Fully Known and Still Loved

What happens when the person who knows the very worst about you turns out to be the one on your side? In this talk from the Jesus the Revolutionary series, Pete Farrington walks through the story of a woman who crashed a respectable dinner party to weep at Jesus' feet. She made no excuses and offered no defence. She simply owned who she was and met something she never expected, which was grace. Pete, along with Matt Edmundson, Sharon Edmundson and Anna Kettle, explores why being fully known and still fully loved might be the most freeing idea any of us ever meet.

When Enough Is Never Enough
Pete Farrington opens a new series on money by arguing that Jesus treats wealth as a rival master competing for our loyalty — not a neutral tool. Drawing on Matthew 6, 1 Timothy 6, and Psalm 49, this session challenges us to examine whether money serves us or masters us, and to see ourselves as stewards rather than owners of everything we hold. Conversation Street adds personal stories of trusting God through financial uncertainty, and honest reflection on the everyday tension between enjoying what we have and not being owned by it.

Philippians #3 - Living Worthy of the Gospel
Former footballer Pete Farrington challenges what it means to live "worthy of the Gospel." Rather than another impossible standard to meet, discover how the mind-blowing reality of the incarnation transforms our daily choices. From Christ's humility to practical unity, Pete shows us that living worthy isn't about earning God's love—it's about letting His love change how we live, serve, and respond to opposition. Real faith for real life, no perfection required.

#18 Your Identity, Hidden in Christ
In this weeks Crowd Church livestream Pete Farrington explores the theme of identity from a Christian perspective in his talk "Finding You, Hidden in Christ." He contrasts the modern, secular understanding of identity, which emphasises individualism and self-definition through subjective feelings and social validation, with the Christian view that true identity is hidden with Christ in God.

Peace that Lasts
What if all our mindfulness apps, self-care rituals, and distraction techniques are actually taking us further from real peace? Pete explores why the world's version of peace—built on escape and avoidance—leaves us more anxious than ever. Through the story of Jesus sleeping in a storm while experienced fishermen panicked, he reveals that true peace isn't about managing circumstances but knowing the One who rules the raging sea. Discover the "three P's of peace" framework and why the peace Jesus offers doesn't depend on your performance or your problems—it comes from a Person, a Promise, and a Position.

How to Have a Faith That Pleases God
Why does trusting God feel so hard—even for people who've seen him come through before? Pete Farrington unpacks Paul's shipwreck in Acts 27, exploring why we forget God's promises the moment storms hit. Through Spurgeon's challenging words and his own family's visa crisis, Pete shows what faith actually looks like when it moves from intellectual belief to sitting on the chair. God doesn't roll his eyes at our doubts. He keeps reminding us of his word—and invites us to hang our souls on it.

The Man Who Stood Up For What He Believed

Lewis's "Weight of Glory," and the historical fates of Felix and Drusilla, Pete explores where true confidence comes from—not self-esteem tricks, but being hidden in Christ. His challenge: don't delay like Felix did. The face of God will be turned upon each of us. Christ has made a way for it to be delight rather than terror.

Christianity And The Pursuit Of Happiness
We carry on our study of the Book of Acts. Today we are looking at Acts 7:51-60, see what we can learn from the story of Stephen, who ends up being martyred for his faith and how that ties in with popular quotes stating that God doesn't just want to give you Jesus but an abundant life too.Somehow, Stephen found supreme joy in having Jesus, despite facing death. So has Christianity in the West been watered down? Is faith just about personal prosperity and comfort, or rather as a commitment that may involve sacrifice and even persecution?What about the contemporary interpretation of self-love, has it been distorted to prioritise individual comfort and personal gain rather than denying oneself to follow Christ? Brace yourself for a reality check that is as challenging as it is enlightening.

Why did Jesus Die? Alpha Course 03
This week, Pete looks at one of the most asked questions about the Christian faith - why do we always talk about the death of Christ? Why is it so important that He was hung on a cross? Why do Christians wear a cross around their neck? Isn't it all a bit morbid? Or is there more to it than that?
