Nobody likes to wait—especially when it feels like your prayers are hitting a ceiling. When you're in a season of waiting, it’s easy to feel like God is silent. In this message by Pr Nikki our Acts London Students Pastor, we learn that a delay is not always a denial, and that God has a plan that is far better than what we could imagine.
We can experience true freedom when we depend on God, but it is an active choice we need to make every day, even when it's uncomfortable. In this message by Rora, one of our Acts Church leaders, we're reminded that in order to depend on God, we need to humble ourselves and allow God to change our hearts and lead us by His Spirit.
We all like to be blessed in our careers, relationships, finances, and more. God loves to bless us too, but in order to be truly blessed by Him, we need to put Him at the centre of our lives.

Merry Christmas Church! Every year come Christmas time, it's natural to look at the story of the nativity and the characters who played their part around it.

May God bless you as He did Mary and cause you to be a blessing to all.
, if we behave, if we do good, then God will bless us! But that's not true of who God is. In this message by Toby, one of our ActsLondon leaders, we are reminded that it's not about how much we love God but how much He loves us! And the power of letting that love into our lives.

Life can often feel chaotic. It is not uncommon for us to feel like we are being pushed and pulled in various directions.

In our world today we are slowly moving away from cash, especially coins. In fact, nowadays 2p on a bill becomes a negligible amount. But money is still money and it's value doesn't diminish just because people don't care of it as much. In this message from Gareth, one of our Acts London leaders, we apply the same thought exercise towards the teachings of Jesus, especially on the 2Ps of Patiences and Perseverance. And discover maybe it all does add up.

We hope that this message will encourage you to surrender your own life to God as well.
When we listen to God's word, we should be challenged so that we can be changed to be more like Him. In this message by our global senior pastor Kenneth Chin, we are challenged to abide in His Word, and to be faithful in walking His ways.
Who is God to you? Is He like a vending machine you go to when you want something in return? Have we limited Him to a counterfeit image that only meets our expectations?

In this message from Soon Tau, one of our Acts London leaders, we're reminded that even in the storms in life we have a God that we can run to, we have a God that gives us rest, and we have a God who is sovereign over our life.

In this message by Toby, one of our ActsLondon leaders, we are reminded to seek first the Kingdom of God by putting God as our priority in life, by going to Him daily in prayer and by letting Him use us extraordinarily wherever we are positioned in.

In light of Father's Day, we remember and honour our fathers and all the things that they have done for us. As imperfect as our earthly fathers can be, we have a perfect Father in heaven who cares for us, whether we feel far away from Him or have been faithfully serving Him.

Is it really worth it to build our lives upon God?
Despite our many shortcomings, we can still give God our best in everything that we do. How you ask? In this message from Soon Tau, one of our ActsLondon leaders, we learn that the way to do that is to S.H.O.W God our best through our Sacrifice, Hearts, Obedience and Worship.

Nobody likes to have less, feel less or become lesser. So how does this square with a Christian's call to live a life of surrender.

We are often asked - where do we see ourselves in 5 years time. But what about faith? Dare we imagine where our faith would be in 5 years time?

Therefore it is so important for us to be rejoined and remain with our first love - God.
Any relationship deepens when you understand the heart of the other person. When we don't understand the heart behind a certain issue, it can lead to much misunderstanding and arguments.

In this message by Pastor Dave we are encouraged to reimagine our "Mondays" and to see them through the eyes and heart of God. Seeing our everyday as an opportunity to experience God's purpose, promise and power!

In this message by Toby, one of our Acts London leaders, we are reminded of the importance of staying spiritually "hydrated" in God through prayer, the Bible and His people.

Within the human heart is a tug of war between faith and unbelief. In this Easter message from ActsLondon, one of our church leaders, Soon Tau leads us to look at the famous words said to Jesus by a father in a hopeless situation: "I do believe, help me overcome my unbelief". And learn how to overcome our past experiences with disappointments and expect from God again.

The Bible tells us that Jesus came to set us free. But often times we end up abusing that freedom. In this message by Pastor Dave, we learn how to escape the destructive side of freedom but realising that we have been set free to belong, behave and be about the Father's business.
When God made us, He made us in His image. This means that despite the shortcomings deep within us, there is still a potential for good. In this message from Karyn, one of our ActsLondon leaders, we learn how to realise our God given potential and use it to bless others but most importantly to bless God!

If we are saved by grace through faith -what kind of faith do you have? Is it a faith that's dead or alive?In this message by Pastor Dave we are reminded that our faith is like a pair of scissors.

In this message from our founding and global senior pastor - Kenneth Chin, we are reminded to live a life of purpose and to understand that missions start not when we leave a country but when we step out of our comfort zones.
Why are we most tempted to lose faith in God when things go wrong in our lives? In this message by Toby, one of our ActsLondon leaders, we take a look at Job's life and take a deeper look into his powerful declaration: "The Lord gives and the Lord takes away; blessed be the name of the Lord".
The message of faith, hope & love found in the Gospels is a much needed balm in our world today. But how do we get others to be interested in it? In this message by Rora, one of our Acts London leaders, we are reminded of the power of excellence! Because excellence attracts but the opposite repels!
Missions - whether crossing cultures or crossing the street is one of the key tenets of being a follower of Jesus. But sadly many of us often come up with various excuses on why it's not for us.

