Acts Church UK

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.

We all have plans and dreams we want to achieve. The good news is that God wants growth and change for our lives too. But many times His way of getting us there is different than what we have in mind. In this message by Rora, one of our Acts London leaders, we are challenged to examine our hearts and still give God a faithful response even we we can't make sense of the situation.

We all have dreams and ambitions. And it's good to have dreams and ambition. But are we building towards them the right way? In this message by Toby, one of our ActsLondon leaders, we learn the difference between achieving our goals our way and God's way. And why God's way truly matters.

How can we begin to love prayer? To see prayer not as a religious duty but as something enjoyable that we cannot do without. In this message by Soon Tau, one of our Acts London leaders, we are challenged to rethink prayer and rediscover the virtue and power of simple, short and sincere prayers.

Do you want to be used by God to be a blessing to the world around us? But for that to truly happen we must first let God transform us. How does that look like? In this message from Pastor Nikki, we are reminded of the importance of putting first things first. And that means rededicating ourselves to God so that we can be renewed to reach out!

For every dream, goal and resolution we have set for ourselves this year, we cannot do it on our own. We need help! We need God's help and specifically from our Helper the Holy Spirit. In this message by Pastor Dave we are challenged to depend more on God's Spirit and to live a life of purity, prayer and purpose that attracts His Presence.

As a new year dawns, it is so important for us to enter into it with the right attitude, with the right company and with the right focus. In this message from Pastor Dave, we learn some spiritual lessons from how Joshua lead the Israelites into the PromiseLand. And the importance of starting the year with courage, companions and consecration.

Have you ever heard that Christmas is only celebrated on the 25th of December because the church wanted to use it to replace some early pagan festivals? And maybe this has lead you to feel conflicted or apathetic. In this message by Pastor Dave, he debunks these myths and goes deeper to challenge us to confront other lies we have accepted about ourselves, life and God.

God loves us and is our very present help in our time of need. Come and hear from some of our church partners - Jenny, Jeriel, Debbie, Sam & Audrey on how came through for them. From weddings to jobs; personal encounters & peace that surpasses understanding; God is good! We hope this blesses you and your journey towards God!

As the year is coming to an end, some of us might be giving thanks to God for all that He has done. But for many of us, we could still be waiting on God. You feel like your breakthroughs are being delayed, you feel spiritually down and death is all around... this message is for you. Be encouraged friend! Jesus is the answer!

There are many phrases we use in church that make us sound like we know what we are talking about, but do we really? Following Jesus is one such phrase. We sing it, we declare it, we think we believe it but do we really? In this message from Sam, one of our ActsLondon leaders, we are given a real heart check on what it means to be followers of Jesus. May we be more surrendered and shaped by Him.

As we draw closer to the end of 2024, are we still committed to our pursuit of God or have we run out of steam? In this message by Rora, one of our Acts London leaders, we are encouraged to step out of our comfort zones and no matter what this year has been like, to pursue God again despite our feelings, with the right posture and with our all, for the sake of God's Kingdom and for all to know Him!

Sharing her story of being pregnant while wrestling with a bad medical report, this message from Pastor Kat is a hopeful reminder that while life sometimes brings us to valleys, we serve a God who brings us through them.

Welcome back to our third Q&R Sunday, where we continue to respond to questions asked by our church partners and friends about the Christian faith. Pastor Dave and Gareth will be tackling questions like : "Why do bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad people?" and how to handle the pain of unanswered prayers. We hope this blesses you and help you reach your friends with the gospel.

When we least expect it, life can hit us with emotional storms, turning our hearts into a roller-coaster. What should we do when we feel so overwhelmed by life's problems? In this message by Karyn, one of our Acts London leaders, we learn how to submit our hearts and minds to Jesus and let Him take control of our lives!

Are you a Christian who is truly rooted in Christ? Or are your spiritual roots tied to a particular faith experience or blessing? In this message by Soon Tau, one of our Acts London leaders, we take a look at Jesus' parable of the sower, specifically the stony ground and thorny ground and how to avoid those pitfalls.

It's time for a spiritual heart check! Are we living for God? Are we living out the Gospel? Or have we lost the joy of our salvation? In this message by Pastor Nikki, we are reminded not to lose sight of the big picture and choose Him all over again!

We can't control what happens in our life but we can choose how to respond. Life can be very scary but we serve a God who has overcome it all. In this message by Pastor Dave, he uses the testimony of his son's birth as an illustration on how to close the door to fear, carry our emotions to the Cross and cast out the spirit of fear from our lives.

