St Helen's Sunday talks podcastThe original Christmas number oneTim Sheppard - While many attempt to write the next Christmas number one, they rarely produce anything that gets to the heart of what this season is all about. Mary’s famous words at the start of Luke’s gospel show us the meaning of Christmas—explaining why it is a cause for great joy, and a challenge for us to respond rightly to God’s remarkable offer.
2025-12-0718 minSt Helen's Sunday talks podcastHow are you building?Tim Sheppard - We all know that we need to build our lives on a solid foundation. Jesus’ famous parable at the end of Luke 6 encourages us that to build on his words will 'future-proof' our lives. But it also issues a challenge: when we hear his words, do we do them? When we call him ‘Lord’, do we mean it?
2025-11-3026 minSt Helen's Sunday talks podcastRadical generosityTim Sheppard - Why is it so hard to find forgiveness in a world that claims to prize it? In Luke 6, Jesus makes a bold call to radical generosity—and also shows that only those with a gospel root can hope to bear such fruit.
2025-11-2329 minSt Helen's Sunday talks podcastLove for the worldTim Sheppard - John 3:16 is probably the most famous verse in the Bible, but it's easy to miss the weight of this 'gospel in miniature'. Tracing through seven surprises in this verse, we're shown how wonderfully God has demonstrated his love for us, and all that he has given to us in Jesus.
2025-10-2626 minSt Helen's Sunday talks podcastLife from aboveTim Sheppard - Jesus famously calls everyone to believe in him—so it's striking when John's Gospel introduces a kind of belief that Jesus doesn’t trust. In his one-on-one conversation with Nicodemus, we see what it is that Jesus doesn't like, and we're invited to see whether we have the right kind of belief.
2025-10-1929 minSt Helen's Sunday talks podcastThe true templeTim Sheppard - Sometimes our ideas about Jesus are exposed when they are confronted with the realities of history. Jesus’ cleansing of the temple is a jarring episode that many don’t want to think too much about, but John’s portrait of Jesus leaves us with someone far greater than the Jesus of our own invention. He is destroying dead religion, and building in its place an indestructible relationship with God.

Jack Sheppard, the legendary escape artist, and Jonathan Wild, London’s self-proclaimed ‘Thief-Taker General,’ started as allies, but their partnership took a deadly turn. One was a master thief who became a folk hero; the other, a crime boss masquerading as law enforcement. Their rivalry led to betrayal, capture, and ultimately, the gallows for both. But how did these two infamous figures go from partners in crime...
