King's Church Edinburgh

John's account of Jesus walking on water reveals Him as the Light in our darkness, the King over creation, and the Peace in our chaos — the great “I AM” who comes to us in life's storms. The story invites us to stop striving, welcome Him into our “boat,” and experience the calm and safety that only His presence brings.

At a baptism service, Guy looked at how two men – Philip and an Ethiopian official – “just happened” to meet on a desert road. Their conversation is recorded in Acts 8:26-40 and closed with a thrilling baptism. The Spirit of God makes arrangements so that everyone can hear and respond to the Good News of Jesus.   In his message, Guy referred to areas of the world which still have very limited access to the Good News of Jesus. He quoted information from https://joshuaproject.net/ , an excellent resource for data on people groups with the least access to the Gospel.

The raising of Lazarus from the dead is not just a spectacular miracle but a wonderful demonstration of the love of God. Going through the story slowly helps us to see what Jesus was doing then, and gives us faith for what He is doing now, too.

Jesus’ healing of a man born blind points to the greater miracle of spiritual sight and salvation being given by Jesus to those who believe in him. As John Newton famously wrote in the hymn “Amazing Grace” centuries later, “I was blind but now I see”. Bob mentioned how important it was for us as beleivers to share our story of salvation with others when we are asked. Here’s a 1-minute video on how we can all be ready to share our own story.

Colin preaches at our North Community on the feeding of the 5000 detailed in John 6.

John 6 shows that Jesus miraculously meets people's physical hunger to reveal a deeper truth — that only He can satisfy the hunger of the soul. He is the Bread of Life, inviting us not just to believe in Him once but to continually receive His life, presence, and provision in every season.

The next sign that Jesus performs in John’s gospel is an amazing miracle, and a shocking interruption. Jesus is still doing miracles today, and still interrupting lives. How will we respond to Him?

Dan talks about how we can find hope in Jesus and bring our burdens and anxieties to Him.

Chris shares about how when Jesus healed the official’s son in John 4, He revealed His urgent desire to be known, His commitment to growing even the smallest seeds of faith, and His kindness in doing for us more than we could ask or imagine.

Luke shares about how Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding shows us that He is fulfilment of God's promises to save His beloved people, shows us what God is like, and challenges us to put all our faith in Him.

Jesus transformed our ideas of what rest looks like, showing how it frees us and gives us life. But in order to rest like Jesus, we need to learn to trust in him, even in the times when we don’t feel like resting.

Jesus took on the nature of a servant and showed us that serving is more about our hearts, than what we do. As we follow his example, the marks or characteristics of a true servant will grow in our lives too.

Through engaging in pioneer mission, God will make a mark through us in this city.  He will do this despite our felt weakness.

Chris shares how we can follow Jesus’ example of living a life of simplicity.

Karen shares about how we can be joyful like Jesus and choose to bring more joy into our lives.

Will continues our series on being more like Jesus by looking at Jesus’ humility.

Jesus’s followers can only do what He told them to do if they have received His Holy Spirit. Luke shows us how the Spirit wants to fill us as individuals and as a church community, drawing us closer to God and sending us out into the world.

Raphael encourages us to model Jesus in our lives as we pray.

Guy recognises that sometimes we are timid or scared, and then shows how the Father will give us boldness to follow Jesus.

Sam speaks about what it means for Jesus to be a friend to us, and how that affects our friendships with others.

Cat looks at how obeying God is less about following rules and more about mirroring Jesus in how he only did what he saw the Father doing.

Stephen talks  about how God calls us to reflect his heart for the poor, in reflection of Jesus, who laid down everything for us.

The Christian life must be built on the unshakeable foundation of grace, not performance — we are saved, changed, and sustained by what God gives, not what we achieve. As we walk by the Spirit, not by the law, we grow in joyful partnership with God, becoming more like Jesus through His power, not our effort.

It is God’s intention to conform us to the image of His Son, and He tells us to work with Him on this. Luke starts our summer series by looking at five important principles that will help us do this.

Colin looks at why ‘forgiving ourselves' is so hard, and steps we can take to move forward.

Dan continues the `Built to Last’ series, looking at being a people who pray.

