Christ Church London Podcast

In this weeks talk Joel examines the biblical pattern for generosity and how it might inspire us to get caught up in Jesus’ vision to transform the city.

This week we gathered all Christ Church London services together for Gather25. Lars Due-Christensen taught from Moses’ experience of the burning bush (Exodus 3), and what this means for our call to approach God’s Presence with curiosity, surrender, and humility, in order to hear his voice and experience his Presence in our own lives.

What is faith? Why is it so important? After the healing of the man at the Beautiful Gate, Joel explores the importance of Peter’s biography of faith, and how faith in Jesus transformed him from a man cowering in the shadows, to one who can stand up in front of thousands to preach the good news of Jesus. 

Andy looks at the story of the stoning of Stephen in Acts 6 and 7, unpacking the amazing vision Stephen has before he dies, and what it means for us today as followers of Jesus. As we pursue God for revival, we also examine how we should live while we’re waiting for it.

This week Jonathan teaches from Acts 2, exploring community through the lens of Jesus, and how our call to follow Jesus together is vital to being formed as person of love, for the sake of others.

At Mile End, we had the privilege of hearing Eti’s story of following Jesus through hostility, and how God met with Eti and her husband in the face of resistance to their faith. We also got to hear more about how Open Doors are serving the persecuted church worldwide, and how we can support and pray for their crucial work.

Temples are a big theme in the book of Acts, and were epicentres of controversy for the early church. Temples are places of power and systems of life centred on what’s most precious to us. This week, Adnan looks at what it means to live as temples of God’s presence, and what we can expect as we centre our lives on Jesus as the ‘Cornerstone’ of a new spiritual superstructure.

As we continue our series through the book of Acts, Andy looks at the day of Pentecost, the gift of tongues, and the pouring out of the Holy Spirit on the early church. As Andy unpacks the promise which still stands for us 2000 years later, we explore what we need to do to encounter more of God’s Spirit and power today.

This week, Joel starts our new teaching series on the book of Acts. We look at how the Ascension of Jesus shapes our encounter of God’s presence as a church, and our longing to see his kingdom in our world.

Lars looks at the biblical guidance for people who have an experience of having lost inner territory in times of pressure.

For our first Sunday of 2025, David Stroud shares some of the key lessons from the previous year, and in particular what he learned from his father’s passing. He looks at how the reality of Jesus and the resurrection transforms our grief, and fills us with renewed hope.

Andy Tilsley spoke at our Sutton Christmas Carol service on God being found in the small and ordinary.

Andy concludes our ‘Walking with God’ series by looking at our destination as followers of Jesus. Looking at the book of Revelation, we see how knowing where we’re heading in the future helps change our lives and journey in the present.

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.
