Duncan Campbell defines revival as a community saturated with the presence of God and the restoration of New Testament Christianity in times of decline. In this talk, Joel encourages us to have the faith that revival is possible in London, and that every person has a part to play.

Andy talks from 1 Corinthians 1 – a passage that was first preached at Christ Church London 20 years ago – and looks at two things which we hope will shape us as a church as we head into a new chapter. Andy explores the themes of weakness and holiness in Corinthians, and what it means for us as a church in the season ahead.

New seasons are opportunities from God to use us in new ways but they can also be tricky to navigate. As Christ Church London enters into a new season, David considers lessons he has learnt which can be applied at both an individual level and for us as a church as whole.

When was the last time your body spoke to you? What did it say? Did you listen? Life is a tricky balance and our relationship with our body is often out of balance. Either we are obsessed with the body or we have a tendency to overlook it. How do we learn to listen to the voice of truth and therefore the voice of God speaking to us through our bodies? This is the question we will explore together. The seminar is a workshop where we will hear, reflect and exercise.

Is singleness really considered less valuable than marriage within the church community? Does the church place too much emphasis on marriage and family at the expense of supporting single individuals? Or are we at risk of swinging the pendulum too far in the opposite direction, leaving Christian couples and parents out in the cold? Join Natalie Powell as she explores the gifts of singleness and marriage in the Bible, the cultural influences that have impacted our understanding of them, and why it’s vital that we a–irm them both in our church today.

What does it take to step onto a plane to a country you’ve never set foot in and share your faith with people whose language you don’t speak? What happens, when fleeing war and persecution, you come to the UK as a refugee? Do you ever wonder if God is calling you to the mission field at home or abroad? Come and be inspired and empowered as we chat to charitable organisation Refugee Education UK, and former CCLer Hannah Joy about her time building church in Turkey and working with persecuted Christians through Open Doors.

Globally, 2024 is a massive year for politics. More voters than ever have, or will, head to the polls in at least 64 countries (representing 49% of the world’s population). Politics is one of the biggest cultural forces shaping our world and forming our lives, for better or worse. How can followers of Jesus think faithfully about politics, and engage distinctively amid division and distrust? Can we disagree well? If so, how? This seminar is for anyone curious about how our identity as disciples can shape our political involvement from a place of hope and humility. It will include time for discussion and reflections.
