Acts Church UK

You can't love what you haven't experienced. Just as we grow to love a sport or a place by engaging with it, our love for God flourishes through personal encounter. In this message from Karyn, one of our Acts London leaders, we learn of practical ways to experience God and fall in love with Him.

Nobody likes to wait—especially when it feels like your prayers are hitting a ceiling. When you're in a season of waiting, it's easy to feel like God is silent. In this message by Pr Nikki our Acts London Students Pastor, we learn that a delay is not always a denial, and that God has a plan that is far better than what we could imagine.

We can experience true freedom when we depend on God, but it is an active choice we need to make every day, even when it's uncomfortable. In this message by Rora, one of our Acts Church leaders, we're reminded that in order to depend on God, we need to humble ourselves and allow God to change our hearts and lead us by His Spirit.

We all like to be blessed in our careers, relationships, finances, and more. God loves to bless us too, but in order to be truly blessed by Him, we need to put Him at the centre of our lives. In this message by Pastor Dave, we learn 3 practical ways in order to experience God's blessings, by first building His house.

Have you ever experienced being let down by God? Maybe you were praying for something important but it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to. In this message we wrestle with this issue. God never disappoints but His ways are also higher than ours. What if our role in life is not to understand God but to trust Him?

Everyone goes through stressful situations! From the Old Testament to the New. EVERYONE! In this wonderful message from Soon Tau, who is also one of our ActsLondon leaders, we look at the prophet Elijah's battle with stress, how we commonly cope with stress but most importantly God's solution.

We might feel overlooked but God has never overlooked us. He is the God of the ordinary folk, the God who steps into our ordinary lives, the God who sees us and causes us to be extraordinary. In this message by Pastor Dave, we are reminded that God loves to involve us in His plans and when we invite Him into our every day life, Jesus turns the mundane into miracles.

Merry Christmas Church! Every year come Christmas time, it's natural to look at the story of the nativity and the characters who played their part around it. In this message by Pastor Dave, we look at Mary's bold faith and how she wasn't just a listener of God's Word but a believer and role model for us. May God bless you as He did Mary and cause you to be a blessing to all.

Many of us get stuck in the "Santa Theology", if we behave, if we do good, then God will bless us! But that's not true of who God is. In this message by Toby, one of our ActsLondon leaders, we are reminded that it's not about how much we love God but how much He loves us! And the power of letting that love into our lives.

We were so blessed to have our global founding pastors with us in the UK recently. This message by Pastor Sandra Chin was recorded at our recent church service in London. We were so blessed by this powerful teaching on how true strength is found in and with our Lord Jesus Christ. We hope you will be too.

We are so blessed to sit at the feet of our special guest speaker Dr Christina Phang. Dr Christina is a captain of her industry, as well as a key member of the church leadership team at Full Gospel Assembly KL. She is also a cancer survivor with an amazing testimony of healing. We hope you will be blessed by her message. God bless.

Life can often feel chaotic. It is not uncommon for us to feel like we are being pushed and pulled in various directions. But instead of being tossed around by circumstances, we must learn to move with God. In this message by Pastor Dave we look at the book of Joshua and how God lead His people into their promise land by faith, favour and facts! Also please stay tuned for an exciting announcement at the second half of the sermon.

Before God moves, He usually pre-empts that move by reminding His people of their identity. In this message by Pastor Dave, we learn what are some of the convictions of Acts Church. And the power of being a Christ-centred, Great Commission and Calling focussed church and people.

In our world today we are slowly moving away from cash, especially coins. In fact, nowadays 2p on a bill becomes a negligible amount. But money is still money and it's value doesn't diminish just because people don't care of it as much. In this message from Gareth, one of our Acts London leaders, we apply the same thought exercise towards the teachings of Jesus, especially on the 2Ps of Patiences and Perseverance. And discover maybe it all does add up.

God has a beautiful redemption plan for all of us! The question is: do we dare to say Yes to Him! In this message from Pastor Dave, we look at the interaction between Jesus and a man on a tree named Zacchaeus. And learn what to do with the "little Zacchaeus" inside of us all and how to love and reach people who are like Zacchaeus in our lives.

Spiritual lukewarmness is a symptom of our fallen human condition. It's something all Christians must learn to overcome. In this message by Pastor Dave, we look at the remedy Jesus prescribes to the church in Laodicea and rediscover the power of knowing the Son, suffering and sitting with God.

Life is rarely smooth sailing. Amidst our daily responsibilities are things that are happening all around and over us that we have no control over. But despite all the chaos, God's heart is for His people to thrive! In this message by Pastor Dave, we look at Daniel 1 and how despite the socio-political turmoil in the backdrop, we can always count on God's promises, purposes and people!

