This week, Adnan (Mile End Service) teaches from Acts 17 – looking at Paul’s time in Athens. We see what the story teaches about communicating the hope of Jesus in a spiritually contested city, and how the passage points to the reality of God’s presence in making sense of our world, relationship with God making sense of us, and the resurrection making sense of our hope in Jesus.

Standalone: Life In His Name - Andy Tilsley
This week at our Mile End service, Andy Tilsley preached from John’s Gospel and its connection to our longing for ‘Eden life’ – the fullness of life intended by God since creation in Genesis 1. We look at how Jesus, as the ‘second Adam’, re-enters Eden through his death and resurrection, and invites us back into deep personal connection with God, and commissions us to bring others into this life they were created for.

Standalone: Justice and Compassion - Haejin Shim Fujimura
This week in our Central service, we had guest speaker Haejin Shim Fujimura. Haejin Shim is an experienced lawyer and co-founder and CEO of Embers International, who work to restore and empower victims of injustice and prevent human trafficking. In this talk, she explores the story of the paralysed man in Mark 2. We look at the faith and intercessory love of his friends, who carry his burden to Jesus for healing and forgiveness, and what this means for our faith and call as disciples.

Acts: Philippi - Andy Tilsley
This week, Andy (Sutton Service) speaks on the Philippian church in Acts 16, focussing on their call to reach the unchurched. As recent UK trends show a growing openness to faith, we see how the passage urges both prayer and action in our context – recognising salvation is wholly God’s work in and through us as followers of Jesus.
