Asking | REACH | Andrew Wilson | John 1:35-51
Jesus often reached people by asking them questions. Andrew considers some from the start of John’s Gospel, and consider what they can teach us about reaching people today.

Jesus often reached people by asking them questions. Andrew considers some from the start of John’s Gospel, and consider what they can teach us about reaching people today.
What does it mean to be a follower of Jesus? He makes it clear from the outset that it isn’t a passive thing but involves being caught up in his wonderful mission of reaching people. We see this in pattern in the way he calls the first disciples to follow him.
In the final week of the series on pray, we will be looing at the relationship between prayer and worship. Paul demonstrates this as he prays for the church in Ephesians (Eph 3:14-21) ending with a time of worship and praise. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.
Why do so many non-Christian’s pray? How do we respond to unanswered prayer? What’s the relationship between faith and unbelief? All these themes are dealt with in this short story from Mark 9.
Prayer and fasting is much less common in our world than it was in first century Israel, but if anything it has become even more important. In today’s passage, Jesus teaches his disciples how to fast – not just from food, but from the spiritual pride and human praise that we often seek.
Steve Tibbert, our Serior Pastor, starts our 21 Days of Prayer encouraging us to come boldly into God's presence as we start the new year in prayer and worship together as a church.
Paul calls the church “a pillar and buttress of the truth”: a structure that supports and lifts high the gospel of Jesus Christ. In our generation that means a number of challenges – and a number of opportunities.
The story of the magi, the wise men, calls us to look up and see Jesus – there we will find joy. Let’s not look down and get lost in the things we have to do, buy and cook at Christmas time but instead let’s see Jesus and worship him today.
Christmas is a time of call-and-response. Heaven sings, and invites the earth to join in.
This year we will be thinking about Christmas as the time when, as the hymn puts it, Heaven and Nature Sing. Andrew starts Advent by looking at the story of the Fall, and the curse that Jesus came to overcome: not just on human beings, but on creation as a whole.
Today we finish our Spirit Filled series by looking at the gift of languages, or tongues. What is the gift for? And how do we use it to build up ourselves, each other, and people who do not yet know Jesus?

In this seminar, Andrew Wilson, our teaching pastor, shares some thoughts about the conflict in Israel and Gaza. With a focus on grounding our understanding in biblical principles, Andrew guides us through thoughtful ways to approach this subject. The seminar aims to equip us with the tools to think critically, pray with intention, and engage constructively with the ongoing situation. This session is designed to foster a deeper understanding and respectful dialogue, emphasising the importance of...
What is the gift of prophecy and how are we to use the gift in the public gathering? In1 Cor Paul teaches us both what prophesy is and how it is to be administered. In days when many people have abused the gift of prophecy and we can be sceptical, Paul’s exhortation to be a people who eagerly desire the gifts is an important one.
Spiritual gifts are not given to a select few but are for all believers to use to glorify God and build up others. Andy unpacks Paul's vision of the church as a unified body with all of the parts operating in a healthy way with every part needing each other.
Sometimes the work of the Holy Spirit is sudden and obvious, but often it is slow and hidden. This week we look at what it looks like to live a life waking with the Spirit and how overtime that produces good fruit in us that help us live lives pleasing to the Lord.

Romans 8 encourages us to be people that live life according to the Sprit and not the flesh. My testimony is that living a life in the Spirit is helped by living a life of prayer and reading the bible to help you in your daily walk.
The Holy Spirit assures us that we are children of God: loved, secure, and destined for glory. Andrew explores how this happens in Romans 8, through the cries of the Spirit: of adoption, of hope, and of prayer.
This week we look at Acts 8 and how being filled with the Holy Spirit is not just for personal encounter, but ultimately for us to be witnesses of all that God is doing in our lives and to share the Gospel with those around us.
Andrew considers what baptism in the Spirit is, how and how often it happens, and how we pursue it.

How could Jesus have possibly meant that it's better that He leaves His disciples and sends the Spirit? In His teaching recorded in John 14, He reveals exactly why that is.
This Vision Sunday, Steve Tibbert shares some of our hopes and aims for King’s over the coming year, with an important update on how we plan to Reach, Restore and Resource our community and the wider global church.
In response to Peter preaching the gospel in Acts 2, we read that those listening are ‘cut to the heart’, and respond by asking the disciples, “Brothers, what shall we do now?”. A.W Tozer say’s, “When the crowd says, ‘What Shall we do?’…. This is the deep heart cry of every man who suddenly realises that he is a usurper and sits on a stolen throne.” There is but one sits on the throne. “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb, be praise and honour and glory and power, for ever and ever!”...
This week Guest Speaker Andrew Bunt speaks on the topic of Singleness.
The Scriptures place a very high value on children. Andrew walks through some of the implications, particularly surrounding abortion, adoption, and grace.
This is the last parable of Jesus in the book of Mark before the beginning of his journey to the cross. The parable is about a master assigning tasks to his servants while he is away from his house. The parable warns that the master, Jesus, will be returning unexpectedly and the need for us, the stewards, to remain watchful for his return. As we look at this parable, we discuss some causes of complacency and also how we can avoid this as we continue in our stewardship.
Through this parable, Jesus reveals his identity and authority. The parable centres on a vineyard owner who sends messengers, including his son, to the tenants, symbolising God's relationship with Israel. Jesus emphasises his authority as the cornerstone, challenging us to understand his humble yet key role. As we explore this parable's message, we're prompted to examine our own sources of authority and decide how we respond to Jesus' call in contemporary South East London.
Many people have heard the phrase "Cleanliness is next to godliness," but is it? In this parable Jesus teaches us what makes us clean and unclean and how we can come to The Father with every confidence that we are accepted.
