Real community

Small groups, shared meals, genuine friendships. Not just usernames in a chat.

What Does John 16:33 Mean? Trouble, and Taking Heart

Sharon Edmundson opens Crowd Church's tougher teachings of Jesus series with John 16:33, "In this world you will have trouble, but take heart, I have overcome the world." Following Jesus was never a promise of an easy life, so hardship isn't proof you've failed or that God has abandoned you. Sharon explains what trouble really means, why the promise of it is oddly encouraging, and shares her own cancer story alongside a colleague's very different outcome. With honest Conversation Street reflections from Anna Kettle and Dave Connolly on suffering, doubt and deep roots, this is faith for the hard days.

When the Shame Won't Let You Stop Hiding

Most of us have a moment we're sure defines us. A thing we did that makes us feel like a bad person, not just someone who did a bad thing. Peter had one. He denied even knowing Jesus three times, warming his hands at a charcoal fire while he did it. This week Matt Edmundson walked through what happened next, when Jesus lit the same kind of fire on a beach and cooked Peter breakfast. It's a talk about shame, grace and finding a way back, for anyone who's decided the verdict on them is already in.

You're Not Too Far Gone to Be Restored

When something wears out, our instinct is to replace it. Psalm 126 offers a different picture, and this week Will Sopwith closed our summer "Restored" series on it. He unpacks joy as something you can't talk yourself into, only grow into, and then three everyday pictures of restoration, the old chair stripped back to the wood, the oil painting cleaned of years of grime, the relationship rebuilt slowly. In each one, someone looks past the damage to what the thing could be again. It's a picture, Will suggests, of how God sees people, and of why Christians say their hope is in Jesus the restorer.

The Love You Don't Have to Earn

Most of us assume there's some tidying up to do before God's good stuff applies to us. Psalm 103 was written by someone who'd stopped believing that. Matt Edmundson walks through David's list of what God has already done - forgiveness that goes deeper than a rule broken, healing with the honest caveat left in, rescue, and a crown of steadfast love nobody has to earn. Along the way, why sin might be better understood as a design distorted than a scorecard failed, what actually qualifies as steadfast when you ask it of your job and your relationships, and the four-sentence answer to why you don't need to be perfect to qualify.

When You're Not Sure If God Still Cares

Praying about the same thing for months and starting to wonder whether anyone is listening? Psalm 77 was written by someone in exactly that position. Sharon Edmundson walks through a psalm that never resolves its own question, where the writer runs out of words entirely and is left with groaning, asks whether God has forgotten to be merciful, and then makes a deliberate decision to remember what God has already done. Alongside it, what current mental health research says about the fight in our heads, why the stiff upper lip was never faith, and three specific things to do when you are in the middle of it.

When Mindfulness Isn't Enough

Ade Birkby takes on the question of why peace stays out of reach even when we do the sensible things. He looks honestly at what mindfulness, green space, close friendships and digital boundaries genuinely achieve, and where they run out. Then he turns to Psalm 16, a psalm David wrote while he was being hunted, and draws out three moves David makes. Choosing a stronghold to stand in, accepting the reality he has actually been given, and resting on a future that is already settled. Along the way, a useful distinction. Happiness needs a good day. Joy does not.

You're Allowed to Be Angry With God

Psalm 80 is a song written by people whose world had collapsed - and it was their own fault. Josh Edmundson unpacks why that matters. The psalmist doesn't ignore the mess, doesn't pretend he's fine, and doesn't rush to fix it. He names the grief and takes it straight to God, anger and all. It's a working model for lament, and it ends somewhere unexpected - every image in the psalm, the vine and the son and the prayer for God's face to shine, turns up again in Jesus.

Stop Waiting to Be Someone Important

Most of us have wondered what would happen if only Elon Musk put his money into something that mattered. He has enough to transform the NHS, surely? And it's a fair point. It is also a very comfortable place to be, because the responsibility is always theirs. This week Mike Harris takes us into John 13, where Jesus takes the lowest job in the house the night before the cross. The message is not about trying harder. It is that you already have what you need, you have already been put where you are, and the thing being asked of you is being asked by God Himself. With a priest, a pair of running shoes, and a stranger who said "have a good day".

When Helping Someone Costs You Something

Most of us are happy to help people. What we are less keen to do is help when it is going to cost us something. In this talk from the Jesus the Revolutionary series, Ade Birkby takes us on a journey through the Good Samaritan, walking the Jericho road that people called the Path of Blood, explaining why the priest and the Levite had a genuinely good reason to keep walking, and tracing the nine hundred years of hatred that made a Samaritan hero unthinkable. Ade, along with Dan Orange and Mike Harris, then explores why receiving help can be so much harder than giving it.
