The purpose of trials and suffering
Jesus says that in this life we will have much tribulation. This is the case no matter who you are or how long you’ve been a Christian. So we shouldn’t be surprised when trials and suffering come our way; in fact, the Bible tells us that we should expect them because God will use them to mould us...

God’s deliverance from troubles
Psalm 107 shows us that God is our Redeemer — that He is ready and able to rescue, restore and set us free from all our troubles if we humbly cry out to Him. The Psalmist describes four types of people God can rescue: the spiritually lost, who don't know where they’re going or what they’re doing…

A God who delivers and rescues
When we face situations in life that seem impossible and we cannot see how things will turn out, we can trust in a God who is able to deliver and rescue us. We cannot afford to lose faith in that truth, but must hold on and believe that God is able. And if we feel far from God or in a place we...
-
Obeying God and respecting authority
When we face the tension between obeying God and respecting governing authorities, Jesus shows us that the two are not necessarily in conflict. But if what we are being asked to do goes against God's Word and could cause us to sin, we need to avoid it and be prepared to make a stand. When the...

The faithfulness of Daniel
As believers, we demonstrate our genuine faith by how we live, not just what we say. Although Daniel's name and circumstances changed, his heart and commitment to God did not. He remained faithful and stood firm despite pressure to conform, because his faith meant more to him than anything else.…

The consequences of disobedience
As Christians, we can often be very casual in our attitude towards disobedience. When God puts a conviction in us and reveals His will for our lives, we can be tempted to think we can simply ignore it or choose whether to obey or not. Yet the word of God tells us that the follower […]

The wilderness: Between two worlds
What keeps some of God's people wandering in the wilderness instead of entering the rest He has promised? Disobedience, fear, and never truly leaving the world behind are the things that hold us back. At their core, these all stem from unbelief - a failure to trust in God's faithfulness and to...
-
What you’ll be missing out on: Heaven
The concept of heaven is spiritual and hard to grasp, however the Bible gives us glimpses of what it will be like. We will experience eternal characteristics like the workmanship of God and everlasting joy in heaven, and our fleshly, sinful body along with our anxieties, fear and suffering will…

What you’ll be missing out on: Hell
There are two eternal destinies: eternal life with God or eternal punishment without Him. We can't believe in good, but not evil, or in a heaven and not a hell. Jesus spoke seriously about hell, warning us to examine anything in our lives that keeps us from fully following Him. Entering God’s...
-
Is Jesus your Lord?
What does it mean to call Jesus “Lord”? While we as believers confess that Jesus is Lord, is He is actually the Lord of our lives? This message examines the biblical meaning of lordship, and reminds us that every life is governed by one master—either sin, or the Lord Jesus Christ. We are urged…

When God is for us
King Nebuchadnezzar's pride led him to build a golden image to be worshipped. When Daniel's friends refused to bow down to the image, they instead stood firm in the midst of adversity, and clung to all the things God had promised them. They trusted that if God was for them, no one could be…
more -
The peace and rest of Daniel
Daniel shows us how we can be the people God wants us to be, without being impacted by what others think or expect of us. When our identity is rooted in God, we are truly free. If we genuinely believe that God will enable us to do whatever He has called us to, we will experience a peace that…

-
Mercy and surrender (Part 4)
We need to understand what surrender truly is, so that we’re not deceived. It’s not just what we say - our lips can be close to Jesus while our hearts are far from Him. Nor is it what we know - we can understand the Bible well and still not live surrendered lives. Surrender is shown in what we…
more -
Mercy and surrender (Part 3)
When we understand God's mercy, we begin to see why surrender is so important. Surrender is not about meeting a list of church expectations - attending church, using Christian phrases, listening to sermons or having Christian friends. We can do all these things and create a form of godliness…
more -
Mercy and surrender (Part 2)
When we truly taste and understand the mercy of God, we are transformed into people who live lives of surrender. We begin to show mercy over judgment, show grace, and become slow to judge or point the finger at others. We love even when it's difficult, and go the extra mile. In this way, we…

Beware of self-righteousness
It is within our nature to battle with self-righteousness - it makes us self-reliant, always assuming we're right, and leads us to look down on others. But in the House of God, this should never be the case. The secret to overcoming self-righteousness as a Christian is to respond to Jesus' call…

Come and see
People come to Jesus in different ways, but what matters is that we encounter Him in a personal way and discover who He truly is. Come, listen to Him, let Him feed and transform you. The issues, problems and darkness in this world can create a pessimism in us, but faith can lift us out of any…

The command to go

Mercy and surrender (Part 1)
Jesus' invitation to 'Follow Me' is an invitation into His mercy. We must decide whether to trust Him and step forward in faith, or remain in the comfort and security of our old lives. God desires mercy rather than mere religious duty. It is possible to practice outward faith while lacking true...
-
The heart that God sees
God is concerned with the condition of our hearts, not outward appearances. While we can try and hide behind a facade, the heart is most often revealed through our words, how we use our resources, and how we respond to the circumstances we face in life. To protect our hearts, we must…
more -
The good life
Everyone has a picture of the good life, but in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus radically redefines it. The good life belongs to people we wouldn't normally expect - the powerless, people formed by God's power, and those that live a life God's way at a cost. It's easy to live a safe, comfortable,...
-

Living for the glory of God (Part 4)
In His Word, God emphasises how important His glory is - and if it's important to Him, it should be just as important to us. His glory is not a secret. Every time we live in a way that shows love, selflessness and humility, it reveals God in our lives, and the world sees it and glorifies Him. If…

A peculiar people
When we become doers of the Word, we can't help but be transformed and by default, we will stand out and be a peculiar people. We will not look, talk, act or love like the world as the Word of God that is at work in us makes us different. Our obedience changes us, our faith separates us and when…

I Am (The call to abide)
Jesus is the true vine and everything we do and commit ourselves to in this world should flow out of a relationship with Him. We cannot afford to think that we can live a Christian life without first abiding in Christ. The more we do this, the more He increases in us and the more fruit we will...
-
The Pharisee and the tax collector
A humble person recognises the sin in their life and turns to Jesus for forgiveness. A proud and self-righteous person on the other hand is blind to their sins and can't see the need to repent. In the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collection, the Pharisee is a picture of pride that Jesus...
-
The Christian mission

I Am (Part 4)
Every time Jesus made an “I Am” statement, He was declaring who He is. No one can compare to Him, replace Him, or come before or after Him. So do we dare to trust Him? When we are hungry, will we go to the Bread of Life? When we are in darkness, will we turn to the Light of the World? When faced...
