What’s the point of the Old Testament? After eight months of reading, we step back to see the bigger story—and discover four questions it answers: Who is God? Who are we? What’s gone wrong with the world? And is there any hope? The Old Testament tells a story of creation, our brokenness, and the promise and redemption that ultimately points us toward one person: Jesus, the Messiah we’ve been anticipating.
Read MoreWhat if the kingdom you’re building isn’t really yours? Daniel 4–5 tells the stories of two powerful kings who learned the hard way that heaven rules. Their stories challenge us to recognise the influence God has entrusted to us, guard against the pride that makes us forget where it came from, and use our power to lift up and serve others.
Read MoreWhen our prayers seem unanswered, it’s easy to wonder if God is listening—or if anything is happening at all. Daniel 10 pulls back the curtain on an unseen reality and reminds us that God hears us even when we can’t see what He is doing. Discover why we can keep praying, keep trusting, and keep seeking God when heaven seems silent.
Read MoreWhen life gets hard, courage isn't something we suddenly discover in the moment—it’s something God has been forming in us all along. Daniel modelled how ordinary, daily habits of prayer prepare us to stand faithfully when we have to face our own "lions"—moments of pressure, temptation, fear, and uncertainty.
Read MoreWhat does it look like to follow Jesus when your faith puts you at odds with the culture around you? As we continue our series in Daniel, we look at how Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego lived as a "creative minority” — standing firm with wisdom, courage, and confidence that God is with us, even in the fire.
Read MoreWhat does it look like to follow Jesus in a culture that doesn't share your values? In the opening chapter of Daniel, we discover the ways that world attempts to assimilate us into its system and see the counter-formational practices that Daniel and his friends harnessed to stay faithful to God in the midst of exile.
Read MoreWhy would God include an ancient love song in the Bible? In this message from the Song of Songs, we discover that God doesn't ignore or shame love, romance, and sexuality—He celebrates them within His good design. The Song is a celebration of love, marriage, and very physical desires, but it also points to something beyond itself to Christ and His bride, the church.
Read MoreWe all want our lives to count for something. But too often we look for meaning and value in the wrong places—success, pleasure, wealth, relationships, and achievement. As we explore the book of Ecclesiastes, we learn that these things never satisfy. However, through Jesus, we have the hope of eternity and the assurance that a life lived in faithfulness to Him has lasting significance.
Read MoreWhether you're naturally a thinker or a feeler, God invites you into a deeper relationship that engages both your heart and your mind. The Psalms show us how real spiritual maturity isn't choosing between thinking and feeling—it's learning to engage God with both by bringing every emotion honestly before Him, while allowing his truth to lead us into healing, hope and freedom.
Read MoreIn a world overflowing with information but starving for wisdom, where can we find the guidance we need to navigate life well? In this sermon from Proverbs, we explore what biblical wisdom really is, why it begins with the fear of the Lord, and how Jesus invites us to walk the path that leads to life. Whether you're facing regret from past choices or seeking direction for a decision ahead, discover the wisdom God offers for everyday life.
Read MoreWhy do bad things happen to good people? As we begin our new series, Ancient Wisdom for Real Life, we explore the book of Job and one of life's hardest questions: what do we do when suffering makes no sense? Discover how Job challenges easy answers, points us toward a God who meets us in our pain, and teaches us to trust Him even when we don't understand what He is doing.
Read MoreWhat does God do when we betray Him again and again? In Hosea 3, we explore how Hosea’s pursuit of Gomer points us to Jesus — the One who ransomed us with His own blood and invites every prodigal heart to come home. It is a breath-taking picture of a God who pursues, redeems, and restores His people at great cost.
