We are a community that is seeking to live for Jesus in our everyday lives, allowing God to use us to bring His love to this great city of London. We meet on Sunday mornings at 10:30am as well as in midweek community groups - it would be great for you to come and join us!
Generosity is an important fruit of understanding God's grace; it transforms us from accumulators into conduits of His blessings.
God's design is that money is acquired, primarily, through work or the generosity of those who work.
Stewarding our money and possessions begins by choosing to see these things as gifts from God.
Matt shares from Matthew 6. Let's seek first the Kingdom - listen to Jesus - and so become good stewards of the money He entrusts to us.
As stewards, we understand that our time is God's time and is to be offered to Him for His purposes.
To steward our time, it's important that we clarify what's important, and use methods and habits that help us to steward our time usefully.
Time is created by God, and the units of days and weeks are to be stewarded wisely for both work and rest.
Phil continues our stewarding series, reflecting on what do we do with our time, that God has given us?
Practical service is a vital way that we are to engage in serving God in His church and the world.
Words are one of God's most powerful gifts that we need to respect and learn to use effectively.
To understand how to use gifts, it's really helpful to remember we are the body of Christ.
Beware of becoming jealous or ambitious about gifts or service for Christ - God has given each of us enough gifts and opportunities to thoroughly occupy us!
Everyone has been given grace-gifts from God - God does not exclude us and so we must not exclude ourselves.
Matt, and Lucy, continue our series on stewardship by reflecting on the nature of spiritual gifts, what they are for and how to develop in the use of them.
We can remain faithful stewards as we invest in our love for Christ and receive afresh of His love for us.
As we wait for Jesus' return, Jesus expects us to steward the talents that He has invested in us.
God has formed us and has given us abilities that are to be invested in God's service
God gives each of us good gifts for our good, but also to be stewarded in His service
God is good and gives us everything that is good in our lives - this leads to praise and thankfulness.
Matt starts our Stewardship series - God gives each of us good gifts, will we invest faithfully?
If we desire to have God's presence at the centre, we must do the things that put Him at the centre.
God's presence among us is to be the distinguishing mark of a Christian and a church - let's reflect on what this means.
God wants to 'send us up' - together and personally, we are sent by God on His mission.
God works through people, so let's be responsive and take action in harmony to our faith.
Are we more less interested in God than in what we want Him to do for us?
God wants to teach us about and fill us with peace, love, faith and grace.
The Holy Spirit wants to work through us to encourage others
To serve God and grow in responsibility, we must show ourselves trustworthy to be sent.
In Jesus, we are to become faithful servants of God first, and then of others.
To serve God well together, we must understand that we are family.
Matt Beaney delivers the final part of our series in Ephesians, preaching from Ephesians 6:21-24.
Do we lack courage? Let's see how prayer gives us the courage to live for Jesus and share His gospel.
Do we feel that we lack effectiveness? Prayer imparts the Spirit's supernatural ability.
Let's explore how we are to be spiritually alert so as to pray with all kinds of prayer according to the need of the moment.
To pray in the Spirit means praying in the Spirit's presence, under the Spirit's influence, and with His help.
The true test of our putting on the full armour of God is how we pray.
To stand firm in the spiritual battle, we must take up the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit.
Put on the gospel shoes and take up the shield of faith to overcome Satan's flaming arrows.
What are the belt of truth and breastplate of righteousness, and how can we put them on?
To be strong in the Lord and stand, we must put on the ‘full armour of God'.
Be strong in the Lord, not yourself. This devotional explores Ephesians 6:10 and how God's strength equips us for life's battles.
Matt Beaney preaches from Ephesians 6:10-17 on putting on the armour of God to stand strong in the battle.
From the life of Joseph, let's reflect on the reward promised to both employees and employers who serve God faithfully in their work.
Let's continue reflecting on a godly attitude to work by considering the example of the ‘Proverbs 31 Woman'.
All work, in every setting, can become an opportunity to serve God.
For Christians, work is a part of their worship.
From Ephesians 6:5, we reflect on how Christianity's teaching and power contain the seed to change the world - but we must all beware of being a captive to our culture.
Alex Dias preaches from Ephesians 6:5-9 about God's design for work. From Ephesians 6:5-9, we apply these principles to the sphere of work as we - being in God's Kingdom - are to work for people as though working for God, and treat workers as though they were working for God.
Today, as we finish reflecting on Jesus' last words, let's celebrate how He restores us - no matter how much we fail!
Today, we consider how Jesus, in His last words, spoke about how we are sent, in His power, to share the Good News.
