Giving Your Talents
This Sunday Tim Browne continues our A Generous Life series. In Romans 12 we're challenged to strive for sincere love, real devotion, choosing honour, and practising hospitality. Generosity only counts when it costs us—our commitment to showing up even when life gets tough. Tim encourages us to devote ourselves to each other as this is how real relationships are built.
Giving Your Time
This Sunday Tim Browne continues our A Generous Life series. In Romans 12 we're challenged to strive for sincere love, real devotion, choosing honour, and practising hospitality. Generosity only counts when it costs us—our commitment to showing up even when life gets tough. Tim encourages us to devote ourselves to each other as this is how real relationships are built.
Giving Your Treasure
Tim kicks off our new series—A Generous Life—as we dive into 2 Corinthians and look at money! We unpack how God doesn't force generosity, instead inviting it and supplying all we need so we can give with joy.
What is Your Master?
In this final talk of our God's Abundant Grace series, Pete Walker brings Romans 6:15-23 to street level and asks what's really driving us, shaping our choices, and setting the pace of our lives. Paul uses strong language, slavery and masters, yet we all give ourselves to something—power, money, image, comfort, and even good things like work and relationships. But Jesus offers a different kind of freedom, the kind that forms us from the inside out.
Experience Victory Over Sin
As we continue our God's Abundant Grace series, Tim speaks from Romans 6 and reminds us that we're not under law, we're under grace. Tim shares four practical steps from the passage—reason, reckon, resist, replace—and calls us to offer every part of our lives to God as instruments of righteousness.
Dead to Sin, Alive in Christ
We’re continuing our God’s Abundant Grace sermon series as we open up Romans 6:1-7. Dan unpacks sin as the thing that brings shame, brokenness, and death, then sets grace alongside it as God’s free gift to restore us. We look at baptism as a sign of dying to the old life and rising into a new one, not as people trying harder, but as people made free in Christ.
Grace
Helen Johnson continues our God’s Abundant Grace series, preaching from Romans 5:12-21 on how sin and death entered through Adam, and how life and freedom come through Jesus. We hear why the gospel is good news for real people, not perfect ones, and how God’s gift of grace won't run out.
What is a Christian?
What does a London comedy club and Christianity have in common? In this talk, Tim Jones carries on our God’s Abundant Grace sermon series and opens up Paul’s surprising logic about love and justice in Romans 5. We hear why Christianity doesn’t start with having it all together, why “justified” isn’t just church jargon, and what it could mean to have a real relationship with God.
Suffering
Athan kicks off our God’s Abundant Grace series, walking us through the start of Romans 5 and showing how grace, faith, suffering, perseverance, character, and hope fit together in real life. The unbelievable truth is that we can rejoice in suffering, because pressure produces perseverance, perseverance shapes character, and character grows hope.
How Can I Know God’s Will For My Life?
How can we know God’s will for our lives, especially at the start of a new year? Tim Jones opens Proverbs 16 and shows how our plans matter and that we can find freedom in our day-to-day as we surrender our motives to God. Even when life seems unclear, the promise of Romans 8:28 is that God is working all things for our good.
A New Life & A New Beginning
As we enter 2026, Michael opens Exodus 33:12-15 and Moses’ bold prayer, “If your presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.” Experience, skill, and planning can only get us so far in life, but God’s presence changes everything; it brings new life and a new beginning.
Carols by Candlelight
Tim speaks at our annual Carols by Candlelight service. Our theme this year has been the incredible reality that through Jesus God came to be Emmanuel: 'God With Us'.
Waiting
Nobody likes to wait, but when there's something worth it at the end it has to be done! In this final talk in our 'Made For More series', Emma opens up Luke 1 and the story of Mary and the angel Gabriel, helping us to see Advent as a season of faithful, hope-filled waiting. We unpack the discomfort of waiting, the joy of promise, and the truth that we are made for more than today; we're made for eternity with God.
Expectancy
Tim continues our 'Made For More' sermon series by looking at the faith of the centurion in Matthew 8. We see how this unlikely Roman officer comes to Jesus with bold expectation, simply asking Him to "say the word" so that his servant will be healed. Together we see what his response teaches us about faith, authority, humility, disappointment, and how our expectations of God shape our walk with Jesus.
Potential
Continuing our 'Made For More' series, Athan opens up Judges 6 and helps us see how God speaks to our true potential, not our present limitation. We walk through Gideon’s story and hear the call to rise from hiding, step out of our personal “winepress”, and live as men and women full of God-given purpose. Athan shares how endurance, prayer, and spiritual gifts shape us, and how the Holy Spirit works in us so we can do far more than we could on our own. Jesus has already won the victory, so we can move from fear to faith and from settling to stepping out.
Legacy
Continuing our Made For More series, Rob asks "What would be on your bench?" and how will we be remembered. Drawing on Philippians 2:25-30 and the life of Epaphroditus, we look at a legacy of service and sacrifice. What would it look like for us to truly know the price that Jesus paid for us on the cross and live in the legacy and freedom that he made possible?
Repentance
In week two of our sermon series 'Made For More', Dan Jeffery speaks on repentance from Luke 18. We explore the Pharisee and the tax collector in our passage and a model of turning to God in humble prayer. Drawing on the tax collector's prayer and Psalm 51, we see how regular repentance keeps our feet clean as we walk with Jesus.
Endurance
Tim kicks off our new sermon series ‘Made for More’, unpacking what it looks like to endure through God's strength. We look at the picture Paul paints of running a race as we live our lives, the encouragement being that God promises to carry us through all our hardships and into eternal glory.
Open Doors, Open Hearts - Giving
Tim shares the vision of our church as he opens Isaiah 26:1-8, calling us to build our lives on Jesus. We look at the promise of perfect peace, the smooth path God sets before his people, and a simple prayer that shapes a lifetime: your name and renown are the desire of our hearts. He shares how this vision shapes our growth as disciples and as a church, with open doors and open hearts for our city.
Open Doors, Open Hearts - Vision
We continue looking at the vision for Central as we open Luke 12 to hear Jesus’ clear words on money, worry, and greed. Tim Browne teaches how stewardship, trust, and planned, proportional giving shape our hearts and our habits. We consider why giving to the local church fuels mission, discipleship, and care in our city and beyond. Join us as we seek God’s kingdom first and set our treasure where it lasts.
