Today we start a new series on 1 Samuel, and we begin where the book does: with a young woman who cannot have children. Andrew shows how Hannah’s story, and particularly her prayer, applies at personal, national and global levels.

This week we have guest speaker Tim Morfin who is chief executive of TLG. TLG is a national Christian children's charity that helps churches to bring hope and a future to struggling children.

This week, Dimeji discusses the significance of Pentecost, recounting the events of Acts 2 where the disciples received the Holy Spirit. He highlights the unity and obedience of the disciples, emphasising their love for Jesus and expectation of his promises. We also explore how this relates this to contemporary unity within the church, stressing the importance of acceptance, understanding, and care for one another.

Over the last few weeks, we’ve looked at the significance of the death and resurrection of Jesus. We are often very familiar with the last supper, but this week we will be looking at the “first breakfast” in John 21. In this sermon we will look at how Jesus recommissions the disciples and what that means for them and then in turn what this looks like for us in 21st Century London.

This week, we are looking at the resurrection appearances of Jesus to the women and the disciples in Matthew 28. We can identify with their responses which are filled with emotion: they are afraid yet filled with joy, worshipping Jesus yet some are doubting. Jesus calls them all to follow him and go into the nations, believing He has authority over all things and He is with them.

When the disciples heard the news that Jesus had risen from the dead, they reacted in two very different ways. Most of them dismissed it; Peter investigated it. Those two reactions to Easter Sunday are still being played out today.
