Kingsgate Church Podcast

Carl Lunderstedt: A look at how Israel persevered despite much opposition and how they ultimately overcame with regards to rebuilding the wall, temple and the nation of Israel. What can we learn from them and how can we apply these learnings through our loving community, KingsGate, in Kingston and London today?

Bronwen Pilley: When we start moving forward in the dreams and plans that God has for us, opposition seems to increase. Using examples from Ezra and Nehemiah, we take a look at the importance of continuing to move forward while recognising and standing against the schemes of the enemy.

Keath Gaitskell: Nehemiah 2:17-18 - Let us rise up and build.

Paul Harper: Nehemiah 3.

Clark Buys: God is a speaking God. We see this throughout the bible and we see God speaking through various prophets before, during and after the biblical narrative of Ezra & Nehemiah. These prophets speak to the hearts and minds not only of Gods’ people of that day, but also into ours today.

Keath Gaitskell: The centrality of worship.

Clark Buys: As we begin a series looking at the narrative of Ezra and Nehemiah it’s important to have an understanding of the overarching story, where it fits into the whole Old Testament story, and he people who story is about.

Keath Gaitskell: An introduction to the series.

Clark Buys: 2 Chronicles 20 So often we try to fight God’s battle and find ourselves stressed and anxious. This story of Jehoshaphat shows how we need to re-evaluate who’s battle we’re fighting, and redefine victory for our lives.
