New Wine

In our second 'Party Time?' talk Jamie explains our need for new wine and new wineskins. As well as understanding a little chemistry, we also need to know the cultural and religious backdrop to this parable so we don’t oversimplify what Jesus says. We also need to avoid the trap of holding the parable at arm’s length when it is primarily about us. And although Jesus appears to have come to subvert the norms, he is actually fulfilling all of scripture and demonstrating what his coming kingdom tastes, looks and feels like. This experience is far more dynamic, exciting and powerful than we could imagine.

Rebuild

In the final sermon in our Re:boot sermon series, for Pentecost Sunday, Jago speaks on the importance of desiring gospel growth, and the paradox that to actually see growth delivered, we need to desire other things more than growth. As we long for a rebuilding of God's church across South London, that will include a longing to see God rebuild us by the power of His Spirit.

Colossians 1:1-14

Reintegrate

What does it look like to reintegrate as the church after the pandemic? In the second of our Re:boot sermon series, Jago helps us see why God calls us to reintegrate as "members of one body", and what that looks like at HTC.

The Holy Remnant

As we continue to look at how we can build back better as the church, Jamie uses a scientific principle from the past year to describe our individual and collective need for holiness. As the Holy Remnant, the church can receive and pass on God’s blessing, but first we must give careful thought to our ways.

Haggai 2:10-19

Former Glory

How do you work in hope when your expectations have been shattered? And as we emerge from the exile of a pandemic into another exile of a culture that asks the church to take up less and less space, we must take to heart God’s second message to those rebuilding the temple in Haggai. In this talk Jamie explains the glory we can know in the present and the future that can fill our lives, the church and bring peace to the world.

Haggai 2:1-9

Genesis Ros Williams Genesis Ros Williams

Why us and not the world?

Ros spoke about Jesus' response to the question 'Why do you intend to show yourself to us and not the world?' Jesus says 'Anyone who loves me will obey me'. The message of Jesus is that he has come for everyone and we can choose whether we respond to him. We can choose to trust and obey the one who loves us and who has the victory over all sin and death. Ros spoke about the way the Holy Spirit, the Advocate helps us to trust and obey.

Where are you going?

Jago continues our Questioning Jesus sermon series and helps us think through how to respond to “troubles with death” and “troubles with life”. We see the huge comfort of why Jesus can legitimately tell us “do not let your hearts be troubled” (John 14:1) even in the midst of all sorts of troubled times.

John 13:31-14:4

Who is it?

Jago asked the challenging question – “Are you faking it as a Christian?”, and helped us to think through what to do when we recognise elements of hypocrisy within us, and how Jesus responds to our hypocrisy. He also spoke into the challenging situation of high profile Christian leaders who have turned out to be frauds and fakes.

Are you my Servant?

Josh started our new series ‘Questioning Jesus’ looking at John 13, answering the question posed by the disciples to Jesus ‘Are you my Servant?’. Josh encouraged us to be reliant on Jesus, rooted in who he says we are and choose to live a radical life of humility and love because Jesus first showed us how to love.
