KCC Podcast

This episode is a short update on our approach to digital media as a church, how we resource our people and an invitation to continue to engage with the person of Jesus.

On this episode of the KCC Podcast, we're continuing our series on the Bible; what it is, what claims are made about it, and why that's important. Today we're outlining two claims that Christians make about the Bible - compared to other texts. That it is inspired and that it is infallible.

On this episode of the KCC Podcast, we're continuing our series on the Bible; what it is, what claims are made about it, and why that's important. Today we're diving into two necessary challenges about how we ended up with the Bible as we read it today; firstly, is this really what was first written by the original authors? And secondly, haven't there been errors as it has been translated over the last two thousand years?

We're continuing our podcast series on the Bible; what it is, what claims are made about it, and why that's important. Today we're diving into some of the history behind how we ended up with the Bible we have today and by what measure were these books written.

We're starting a new podcast series on the Bible; what it is, what claims are made about it, and why that's important. Today is an introduction to the series and some of foundational information about what the Bible is.

Here's a little update on where we're at with the podcast, as a church and what might be ahead for us.

A short reflection on one of the Psalms - or songs - in the Bible. How honest can we get with God?

In this episode we're concluding the interview with David, a resident in Kingsbrook, a member of KCC and avid Wycombe Wanderers fan!

In this episode, it's the first part of an interview with David, one of the founding members of KCC, a former naval sailor and vicar. We're getting his thoughts on everything from church, to gardening to hope in Jesus - part 2 next week!

Here's an update on where we're at as a church at the moment, what's coming up over the horizon, an invitation to engage with a couple of events and some insight into what we thing the shape of church in the future might involve.

In this episode, we summarize where we've gotten to in the 'Exploring Faith' series and then give a little update about what's happening in the church too.

In this episode, we're concluding the arguments for the existence of God with a look at the Moral Law Argument - why do we think things are right and wrong? What basis do we have to make moral judgements on anything at all? What do the answers to those questions suggest?

In this episode, we're looking at what the fossil record reveals and then investigating the idea of Intelligent Design as a reasonable alternative.

In this episode, we'll be digging into the mechanism of natural selection as the widely accepted process that brought about life and look at 5 challenges to it.

In this episode, as we continue our series 'Exploring Faith', we'll be thinking about the complexity of life and how we might think about the origins of the very first life.

We're continuing our exploration of faith and in this episode we're considering the 'teleological argument' - that is, the investigating how finely tuned the Universe needs to be for life and what would the best explanation of that be?

Having thought about the nature of truth in Parts 1 & 2, in this episode, we'll be looking at what we know about the Universe itself and explore whether or not it had a beginning and how that leads into what's known as the 'Cosmological Argument'.

In this episode of the KCCPod we're continuing an exploration of faith and asking about how we arrive at truth, how we can know anything that might be true about God and why it matters that we know truth at all.

In this episode, we're starting a new series on exploring faith from the ground up. As we start, we'll be thinking about the idea of truth; what truth is, what it isn't and what the answers to those questions mean. As ever, if you want to engage in the conversation, do get in touch with us (info@kingsbrookcommunity.church) and if there's a question you'd like us to grapple with, send that in too!

In this episode, we will be sharing a little more about how we are responding as a church during this time of Covid-19 lockdown and also exploring a parable the Jesus teaches to think about how to respond to those around us with falling into hypocrisy.

In this episode of the Sunday Podcast, we're thinking about the parable Jesus tells about the 'Lost Coin' - how to engage with it, a bit of context and what it raised for James, the vicar of KCC.

In this episode we explore the significance of Easter for Christians as those who are trying to follow Jesus with their lives. Happy Easter everyone!

In this Sunday podcast, as we head towards Easter, we're taking a break from looking at Jesus' parables, and focussing on the week leading up to the events of Easter - beginning with Palm Sunday. As crowds gathered to welcome Jesus into Jerusalem on that first Palm Sunday, our question is, 'Where would I be in that crowd?"

As part of our response to not being able to gather in person, we'll be releasing Podcasts on Sundays to help us continue to think about Jesus' parables. This week, we're thinking about the parable of the 'Persistent Neighbour' and prayer.

As part of our response to not being able to gather in person, we'll be releasing Podcasts on Sundays to help us continue to think about Jesus' parables. This week, we're thinking about the parable of the 'Good Samaritan' and how we might be good neighbours.

In this episode, I explain a little about how we as a church, and a family of churches, are responding to the current Covid-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak and offering a couple of reflections on how we as a church can be encouraging and serving those around us in the most appropriate ways.

In this episode of the podcast, I sit down for a conversation with Mark Aldridge, an experienced church leader and member of the national leadership team with the New Wine Network. He was the speaker at our recent church weekend away, and we talk about what he shared that weekend, what his recent convictions have been about God, what he's experienced of the supernatural power of God...and water buffalos!

In this episode, James hosts a conversation with Luke and Steve, the other members of their DNA group at KCC. As KCC isn't currently able to meet as other churches do (in the sense of weekly, in the same place, at the same time) we are experimenting with other places of engagement to help grow as followers of Jesus. We talk about what DNA is, how they function within the wider church, and what some of the experiences have been of meeting in that way.

In this podcast, I have a conversation with Phil White, the vicar of Broughton Church and one of the team behind the original vision for what has become Kingsbrook Community Church. We talk about various things; restoring camper vans and canal boats, science and faith but particularly about the idea of finding a balance between work and rest and what it looks like as he considers an upcoming sabbatical from his role within the Broughton family of churches.

As we as a church, and a wider family of churches, start to look at the letter written to the Ephesians, here's a little insight into some of the background of that letter and an encouragement for what the church could be at its best.

This episode is an interview with Emma, a teacher here in Aylesbury, asking a little about the life of a teacher, some of the highs and lows, finding out how to best support the teachers we know and what difference it makes to have faith in Jesus in the school environment.

Everyone has Christmas traditions and there are all sorts of stories we tell ourselves about what happens at Christmas and what happened at the first Christmas. In this episode, we'll peel back some of the ways that the first Christmas story has been changed and hopefully be surprised by some of the things we've been thinking about it for a long time!

According to one survey, 40% of adults in the UK don't believe that there was a historical figure called Jesus of Nazareth. As we approach Christmas, in this episode I address the question of whether there is a Christmas we can believe in. Regardless of what you think about the claims he made about himself, or his followers made about him, was there a birth and life of Jesus - was there a first Christmas?

In this episode I'm reflecting on attending a Mental Health First Aid course, sharing some of the things that I learnt through it and perhaps what we can all do to help promote good mental health in and around Kingsbrook, Aylesbury.

In this episode, James will be talking about how he approaches what we're looking at on Sunday (Luke 1.26-38) by asking 4 questions you can use on any passage in the Bible.
