Christ Alone | Don't Be Deceived
Paul has a warning for the church in Colossae - don't be deceived by clever arguments and lies. And his answer to not being deceived is Jesus - who holds all wisdom and understanding. How do we identify and counter the clever arguments that throw us off course? Dan continues our series on the book of Colossians.
Christ Alone | Mature in Christ
We get a glimpse into what motivated the Apostle Paul to get out of bed in the morning. He gave his life for the sake of the church, and to see Christians mature and grow in Christ. How might we live with the same ambition for Christian maturity?

We travel from being alienated from God to being reconciled by him into a new way of living. Barry reflects on amazing words from Colossians 1:21-23.

The Greatest Of All Time. No one tops Jesus. He is supreme. Yet God can be discovered in Jesus. Remarkably, God can be encountered in Jesus.
Christ Alone | Paul's Prayer

Serving Sunday
This morning we hear some some feedback and exciting stories from many of the ministries that The King's Church are involved in.
Running for Jesus
This one's about looking to Jesus in a way that’s like running an endurance race. Steve considers what endurance running might say about Jesus-following. It’s particularly for you if you don’t like running.
Seek God
It could be very easy to rush into another year, doing what we have always done. But time and again we read of God's people 'seeking God' for breakthrough, provision, guidance and protection. Jim encourages us to be a church that makes 'seeking God' a similar priority.
New Start
On the verge of a brand new year, Jim reminds us that as Christians we are new creations - the old has gone, the new has come. We love new beginnings, but the greatest new beginning is the one we know in Jesus.

Go Global | Start Local, Think Global
In this, the final message in our 'Go Global' series, Jim encourages us to start local but think global. We look in the book of Acts, at the church in Antioch, as a model for the kind of church we could be - with a commitment to their local area as well as a big global vision.

Dave Holden, who leads the New Ground family of churches that we are part of, joins us and asks us a question; what kind of church is The King's Church Mid-Sussex? Are we going to be a 'Go Global' church that has a heart to be on mission to the ends of the earth?
Go Global | Carrying the Cross
When Jesus was being led out to be executed, Simon from Cyrene was forced to carry the cross behind him. How can we help get the message of the cross to where it needs to be?

What does it mean to be part of an 'apostolic family of churches'? In this message, Jim looks at what the New Testament says about the role of an apostle and how this leadership gift helps local churches engage in global mission.
Go Global | God's Big Plan
In the book of Ephesians, Paul writes about God's 'eternal purpose' being fulfilled in Jesus. In this message, Jim takes us on a journey from the first book of the Bible to the last, helping us to see that God's Big Plan was always to bring all people, nations and tribes, to unity in his Son Jesus. The excitign thing is - he wants us to be part of this amazing plan.

The Presence of God | The Presence of God in the Workplace
God calls His people to be ambassadors for Him in our workplaces, to work as if we are serving Him. It is not always easy. But God cares about our work, about our workplaces, and about those we work with. His presence goes with us. All week.
The Presence of God | Not Left As Orphans
When Jesus departed, he promised that the Holy Spirit would be powerfully present in the church. Each of us can ask for ask for the gifts that make his presence felt. How do we do that? Terry continues our series on the presence of God.
The Presence of God | Worshipping When He's In the Room

Nehemiah | Building the People
The walls are built, the people enjoy saftey, security and freedom from crippling taxes. Building phase one is complete, building phase 2 is about to start and it's spectacular.

Nehemiah | A God Given Vision
The first message in our new series from Nehemiah. Nehemiah receives a report of life back in Jerusalem and his heart is moved to weep, pray and fast. His heart was moved for the glory of God and the people of God. How do we carry a vision for the same things today, in the world and in the church?
Turning Doubt To Worship
Looking at the resurrection through the eyes of Thomas, we see his character and eventually his faith and worship. The love of Jesus for us is shown in the scars he still carries. He will reach out to the doubter.
