Speaker: Katie McClurgRecorded on: 19/10/2025Identity Series: Dealing with fears & anxieties // What keeps me awake at night?Reflection and ApplicationName it – What fear or anxiety is on your mind right now?

Speaker: Matt BrinkleyRecorded on: 16/11/2025Identity Series: How do I deal with guilt & shame / not letting shame become our identity.Reflection and ApplicationZacchaeus is up a tree to see Jesus. But Jesus tells Zacchaeus to come down. In the end, Jesus goes up a tree (on the Cross of calvary) for Zacchaeus. What stops us from allowing Jesus to deal with our shame in our place?The Paralysed Man and the Bleeding Woman (both Matt 9) are healed. Jesus forgives the man and commends them both for their faith. As a result, onlookers are amazed. How is your testimony of Jesus lifting you from shame, pointing others to Jesus?

Speaker: Tony UddinRecorded on: 26/10/2025Identity Series: Is my identity based on my money or possessions?Reflection and Application1) In what ways are you tempted to buy into the idea that what you have determines your, or someone else's value in life?2)To what extent does the character description of disciples of Jesus in the beatitudes of Matthew 5 form the basis of your identity in Christ? Which elements challenge you the most? 3) What does the way we spend our money reveal to us about where are priorities are?

Speaker: Caroline MillarRecorded on: 09/11/2025Identity Series: What is the REAL ME? (touching on identity as saints & not finding our identity as sinners)Reflection and ApplicationHusk last Sunday heard from Caroline on 'What is the real me?':Peter calls believers a "chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession." What does each of these descriptions reveal about your identity in Christ? How does this contrast with how you might naturally see yourself?The word holy (hagios) means "set apart." In what ways has God set you apart from the world? How can this understanding reshape the way you live and make decisions daily?Peter says we are set apart "so that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." What does this verse teach about the purpose of our identity as saints? How does praise and witness flow from a holy identity?Peter's language is collective — "a people belonging to God." How does our shared identity as saints shape how we view the church community? What would a community that truly lived as "a holy nation" look like in Tower Hamlets?

Speaker: Caroline MillarRecorded on: 02/11/2025Identity Series: Am I my Background? (appreciating who we are & where we come from -- BUT not finding our identity in that)Reflection and ApplicationWhere does your background shape how you see faith and others?Are there parts of your culture you need to celebrate - or critique?How can you help our church become a place of welcome for all cultures?What would it look like for you to step outside your comfort zone for the gospel?

THCC Husk Speaker: Katie McClurgSermon Recorded on: 30/03/2025 Main Passage: Luke 6:27-36

THCC Husk Speaker: Bex White Sermon Recorded on: 23/03/2025 Main Passage: Luke 6:12-26 Reflection: Have you got any big decisions to make? What can you learn from how Jesus made this important decision? What tone of voice do you hear Jesus using as He lists these blessings and woes? If this sounds like bad news for you, do you think you might be mis-hearing Him? What difference does it make that Jesus Himself experienced all of the troubles that He describes here - poverty, hunger, grief and being hated? Are you confident in being on Team Jesus? What difference does that make?

THCC Husk Speaker: Darius Pantea Sermon Recorded on: 09/03/2025 Main Passage: Luke 5:17-26 Reflection: On Friendship: What kind of friends do we have? (Proverbs 18:24) What kind of friend are we? (Proverbs 17:17) What does friendship look like as a choice? (Proverbs 12:26) What does friendship with Jesus look like? (John 21:5 Jesus is calling the disciples "friends") On Failure: In what way did the Pharisees fail to realise that Jesus is God? On Faith: How have we seen faith in action in Luke 5:18-20? And Luke 5: 24-25?

THCC HuskSpeaker: Caroline MillarSermon Recorded on: 02/03/2025Main Passage: Luke 5:1-11; 27-32Reflection:When Jesus calls he interrupts the disciple's normal routine. Where are you seeing signs of Jesus calling you or others? Where have you experienced him interrupting your life?  When Jesus called the disciples, they "left everything and followed him". Caroline spoke about Jesus calling us today, as he does so what in your life needs to be left behind?

