Sermons

What 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.

When 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.

When 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.

What 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.

What 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.

Why 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.

We 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.

Whether 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.

In 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.

Why 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.

What 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.

God gave the prophet Hosea a heartbreaking assignment: to love someone who will betray him as a living picture of Israel’s spiritual adultery and God’s wounded heart. This week, we’ll explore how idolatry still captures our hearts today—and how, despite our betrayal and failure, God’s covenant love continues to pursue, forgive, and restore His people through Jesus Christ.

In this message, we explore the courage of the Old Testament prophets — men and women who risked everything to speak truth to kings, confront injustice, and call God’s people back to faithfulness. As we follow their example, we’ll discover what it means for the church today to be a prophetic community that prays boldly, acts justly, and speaks up for the vulnerable.

In this opening message of “The Prophets,” we explore the strange, beautiful, and often misunderstood role of prophecy throughout Scripture — from the covenant watchdogs of the Old Testament to the Spirit-empowered Church today — prophesy is a gift that God uses to encourage His people and draw us back into alignment with Him.

None of us set out to mess up, but few people actually finish as well as they started in their faith. What causes us to drift away from God in this way? Through the life of Solomon, we see how areas of compromise in our spiritual walk can grow until we look just like the world around us.

When God gives us a promise, He also invites us into a process that makes us ready for it. But we can all be tempted to try to shortcut this process at times. The lives of King Saul and King David give us two contrasting realities of what happens when we try to take a shortcut versus being willing to embrace the process.

As we begin our journey through the rise and fall of the Kingdom of Israel, we start in 1 Samuel 8, a passage that confronts us with a searching question: where do we place our trust? Where we place our trust reveals who our true king is—and what we rely on when everything else is shaken.
