Fearless

Paul Williams - It's easy to feel unable to speak openly about Jesus and the Bible, particularly in the office. In Acts 4:23–37 we will discover what transformed Jesus' timid disciples to speak fearlessly about Jesus, even in the face of significant threats.

Paul Williams - Many Christians in the City know all too well what happens when they speak boldly in the workplace about the uniqueness of Jesus. In Acts 4v1-22 we look at Peter and John, standing before the highest court in the land, and uncompromisingly declaring Jesus to be the only way. And see why all Christians everywhere need to do the same. ‘There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.’ Acts 4v12

Paul Williams - Our world is broken, and looking at all the fundraising and research people do, we clearly know it is. But even our best efforts can't fix this broken world; only Jesus can. And he will make it better than it ever was. Hear how, in Jesus, the best is yet to come: not just a better world, but a world beyond our wildest dreams.

William Taylor - The news is dominated by death – and, tragically, for many of us, it is much closer to home. In Acts 3:1–16, we see that Jesus establishes a new world where death, suffering and pain will be abolished forever.

William Taylor - What are the marks of an authentic Christian believer? The latest census has over 46% of the UK identifying as Christian. Here in the City we have witnessed significant numbers of men and women expressing renewed interest in the Christian faith. This makes Acts 2:37–47 acutely relevant.

Paul Williams - Is there enough evidence to know that Jesus really is Lord and Christ? Yes. In Acts 2:22-36, the apostle Peter lays out that evidence: Jesus’ life, death, resurrection and ascension. Hear the case for Christ, and discover why the verdict matters more than any other decision you will ever make.

William Taylor - With over 650 million members, Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity comprises the fastest-growing religious movement in the world. One in sixteen people worldwide is part of this movement. The events of the Day of Pentecost, recorded in Acts 2:1-21, continue to impact the world today. But what happened? What did it mean? And what, exactly, is Pentecostal Christianity?

William Taylor - Foundations matter – as those who work on the 40th floor of the Gherkin will tell you! And the bigger the project, the more important the ground on which it is built. The New Testament repeatedly emphasises the trustworthiness of those on whom Jesus' kingdom is built. We will see in Acts 1:12–26 that their credentials are impeccable.

William Taylor - There are multiple contenders for ‘the moment the world changed’. The invention of penicillin? The World Wide Web? 9/11? AI? But the opening verses of Acts point us to events of a completely different order that have radically transformed human existence forever. Hear how you can benefit from God’s agenda in this changed world.

Simon Rafferty - The Christian life is hard. For many of us, the finish line is likely to be decades away. So what will keep us going? What – or rather, who – should we ultimately look to?
