Teaching ministry from the charismatic Cambridge church
Join us in this sermon as Pastor Julian shares with us what circumcision means to us as believers in this day and age.
We are excited to have with us guest Deborah McDermott who has a powerful testimony of her two children being healed of autism (doctor confirmed).
Jesus said if we seek Him, we will find Him. God has given us an open invitation to come to Him. But He often allows us to go through seasons that will provoke a desire in our hearts to seek Him and be filled by what He offers and not what the world offers. In this message, Pastor Julian Mabey challenges us to seek God in this season as we birth what He wants to do in our lives both individually and corporately as a church.
Peter Cavanna exhorts all prodigals, all of those who have wandered away, to come back into the Father's house. He reminds us that sometimes we may think and act like the lost son. Equally, there may be times when we see traits of the older brother in us as well. This message, based on Luke 15:11–32, powerfully encourages us and stirs us to change.
In James 1:12, we are encouraged to not fill up our spirits with wickedness, filthiness, or any other sinful traits. For that reason, Pastor Julian is exhorting us in this message to stay deeply rooted in the word of God, make room for the good seed in our hearts, and prepare ourselves to receive it. This is essential to our spiritual growth and daily sustenance.
During the last supper with His disciples, Jesus instituted the new covenant and gave a commandment for us to take communion as often as we can, in remembrance of Him. In this communion service, Pastor Julian reminds us of the significance of the last supper and shares with us what the new covenant is and how we can walk in the realisation of the better promises upon which it is established.
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is a foundational truth in the Word of God. This was expressed in the life of Jesus when He got water baptised and the Holy Spirit descended on Him like a dove after He came out of the water, launching Him into a ministry of miracles, signs and wonders. As we celebrate Pentecost Sunday, we are encouraged to follow the example of Jesus by being baptised in the Holy Spirit so we can carry on the ministry that He began.
Any attempt to please God in our own strength or in our own way is very laborious and cannot produce a lasting fruit. In fact, our righteousness is like filthy rags before God. In his sermon, Pastor Julian Mabey shares with us the provisions that God has made for us through Jesus Christ to serve Him efficiently without having to rely on our own strength.
Like in Genesis 1:1–2, the Spirit of God is hovering over our lives and His church and is waiting to spring into action in conjunction with the word of God. But if we do not have a desire and passion for Him to fill us and enable us to be involved in what He is doing, we will just become relics and walk in compromise. Join us in this sermon as Pastor Julian Mabey challenges us to develop a thirst for the Holy Spirit so that we might know what it really means for Him to fill our lives and the church.
In Acts 28, the islanders in Malta kindly received Paul and the other travellers who were with him, even though they were all strangers to them. In his message, our guest minister, Peter Cavanna, highlights some valuable lessons from this account on how the church can be kind and hospitable to people that walk through our doors, regardless of how different they are from us.
Luke 24 gives an account of how Jesus walked with two disciples who were on their way to Emmaus, and they did not recognise Him. Why could they not recognise Him? How is it that God can be so close to us, yet we cannot see Him? In this message, our guest speaker, Peter Cavanna, expands on this account and shares some insights on how God could be in our blind spots sometimes.
When God created Adam, He breathed into him the breath of life to enable him to live and carry out his assignment in the garden of Eden. Similarly, as Christians, God has made provisions in the person of the Holy Spirit to empower us to live a fruitful life on earth. We are not meant to live according to our own abilities. Join us in this message as Dhanga Mhango shares with us what the role of the Holy Spirit is for us as Christians and how we can take advantage of His ministry in our lives.
When we hear the gospel message, we can choose to either embrace it or keep God at arm's length. The reality is that no matter how clearly the message is communicated, some will reject God while others will accept Him. This is apparent in the account of God's chosen people, Israel, who rejected Him numerous times in spite of all He did for them and through them. In his sermon, Emmanuel Donor encourages us to obey God and allow Him to reign in our lives at all times.