Like a cut flower - life without God can look beautiful on the surface but it's just a matter of time before we start wilting away. In this message from Sam, one of our Acts London leaders, we are reminded of God's big picture and the importance of remaining in His love, His work in our lives and His Word!

We all have dreams and goals. If you are a student, you may have dreams to graduate with flying colours. If you're working, you may have dreams to climb up the career ladder. In this message by Pastor Nikki our Acts London Students Pastor we are reminded that we can experience even more than these dreams when we choose to walk together with God.

Following Christ may sound difficult, but it is the most fulfilling and rewarding thing that you will have in life! In this message from Soon Tau, one of our Acts London leaders, we learn about 3 C's on what it really means to follow Christ - to CHOOSE Him even when it's hard, to CARRY our cross daily for Him and be willing to COUNT the cost in following Him.

Surrendering to God isn't just doing nothing, but an active and daily decision to depend on Him and not our own strength. In this message by Toby, one of our Acts London leaders, we learn how Daniel continuously surrendered his life to God even when living a life of exile in Babylon. We hope that this message will encourage you to surrender your own life to God as well.

When we listen to God's word, we should be challenged so that we can be changed to be more like Him. In this message by our global senior pastor Kenneth Chin, we are challenged to abide in His Word, and to be faithful in walking His ways.

Who is God to you? Is He like a vending machine you go to when you want something in return? Have we limited Him to a counterfeit image that only meets our expectations? In this message from Gareth, one of our Acts London leaders, we're reminded to know God for who He truly is—a Person who desires a loving relationship with us.

God is always in the business of using us for His glory, even when we feel like we don't deserve it because of our imperfections. In this message by Rora, one of our Acts London leaders, we are reminded to see God's power in our brokenness, to keep pressing on knowing that God never gives up on us and to allow God to shape our perspective for eternal things.

None of us like it when disruptions come into our lives, but we're not meant to cower in fear and anxiety when facing them. In this message by Sam, one of our Acts London leaders, we learn of practical ways to respond to disruptions by being honest with God in prayer, claiming and clinging to His promises, and to choosing to praise despite the situation.

Ever felt that you're facing your storms alone? Even if you don't feel it, God is still present, just like how Jesus was present in the boat with His disciples when the storm hits. In this message from Soon Tau, one of our Acts London leaders, we're reminded that even in the storms in life we have a God that we can run to, we have a God that gives us rest, and we have a God who is sovereign over our life.

Have we been endlessly chasing after jobs, relationships, wealth or other accolades in life in order to find satisfaction and fulfilment? In this message from Karyn, one of our Acts London leaders, we're reminded to turn back towards God for He alone is enough.

Following Christ does not exempt us from experiencing difficulties and suffering, in fact it can feel like we're facing even more challenges when we follow Christ. But God wants to help us go through difficult seasons so that we can come out of it stronger. In this message by Toby, one of our ActsLondon leaders, we are reminded to seek first the Kingdom of God by putting God as our priority in life, by going to Him daily in prayer and by letting Him use us extraordinarily wherever we are positioned in.

Come and hear from some of our church partners - Abigail, Rachel, Calving and Ste as they share their stories of God's goodness and faithfulness in the area of studies, career, visa provision, and even protection and healing. We hope this blesses you and your journey towards God!

This is Part 2 of our global senior pastor Kenneth Chin's message on the purpose and power of brokenness. We hope that this will bless you and remind you that the God who allows you to go through a season of brokenness is also a loving Father who will not leave you nor forsake you!

In the eyes of the world, our brokenness can be seen as a sign of weakness, but God chooses broken people like you and I. In this message by our global senior pastor Kenneth Chin, we're reminded that our brokenness can be used by God powerfully for His purposes.

You'll be surprised how young kids will imitate what a teacher will say or do in class. Who we look up to will determine who we become, so are we becoming more and more like Christ? In this message by Pastor Nikki, we are reminded that it is now time to make a choice for ourselves, to say yes to being a faithful disciple of Jesus and to make disciples wherever we go.

What are the things on earth that we find precious and willing to pay money for? Have we treated God the same? In this message by Rora, one of our Acts London leaders, we are challenged whether we're willing to embrace God's love for us, to not just listen and obey but even follow Jesus all the way as the most precious treasure we can find.

In light of Father's Day, we remember and honour our fathers and all the things that they have done for us. As imperfect as our earthly fathers can be, we have a perfect Father in heaven who cares for us, whether we feel far away from Him or have been faithfully serving Him. In this message from Soon Tau, one of our Acts London leaders, we're reminded of how much the Father loves us by giving us freedom to choose Him, forgiveness at His doorstep and free access to Him all the time.

