Sunday Sermons - Reality Church London

Today Tim Chaddick, Pastor at Reality Church Ventura, one of our sister churches, speaks to us about the fundamental need for us to wait and rely on God. Especially in our current cultural climate, the culture of "now", our waiting on the Spirit of God to move may be particularly challenging, but it is essential fuel for our walk with God and ministry to our neighbour.

In this episode, guest speaker Neil Powell reminds us that the power and the gospel of God is still visibly working through the church today. Indeed, looking back on the miracle of our salvation should propel us onto sharing the good news of God's salvation, in Christ. Knowing that "today is the day of salvation, now is the time of God's favour".

After Isaiah has encounters God’s glory and grace. He responds in the only logical way: complete surrender. The giving his whole life over to God’s mission. What’s more, the main way God will use Isaiah is in the ways Isaiah was most aware of his weakness and sinfulness (vv6-7, his mouth, speaking). God’s mission through us is always a reflection of his grace at work in us.

In Isaiah's vision, the place where he encounters God is in the Temple. The temple is the meeting place of heaven and earth. Once represented by a physical building and location in Jerusalem. It is now represented by Christ Himself, and the physical gathering of His church. Today we explore the purpose of our gathering regularly as a church.

One of the primary themes of Isaiah's encounter with God is that Isaiah is meeting with the God who is holy, holy, holy. But why this repetition? In today's episode we focus in on what holiness truly means, what an encounter with a Holy God feels like, and how indeed it is possible.

As we begin our vision series looking at Isaiah's encounter with God, an encounter which propels Isaiah into his prophetic ministry. We first see that God met with Isaiah in the year of King Uzziah's death. In this weeks message, we examine our need for an encounter and how God often uses a severe mercy to remind us of our need of Him.

Rather than relating to God as a taskmaster whose rules must be followed. The gospel creates a new dynamic in which a person can relate to God with the deepest closeness and intimacy.

Today we start our new series looking at the book of Galatians. In this episode we explore, our great need for the gospel, how we never graduate from it, and the great comfort the gospel alone brings. Seeing how it makes us fully alive and truly free.

In a moment of deep anxiety for his disciples, Jesus encourages his friends by reminding them that the work of his crucifixion brings with it a promise, and hope springing out of this promise. A promise that we have an eternal home, where we will dwell with each other, and our God forever.

Jesus, on the night of his betrayal, spends a significant amount of time teaching his disciples about God's great love for us. One of the consequences of knowing God's great love is that we are commanded to deeply love one another too, and by being a community marked by love, we become a communal testimony to the very love of God. Join us as we explore the power, beauty, and importance of this great command,.
