Episodes
-
Let God’s people tell their story / Psalm 107
In this Psalm we meet people from various backgrounds coming to find salvation in God, as they cry out to Him in their distress and despair. And as God saves them, the natural response is to tell their story, to proclaim God’s goodness.
-
Worthy of all praise / Psalm 100
The highest form of all goodness and beauty is found in God. We find our truest selves when our hearts are ultimately captivated by Him, praise of God helps us become the truest sense of who we are and why we exist.
-
The God of all Comfort | 2 Corintians 1
In our suffering, despite us feeling like God has abandoned us, or is punishing us, Paul wants us to know God is profoundly and presently comforting us and even through us enabling others to be comforted.
-
Remember the Gift and the Giver / Joshua 3
After over 400 years, the Israelites are finally about to step foot into the promised land, but the raging Jordan River is opposing them. God makes a way for his people, and remains faithful to His promises to them. Yet, on this momentous day they first step foot into this promised land, God...
-
God is still saving His people / Romans 11
For the Israelite wondering if God is now done with His covenant people, Paul’s answer is, by no means! God is still rescuing His people from both Gentiles and Jews.
-
How do we receive Salvation? / Romans 10
Paul in Romans 10 begs the question How do we recieve salvation? And his answer is incredibly simple. We call on Jesus, but people can't call on him if they don't believe, and they can't believe if they haven't heard. Salvation is possible by faith. Maybe God has put someone in your life right…

Chosen by God / Romans 9
Paul addressed the question: since not all Israel, or all people, are saved, is God unjust? Has His love failed us somehow? His answer is a firm “No”. God is not unjust; He is merciful!
-
God is for us / Romans 8
Paul reminds us that God is for us. We can be confident of this because He gave His Son for us, declared us righteous through Christ, and loves us with a love that nothing can ever separate us from.
-
Groaning with Hope
Along with all creation, we groan, awaiting the renewal of our bodies, which God has secured for us in Jesus. In the waiting, God’s Spirit also groans within us, aligning us with God’s purposes.
-
Life in the Spirit / Romans 8
Everything we have received from God for salvation has been by the work of the Spirit applying Christ’s benefits to us.
-
The inner battle / Romans 7
Paul takes us into the ongoing inner battle we face against our flesh, even as those who have been inwardly spiritually renewed and destined for eternity.
-
Free to obey / Romans 6
In Christ we’ve been freed from the slavery of sin and brought into a new way of life that leads to eternal holiness. The path we’ve been freed to walk is obedience - to a good and loving master.
-
Why turn up to church? / Ephesians 3
Church is not merely about what we get out of it like a spiritual service station to fill us up for the week, it is the billboard for displaying the plan of God and merely turning up is a way to glorify God.
-
When Family is Messy / Colossians 3
God’s church is called many things: a building, a body, a light, but also a family. Of all the things families do, one thing they all do is fight. How do we live as God’s people in a family that will inevitably argue and fight? By seeing and treating each other the way God has treated us.
-
The Lord’s Supper / 1 Corinthians 11
What does the Lord desire for and from us as we celebrate the Lord’s Supper?
-
The gift of God / Romans 5
Paul goes on to answer the question of how the great benefits of the Gospel become ours. It’s our association with Christ, with Him as our representative before God that we are able to receive life. Faith moves us from being found in Adam, under the reign of death, into the righteousness and...
-
Benefits of being made right with God / Romans 5
When someone comes to trust in Jesus there is the great promise of forgiveness and eternal life. The benefits of being made right with God, however, are not things simply limited to the future, they begin right now. In Romans 5 we have a listing of multiple benefits to those who trust in Jesus....
-
Righteousness From God / Romans 4
Today, we look at three key topics in this text: righteousness, The Promise and justification. Paul uses these three topics to show us that righteousness is God's gift that opens the door to an unbreakable friendship with God.
-
Justified by faith in Jesus / Romans 3
After laying out the bad news of our absolute inability to approach God on our own terms, Paul shows how God himself has provided all that it needed for righteousness before Him, through Jesus Christ and His atoning work.
-
Compassion - God’s Heart for the Poor / Luke 5
This sermon explores God’s heart for the poor and the root cause of suffering in the world, as the Bible reveals that sin is the root problem behind poverty and brokenness. As we look at key events throughout God’s word, we discover that the good news of Jesus is the ultimate hope for suffering,...
-
The Bad News before the Good News / Romans 3
The Bad News before the Good News: We are all under the power of sin • No one obeys the Law fully, so no one will be declared righteous • The Law doesn’t give salvation, it gives us knowledge of sin • The whole world is accountable to God; We are all facing God’s judgment and His wrath.
-
Morality won’t save you / Romans 2
Humans have a tendency to sit over and above others when we feel privileged. Paul turns to the Jews now to ensure they know their own broken, condemned state before God, even as those who were privileged with God’s law.
-
Suppressing God’s truth / Romans 1
The Gospel reveals both God’s righteousness in Christ, but also why we needed it. Paul lays out here the harsh reality of our wickedness and where it comes from; a suppression of the truth of God’s existence. Yet, even in the face of this truth, the hope of salvation is still held out in the gospel.
