King's Church London

In this week's preach Joe answers the question of where we should go during crisis through Daniel 6. Joe outlines the faultlessness, faithfulness and favourability of Daniel and how Daniel used prayer to get through crisis. Comparing Daniel's trials to Jesus' Joe encourages us to pray particularly in crisis like Daniel and Jesus.

This Sunday, Tex continues our Exiles series by walking us through Daniel 5, the story of King Belshazzar and the writing on the wall. As we look at God's judgment, we're reminded that how we live truly matters. Through the examples of Belshazzar, Nebuchadnezzar, and Daniel, we're invited to examine our own lives, respond in obedience, and trust in the grace offered through Jesus.

This Sunday we have guest speaker Charles Kimbangi Associate Minister of Christ Church Surbiton Hill speaking on Daniel 4. Charles walks us through King Nebuchadnezzar's story reminding us that God's saves in his timing not ours.

Kwaku, one of our elders and trustees based at our Lee site, brings a message from Daniel 3 on the faith of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. He explores how they trusted God in the face of the fiery furnace, choosing to stand firm even when the outcome was uncertain. Their story reminds us that God's presence is often found not in avoiding the fire, but in walking through it with Him.

This week, Andrew Wilson speaks about what it means to live as faithful exiles in a culture that challenges our identity and values. As we begin our new series in the book of Daniel, Andrew explores how we can live wisely, graciously, and courageously in a world that often pulls us in opposing directions. Drawing parallels between ancient Babylon and life today, Andrew encourages us to stand firm in our faith while showing love to those around us.

In this message Steve Tibbert, our senior pastor, goes through 1 Chronicles 29:1-20 and shares some important news about how we want to invest in the next generation over the next few years.

Easter Earthquakes | EASTER SUNDAY | Andrew Wilson | Matthew 28 by King's Church London

It's Easter Sunday and Joe Macnamara reminds us that even in life's in-between moments, Jesus is not finished with us. The women came to the tomb expecting silence—but were met with wonder, fear, and joy. Jesus meets them on the way—just like he meets us.

In the final message of our series on the cross, we explore Communion—one of the most intimate and powerful images Jesus gave us to understand the gospel. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 10 & 11, we see that the Lord's Supper is more than a symbol; it's a deep spiritual reality where we participate in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. Andrew Wilson walks us through the four names Christians have historically used for this meal—Communion, the Lord's Table, the Breaking of Bread, and the Eucharist—unpacking what each reveals about our unity with Christ and with one another.

​In this sermon, Joe explores Ephesians 2:11–19, highlighting God's intentional design for diversity and how sin distorts it into division. Through Jesus' sacrifice, we're reconciled to God and each other, breaking down barriers and uniting us as one in Christ. This transformative unity surpasses superficial efforts, fostering genuine peace and belonging within God's family.​

In this message, Andrew Wilson looks at Romans 3:21–26 to explore the powerful truth of Redemption — the good news that through Jesus, we've been set free from sin and death. To be redeemed means to be bought back. We were slaves, but through the blood of Christ, God has rescued us. It's a story of freedom through a costly payment. This short passage brings together three big gospel themes — justification, propitiation, and redemption — all fulfilled at the cross. Redemption isn't just something God did in the past; it changes how we live today and gives us hope for the future.

This week Andrew Wilson walks us through Isaiah 53 to teach us the penal substitution of the cross. Outlining the surprise, substitution, silence and spoils of the cross.

Joe highlights Paul's teachings that faith in Christ, not adherence to the law, leads to justification. The discussion contrasts performative behaviour with the freedom of faith, emphasising salvation as a gift of grace. It illustrates the transformation from sin to life in Christ and encourages living in the Spirit out of gratitude for salvation.

This week we had guest speaker David Devenish preaching at our Downham site. David is one of the founding fathers of Newfrontiers. He encourages us to keep going in faith, comparing us to the mustard seed that may seem small and weak it turns into a mighty tree.

This week we had guest speaker Edward Buria preaching at our Catford site. Edward leads Kambakia Christian Centre in Meru, Kenya, overseeing hundreds of churches across East Africa. He encourages us to be witnesses to Christ, using our real life testimonies to spread the gospel.

This week we had guest speaker Vinu Paul preaching from Zachariah at our Lee and Beckenham sites. Vinu leads Living Hope Church in Mumbai, India, and the Commission family of churches. He encourages us to become like magnets for others, inviting them to experience Christ's love and hope.

This week, our guest speaker Alan Frow visiting from Southlands Church in California, takes us through 1 Thessalonians 1. Alan outlines the gospel confidence, resilient love, resounding witness, and singular devotion to Jesus that the Thessalonian Church had, and encourages us to do the same.

This week, Andrew talks about the importance of wisdom in addressing ethical questions raised by modern technology in medicine, relating to life and death. He discusses the role of humans in preserving life while acknowledging that creation and the end of life are ultimately in God's hands.

In this episode, Andrew Wilson, our teaching pastor sits down with Tariq Fernandes, our Church's Comms Manager, to explore the world of Artificial Intelligence.

On Sunday Neal preached about the dangers of Social Media, referencing Ephesians 5 Neal discusses the concerns of the content on social media and the amount of time we waste social media.

This week, Andy Floyd is delving into social media, a powerful tool that has become integral to modern life. Reading from Ephesians 5:6-17 Andy will be doing a ‘social media heart check', working through the key questions surrounding the use of social media: Am I being discerning? Am I walking as a child of light? and Am I wasting time?

How should Christians think about technology? Is it a force for good, or does it come with hidden dangers? In this powerful sermon, Andrew Wilson kicks off our new series, Technology: What We Make of the World, by exploring what the Bible says about human innovation, power, and progress.