Before his death, Jesus prepared the disciples by telling them he would die and rise again on the third day. However, when he died, the disciples lived in fear and in such a way that showed they seemingly had forgotten what Jesus told them. In this Easter sermon, Jean-Louis expands on the story of the resurrection of Jesus and encourages us to live a life of faith by constantly looking to Jesus and believing in what He says to us in spite of the circumstances.
Often we say that God has the highest priority in our lives, but the time we spend with Him is very little compared to the time we spend at work, with our families or on entertainment. Could it be that we have got our priorities wrong as they say actions speak louder than words? Gerry Beeves challenges us in this sermon to re-examine our priorities and put our relationship with God above all other things in our lives.
There are seasons in our Christian walk that God will take us into some kind of wilderness for a purpose that He has prescribed for our lives. As seen in several examples in the bible, wilderness seasons are not forever and are not meant to destroy us. Join us in this message as our guest minister, Julian Mabey, encourages us to embrace wilderness as seasons when God teaches us things and carries out His specific purpose of preparing us for what is coming next.
Disappointments do occur in life and are sometimes due to unmet expectations or fallout from our own past choices or decisions that other people make on our behalf. In his message, Jean-Louis draws an example from the story of Nehemiah to show us how the human heart naturally reacts to unfavourable outcomes and how we should instead strive to adopt a godly response in dealing with disappointments.
When he was in chains in a prison, Paul said in Philippians 3:14 that he was “pressing on.” How was he able to press on while being under restriction and chained to a wall? What did he really mean by pressing on? Join us in this sermon as Peter Cavanna sheds light on what it means to press on and how it applies to our walk with God.
Lots of people talk about christianity as if it is a pie in the sky when you die. Some say it is a hard thing to be a Christian, but you can get through, just keep going, and eventually your reward is in heaven and it awaits you. This is true, but it is not the whole picture that Jesus wants us to take. Jesus said that he has come to give us life abundantly, and not just to scrape through. Join us in this sermon as Gerry Beeves inspires us to realise how wonderful and blessed it is to be a Christian.
Many of us are going through challenges today and do not fully realise yet that God is with us and He is able to lead us into victory. We may not know how or when, but like Jesus brought Lazarus back to life in John 11, God is able to resurrect any ‘dead' situations in our lives if we can trust in Him. Join us in this sermon as we learn how to approach situations in our lives with hope in God who is mindful of us.
According to 1 Peter 2:9, God's calling upon our lives affects our generation and is not limited to us as individuals. However, our day to day activities, which include juggling with various responsibilities and managing the challenges that come with them, have occupied our time and energy so much more that we are comfortable with getting by, not to speak of affecting our generation. In this sermon, Dhanga Mhango shares with us how to operate effectively in our calling as a priest to our generation.
As Christians, we have ample examples in the book of Acts and in Paul's epistles of how the church, despite its imperfections, can still effectively fulfil its mandate of carrying and expanding the kingdom of God on earth. In this message, we take a look at the Philippian church and learn how we can draw from them a blueprint for our effectiveness and relevance in today's post-modern society.
In Daniel 3, we read about the three devout Hebrew boys that were thrown into the fiery furnace for standing for God and refusing to bow down to the image and idols that everyone else was worshipping in Babylon. Our guest speaker, Peter Cavanna, shares with us how this story is still very much relevant to our lives today and the lessons we can learn from it, as we live in a culture that is different and frequently averse to the Christian way.
The role of the shepherd is very important to the welfare of the sheep. It is known that the shepherd walks the path first before taking the sheep on a journey, especially in unfamiliar territory. He creates a bridge for the sheep to cross a river. He navigates the path for the sheep to avoid dangerous areas. In his sermon, our guest minister, Julian Mabey shares with us the truth that Jesus is our Shepherd and He makes a way for us where there seems to be no way.
