William Taylor - By the end of Genesis 1–11, the outlook for humanity seems grim—but one vital promise changes everything. God’s promise of mercy offers the only real hope, and Genesis 12 shows us where to find that hope and what it will look like.
William Taylor - Why is it that the great projects and plans for global union and human advance appear so frequently to end in tears? God explains why - and gives us an enduring world-wide project in which to be involved.
William Taylor - The Bible’s portrayal of our broken world is compelling in its clear-eyed realism about humanity and life. It is equally captivating in what it reveals about God—nowhere more so than in the aftermath of the flood. God’s word makes sense of God’s world.
William Taylor - What is needed to fix the problems of this world? Multiple suggestions have been made - the author of Genesis has God's answer.
Colonel David Ellison - A talk on Ephesians 2, the lasting hope and peace that Jesus offers - a hope that even the greatest human sacrifice and service cannot achieve.
Paul Williams - Our world longs for peace and paradise, but instead we see violence and corruption. What hope is there for real rest? The story of Noah points us to a God who through judgement brings the rest our hearts so crave.
Paul Williams - Most of us avoid talking about death. It feels too heavy, too final, too depressing. But what if facing death honestly could lead to real hope? Hear how the Bible addresses the biggest of all life's realities.
Paul Williams - Dreaming of a better world? From ancient myths to modern songs, from Marx to Country Roads, we all hope for something more. But Genesis 4 shows why our attempts often fail…and where real hope can be found.
William Taylor - Why do our best dreams and highest hopes — for love, success, self-improvement, or 'the perfect life' — so often end in disappointment? Genesis 3 reveals the reason behind our frustration…and points us toward the remedy.
William Taylor - What's wrong with the world? God tells us in Genesis 3.
Paul Williams - Institutional sexism and inequality (not least of all in the workplace) continues to blight our world. So often, our world is ruined by men treating women appallingly and women understandably feeling the need to fight back. In Genesis chapter 2:18-25 we see how beautiful God's design is, and we see the relationship we were all made for.
William Taylor - Humanity's desire for a better or perfect place is almost impossible to suppress. From the religious to the a-religious our hankering for utopia or paradise cannot be quashed. God's original Eden Project explains where this longing comes from and the part that humankind plays in God's 'Paradise Island'.
William Taylor - Why the human race exists on planet Earth remains one of the great questions of life. It touches on matters of identity, meaning and destiny. In just 35 words the author of Genesis provides enduring answers.
William Taylor - Humanity: are we just an accident, merely the product of blind chance? What we dream for ourselves and expect in others suggests humanity is far more than that. And God tells us we are right to think that way.
William Taylor - Without an understanding of the foundational building blocks of this world’s existence, we will always remain at sea—unsure of our place, our context, or our destination. But God does not want this to be the case. In his kindness, he has provided us with ‘Key stage one’—the early chapters of Genesis.
Nim Anderson - What does it look like to be truly 'into' Jesus? Discover how staying connected to Christ through his word and prayer produces fruit - not through straining, but through abiding.
Ali Blundy - Corporate London enjoys talking about God in vague, spiritual terms, but sometimes things get uncomfortable when Jesus Christ is centre stage. John 14 addresses this tension, explaining why the spotlight will always point at Jesus. Ali Blundy speaks on Jesus' words: 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life.'
Titus Waldock - Death is the one certainty in life we rarely talk about head on. Jesus claims he can do what no one else can: offer life beyond the grave. Is that just wishful thinking or can he really do it?
Tim Shelley - We all know the impact leaders can have. We all have thoughts on what makes a good or bad leader. But what makes Jesus' leadership so special and why does it matter to every City worker?
null - In recent years, we’ve been encouraged to live our best life. Make the most of life. Live life to the full. And why not? We only have one life to live. Perhaps surprisingly, Jesus tells us that only through him can we live life to the full.
