King's Church London

The Antioch Church was a thriving Church in many ways, but one area we must not overlook is the foundational role that prayer (with fasting) and worship played in the life of this community. Moses is one of the pastors at the Downham site.

The Antioch church was the first church in history to wrestle with the joys and challenges of ethnic diversity. Their experience, and the way the apostles responded to it, is hugely helpful for us as we pursue a diversity of grace, not of works. Andrew is our Teaching Pastor here at King's.

The church in Antioch was visibly characterised by gifts of the Holy Spirit. Andrew explains what the Spirit did in Antioch, and why we believe he does the same things today.

In an age of cancel culture, how do we understand what grace is? It’s something that we see through the scriptures, and is clearly evident in the church in Antioch. Today we look at what it means to be gracious to one another but also receive the grace of God.

Luke tells us that “the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch”. So what is discipleship, and what do people (and churches) committed to discipleship actually do? Andrew is our Teaching Pastor

What does Easter Sunday really mean? In His first encounter with the disciples after He raises from the dead, recorded in John 20, Jesus shows them that it means peace, purpose, and power! Joe is one of our Pastors and leader of our Downham site.

Jesus’ betrayal in the Garden of Gethsemane presents a moment for us to stop and reflect on all the ways we, in our own lives, betray Jesus and go our own way like Judas. But in John’s gospel we encounter the Lordship of Jesus in the garden, and His willingness to pay for our betrayal and sin so we can come back to the Father. The garden for Jesus was a place of wrestling, torment and prayer – but He emerges in power, ready to purchase our salvation. Jason is one of our Pastors based at our Catford site.

The Word of God was central to the early church and it should be central today, both for us as a church and as individual believers. Scott unpacks how the Word of God is inspired, is to be received and is to be lived, before sharing his PRRP approach to reading the Bible. Scott leads the eldership team at River of Life Church in Harare, Zimbabwe and the Disciple Nations family of churches, part of Newfrontiers. He has been married to Claire for over 20 years and they have two children.

The Antioch church was a generous church committed to supporting Christians back in Judea facing famine. They responded to the prophetic word which described the need, they planned their giving, they gave in proportion to what they had, and they became a channel of Gods provision. As individuals and as a church how can we grow in generosity and faith? How can we trust in God to help us to fulfill our mission and be a resource to our community and other churches across the world. Hilary helps lead our Catford site.

Jesus has an encounter with a Samaritan woman, someone who culturally He should not have noticed or paid any regard to. But what does He do? In this interaction we see Jesus demonstrating who He is and what He came to do.
