Sps Talks

Guest speaker Ven. Liz Adekunle John's gospel recalls some of Jesus' most powerful teachings, but Nicodemus had a lot to learn. Surrounded by religious and moral teaching, even we can still struggle to truly accept God's love.

As we look at the first of many miracles Jesus performs, Philippa takes the opportunity to marvel at God's great generosity.

The beginning of John’s Gospel continues with Jesus making himself known to the Jews of Israel. You wouldn’t be the first to ask Jesus – are you the One?

Simon kicks off our new series in the Gospel of John... As word spread of the coming Messiah, there were those who were doubtful, and there were those who believed. Will you be His witness?

Just as everyone's story is different, so too are the ways we contribute to His kingdom. Hear from three of our team as they discuss giving from a personal point of view.

There are challenges and questions we must ask ourselves when we think about giving. Three of our team explain how they manage generosity.

Put your trust in Him as you give, in the full knowledge of His promise to come. Timi explains biblically and practically how we can put giving at the centre of our worship.

For God so loved… Giving is not just about sacrificing what we have. It's about showing our love. As we think about how we can be generous, Phil reminds us why it is so important to give.

No matter how far apart you feel from the world, God's love will always remain.

What do you do when times are tough? If Jesus himself suffered at the cross, what greater coach is there?

The Sign by St Paul's Shadwell

How did I get here? How do I get out? God knows us so well that we often don't even realise. As we wander away from God's presence, know that he will remain beside you.

Through Jonah, Nineveh was granted a second chance by God. What will you do with yours?

As we continue our series through Jonah, Simon looks at how we react when we're faced with life's challenges, and what might be going on in these darker times.

We all have storms in our lives. Are they as literal as Jonah's?  Simon asks us what we do in troubling times. Will you run?

Self-doubt, fears, uncertainty. To feel this way is to be human. And so is to be loved.  Phil draws upon Moses' story to remind us of this truth.

By landing well, teaches Phil, we can build a strong foundation. Invest in those around us as we are blessed to be a blessing.

Do you sometimes find yourself ignoring the call of God? You're not alone – together we can land on our feet, and be launched into a new direction. Learn more as Bernhard recounts the life of Jonah.

We may at times feel blessed, or in God's favour. But how can we be sure? Simon Gibbes explores what the gospel has to say.

Adam Atkinson returns to remind us of the VISION of Planting Churches.  Where have you come from? Where are you going to? Find out how these questions relate to your own journey and the importance of Planting Churches.
