    Preparing for the Global Church | Acts 13 | Eben Adu

    In this chapel talk from Oak Hill College, Eben Adu reflects on how the global landscape of Christianity is changing—and how we must be prepared to respond. With the majority of Christians now living in the Global South, the church is no longer centred in the West. What does this mean for ministry in the UK? How do we engage a diverse, multicultural, and multi-faith society with wisdom and humility? This talk explores mission in today’s world, calling us to be culturally aware, spiritually grounded, and ready to serve wherever God sends us.

    Blessed Are Those Who Mourn | Matthew 5:1-12 | Vaughan Roberts

    “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” — Matthew 5:4 What does Jesus mean? How can mourning possibly be blessed? In this Oak Hill College Chapel message, Vaughan Roberts opens the second Beatitude and explores what it truly means to grieve over sin — our own, the church’s, and the world’s — and how that mourning leads to the deep comfort of the gospel. This is a searching message about repentance, shame, confession, and the astonishing comfort found in Christ. 📖 Passage: Matthew 5:4 📍 Oak Hill College Chapel 🎙 Speaker: Vaughan Roberts If this talk serves you, consider sharing it with someone who needs both conviction and comfort.

    The DNA of a Healthy Church | Acts 11-13 | John Percival

    What does a healthy church look like? In this Oak Hill College Chapel message, we explore the “spiritual DNA” of the church at Antioch in Acts of the Apostles 11–13. Antioch was a diverse, strategic, international church — and a model of gospel health. From this passage we see that: Jesus plants his church Jesus grows his church Jesus uses his church Through ordinary believers, encouragement, faithful teaching, generous giving, and strategic sending, God builds and advances his kingdom. What would it look like for that same DNA to be visible in our churches today? 📖 Passage: Acts 11:19–26; 13:1–3 📍 Oak Hill College Chapel 🎙 Speaker: John Percival John Percival is Senior Pastor of Eden Baptist Church. He previously served in pastoral ministry in London and Hong Kong, and has a longstanding commitment to expository preaching, church health, and training leaders for gospel ministry.

  7. Unleash the Gospel on Your Pride | Daniel 5 | Rob Hudson

    Unleash the Gospel on Your Pride | Daniel 5 | Rob Hudson

    What if pride is the hidden root beneath so many of our struggles? In this Oak Hill College Chapel talk, we explore Daniel 5 and the fall of Belshazzar — a king whose pride looked obvious and foolish. But pride isn’t always loud or boastful. More often, it hides behind perfectionism, prayerlessness, anxiety, carelessness, even ministry. Daniel 5 shines a light on the foolishness of pride. But it doesn’t just tell us to “try harder” or “be more humble.” Instead, it points us to the Most High God — and ultimately to King Jesus, who uses all his power in a posture of humility for a purpose of love. The gospel doesn’t just expose pride. It frees us from it. “Turn from foolish pride by trusting the humble King.” 📖 Passage: Daniel 5 📍 Oak Hill College Chapel 🎙 Speaker: Rob Hudson If this talk served you, consider sharing it with someone who might be encouraged.

    What Does It Really Mean to Know God? | Jeremiah 9 | Chris Wright

    In this sermon, Chris Wright @LanghamPartnershipUKI explores one of the most searching biblical questions: what does it really mean to know God? Drawing from Jeremiah 9:23–24, Wright challenges the common assumption that knowing God is primarily about knowledge, experience, or spiritual privilege. Instead, Scripture defines knowing God as sharing in what God Himself delights in — steadfast love, justice, and righteousness. Wisdom, strength, and wealth are all good gifts from God — yet Jeremiah warns against boasting in them. True boasting, Wright argues, belongs only in this: understanding and knowing the Lord, expressed in lives marked by mercy, justice, and integrity. This sermon is especially relevant for: Christian leaders and pastors Students of theology and ministry Anyone wrestling with the relationship between faith, justice, and discipleship 📖 Key Texts: Jeremiah 9:23–24; Jeremiah 22; Deuteronomy 8; James 1; Micah 6:8 🎤 Speaker: Chris Wright 🏛️ Affiliation: Langham Partnership “To know God is to delight in what delights Him.” 00:00 – Introduction: What Does It Mean to Know God? 01:45 – Jeremiah’s Vision of Knowing God 04:30 – Wisdom, Strength, and Wealth: Good Gifts, Dangerous Boasts 07:15 – When Strength Becomes Oppression 09:00 – What God Delights In: Love, Justice, Righteousness 11:45 – Knowing God and the Mission of the Church 14:30 – Trusting God for Wisdom, Strength, and Provision 15:50 – Final Challenge and Prayer
