This week in Revelation 12 we look at what it means that the great dragon has been defeated and cast from the heavens; that though we are in the wilderness, we are conquerors!
As we reach the halfway point in the book of Revelation, John begins to preach from the scroll he receives. Through powerful symbolism, he shows us the witness, power, persecution and triumph of the Church.
Revelation probably raises more questions than any other book of the Bible. The imagery, chronology, style, symbolism and plot can all be confusing, and can raise all kinds of questions which we cannot always cover on Sundays. In this evening seminar, hosted by Andrew Wilson, our Teaching Pastor, we will get into a number of these issues in more detail, through teaching, interactive discussion and Q&A.
Who can stand? Those who are sealed, those who are saved and those who have a shepherd. This message by our Senior Pastor, Steve Tibbert looks at Revelation chapters 6, 7 and 8:1-5. The whole of the Revelation series is available at kingschurchlondon.org/revelation.
Who is worthy to open the scroll? Who can bring God’s Kingdom plans? Only the lamb-like Lion of Judah. The Lion who roars and the Lamb who saves! This message by Joe Macnamara, leader of our Downham site, looks at Revelation chapter 5. The whole of the Revelation series which is available at kingschurchlondon.org/revelation.
Phil talks about 'the throne' as being the centre of John's vision in Revelation 4. The passage gives us a great future hope and also confidence about our present reality.
What does the victorious Christian life look like? What do overcomers or conquerors have in common? Jesus gives us seven examples in his letters to the seven churches.
What kind of book is Revelation? How are we supposed to make sense of it, and what is it fundamentally about? Andrew opens our new teaching series on the Bible’s last word. “Revelation is an unveiling, an unmasking, a disclosure of the powers at work behind the scenes. The world looks like a sequence of material causes, until the spiritual dynamics behind them are revealed.” “Jesus says to John: you have absolutely nothing to fear. I am the first and the last, and the living one. I have been thr...

Jesus gives us living water to satisfy our spiritual thirst.
Isaiah 53 was written seven centuries before Jesus died and rose again, but it describes the power of the cross like almost nowhere else in Scripture.
In a short story about a wine running out at a wedding, Jesus teaches us what it means to be a faithful and obedient people who do ‘whatever he tells us.’ “Obedience is the place where miracles happen.” “Jesus came to bring us every lasting peace and joy, but to do it, he knew he had to die.”

The first time Jesus visited, the people told him to leave. The second time he visited, he got the biggest response of his entire ministry. And the difference was the power of one person telling their story. This message by Phil Varley, our Associate Pastor, is the fifth in our eight-week REACH series. For more information about the series and the devotional workbook accompanying it, visit kingschurchlondon.org/reach.
Jesus was very comfortable confronting people when he told them about the kingdom of God. Why did he do this? Why should we, in some situations? And how do we do it well? Andrew Wilson, our Teaching Pastor, answers these questions in this message, the fourth in our REACH series. For more information about the series and the devotional workbook that accompanies it, visit kingschurchlondon.org/reach.

Jesus calls us to reach others through eating with them. In Luke 19 Jesus went out of his way to spend time with Zacchaeus, a tax collector. He seemed the least likely person in Jericho to be interested in Jesus or to end up transformed and giving away his ill-gotten wealth, but that’s what happened. This message by Hilary Dalziel, who helps lead our Catford site, is the third in our eight-week REACH series. For more information about the series and the devotional workbook that accompanies it, v...
REACH - Remember in Prayer Reaching people with the Gospel is central to the Christian life, but it’s also something many people find difficult, awkward or scary. In this passage Jesus gives us three reasons to be encouraged, and invites us to do the first thing first: to remember to pray.

Phil speaks about God's power being available to us and presents two main reasons why sometimes we do not experience 'all the power' that God may have for us.
Paul describes Christians as anointed with the Spirit, sealed with the Spirit, and given the Spirit as a guarantee. What do these images mean, and how do they help us encounter God?
Phil Varley, our Associate Pastor, looks at baptism in the Holy Spirit. He encourages us, whatever our view, to ask again and again for God, by His Spirit, to do more in us and through us, cultivating a life that is dependent on Him. This is the second message in our four-part ENCOUNTER series.
Paul tells us to “be filled with the Spirit”. But what does that actually mean? Is it a habit, or an experience, or both? And how do we go about it? Find out in this message by Andrew Wilson, our Teaching Pastor, the first in our four-part ENCOUNTER series.
When we behold the wonder of Jesus it should lead us to declare the good news to everyone we meet.
The first people ever to bow down before Jesus were pagan astrologers. The magi saw a wonder, found themselves wondering about it, and then their wonder turned to worship.
When the shepherds in the Christmas story explained what had happened, everyone “wondered” at what they heard. But the thing that made everyone wonder was not the angel choir, or even the manger. It was the saying the angels had told them: this child is a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.
The gospel writers draw us into the wonder of God’s eternal plan which unfolds in the coming of Jesus as Saviour. It is an amazing wonder that God’s plan depends on a young girl who says yes to becoming a mother. Will we say yes to Jesus as He reveals himself to us this Christmas?
