Covent Garden Talks

Covent Garden Talks

Covent Garden Talks are run by Christians who work in the Covent Garden, Holborn, Bloomsbury, St Giles and Strand areas.

Our aim is to explain, from the Bible, the good news about Jesus Christ – who he is and what he has done – to people who work in this part of London. We are part of a large network of lunchtime talks called Gospel@Work and this video gives an idea of what we are on about.

    Acts 2:1-21 | The agent of change in a changed world - Wes Illingsworth

    With over 650 million members, Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity comprise the fastest-growing religious movement in the world. One in sixteen people worldwide is part of this movement. The events of the Day of Pentecost, recorded in Acts 2:1-21, continue to impact the world today. But what happened? What did it mean? And what, really, is Pentecostal Christianity?

    Matthew 23:13-28 | The beautiful kingdom - Ola Onabolu

    Is all religion basically decent? Does it all ultimately lead to God one way or another? In Matthew 23, Jesus warns that any religion without him shares a common feature: it leads straight to hell...and such religion is not a thing of the past, but it's widespread today.

    Matthew 22:34-40 | The beautiful kingdom - Abraham Sin

    Controversy kills Christianity. How can we confidently keep believing in and sharing Jesus when what he says often sows controversy and debate? In this passage, Jesus gives us confidence to stick with him - even if the world disagrees...

    Matthew 22:23-33 | The beautiful kingdom - Abraham Sin

    The world is full of religious figures who claim to have authority over our lives. Many of them deceive and manipulate. But Jesus claims he is a king with unique authority - not just over our lives, but over death and beyond as well. How can know Jesus can be trusted? Is he is king, or is he a con?

    Luke 7:11-17 | The end of death - Paul Williams

    There aren't many more heartbreaking scenes than that of a widow burying her only son. But come and witness how Jesus transformed her heartbreak and brought hope - the hope that we all need in the face of death.

    Luke 7:1-10 | Worthy of the kingdom - Paul Williams

    We make value judgements about people all the time — ethically, economically, personally and spiritually. In Luke chapter 7 we discover the radical difference the gospel brings as we see Jesus approach to people whatever we think they're worth.

    Matthew 21:33-46 | The beautiful kingdom - Wes Illingsworth

    Just days before Jesus Christ is crucified, the atmosphere in Jerusalem is boiling over as Jesus Christ clashes with the authorities of Israel. But why exactly did the religious leaders reject their wonder-working Messiah? And what does their rejection tell us today?

    Matthew 21:23-32 | The beautiful kingdom - Giulio Abortivi

    What right does a person have to say what they say or do what they do? Jesus' claims and actions were sufficiently extravagant for those around him regularly to question his authority. Their questions and his response reveal not only the truth about him – but also about them, and us!

    Matthew 21:1-11 | The beautiful kingdom - Giulio Abortivi

    Presidents, regimes and ideologies are all in the business of putting the world to rights once and for all. However, despite their impressive display of power they don't seem that effective. This week it is Jesus who presents himself in his capital City, but his glory and might look very different from those of other aspiring kings and conquerors.

    Matthew 20:17-34 | The beautiful kingdom - Giulio Abortivi

    Many think the teaching of Jesus can provide spiritual fulfilment, moral values or a sense of belonging. But what do we want from Jesus? Jesus shows us that what we seek from him is often very different from what he actually has to give us...

    Hebrews 11:32-12:2 | Making it to the end - Abraham Sin

    Being a Christian means giving up this life for the next. But is it worth it? And how do we know? Hebrews tells us we can forfeit this life with certainty and even joy if we look to Jesus. His life shows us why it's all worth it.

    Hebrews 10:19-32 | Making it to the end - Giulio Abortivi

    Olympians, just like insurance brokers and software engineers, need motivation to work hard and reach their Olympic dreams. According to Hebrews 10, Christians have even more reason to keep going when tempted to give up on their hope.

    Matthew 19:16-26 | The beautiful kingdom - Wes Illingsworth

    Our media and culture exalts those who are both respectable and successful. Jesus Christ says, "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God." Relatively-speaking, most of us are very wealthy. And there is no bigger issue than how we enter heaven. So, what does Jesus actually mean?!

    Matthew 19:13-15 | The beautiful kingdom - Wes Illingsworth

    What kind of people do you think God blesses? Any of the following? - the religious - nobody, I don't think there is a God - nobody, the world's a chaotic disaster - God helps those who help themselves - everyone, that's his job - .........................?
