation to the places and people we encounter in daily life and work.
