In this episode of the King’s Church London Young Adults Podcast, we continue exploring Jesus’ teaching in the Sermon on the Mount as part of our Flourishing sermon series.
Host Chantelle is joined by Gabriella and Sam to talk about what Jesus says about anger, resentment, lust, and the condition of the heart. Together they unpack how Jesus challenges us to go beyond outward behaviour and examine what’s happening internally - the anger we carry, the conflict we avoid, and the desires shaping our lives.
The conversation explores questions like: • Why is it sometimes easier to hold onto anger than address it? • Can you be spiritually active but emotionally unhealthy? • What does forgiveness actually look like in real relationships? • Does forgiveness always mean reconciliation? • How do we pursue integrity and accountability in dating and singleness?
This episode is an honest discussion about bringing hidden things into the light, pursuing reconciliation, and learning to guard our hearts as followers of Jesus.
💬 Reflection question: Is there something you’re carrying internally (anger, resentment, or desire) that might be shaping your spiritual life? What would it look like to bring that into the light instead of carrying it alone?

Andrew also considers the danger of looking to our work for our identity, reminding us that our worth is secured not by what we achieve, but by the finished work of Jesus.
On Vision Sunday, Joe Macnamara reflects on God’s faithfulness to King’s and looks ahead with faith to all that He is calling us into.

In this stand-alone sermon, Dimeji Teibo explores the story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8, and the life-changing decision that followed their encounter. He explains how Jesus has paid the price for sin, removing the barrier between us and God, while inviting each of us to respond personally to the salvation he offers. Reflecting on the meaning of baptism, Dimeji shows how it is an outward declaration of an inward decision to trust and follow Jesus.
