Whenever we talk about ‘childlike faith’ we all head to Matthew 18. But the interesting thing about this passage is that it never mentions faith. It uses a different word. A much less popular word, but one that leads to life.

Amazing to see so many come together in prayer and support one of our own through the dark days of Covid-19 in ITU, and come out the other side! Thank you to everyone who prayed!

Rachel share’s her story of dealing with lament, grief and confusion when life unfolded in unexpected ways. Eight years down the line, she can see the goodness of God being revealed in a story she would never have chosen.

Mads tells the story of how she was healed from Coeliac Disease — an autoimmune condition to which there is no cure.

A story of provision and grace.

“My friend asking me to church was potentially the most significant question anyone’s ever asked me”

Martin was one of the first teenagers to become a Christian at Kings. With no church background, Martin simply came off the back of an invite from a friend. During worship a lady collapsed on the floor and her leg was healed right in front of him. When Lex (the pastor) asked if anyone wanted to find out more about Jesus, Martin put his hand right up — to his friend’s amazement.

Fast forward thirty years and you realise what a pivotal moment that simple invite from a friend was. Not just for Martin, but for his wife and children that followed. Amazing to see God at work!

Generosity isn’t easy. There’s lots of competing pressures in life, all sorts of good reasons not to give. But when you’re following Jesus, when you’re stepping out and taking risks, you’re making space to see God work in amazing ways.