As we begin to journey through 2023, it is important that we stay the course. This is what God wants from us. Listen to this sermon as Emmanuel Donkor shares with us how we can win with perseverance the race which is set before us despite the obstacles that beset us, and moreso stay the course until our purpose is fulfilled.
The church, both global and local, as well as individual christians are in one of the most challenging times. However, God has made a provision for us to overcome by seeking His face. Join us in this sermon as we explore the need for us as children of God to embrace a lifestyle of prayer.
Quite often, when we pray to God, our prayer consists mostly of the things we want Him to do for us. We should however remember what God has done for us and approach Him with a heart of gratitude. In this sermon, Gerry Beeves shares with us the importance of spending time to give thanks to God in our prayers.
Join us as Peter Cavanna shares the word with us in our Sunday service on August 28, 2022.
Sermon by Jane Cavanna at King's Church Cambridge on Sunday, April 24, 2022.
In his letter to the church at Philippi, the Apostle Paul encourages them to display the same humility, servant heart, and unity as Christ did so that the world would see Jesus through them. The mandate to the church is still the same today - we are to conduct ourselves in a manner that clearly reflects Christ so that our message will have full impact. Jean-Louis brings a timely reminder that in spite of what is going on around us, we are to be a church that mirrors Christ in all we do. Listen now!
In the Apostle Paul's letter to the Thessalonians, he reminded them that because of their higher calling, they were to live in such a way that they made a positive mark on the world around them. The same is true for the church today as well - we are to spread the influence of God's Kingdom wherever we find ourselves! Phil Shaw outlines the plans for this year in our special Vision Sunday service, and reminds us that we are not called to adapt to our culture, but to permeate it. Not to be missed!
Life can feel like a game of chess where the enemy has got us in ‘checkmate' mode sometimes. This can be due to illness, addictions, or other external pressures which tell us that there is no hope and that we should give up on God. The reality is that God can reverse any situation, and His word stands above any circumstance we find ourselves in if we put our trust in Him. Sujith Alex opens the word of God and reminds us that no matter how dire things look in our lives, the King has one more move!
King David is attributed with writing most of the psalms in the Bible. Some of the songs he wrote came from times when he was being pursued by his enemies who wanted to take his life, but David always seemed to find solace in God even in the darkest of times. What was his secret to finding comfort in God's love in the midst of his trials? Sujith Alex brings a powerful word to show us how we can write our own fight songs in our battles. Listen now!
The story of Jesus' birth is one most of us are familiar with. However, it is easy to miss the intricate details of how God providentially protected Jesus from the plans of the enemy so He could complete His ministry. Is God calling you out of your comfort zone today so He can use you? Steve Cassidy brings the word of God this week. Not to be missed!
One of the core beliefs in Christianity is that we are saved by the grace of God. The Apostle Paul reminds the church in his letter to the Romans that we receive this grace through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. However, we often get to a point in our lives where we try to add our own works and create a form of salvation we are “comfortable” with. Philip Shaw brings a timely reminder this week that it is the same grace that saves us that will sustain us for the race if we keep our trust in God. Listen now!
In the second part of his two part sermon, Jarrod Cooper opens the word of God and shows us how we can practically live out God's plans for our lives by finding our Kingdom assignments and aligning our dreams to God's dreams. Not to be missed!
God had a plan for mankind from the beginning, and all we need to do is to find our place in that plan in order to walk in His purpose. However, we often try to make our dreams the source of our purpose rather than following in Jesus' footsteps and denying ourselves. So how do we get back on track and fulfil God's dream? Join us this week as Jarrod Cooper brings the word of God.
What do you do when you cannot see God at work in your life? There are moments in our lives where we can feel like there is never any positive change, but when we receive Jesus into our hearts, God is always working beneath the surface to transform us into His image. However, we still need to let go of the things Jesus died to set us free from, so we can fully experience the new life in Christ. Phil Saw brings a timely reminder that there is more to God's work in us than meets the eye!