Because God has forgiven us, we are called to forgive others—freely, daily, and even when it's hard. Forgiveness isn't about excusing hurt but about releasing it to God, so we can live in peace, healing, and freedom.

God is reconciling all things to Himself through His Son: forgiveness is a major way in which He does this. Matthew 18 uses the image of debt to help us understand this, and Luke gives us some practical advice on how to confess our sins.

Dan Hudson looks at being a prophetic people.

Dave Holden continues looking at being an apostolic people.

Dave Holden looks at what it means to be an apostolic people.

Dave Holden sets the scene for the King’s Church Weekend Away in 2025.

Raphael unpacks the hope found in 1 Corinthians 15, affirming the resurrection of Jesus and the promise of a new, incorruptible body for all who are in Him. It encourages us to stand firm in this truth, living as faithful servants with hearts anchored in the hope of glory and hands ready for the work of the Lord, knowing our labour is never in vain.

Chris continues the series `Built To Last” by encouraging us to build all that we do on the foundation of God’s word to us, the Bible.

The story of Mary’s encounter with the risen Jesus teaches us that He meets us in our sadness, loves to show us who He is, and commission us into His purposes.

The story of Thomas’s encounter with the risen Lord Jesus helps us to understand how Jesus treats us when we doubt, and how we can grow our faith.

Guy starts our series `Resurrection People’ with the story of the followers of Jesus on the road to Emmaus. As they were disheartened after the events of the cruxifixion, Jesus himself drew near to them, opened their eyes to the truth in Scripture, and brought them true hope – and He’s still doing that today!

Dan concluded our long-running Romans series with Paul’s final exhortations to protect the gospel, partner with others in declaring it, and praise God for it.

Karen continues our preaching series at King’s Church Edinburgh North Community, looking at the characteristics that a grace-filled community displays.

In Romans 16, Paul greets many individuals in the Roman Church. This list of names reveals God’s love for people and shows that Jesus is building a church characterised by unity in diversity, teamwork, and genuine love for one another.

From Romans 8, Raphael helps us to see we can have confidence in God for our lives now and for the future at three levels: confidence in God's workmanship, confidence in God being for us, and confidence in the unfailing love of God.

Paul tells the Romans about some of the travelling he has done, and where he hopes to go in the future, in Romans 15. In doing so, he reveals the ever-expanding nature of God’s Kingdom, and invites us to go on the journeys of faith that God has set out for us.

The book of Romans teaches us that God is extra-ordinarily generous to us in Christ and that the gospel changes our hearts to make us extra-ordinarily generous like him, enabling the gospel to progress, the poor to be cared for and for churches to be planted.

Paul prays a very big prayer for all believers in Romans 15:13, inviting us to ask the Holy Spirit to work powerfully in our lives.

In Romans 9, Paul looks at God's choosing of His people, and what that means for everyone else. In doing so, he raises complicated and emotive questions, so Luke led this seminar on a Sunday evening to address these issues. A handout containing Luke’s notes and suggested further reading is also available below.

Karen teaches from Romans 15, helping us to see how being peacemakers, serving and building up others, and being encourage through reading the Bible helps us glorify God and build His church.

The church is not just a gathering but a sent people, built on the foundation of Jesus, the apostles, and prophets, empowered by the Holy Spirit to carry out His mission. As we step into this apostolic calling, we align with God's purpose to see His kingdom expand, transforming lives and communities for generations to come.

In view of God’s mercy, our worship is not just sining but a whole-life response-how we treat others, serve passionately, react with Christlike grace, and shine as a witness the world. True worship flows from the revelation of mercy, transforming us to live sacrificially and wholeheartedly for God.

Stephen leads us through the next part of our study in Romans, encouraging us that our whole lives are to be given as an act of worship in response to God’s mercy.

How are Christians meant to understand and apply the promises God made to His people in the Old Testament today? In Romans 11, Paul shows us through general principles and a specific issue. Above all, he tells all of us to humbly trust God and celebrate being part of the united people of God, saved by Jesus

The gospel is good news, and when you have good news it's worth sharing.  As Paul paints his picture of the good news in Romans, in this passage in Chapter 10 he challenges believers to be speaking about this good news, with the promise that those who hear, believe and call on the name of the Lord will be saved!
