King's Church Edinburgh

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!

We believe that God is calling us in 2025 to “Step out, and step in”. Following apostolic and prophetic input, we are taking steps to see congregations of King’s established in multiple gathered communities. Our hope this year is to start two new King’s communities, one in north Edinburgh and one in Midlothian. There will also be plenty happening in our existing community too!

The meeting between Jesus and Zacchaeus teaches the Good News that though we are “lost” as a result of our wandering, we are still loved by God. Turning around to Jesus will result in entering God’s inner circle. Note – near the beginning of this recording we hear some real good news, that the brother of someone in our congregation who was a prisoner in Iran has been set free!

Terry Virgo takes us through the call of Moses to help us see what might be holding us back from stepping into freedom and the fullness of what God is calling us to.

As we begin 2025, let's recalibrate not just to a new calendar year but to the God who is making all things new and holds our past, present, and future in His hands. God is ABLE to do immeasurably more, God is FAITHFUL to keep us, and God is SOVEREIGN as King eternal—let these truths shape our year.

The sudden interruptions in the Christmas story are just the start of Jesus demanding that we allow Him to do for us what we desperately need Him to.

The gospel brings about three powerful assurances for every believer: assured identity as Gods children, assured hope in suffering, and assured help in weakness.

Colin continues our series on Romans by leading us over the rocky ridge of chapter 7 to the marvellous heights of chapter 8, highlighting the importance of the Law in knowing sin and the transition from Law to Grace.

Stephen continues our series on the book of Romans with a look at the start of chapter 6. The impact of Jesus' death and resurrection doesn't start when we get to heaven.  It starts now.  When we become Christians we move from a point where sin is the master to complete freedom in Christ.

In Romans 5, we find that the results of our justification are peace with God, ongoing access to God’s grace, and unbreakable hope, even in the midst of suffering.

As Jesus steps into our story He invites us to step into His. By faith we are called to leave everything behind & follow Him & live for Him alone.

Jesus offers eternal life and life to the full, but how are we supposed to access it? The book of Romans turns to the story of Abraham to find an answer.

Fear, guilt, and shame are massive forces in all human cultures – and the gospel offers transformative hope for all these things. Romans 3 shows us that Jesus redeems us from sin's power, atones for our sin, and gives us His righteousness.

The wrath of God is the “problem” that the gospel solves. Dan shows us that this sobering message is true for everyone, but so is the offer of salvation in Jesus.

Paul starts his letter to the Romans by introducing himself, his Master, the Romans themselves, and the gospel.

The climactic story of Abraham’s faith is also about the greatest show of God’s love. Luke takes us through both those stories and encourages us to consider what sacrifices God is calling us to make in view of His mercy.

In this message, Dan explores God’s covenant with Abraham, focusing on the significance of circumcision as a sign of faith and how it points to the New Covenant, where believers are sealed by the Holy Spirit. It encourages Christians to trust in God’s timing, embrace the markers of the New Covenant (baptism and communion), and walk in obedience, knowing that God is faithful even when we falter.

Chris continues our series on Abraham and Sarah as he looks at the time Abraham chose to intervene in a chaotic, risky situation, having faith that God would be with him and bring about the victory.

Raphael shows us from the story of Abraham that no matter the ups and downs we go through, God will fulfil His promises to us. This is a faith adventure!

As Dan continues our series looking at the story of Abraham and Sarah, he looks at Abraham's fluctuating faith and his trust in God, encouraging believers to trust God’s promises and rest in His work, not relying on personal efforts but on God's grace and faithfulness.

Our new preaching series begins at the start of Abraham and Sarah’s journey with a plan that doesn’t make earthly sense, and a promise of God’s presence.

Rachel showed us God’s promise to pour out His Spirit on all His people in Joel 2, and how that has now been fulfilled. With the help of others, she shared how God can speak to us today for the good other people.

Many people are troubled by the idea of God's judgement but Chris shows us how it is right, comforting, and good news.

Karen continues our series `Encounters with God’ by looking at God’s encouragement.

Simon Elliott, from Everyday Church, joins us to continue our series on Encounters with God. He looks at the story of Jonah,  a man whose view of God was too small, whose identity was in the wrong place, and towards whom God had amazing compassion.

Raphael continues our series with a look at God’s call to Jeremiah, reflecting on how God calls different people in different ways; it is by God’s grace that we were made, called, and given all we need to fulfil His purpose for our lives.

The life of the prophet Hosea is a dramatic illustration of God’s love and faithfulness even when His people are unfaithful to Him. It also points us to Jesus, the bridegroom who redeems and rescues His bride, the church.

The prophet Jeremiah suffered so much because of his obedience to God that he felt like God had deceived him. Luke looks at how Jeremiah’s response is still a model for bringing our pain to God and encountering His faithfulness. (The song Luke refers to at the end is “Come As You Are” by Crowder.)

Following the UK's general election, Luke showed us the different views Christians can have on being involved in politics, and the way God shows all of us to relate to rulers.

Following the UK's general election, Luke showed us the different views Christians can have on being involved in politics, and the way God shows all of us to relate to rulers.

Stephen teaches from Joel 2: 1–27 on how God is a God of restoration; gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love.

Zechariah 3 reveals God as a righteous judge who loves to clothe his people in righteousness. Having been clothed by God, we find that he has restored us to the glorious role that we were made for.

When we make God’s priorities our priorities, we find fulfilment and satisfaction – but how do you actually do that?