In His last moments before going to the cross, Jesus reminded His disciples that despite the unrest in the world, He would give them peace through His Holy Spirit to carry them through any circumstance. That same peace is available for all followers of Jesus today, but we must first come to Him in order to have a relationship that will enable His Spirit to work in us and through us. Join us this week as Patience Tilbury encourages us to walk in God's peace which He freely gives to all His Children!
The word of God gives us clear instructions as to which fights to stand our grounds on, and which to flee, but we often forget to do either of those and try to fight in our own strength. Are you engaged in a fight that God has already won for you? Do you need to refocus your mind so that you can win the fights that you should be fighting? Phil Shaw brings the word of God this week and shows us how to pick (and win!) the right fights. Not to be missed!
The Bible tells us that God has good plans for our lives, but it is easy to forget this in difficult times and start questioning whether God really is in control. However, the truth is that God is always working and even though we may not see it and it does not make sense, we need to trust Him because He cares for us. Phil Shaw opens the word of God this week, and encourages us that we can be confident that what God starts, He will bring to completion!
A new year is usually the time when we make resolutions to do things a little better than before, or some other form of self-improvement. However, as Christians, we do not need to wait for a new year to get our lives in order - every day is a new opportunity to say "it is time for a change!" Jean-Louis brings the word of God to challenge us to live in a state of readiness for Jesus in order to bring glory to His Name. Listen now!
What takes the place of primary importance in your life? Is it family, career, or relationships? Whilst all these things are good, we need to give God the center of our hearts, because that is the only way He can direct our paths. As we close out 2019, Phil Shaw opens the word of God and reminds us that Jesus is looking for those who are ready to fully yield to Him so He can use them to accomplish His perfect will. Not to be missed!
When Mary heard from Gabriel that she would give birth to the Saviour, she put her trust in God and accepted the responsibility, even after realising the huge impact it would have on her life. In his Christmas message, Peter Shaw shows us through Mary's story in Luke 1 that our response to God's plan of redemption should be that of trust in Jesus who came and paid the price for our salvation. Listen now!
In this sermon, Steve Cassidy reiterates that as the church of Jesus Christ (Ekklesia), our relevance in an increasingly chaotic world is evidenced in our unity of purpose, spirit and also in serving one another. It is only when we show this unity backed by the Holy Spirit that we can see the power of God demonstrated in our lives.
Trusting God is not just about believing His word, but also listening to everything He has to say to you, and most importantly, doing it. However, we can get in a position where we do not hear from God because we have blocked Him out - but God is always speaking, and we can re-tune in to what He is saying! Phil Shaw opens the word of God this week to show us that there is power in listening to, and following God's instructions. Not to be missed!
How can we be sure that God is living in us? In the parable of the Prodigal Son, the turning point in the story was when he "came to his senses" and realised that he needed to be restored to his father. God is always ready to make His home in our hearts if we allow Him, and when we do He, will bring restoration, freedom, and renewal so we can walk in the fullness of all that He has called us to be!
We can hear the amazing testimonies of other Christians and think “I could never do that!” However, the reality is that we are called to spread the good news about Jesus, and if He has called us, He will also equip us to show His love and grace through signs and wonders! This week, Mark Marx shares some testimonies of how God is working to build His Kingdom all over the world. Not to be missed!

When we face life's challenges as Christians, we can either give in or push through. In the story of the paralytic who was brought to Jesus through a roof, we see how the perseverance of his friends got Jesus' attention and response! How are you going to respond to your next challenge? Will you allow it to affect your perseverance, perception, and praise, or will you lay it down at Jesus' feet? Listen now!
It is possible to have knowledge of God without actually knowing Him personally. Jesus wants us to know Him and experience all His fullness, but the cares of life and even sometimes our responsibilities in church can take us away from pursuing true intimacy with Christ. So how do we keep the fire of intimacy with Jesus burning? Eric Gilmour opens the word of God and reminds us that if we draw close to Jesus, He is always ready to draw close to us.
