Am I Really In Control? | Deep Roots, Real Fruit - Self-control
What controls you? In week 5 of Deep Roots, Real Fruit, we start looking at what spiritual growth actually produces in the life of a Christian - beginning with the real fruit of self-control. In Galatians 5:13-17 we see that Jesus came to free us from being controlled by our sinful desires so…

Can I Be A Christian Without Church? | Deep Roots, Real Fruit - Church
Can you really follow Jesus on your own? In this week of Deep Roots, Real Fruit, we look at church - not as a building or an institution, but as God’s people gathering together. From Hebrews 10:24-25, we see that Christians aren't meant to do life or faith alone. God grows his people as we...
-
Why Should I Pray? | Deep Roots, Real Fruit - Prayer
In this episode of Deep Roots, Real Fruit, we look at prayer - what it actually is, why Christians pray, and how Jesus teaches us to pray in Matthew 6. Prayer isn't about using the right words, impressing God, or treating him like a vending machine. It's about talking with our Father and growing…

God Speaks, Will You Listen? | Deep Roots, Real Fruit - The Bible
In week 2 of Deep Roots, Real Fruit, we explore the bible! why do Christians believe the Bible is God’s Word and why does it matter for our lives? Looking at 2 Timothy 3, we see that the Bible isn’t just a book of human ideas about God, but God revealing himself to us so that we can know him, be...
-
Are You Dead or Alive? | Deep Roots Real Fruit - The Gospel
How do you grow as a Christian? Can you become a better person just by trying harder? The Bible's answer might surprise you. Before it talks about growing good fruit in our lives, it says something far more confronting: dead things don't produce fruit. In the first talk of our new Deep Roots…

