King's Church London

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.
