We are a diverse, multi-site church in South East London. We’re gathering in-person and online every Sunday.
We believe that church should be a place where we not only attend, but also belong, a place where no one stands alone. Connect with others, find friends and play your part.
Ask your questions and explore Christianity in a non-threatening, relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
We believe in the declarations of Isaiah 61, and so seek to extend God’s love in practical ways to the hurting and helpless in our local communities through our social action ministries.
Grow in faith and deepen your walk with God through our weekly sermon podcast and blog, and several worship albums with songs from members of King’s.
At King’s we teach the biblical principle of stewardship. We believe that everything we have belongs to God and we are only looking after, or are stewards of, what He has given us.

‘Let the words of Christ, in all their richness, live in your hearts and make you wise. Use His words to teach and counsel each other. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.’ Colossians 3:16 (NLT)
To understand how we grow by teaching each other, we need to first back up a few verses to Colossians 2:20-23. To paraphrase what Paul wrote, when we only follow the moral code of the world (hear no evil, see no evil, and speak no evil) we show only bodily discipline, but we don’t have victory over our thoughts and temptations.
Fast-forward to the verse for today (Colossians 3:16) and we see a recipe for overcoming our sinful nature. When we turn away from the world’s way to choose God’s way and spend time reading the Bible, we discover that the promise in the second part of this verse is true...that we will become wise. With this promise, however, comes a command: ‘Use His words to teach and counsel each other.’ Paul ends this verse with a command to worship God through singing to Him with thankful hearts
Question to Consider
What are some lessons God has taught you recently that you can share with others in your group?
Prayer Point
Pray that God will help you to turn away from the world’s way, choose God’s way and spend time reading the Bible.
These devotionals include edited extracts from the Better Together book by Rick Warren, with additional prayer points for King's Church London. We are extremely grateful to Purpose Driven UK for permission to use the extracts.