This week, Steve Tibbert explores the spiritual discipline of giving as an act of worship and gratitude in response to God's generosity. He invites us to prayerfully consider how we steward our resources and honour God with our finances.

As we begin our 21 Days of Prayer and fasting, this message challenges us to reflect on obedience, devotion, and being led by the Spirit in every season.

Simeon and Anna may be the easiest characters in the Christmas story for us to relate to. Today Andrew looks at the presentation of Jesus in the temple, through the eyes of an old man with only one item on his bucket list.

This week, Andrew explores how we as Christians can celebrate Christmas meaningfully, addressing traditions often misattributed to pagan origins but rooted in Christian history, Victorian influence, and seasonal practices. While some customs may be neutral or problematic, many—such as lights, carols, and gift-giving—symbolise Christ's incarnation and God's gift to humanity. He encourages us to use the season intentionally, sharing the gospel and reflecting on Jesus as the true reason for Christmas.

What gives you the right to call yourself a Christian? Some in the Colossian church were declaring all kinds of ways to judge whether or not someone was "in Christ" but Paul sets them straight - Christ is the only Qualifier and faith in Him is all that you need.

Jesus is both fully God and fully man, offering unmatched comfort and courage. How can His humanity and divinity transform the way you face life's challenges? This short account helps us to see how.

Paul finishes his letter with a series of instructions to the church about ministry in Christ. Andrew highlights one challenge in particular – “see to it that you fulfil the ministry you have received in the Lord” – and shows what kind of equivalents there might be for us.

How should we treat each other as Christians? In this controversial part of Colossians, Paul explores the ideas of mutuality, submission and Lordship when is comes to marriage, parenting and work. And how, ultimately, submitting to Christ's Lordship is what we are called to do.

What does it look like to live a life that is IN Christ? Paul makes it clear there are some things that we need to die to, and put to death but also there are some things we need to put on. These things ultimately lead to our peace and a life pleasing to the Lord.

How do we stop ourselves from drifting away from Jesus? Paul in this section of the letter wants to highlight some of the traps we can fall into as those IN Christ Jesus and the way that we can be saved from them.

Paul's favourite way of describing us is to say that we are “in Christ.” In this passage, Paul shows how his ministry revolves around a mystery that leads to maturity: the astonishing reality that Christ is in us, and we are in Christ.

During the time when Paul wrote his letter to the church in Colosse, there were debates and controversies surrounding the identity of Christ. The church found itself navigating these disputes, influenced by the diverse cultures, ideas, and philosophies present in the city. This week, we are focusing on Jesus, the Son of God, as He is revealed as the image of God, highlighting His supremacy over all things, His role in Creation, and His work in the New Creation.

Today we start a new series on Paul's letter to the Colossians. Paul begins as he often does, with thanksgiving and prayer – but his prayers tell us a lot about the nature of a fruitful and ultimately meaningful life.

If you missed last Sunday or Vision Sunday the week before, Steve Tibbert, our senior pastor, shared some important news about the future leadership of King's. You can watch the full interview with Steve & Deb, Joe & Sylvia and Andrew Wilson as they share some of their story and heart for the future of King's.

This Sunday Joe Speaks from Isaiah 42:1-4 and focuses on the character and leadership of Jesus Christ. He highlights four key aspects of Jesus: His role as a servant, His humility, His compassion, and His ultimate victory. Unlike many leaders, Jesus came to serve others, bringing justice through self-sacrifice. He offers hope to the broken and weak, never abandoning those whose faith feels fragile.

This Vision Sunday our senior pastor, Steve Tibbert, shares some big news with us about the vision and future of King's Church.

Christians believe in the resurrection of the body and the life of the world to come. Today, Andrew shows how Paul describes the future resurrection as sowing a seed, bearing an image, and swallowing a sheet.

Peter writes to a church living in a pagan culture which was persecuting them. Peter encourages the believers to understand who they are in Christ and to be living stones being built into the house of God. He warns them they will feel like exiles and foreigners but that's ok, just be godly strangers, citizens of another Kingdom but known in the world for your goodness. Finally in the church he calls them to be loving servants caring for one another and using their gifts to serve others.

This Sunday is the last of our 'People in Proverbs' series. Andrew focuses on the "woman of noble character" from Proverbs 31, looking at the translation challenges and explores the diverse qualities attributed to this woman, such as diligence, strength, generosity, fearlessness, kindness, and godliness. Andrew emphasises that this passage is not just about setting expectations for women, but about teaching young men to value qualities beyond physical beauty and charm. He highlights how this woman represents wisdom itself, and ultimately, the Church as the bride of Christ.

How do we live as wise people? The Proverbs are so helpful, and Proverbs 26 describes 4 characters (The Fool, The Sluggard, The Quarrerlsome and The Deceiver) as a word of warning and how to conduct ourselves.

Proverbs teaches us godly wisdom using different characters and rhetoric. Today, we meet Lady Wisdom. King Solomon personified wisdom as a desirable lady to persuade his sons to desire wisdom above all else. As we see the Right, Rewarding and Redeeming nature of wisdom, we see our Saviour, Jesus Christ, who calls out to us daily to receive life and love Him because one day, all who love Him will feast with Him in glory.

This week's preach is about The Simple character in Proverbs 9. We don't like to admit we're simple or foolish – surely we just need a little bit of wisdom! In reality we are all called to make a daily choice to go in and eat with wisdom or folly. However ‘Simple' we are, wisdom is on offer and more than that a relationship with the all-knowing, wise God. If we will only turn around, admit our need of wisdom, kneel before the Holy One we will find life and hope.

Proverbs teaches wisdom by introducing several characters who show us what the wise (or foolish) life really looks like. Today we meet one of the most ridiculous: the Sluggard.

Today we start a new series on People in Proverbs and we begin in Proverbs 3:1-18.
