Kingsgate Church Podcast

Speaker: Keath Gaitskell Text: Exodus 33:12-23 Description: The thing that makes us distinct as Christians is that God is with us. Keath talks about what this means for us.

Speaker: Clark Buys Text: Romans 5:5 Description: The bible expects every Christian to experience the love of God poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. This experience is a gift available for all believers.

Speaker: Paul Harper. Text: Luke 24:49. Description: Jesus instructed his disciples to wait until they were clothed with the power of the Holy Spirit. We need the same infilling.

Speaker: Clark Buys. Text: Matt 6 & Luke 11. Description: The Lord's Prayer is a wonderful gift - an invitation into intimate, life-transforming prayer with God.

The Holy Spirit is not an optional extra. He is God and we need him to live the life Jesus made possible for us.

What does it mean to be children of God? What is God really like as a Father? What does it mean to be 'united with Christ'?

Guest Speaker Richard Pennystan looks at how understanding what it means to be a child of God is the key to unlocking the power of spiritual wisdom. Where does the bible say wisdom comes from? How do we tap into this Godly resource?

As Christians we are a new creation. We can't find or achieve our identity, we have been given it. The thing that we find significance and identity in is ultimately what we find our saviour in; any saviour we have other than Jesus will not fulfill us.

We are the people who bring His Kingdom into our unique worlds. Baptism is an instruction from Jesus which unites us in Christ. Paul explores what it means to be Baptised into Jesus' death.

Our imagination is a powerful thing. When fuelled by God we see with God's eyes and our dreams are more than just about us. But when fuelled by fear, doubt and self interest our imaginations can lead us away from the plans God has for us.

Keath talks about some of the exciting adventures coming up in the life of KingsGate - the launch of our Wimbledon Village Church Community in April, the story unfolding in the Cobham Community, the heart behind our multiplication story and more.

As Christians we're not excluded from suffering, but it is in those places of suffering that God powerfully moves to transform us into mature children; consequently, our suffering is never wasted.

Paul continues with this series, talking about how Fear can hold us back from our Big Vision.