Learning that missions is not about our style, that it's still possible even when we feel scared or not skilled enough.

Faith is not something abstract, it is something that can be lived out and experienced. In this message by Gareth Chong, one of our Acts London leaders, we are reminded how to admit, believe and commit our lives to God.
Obedience is hard. Just because we know that God is good, doesn't mean that submission is easy. It doesn't mean that we don't have to struggle. The good news is that God welcomes our wrestling. Jesus Himself wrestled before giving His life to the Cross and there is so much we can learn from that.
Do we love God for who He is or what He can do for us? In his preaching debut, Soon Tau - one of our Acts London leaders challenges us to relook at our prayer life, how to not rush through it, how to enjoy the connection and correction.

If Jesus did not rise from the grave then there would be no point to Christianity. But if He did - it fundamentally changes everything.In this Easter message by Pastor Dave we look at the hope the resurrection of Jesus gives us and how it changes us not jus spiritually but socially, emotionally and eternally.
When we picture Jesus, we usually think of someone who is kind and compassionate. But the Bible tells us that Jesus got angry too! In today's message we look at how Jesus entered Jerusalem, how He chased some people out of the temple and what the cursing of a fig tree really about. We serve a God who loves us enough to confront us when we get it wrong and we are all better for it.
We all want to be successful. And the good news is that God wants it for us too. The question is do we want success God's way? In this message by Bess, one of our Acts London leaders, we are challenged to align our ideas of success with God and to achieve it with Him.
In our world today, there are many definitions for the word 'Love'. But how does God define it?

In this message by Pastor Dave we unpack the sacrificial and faithful love of God and learn to use that as the benchmark for us to evangelise, read scripture and worship.

The Lordship of God in our lives is often something we agree on but find it hard to live it out in the practical. Some of us might not even know what that looks like. In this message by Pastor Kat, we are reminded of the beauty of God's character and encouraged to be active, not passive in our journey of submission.
When God issues us an invitation or instruction, it is not a matter of good advice. There is a result that will follow, whether we took it or rejected it. In this message by Gareth, one of our Acts London leaders, we unpack not only what could possibly happen when we choose our way over God but also why?
Have you lost the joy of your salvation? Have you become lukewarm in your excitement for God's Kingdom? In this message by Pastor Dave, we unpack what it means to be a citizen of Heaven while on earth. We hope this message inspires and encourages you to believe for more or to believe again.
Who is God to you? Do you believe He exists? No matter our background, this important question is not something we can allow others to answer on our behalf. We owe it to ourselves to sincerely search for an answer. In this message by Pastor Nikki we look at what Jesus had to say about this.
When we think of blessing and prosperity we immediately think of material wealth and gains. But the Bible actually teaches us that our true treasure is actually Jesus!

Or are we merely keeping up appearances?
Jesus wants to be more than just the provider and protector of your life. He wants us to walk with Him to go on a journey and grow in relationship with Him. More than receiving from God are we giving to Him? In this message by Toby, one of our Acts London leaders, we are reminded of the importance of going to God in humility and sincerity.We hope this blesses you.
We would love it if our walk with Jesus was constantly on cloud nine. Successful and smooth sailing all the time. But the truth is that most of the time it's the opposite. We don't always feel like we are winning, we don't always feel like we are growing and we might even struggle to feel God. In this message by Pastor Dave we learn somethings we can still do when we don't feel it. And how worship, prayer and faithfulness shines brightest when we don't feel it.
Our God is supernatural and in the era we are living in now it is so easy to lose sight of that. We must not forget that Jesus lived the supernatural, His disciples lived the supernatural, the early church lived the supernatural and so must we. In this message by our global senior pastor Kenneth Chin, we learn the importance of "don't", "diet" and "date" in our pursuit of living out our faith supernaturally.
What does it mean to grow in our relationship with Jesus? Does it mean just reading our Bibles? Knowing more theology or being busy in church?

As Christians we naturally proclaim Jesus to be the greatest treasure in our lives, but the question is do we treat Him like the that? Do we value Christ like the treasure we proclaim Him to be? In this message by Samuel, one of our ActsLondon leaders, we are reminded and challenged to love and honour God the way He deserves to be worshipped.
One of the most powerful gifts that God has ever given to His people is prayer. Yet it is often the thing Christians struggle to enjoy the most.

In this powerful and sobering message from Pastor Dave we are reminded of the gift of life that God has given us. Often times we think grace means the forgiveness or the blessing of God. But it is so much more than that. Grace is life, the Cross, the people and opportunities around us. This message encourages us to use it for God's glory.

There will be times when we enter a season of waiting, where nothing happens despite our hard work. Where our progress feels stunted despite giving it our 100%. How do we overcome this?

Evangelism is the act of telling others about Jesus, and it shouldn't be a chore or something we need to be nervous about. Even though we often are.