Our attitudes affect the way we respond and interact with everything around us. And that includes our relationship with God. In this message by Gareth, one of our ActsLondon leaders, we learn that when we approach God with the right expectations, we will be met with excitement and engagement with the divine.

How do we build strong marriages, families, businesses, careers and futures ...etc? With Christ as the cornerstone of course! In this message by our global senior pastor Kenneth Chin we are challenged to build our lives on the blueprint of God's wisdom and ways.

We are blessed to have a special guest speaker with us - Dr Ooi Chin Aik, the founder and president for Ministries for Asia Pacific, an international mission organization. He specialises in mobilising missionaries to advance the Kingdom of God, through gospel preaching. We hope you will be blessed by his teaching on discipleship.

What happens between the asking and the answer? This was the situation the children of Isreal were faced with when they cried out to God to deliver them from slavery. The got caught between the Red Sea and Egypt's Armies! In this message by our global senior pastor Kenneth Chin, we look at how we can go from very bold to very afraid in a short time! And in-between all this lies the key to our breakthrough - our attitude towards God.

Pastor Dave together with other church leaders like Karyn Ooi and Sam Yang will be responding to questions like "Who wrote the Bible?", "Does the Bible promote slavery and ill treatment of women?" and "Why did God command nations to be destroyed?". We hope this will bless you and help you reach your friends with the gospel.

As Christians we believe in a limitless God, who can do anything. But are we changed by this knowledge? In this message by Gareth, one of our church leaders, we are encouraged to embody this truth. Know and be transformed by the truth that God's love for us is limitless, His power over us is limitless and how to not limit what God wants to do in and through our lives.

Often times when we face trials and set backs, it is in our human nature to complain. But all that 'woe is me' will end up draining us mentally and emotionally. What if there was a better way? In this message by Soon Tau, one of our church leaders, we are taught that one powerful way to go through life's challenges is by thanking God.

The great commission isn't about making Jesus King. He is already King. It's about living under His rule while announcing His coronation to the world. In this message by Pastor Dave, we learn how to best experience and enjoy the Christ's reign over us.

As Christians we can often miss out on living out the great plan that God has in store for us, because we are not willing to change for Him. In this message by Rora, one of our church leaders, we are reminded how important it is to make room for God in our thoughts, time and especially our heart.

God loves us and has given us many good gifts. Including dreams and drives to impact the world and make it a better place for all. But how do we accomplish this? In this message by Sam, one of our ActsLondon leaders, we learn how to respond when God calls us and the obedience He requires.

We take a lot of comfort knowing that we are heading in the right direction. But what happens when the right direction doesn't look like what we imagine? In this message by Toby, one of our ActsLondon leaders, we are reminded to build our foundation on God and not what we see or feel. And how to not let doubt seep in.

Worship is a beautiful thing! Because it draws us close to God. In this powerful message from Pastor Kenneth, the founding and senior pastor of Acts Church Global, we are reminded that there is power when we praise God. Something shifts in our minds, our hearts, our situation and our future!

The Bible teaches us that we were created to have relationship with God, in short our hearts long to worship. The question is are we worshipping the right thing? In this message by Karyn, one of our ActsLondon leaders, we are reminded that there is only one who we ought to worship and we need to do so rightly.

In this message by Gareth, one of our ActsLondon leaders, we are challenged to exchange our pride for humility and our prejudice for unconditional love, so we can share the love of God effectively.

Welcome to our first Q+R Sunday! We'll be attempting to respond to some questions submitted by our members and their friends. Pastor Dave will be unpacking some questions like "Do Christians and Muslims worship the same God?", "What is speaking in tongues?" and "Why is the blood of Jesus powerful?". We hope this blesses your walk with Jesus.

We need God more than we realise! It's not just His guidance and blessing that we need, our very being subsists on His presence. In this message by Toby, one of our Acts London leaders, we are reminded of the importance of staying spiritually "hydrated" in God through prayer, the Bible and His people.

Who is God to you? Who do you think Jesus is? Often times the Bible poses this question to us because at the end of the day our faith needs to be personal for it to be real. In this powerful message by Pastor Nikki, she shares how God has been so real to her and invites us to taste and see Him for ourselves.

Many times we misunderstand the word "Holy". We associate it to mean boring or restrictive. But actually it's about being set apart for a different purpose. In this message by Sam, one of our ActsLondon leaders, we learn the exciting adventure God has in store for us. The question is do we dare to say yes?

God is still working miracles today. Jesus is still healing today. The Holy Spirit is still moving today. As Christians we must never forget how supernatural our faith is! In this message by Pastor Kat we are reminded that before we tell the world about Jesus, we need to experience His promises and His power again!