THCC HuskSpeaker: Bex WhiteSermon Recorded on: 23/02/2025Main Passage: Luke 4:31-44Reflection:We had to reach around a lot of thorns to get to the fruit this week. Were there any aspects of the sermon that were hard for you to hear? Might God be inviting you to bring those things to Him? If so, how will you do that?We heard time and again how Jesus has the last word. Where in your life do you need encouragement to pray for His will to be done and His kingdom to be done? Who in your life needs to hear His words of release?

THCC HuskSpeaker: Tony UddinSermon Recorded on: 16/02/2025Main Passage: Luke 4:14-30Reflection:Tony pointed out that Jesus was empowered by the Holy Spirit - this involved prayer, fasting and resisting temptation. What might it look like for you?Jesus read from Isaiah and said that He was the fulfilment of what He had read. Do we read the Bible by placing Jesus at the centre or do we have a tendency to place ourselves in that place?The Gospel is such good news! Jesus sets the prisoner free, He opens blind eyes and releases those who are oppressed. What has He done in your life? Why don't you find some ways this week to share this great news with others?

THCC HuskSpeaker: Matt BrinkleySermon Recorded on: 09/02/2025Main Passage: Luke 4:1-13

THCC HuskSpeaker: Bex WhiteSermon Recorded on: 02/02/2025Main Passage: Luke 3:21-38Reflection:Jesus is the beloved Son, and He is the servant that Isaiah spoke of. Reflect: what does knowing Him as Son and servant mean for you?Jesus made a way for us to be restored as children of God, and to be grafted in to His family tree. Is there anything in your life that might look different to you if you see yourself as a child of God?

THCC HuskSpeaker: Tony UddinSermon Recorded on: 12/01/2025Main Passage: Luke 2:41-52Reflection: One of the themes of this was that Mary and  Joseph were obedient to God and that Jesus also modelled obedience in part by being concerned to do his Father's business. What are the areas of your life that the Lord is challenging you about obedience in? The passage shows us both the humanity and divinity of Jesus. What does it mean for us to see Jesus in this way? v52 shows us that Jesus grew in wisdom and stature as a young man. What challenges you about this In both how you see Jesus but also in how you approach your own growth?

THCC Husk Speaker: Iain Millar Sermon Recorded on: 22/12/2024 Main Passage: Luke 2:1-21 Reflection: ‘[Mary] placed him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the guest room’ Luke 2:7; what difference does it make that Jesus was born in such humble circumstances? ‘The sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays’ Malachi 4:2; where do you most need the light and healing of Jesus to be seen? Pray about these things. ‘Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God’ Luke 2:13; an army of angels appeared at Jesus birth - how does this and these other passages - Matthew 13:24-30,36-43; Matthew 26:47-56; Revelation 19:11-16 - help us to understand the power and authority of Jesus?

THCC Husk Speaker: Tony Uddin Sermon Recorded on: 15/12/2024 Main Passage: Luke 1:39-56 Reflection: In both Mary and Elizabeth we see them hearing  from God, responding in faith and being filled with the Holy Spirit. What can we learn about faith and obedience from that? Mary's Song was a response of joy toward God. Real worship is initiated by the Holy Spirit and is a response toward God. What are you rejoicing about in your life this week? Mary's Song reminds us of the nature of God's kingdom as opposed to the kingdoms of this world. What do we learn about God and His way of doing things from these verses?

THCC Husk Cast: THCC Members! Recorded on: 08/12/2024 Main Passage: Isaiah 9:6-7 Reflection: (ask yourself or your child) What did the anchor represent in the story?

THCC Husk Speaker: John Day Sermon Recorded on: 01/12/2024 Main Passage: Luke 1:26-38 Reflection: What are your "awe & wonder" moments from Luke 1? Have you ever thought that you too are highly favoured as a result of Jesus coming? Read John 1:16 "Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given". Speak these three versions of Luke 1 v 37 over whatever you are currently facing: "No word from God will ever fail", "God's word will never lose it power", "With God nothing shall be impossible".