Have you ever experienced victories and testimonies in your season in life just to be met with challenges and troubles shortly after? You are not alone! In this message from Karyn, one of our Acts London leaders, we're reminded that we can face our tough moments, by drawing near to God always and also draw near to His people for support.

When we truly love someone, we will go out of our way to make that person feel loved and appreciated, but do we do the same to God? God loves us so much and He wants us respond to Him with love as well. In this message by Sam, one of our Acts London leaders, we learn of how we can love God the way He deserves, by being Present with Him, Partner with Him and to live with His Power.

All of us can face B.A.D. days ahead of us - Blessed, Abandoned and Disconnected. However, we're not alone! In this message by Pastor Dave we are encouraged not to be afraid of what's ahead, but to face those days by being united with Christ and also learn to depend on one another, even when it's inconvenient.

How do you know if someone is a disciple of Christ? Is it what we wear? Where we go? How we talk? In this message by Toby, one of our ActsLondon leaders, we are reminded that following Jesus is not about comparing ourselves with others. But it does require our daily decision, desire & doing.

It is perfectly healthy to have dreams and goals in life. The real question is: will those things bring us closer or further away from God? In this message from Gareth, one of our ActsLondon leaders, we reflect upon our hierarchy of values and examine our hearts to see where does God sit in our lives. Is it really worth it to build our lives upon God?

Despite our many shortcomings, we can still give God our best in everything that we do. How you ask? In this message from Soon Tau, one of our ActsLondon leaders, we learn that the way to do that is to S.H.O.W God our best through our Sacrifice, Hearts, Obedience and Worship.

Using his recent bout with Dengue Fever as an illustration, Pastor Dave encourages us to stop looking down at ourselves, especially our ability to be effective witnesses for the Gospel. Reminding us all that it's what inside of us that makes the difference.

There is so much misinformation in the world we live in today that it is now not uncommon for us to hear people claim that Easter is a pagan festival that the early Christians co-opted, especially over social media and the internet. In this message by Pastor Dave, we set the record straight using historical facts but also dive deeper into the painful truth about Easter. And how knowing what Jesus endured for us on the Cross, should lead us to deep humility, deep love and deep confidence.

Water is life but stagnant water is dangerous. The same can be said with our faith. In this message from Karyn, one of our ActsLondon leaders, we talk about the real struggles with keeping our faith in God alive, how to get out of stagnancy and the importance of meeting God in prayer.

Nobody likes to have less, feel less or become lesser. So how does this square with a Christian's call to live a life of surrender. In this message by Sam, one of our ActsLondon leaders, we discover what "He must increase and I must decrease" means. And how obedience leads us to have more of God's strength, God's ways and understanding God's heart.

We are often asked - where do we see ourselves in 5 years time. But what about faith? Dare we imagine where our faith would be in 5 years time? In this message by Rora, one of our ActsLondon leaders, we are reminded that separated from God, we can do nothing. Therefore it is so important for us to be rejoined and remain with our first love - God.

Any relationship deepens when you understand the heart of the other person. When we don't understand the heart behind a certain issue, it can lead to much misunderstanding and arguments. The same goes with God. In this message by Gareth, one of our Acts London leaders, we are asked: do we really know the heart of God? And how we can better know God's heart so our walk with Him doesn't become a religious routine.

One of the ways we can grow in our relationship and intimacy with God is to ensure that we are listening to Him. In this message by Toby, one of our Acts London leaders, we are reminded of the power of spending a dedicated distraction-free time with God. And the immense joy of knowing a God who really does speak to us!

What keeps our faith growing and strong? Is it our past spiritual experiences? Is it the testimonies happening in our lives now? Is it blessing and prosperity? In this message by Pastor Nikki our Acts London Students Pastor we are reminded of the importance of having not just strong foundations but right ones. Are we rooted in God alone?

Do you know what you stand for? When people interact with you, do they walk away sensing that you are different than others in a good way? In this message by Karyn, one of our Acts London leaders, we are asked the important question: what do we want to known for? And how our speaking, living and thinking can show that we are people who know the Most High God!

Most of the time we don't thank God for Mondays. We dread it. Because it takes real faith to face our Mondays! But God desires for us to have a victorious life, unshackled by fears and pressures. In this message by Pastor Dave we are encouraged to reimagine our "Mondays" and to see them through the eyes and heart of God. Seeing our everyday as an opportunity to experience God's purpose, promise and power!

Does being a child of God entitle us to certain privileges? Yes we are blessed in Christ Jesus but entitlement is a slippery slope that leads us to becoming self-centred instead of Christ-centred. In this message by Gareth, our Acts London Assistant Coordinator, we learn how to keep our flesh in check and not allow our entitlement to become a wedge between us and God.
