St Helen's Sunday talks podcastMercy triumphs over judgementDrew Balch - Favouritism feels small. James says it isn’t. In James 2, we discover that showing partiality, even in subtle, respectable ways, makes us law-breakers and reveals how easily we adopt the world’s values. We need the snobbery in our hearts to be exposed, to challenge both pride and reverse snobbery, which leads us to the only hope we share: the mercy of God that triumphs over judgment in Jesus Christ.
2026-02-0128 minSt Helen's Sunday talks podcastThe life-giving wordDrew Balch - James warns us about the most dangerous lie of all: self-deception. James challenges us not just to hear God’s word, but to do it. Hearing without obedience doesn’t save. Disturbingly, it only deceives. True religion is truth that actually changes us.
2026-01-2528 minSt Helen's Sunday talks podcastGod tempts no oneDrew Balch - In a world full of voices, James warns us that the most dangerous deception doesn’t usually come from outside; but from within. We must ask: Is God always good? Through trials, temptation, and suffering, we are prone to doubt God’s goodness and even blame him for our sin. Yet James shows us a God who is utterly single-minded; unchanging, generous, and always good. As we fix our eyes on the Father of lights, we’re called to remain steadfast, reject the oldest of lies, and trust the God who gives every good and perfect gift.
2026-01-1825 minSt Helen's Sunday talks podcastThe double-minded manDrew Balch - The double minded Christian attempts to serve God while still being shaped by the world. James exposes how both wisdom and wealth can subtly pull our hearts away from single-minded devotion to the Lord. James calls us away from worldliness and back to humble dependence on a generous God, who delights to give wisdom to those who ask.
2026-01-1128 minSt Helen's Sunday talks podcastAll joy in trialsDrew Balch - Joy in trials? Really? James opens his letter with a shocking command to 'Count it all joy when you face trials of many kinds'. Is that wisdom or madness? James 1:1–4 explores this paradox at the heart of the Christian life: why suffering is not pointless, how God uses trials to grow steadfast faith, and where that painful road is ultimately leading.
2026-01-0428 minSt Helen's Sunday talks podcastThe Saviour of the worldDrew Balch - Though the disciples are focused on eating lunch and moving on from Samaria, Jesus remains there for two days—discovering a depth of faith in a place they least expect. Remarkably, this moment marks the beginning of God’s unfolding work in the gospel of John, a work into which we ourselves are joyfully invited.

2025-10-0526 minSt Helen's Sunday talks podcastCome and hearDrew Balch - John wants us to have life in the name of Jesus. To persuade us, he pulls us as it were into the courtroom. We watch the witnessing of John testifying to Jesus being the Lamb of God and the Son of God. It’s an explosive start to John’s biography of Jesus.

Many of us have correct answers as to how we know God, but often we aren’t moved by the reality and privilege of it. Jesus has made God known so that we can know him and enjoy life in his name.
2025-09-1429 minSt Helen's Sunday talks podcastThe light comesDrew Balch - John’s first glimpse into the Christmas miracle of incarnation lacks almost all the details of the other gospel writers. But his focus is on Jesus being the true light, not just a light, or like a light but the true light.
