Mark presents us with two possibilities of life and Jesus, and asks us a very challenging question: would Jesus call me family? At the same time he weaves in some beautiful truths about our saviour, Jesus.

Is The Tower of Babel just an interesting story for kids in Sunday clubs? Or does it help answer the question "What on earth are we here for?!" - and lead us to ask, "how can we play our small part in God's big purposes?"
Is one day in the presence of the Lord really better than a thousand days of peak human experience? The scriptures invite us to taste and see that God's wonderful presence really is as satisfying as it claims to be, and that the truth of God's word really is sufficient to anchor us through the most difficult of times.

This week we see from the life of Jesus that He has authority to forgive sin in the story of the paralysed man.

Paul wants to protect the unity of the church at Philippi – he focuses on the underlying attitude that all followers of Christ should have.

What does walking with Jesus mean for the world around us? Like the early readers of Mark, there is chaos everywhere. Both "out there" in the world, but often inside us as well. Where is God in all this, what is his plan, and how can we be part of that plan?
At the beginning of his Gospel, Mark introduces us to who he believes Jesus is but he also brings in some substantial witnesses to back it up.
How do we hold the tension of sickness, aging and the gift of healing? Paul helps us in his letters to the Corinthian Church.
Loneliness is very common problem, and many of know what it's like even if it's just occasionally. What does God think about loneliness and what does he offer us to help?
“ Help I can't afford it” as a follower of Jesus what is my response when facing challenges around money? Jesus has some challenging words!

Many of us struggle with decisions in life. It could the big issues and changes, or simple everyday choices. To not know what to do can be difficult and stressful, but it's just part of our limitations as human beings. How can faith in Jesus, who was more than human, make a difference and help us with our decision making?

The narrative of Jesus' birth in Matthew's gospel opens with a genealogy - a really long list of names. Why does such an amazing account start in such an unengaging way? These verses are often ignored or skimmed through to get to the ‘good stuff'. But in doing so we miss out on some crucial things Matthew wants us to know about Jesus.
For our advent series we take a look at Mary the mother of Jesus, focusing on her Song the ‘Magnificat', and her surrender to God.
Advent is traditionally the time over four Sundays leading up to Christmas Day – a period of expectant waiting, nowadays often with chocolate filled calendars. But what's the point of waiting when we know the end of the story? In fact, waiting was a very, very, very big part of the whole story.

Sharing what we've found in Jesus with other people can feel like a scary thing to do, but what if this could be done in a really natural and normal way? John 1: 43-51 provides us with some inspiration towards gently helping people to see Jesus for themselves.
As followers of Jesus we can ‘shine and sow' in many different ways. Discover in the story of The Lame Man from Acts chapter 3, an important principle about shining through choosing to freely give.

One of Jesus' final instructions to his followers was to go and make more followers. Most Christians know they are supposed to be doing this, but many find it hard to how exactly how to do it. Fortunately, Jesus also left two very helpful metaphors to encourage and equip us.

Luke looked at a story from the Old Testament where God's people took the presence of God for granted. He challenges us to think about the authenticity of our worship belonging to God and our expectations for God to be with us and for us being rooted in faith rather than assumption.

What does it look like to be a disciple of Jesus? How can I know if I'm doing well as a disciple? We discover that it all boils down to just two things - and if we keep our focus on them, we will both please God and flourish ourselves.
What did Jesus mean when he said ‘go and make disciples'? What exactly is a disciple, and what does ‘making' one involve? Looking closer, we discover that all of Jesus' followers are called to be disciples, and that is something we need to live out all day, every day.
This message looks at teaching from Jesus and the Apostle Paul on the subject of Singleness. Particularly looking at the Pain, the Pressures and the Potential in the single lifestyle.

“Psalm 88 makes people uncomfortable. It confronts the ways we pray and the ways we think prayer must be done. It confronts all of the memories we have of dark and lonely nights in our own lives. It confronts the relationship we have with God. It confronts each of us with its truth stripped bare of any nice platitudes. It shines a bright light on the darkest places where the human soul wallows.” (Beth Tanner)
From the story of Elijah in 1 Kings, we see the importance of Solitude and Silence in our maturing as followers of Jesus.
How can I live a flourishing life? This psalm seems to set out a clear and straightforward approach. But we need to read it carefully, as it's not quite as straightforward as it looks…
From prison, John the Baptist sends his disciples to check he has not misunderstood Jesus and asks “are you the one?” Jesus response is that the kingdom that John has been waiting for has come, but in an unexpected way.

Paul reminds the church of the importance of prayer, continuing to be devoted to prayer, being watchful and with thanksgiving.
Many people today point to the Bible's apparent approval of slavery as evidence that it cannot be trusted as a guide to morality. Many Christians are deeply troubled by the way their scriptures appears to support this evil, exploitative abuse of other humans. Is there a credible way through this problem?
Everyone wants happy, healthy relationships with the ones they love. But so often tensions develop, emotions get strained, arguments erupt, and things break down. Why are families so hard, and what can we do to help them to flourish and thrive?

How does being a follower of Jesus affect how I think about politics? How does it shape how I participate in the current General Election?
Sun, 16 Jun 24 12:00:00 +0000 John Risbridger http://www.kingschurchlewes.org/sites/default/files/sermons/16062AHL085-2_JohnRisbridger.mp3
This Sunday we begin chapter 3 of the book of Colossians, and this is a high point in Paul's letter. He encourages believers to ‘Set their heart on things above' in the everyday. Why? …… because Christ has died, Christ has risen, Christ has ascended and Christ will come again. It's All about Jesus!
We live in a world where countless different ideas and beliefs offer us a multitude of ways to become exactly what we want to be. Is the Christian faith just another route to self-fulfilment or does it have something unique to offer?
