John 1:1-18 Topping the list of 2,000 people in the recently published study “Who Is Bigger?” Jesus Christ continues to inspire, intrigue and infuriate people across the world. The accounts of his life, however, are still relatively unknown and unread by a large number of people in the UK. So how do we help people find out more about Jesus’ life, teaching and his impact on our lives?
Richard Borgonon, along with William Taylor of St Helen’s Bishopsgate, have co-written The Word 1-2-1, a set of user-friendly notes which help people engage with who Jesus is as they read John’s gospel.
In this recording, Richard shares the reasons why he invites friends to read a gospel with him and how he does this in the workplace. It’s a great encouragement to make the most of this opportunity with our colleagues and friends.
Philippians 1:1-11 There are so many things competing for our time- career, friends, family, smartphones and hobbies to name but a few. It easy to say ‘Don’t let the good be the enemy of the best’ but it’s much harder to do. Where should Jesus fit in our already hectic lives? Is ‘making partner’ with Christ even a good thing, let alone the best thing? Listen in as Paul persuades the Philippian Christians there is no better thing to do with our lives.
Isaiah 59-63“A dangerous monster threatens a community. One man takes it on himself to kill the beast and restore happiness to the kingdom”. This basic plotline of so many stories and films expresses one of the deepest longings of the human heart in a messed-up world. It finds its fulfilment in the coming conqueror of the final section of Isaiah’s prophecy.
John 12:20-34 Everyone, even Rugby teams hope they’re on the road to glory in life, and yet often we feel we’ve missed the way. Listen in as we meet the only man to have always covered himself in glory.

James 3:13-4:10In sport we witness and experience the joy of victory and the sorrow of defeat. But in the end it’s only a game. The Christian life however is not a game. How can we make sure we are living victorious Christian lives rather than defeated ones? This passage tells us.
Philippians 2:12-30 Often we know the right course of action- we know to be selfless, we know to be kind, but we’re still tempted to sell out and not hold fast to that course. Listen in as Paul calls the Philippians to keep going in selfless service and the mind-blowing motivation he gives them.
Ephesians 6:10-23 For many Christians spiritual warfare is about the sensational world of deliverance ministries and naming demons and driving them out of believers. But that is not the spiritual warfare we find in the New Testament letters. Instead it’s about putting on the armour God has provided for everyday Christian living. That is how we stand firm against the forces of evil.
Philippians 1:27-2:11 We all know we should look out for those around us, but when the pressure’s on, it’s all too easy for the world to just revolve around me. This talk looks at the selfless one at the heart of the universe and how he deals with selfish hearts and brings the inspiration to change.
2 Timothy 4:1-18 You’re lying in bed in a hospice. You’ve just been told you’ve only weeks left to live. What will your perspective be as you look back on your life and look ahead to death? Will you be able to say with the apostle Paul that you have fought the good fight and finished the race and are longing to meet the Lord?
