Crowd Church Talks
Series: Origin | What does the Bible say about? | Mark’s Gospel | Alpha Course Online
Who is Jesus? The Truth That Transforms Lives
In this talk from Crowd Church, we explore the profound question at the heart of Christianity: Who is Jesus? Drawing from the final chapters of the Book of Acts, we delve into the transformative journey of the Apostle Paul and the pivotal role Jesus plays in our lives. This service is not just a narrative recount; it's an invitation to explore, understand, and respond to the most significant question you'll ever contemplate.

A Bigger Jesus
Welcome to our newest series - Origin! Pastor John Harding takes us through John 1:1-13 in this first episode, with the series all about Jesus.
Jesus. Just the name brings to mind so many images and ideas. But who was Jesus really? And what happened at the start of the greatest movement in our history?
These are some of the questions that we'll be exploring in this series called Origin. Origin will look at the birth of the church and ask why this Man, Jesus, from 2000 years ago still has a major impact on the world today.

Faith and Fatherhood - Does It Make A Difference?
Can we talk about Father's Day? For some, it is a day of celebration. For some, it is a time of sadness or regret or loss. So what role does faith play in Fatherhood? Does it make a difference? Do these two things mix? Does faith make a difference to being a Dad? What about when things go wrong, or when our Dads are far from perfect? On this week's Livestream, we hear the stories from everyday Dads and chat about Fathering and God's role as the ultimate Father.

Living a life without Villains
Do you see others in life as the Villain in the story, the villain in your story? Do we see ourselves as victims? In this blog, John Harding dives deep on the topic and the character of Judas, the villain in the story of Jesus and asks what lessons we can learn for our own lives.
Bible Study (Lessons from Jesus and Mary )
How do we get the most out of reading Scripture? Can the Bible be trusted? What can the Bible teach us? These are all great questions. Christians talk a lot about the Bible, so how do we go about reading it? This week we are going to look at a Story with Jesus and Mary and look at how we can get the most out of reading the Bible.
Is it time to take a step back and see the bigger picture?
Ever been so tunnel-visioned on something, so focused in on the detail that you didn't see the bigger picture? In this week's Livestream, Jesus meets a group of people who had done just that...and as a result, they missed the most important lesson of all.
Overcoming Adversity Part 3 - The secret to getting prayer answered? | Mark 11:20-26
Overcoming adversity - part 3. When it comes to overcoming adversity, we often find ourselves praying and asking God for help. But does that make sense? Does God even care about my prayers? Does He even listen? And if He hears me - will he actually do anything? This week we take a look at what Jesus says about prayer, and how we can know what God's plan for our lives is.
Transformational Leadership: 4 ideas to help you be a better leader | Mark 11:12-14
We are all leaders, irrespective of our job title - which is handy, as this week we are talking about Transformational Leadership and how Jesus brings out 4 unusual lessons that will really help us take our place and lead. For instance, we see what Jesus and the Friends TV set have in common, as well as why, in this instance, talking to the plants didn't actually help them grow faster (it had the opposite effect!). As I said, unusual lessons...so come and join in the Livestream and join in the conversation.
How did a humble carpenter become the greatest King of all time? | Mark 11:1-11
Church Livestream: Who were the greatest rulers in history? Google throws out some interesting answers, but what about you? What does a great King look like? What does their Kingdom look like? If you were to write a novel chronicling the journey of that King, what would be included in the story arc? This week, we look at how Jesus entering Jerusalem turns all of those ideas upside down, signalling to the world around that he is a new kind of King, starting a new kind of Kingdom.
Negative people and a blind man’s unique way of dealing with them | Mark 10:46-52
Have you ever had to deal with seriously negative people, energy vampires that suck the life out of your rather than helping you move forward? Well, in this week’s Online Church Livestream, we are going to look at the story of a blind man and understand his unique approach to dealing such people (spoiler alert…this guy is actually a hero of mine).
Who encourages you to do stuff that scares you? | Mark 10:32-34
The journey with Christ doesn’t always feel safe. There are times when we have to confront the reality of what is in front of us, and we need people to help us find the courage to face our fears. In this weeks message, we look at a pivotal point for Jesus and the disciples. They are about to enter some dark times. They don’t feel safe, and they are confronted with the overwhelming reality of what is about to happen. Do they face their fears? Or do they walk away?
Why We cannot buy our way into Heaven | Mark 10:17-31
A rich man approached Jesus asking Him about heaven and in this week's session, Abi is going to look at the relationship between wealth and the Kingdom of God, and answer the question of why you cannot buy your way into heaven as well as how our money and other idols (gods) can hold us back from all that God has for us.
