Churchcentral Birmingham: Talks

When your back's against the wall, turn and pray.

The Bible doesn't teach us about spiritual gifts so we can define the USPs of our churches. It does it because we need God’s power. Today Jonny talks us through the 9 gifts listed in 1 Corinthians 12 and looks at how we...

Naomi (sweetness) has experienced so much pain that she asks to change her name to Mara (bitterness). What do we do with our moments of extended pain? What do we do when life is turning us bitter? Annabel beautifully...

This Sunday we focussed on the habit of reading scripture. We get to hear from three different church members. Ed Edmondson shares about his experience reading the Bible everyday. Cara Sherman shares about the practice...

Our monthly all-ages together morning looked at the whole theme of musical worship! Some of us naturally love it... some loathe it! So why do we do it and how can we experience the joy of it? Rich and Beccy lead us...

God moves powerfully through individuals for the sake of the church by giving the gifts of the Spirit. When they’re used well it’s like a beautiful symphony where God is the conductor. When they’re used poorly it can be...

In this talk we explore how to break bread together without missing the point and getting it horribly wrong!

*Some audio issues in first 7 minutes*. As Naomi crossed a border to Moab, now Ruth begins the journey across the border into Judah. What can we learn from her journey? What are the borders around us and how can we...

How do we know what to do? What if we miss God's plans? This talk unpacks what the Proverbs have to say to you if you are facing a big decision in life.

We returned to 1 Corinthians after a summer break. And what better way to start the term than a spot of treasure hunting! We had to dig, but we found gold together.

We start three months in the book of Ruth, exploring the God who shows up 'right where it hurts'. In the first five verses, we see a crazy level of pain experienced for a woman called Naomi. What can we learn from this...

The book of Proverbs has tons of practical wisdom on forming and sustaining healthy friendships. Elise looks at this key need of human beings, and how as believers we have all the resources to live it out well in the...

Wisdom in scripture isn't only a personal thing. It also impacts our engagement with everyone around us, especially those on the margins. We see God's heart for the vulnerable and the poor in this talk, and then we're...

Blake helps us understand what the Lord's wisdom has to say to our family life. Raising children - for lots of reasons - can be a sensitive theme, but the Lord has plenty to say to the whole church on this theme.