-
A Gospel driven life / Romans 1
The Gospel is God’s power for salvation for all people. It drives everything the apostle Paul does. It prompts his prayers, it drives his plans, and it overflows into his proclamation.
-
Jesus Christ: the foundation of the Good News / Romans 1
The relevance of Paul's Gospel message is wholly dependent on and determined by the reality of who Jesus Christ is. Paul claims that he is both a human descendant of David, according to God’s promises, and, by His resurrection, declared to be the Holy Son of God. It’s faith in this Jesus that...
-
Getting it right / Luke 18
Two men go to the temple to pray, but only one comes back right with God. Jesus’ story tells us why.
-
Will you let Jesus serve you? / John 13
Jesus deliberately turns cultural expectations upside down by taking the role of a servant and washing his disciples’ feet. Knowing his authority and his coming suffering, Jesus chooses humility, demonstrating that true greatness is found not in status or power but in self-giving love. Through…
more -
Sure hope / Easter Sunday
If Jesus rose from the dead, if the tomb was empty, then our hope in Him is absolutely certain. He has loved us, forgiven our sins, secured us for eternity, and sharing his message is worthwhile.
-
Save yourself / Good Friday
All the people watching Jesus being crucified hurled insults at him, saying, “Save yourself”. The truth is, he could have, but he didn’t. He stayed there for us, because we couldn’t save ourselves.
-
Does how we use our power really matter? / Mark 10
The world crowns powerful people with money, status, how much you own, how much you are worth, but God crowned Jesus the king with a crown of thorns. And yet through that cross, Jesus displayed the greatest power the universe has ever seen — the power of sacrificial love that saves sinners.…
more -
What must I do to inherit eternal life? / Mark 10
Receiving eternal life is releasing and receiving Jesus.
-
Marriage & Divorce
Jesus responds to the Pharisee’s faulty view of marriage in God’s kingdom with God’s ideal and expectation. Marriage models Jesus’ faithful commitment to his people.
-
Who’s the greatest? / Mark 9
God’s heart beats for those who are in need. In Mark 9, Jesus helps his disciples understand that being like God is losing yourself to serve the least among them, just like Jesus did for us.
-
A Glimpse of the King’s glory
In life there are many voices that we listen to. Our ears are filled with podcasts, music, netflix, news, and politics. In the midst of all the noise it is hard to hear the voice of God speaking to us. In this section of Mark, Jesus takes a few of disciples away and in the midst of a busy season…
more -
Seeing Jesus Clearly / Mark 8
Jesus wants his disciples, and all those who will follow him to see the call clearly. The way of the Christ is the way of the cross, and so too the way of the Christian is the way of the Christ.
-
Struggling to See / Mark 8
It’s possible to know just enough about Jesus to feel confident and still miss him entirely. In Mark 8:1-21, Jesus patiently confronts both hardened unbelief and partial understanding, urging us to move from shallow sight to a deep, life shaping clarity about his identity and mission.
-
Humbled by Jesus / Mark 7
Jesus meets two different groups of people who demonstrate for us what it looks like to approach God with genuine humility, understanding who we are in light of who He is.
-
The Problem of the Heart / Mark 7
Unlike what many of can think, that our greatest problems are external. Jesus clearly describes where our greatest problems come from - the heart!
-
What drives a Christian? / Matthew 28
Disciples of Jesus are driven by the reality of Jesus’ resurrection and commission to give all we’ve got to help others come to find life in Him.
-
What is the Gospel / 1 Corinthians
Paul is defending the physical bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead by drawing from the promises and prophesies of the Old Testament Scriptures and convincing circumstantial evidence from recorded history. He also teaches that the Gospel is mediated on the basis of God’s grace alone…

Does Prayer Change Things? / Jonah 1
Today, as we seek to answer the question, "Does prayer change things?", we are going to do that by asking and answering three further questions:
-
Getting life right in 2026 / 1 Corinthians 11
As we look to a new year, with the opportunities to get ahead and make this year better than the last, there will be no moving forward unless we build our lives upon the solid foundation of God, which the Lord’s Supper helps us do.
-
Christmas Eve / Luke 2
The birth of a King, as you have never seen or heard before...
-
Salvation Has Arrived / Luke 2
Have you had an experience so transcendent that it leaves you profoundly content that there is nothing more in this world you could possibly want? Simeon had this experience when he laid eyes on the baby Jesus. We can also have this experience as we behold Jesus, our salvation.
-
Joy / Luke 1
Zachariah had faith in God's promise, and this brought joy to his community. In Luke chapter 1, we also see Mary's apprehension and fear eased by Elizabeth, who shares her joy in God's faithfulness and love.
-
Waiting well / Luke 1
Mary shows us what it looks like to wait on God well, trusting His promises.
-
Suffering for Christ / 1 Peter 4-5
The Christian life is patterned on Jesus’ own suffering before glory. Just as Jesus was persecuted, his followers will be too. But God has given us helps to persevere in the face of opposition.
-
Living for the Will of God / 1 Peter 4
Christ’s suffering causes us to live for God’s will, not our own.
