Before the world was changed, Jesus withdrew. We often focus on the "doing" of Christian life and even Jesus' own ministry. In the next part of our Luke series, Frank helps us see how before Jesus chose the twelve and did remarkable miracles, He spent the entire night in prayer. If the Son of God didn't make a move without seeking the Father first, why do we often treat prayer as a last resort?'

‘How do we rest in a world that is constantly busy? On Sunday, Siji restarted our journey through Luke by helping us think about Jesus’ teaching on sabbath and where we can find true rest’.

Nemi concludes our 'Teach us to Pray' series in Eltham by teaching us about the blessing of fasting. Nemi unpacks how fasting helps bring us closer to God, hear His voice, but also connects us with the last, the least and the lost. He encourages us to make fasting a discipline in our lives to help our walk with God.

'As we continue to say 'Teach us to Pray', James spoke to our Sidcup 3:30 congregation about how we can pray through Scripture. The word of God helps shape both what we pray and how we pray and means we'll never run out of things to pray.'

'Isaiah prophesied ‘my house shall be a house of prayer for all peoples’ (55:6-7). Throughout Scripture, prayer is a priority, and God’s people praying together is vital. This week, Reuben spoke to us about how we can grow in our corporate prayer.'

'As we enter our One Church Month of Prayer, we want to continue in our prayer of 'Lord, Teach us to Pray'. This Sunday, Joe spoke to our Sidcup 11:00 congregation about habits of a prayerful people as we look to continue to build our culture of prayer.'

‘James finished our series on the Lord’s Prayer with a cry of ‘Amen; Let it be so!’ He invites us to participate in being a people of prayer as we celebrate what God has done over the last 50 years and pray into what He will do next.’

‘Jesus instructs the disciples to pray, ‘Deliver us from evil’. In this sermon, Dayo teaches into Jesus’ defeat of Satan, and how we can use the tools that God has given us to withstand evil. We can pray with confidence knowing we can put on the whole armour of God.

'Jesus teaches us to pray 'Lead us not into temptation'. This poses the question of does God lead us into temptation or does He help us in moments of temptation? Cynthia unpacks in our Sidcup 9am meeting what it means to join in this prayer and how we can resist temptation when it comes.

'Forgive us our sins... as we forgive those who sin against us'. Jesus teaches that there is a clear link between the forgiveness we receive and the forgiveness we give to others. James unpacks the priority of forgiveness in our Eltham meeting as we continue to our 'Teach us to Pray' series.

Our debt has been paid and our sins forgiven because of the death of Jesus. Today we look at the power of praying “Forgive us our sins”. We look at how we wandered and trespassed and how God brings us home.

'After starting the Lord's Prayer with a declaration of who God is and submitting to His will, Jesus turns to our first request: 'Give us this day our daily bread'. Dave carries on our 'Teach us to Pray' series by helping us think through how we can depend on God daily in prayer'.

Jesus followed 'Our Father, who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name', with an ask: 'Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is heaven'. Yemi continued our 'Teach us to Pray' series looking at what learning to pray this radical prayer means. It is a prayer for God's eternal kingdom to come, for the reconciliation of all things, and for God's eternal plan to come good in the world around us.

The disciples once came to Jesus and asked, ‘Lord, Teach us to Pray’. What followed was Jesus giving us the Lord’s Prayer. James starts a new series on the Lord’s Prayer as we begin 2026 as we join the disciples in asking ‘Lord, Teach us to Pray’.

Our God is the God of the Seasons. While our lives change through different seasons, he remains the constant, covenant making God. Which season are you in? Which season is our congregations in?
