King's Church London

What does it look like for us to make God the priority in our life this year? For him to be the centre and the thing we build our life around? As we start our new series we look at the question using the exchanges Jesus has with 3 individuals in Luke 9.

The birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, the “house of bread,” provides a beautiful picture of the whole Christian gospel. Merry Christmas!

The three wise men come in search of the King of the Jews, and in the process we discover that Jesus is also King of the Gentiles, King of the Universe and King of Kings.

We conclude our Undivided series by looking at how we respond to all that Paul has taught us about race, grace and Galatians. His focus in chapter 6 is on what we carry, how we persevere, and where we boast.

As we look at Galatians 5 we are challenged to apply Paul’s words and live differently. He teaches us that the word not the world must define how we tackle race. The spirit not the flesh brings real change and love not the law is the only way forward.

When we look at this passage in Galatians, we see that Paul emphasises the gospel and how it has set the Galatians free from being ‘slaves’ to an old way of living. They need to know that they have been set free by the personal saving work of Christ. It is this freedom that reorientates and renews the way in which they think, speak and act. This passage shows us today that we too have been set free to live in a new way, once we have put our faith in Christ. This means that we have the power of the Holy Spirit in us, empowering us to bring justice into the world in a gospel centred way.

As a church we are one in Christ and this unifying truth is what enables us to come together and be joined together as one body. This week Steve looks at how King’s has changed over the years and shares some of the journey we have been on around race and diversity.

One Saviour. God has always desired a diverse people for Himself, and this is at the very center of His heart. Right back in Genesis, when God called Abraham and made promises to him, the promise was that through Abraham’s family all nations would be blessed. In this message, Charles (Pastor and Site Leader) explains how the whole bible story points towards many people groups coming together to be one in Christ.

One Faith. We all have many things that make up our identity, our culture, our history, our family and many more. Paul calls these things of the flesh, the parts of our identity that are based on our physical bodies. These things are important they should be celebrated and should not be ignored. But for the follower of Christ the most aspect of your identity should be your faith in Christ, who he is, where he’s from and what he has done.

God invites us to One Table where everyone is welcome, united and equal. As Christians we need to confront racism to reflect God's heart and preserve the unity of the body of Christ.