The Father Who Gives Good Gifts | Matthew 7:7-12 - Built Different
In Matthew 7:7-12, Jesus invites us to ask, seek, and knock, not because God is reluctant to listen, but because he is a loving Father who delights in giving good gifts to his children. This passage reminds us that prayer isn't about convincing God to care. It's about learning to depend on the…
more -
Did Jesus Really Say "Don't Judge"? | Matthew 7:1-6 - Built Different
"Don't judge" It's one of the most quoted phrases from the Bible... but is it actually what Jesus meant? In Matthew 7:1-6, Jesus doesn't tell his followers to ignore sin or stop using wisdom. Instead, he confronts a judgmental, self-righteous attitude that forgets the grace we've received from…
more -
Treasure, Worry & What Really Matters | Matthew 6:19-20 - Built Different
In Matthew 6:19–34, Jesus challenges us to think about what we're really chasing. Everything this world offers eventually fades, but the things of God's kingdom last forever. The surprising part is that when our treasure changes, so do our worries. Jesus reminds us that we have a heavenly Father...
-
Who are you really living for? | Matthew 6:1-18 - Built Different
Would you still pray if nobody knew? Would you still read your Bible? Would you still follow Jesus if no one was watching? In Matthew 6:1-18, Jesus exposes the danger of performing our faith for other people. Giving, praying, and fasting are all good things, but they can become empty if our goal…
more -
Anger, Lust, And Our Deep Need For Jesus - Matthew 5:21-32 | Built Different
Content warning: This episode discusses anger, lust, and sexual sin. Anger doesn’t start with violence. Lust doesn’t start with actions. Both begin in the heart. In Matthew 5:21-32, Jesus goes beneath behaviour to our hearts. Where unchecked anger grows into destruction, and unchecked lust…
more -
Did Jesus Cancel The Old Testament? - Matthew 5:17-20 | Built Different
Do Christians actually need the Old Testament anymore? What even is going on with all the strange laws, sacrifices, and commands in the Bible? And when Jesus came, did he just get rid of all of it? In Matthew 5:17-20, Jesus says something surprising: “I have not come to abolish the Law and the...
-
Light and Salty Christians | Matthew 5:13-16 - Built Different
Christians don’t get a neutral life. Whether you realise it or not, your life is already saying something about Jesus. In Matthew 5:13-16, Jesus calls his people the salt of the earth and the light of the world. In other words, followers of Jesus are meant to stand out. Not by trying to be…
more -
The Good Life Isn't What You Think! - Matthew 5:1-12 | Built Different
We all have a picture of the good life. Success? Comfort? Approval? Control? But what if we’ve got it completely wrong? In Matthew 5:1-12, Jesus lays out a picture of a good life. A blessed life. *Spoiler alert* It’s nothing like what we expect! The flourishing life isn’t proud, powerful, or...
-
You Will Fail The Test… But Jesus Didn’t - This Is Jesus | Matthew 4:1–11
What if your place with God depended on passing a test perfectly? No mistakes. No slipping up. No second chances. In Matthew 4:1–11, a similar test happens. But you aren't the one taking it. Jesus is tempted, pushed to the limit, and offered shortcuts to an easier life and glory. But where…
more -
The King Who Took Our Place - This Is Jesus | Matthew 3:13–17
Why would a perfect person be baptised for repentance? In Matthew 3:13-17, Jesus steps into the water - not because He needs forgiveness, but because we do. Jesus chooses to stand in our place, identifying with sinners and committing Himself to a path that will lead to the cross. This is a...
-
Are you ready for the king? - This Is Jesus | Matthew 3:1-12
What would you do if you knew a king was about to arrive… and you weren’t ready? In Matthew 3:1-12, John the Baptist appears in the wilderness with a blunt message: the King is coming. Get ready. Crowds come to hear him. Some repent. Others assume they’re already safe. But John makes it clear…
more -
Hope When The World Fails - This Is Jesus | Matthew 2:13-23
When we look at the world, it can feel hopeless. Families fleeing. Leaders abusing power. Innocence crushed. In Matthew 2:13-23, we see a world in a similar situation. Jesus, the Son of God, is fleeing a violent king and living in humility and obscurity. But Matthew helps us see something bigger...
-
The King Worthy Of Worship - This Is Jesus | Matthew 2:1-12
The Magi travelled from far away to worship Him. Herod felt threatened enough to try and destroy Him. How will you respond to Jesus? In Matthew 2:1-12, we see two completely different responses to the birth of Christ. Foreigners pursue him with joy, surrender, and worship. A king sees a rival to...
-
The Virgin-Born King You Can Trust - This Is Jesus - Matthew 1:18-25
Trust often feels risky. We find ourselves fact-checking, double-checking, and looking for a track record - because trust grows where faithfulness is proven. In Matthew 1:18–25, we’re confronted with a scandal: an unmarried young woman found to be pregnant. It’s a moment where trust is tested.…
more -
Blessing, Freedom And The Way Home - This Is Jesus | Matthew 1:1-17
Matthew’s Gospel opens with a long list of names and at first glance, it doesn’t seem very exciting. But this genealogy isn’t random. It tells a story. From Abraham to David to the exile, God made promises to bless, to send a forever King, and to bring His people home. For centuries, those…

Sent To Make Disciples | Matthew 28:18-20
Who are we at Rest·Awe Youth and why do we exist? Before starting at the beginning of Matthew, we went to the end. In Matthew 28:18–20, Jesus gives a mission to His disciples: go and make disciples. That mission shapes everything about who we are at Rest·Awe Youth. We’re not just a Friday night...
-
Can I have confidence in Jesus? - 1 John 1:1-4
It’s getting harder to know what’s real - fakes, filters, and false claims are everywhere. When it comes to Jesus, we can easily wonder, “How can I have confidence in him?” Thankfully, the apostle John wrote his letter of 1 John to people facing similar uncertainties. In this Rest·Awe Youth Talk,...
-
What am I living for? Now or Eternity? - Against The Tide: Living For Eternity - Colossians 3:1-17
What are you living for? Now or Eternity? Are you just drifting with the tide - chasing what won’t last - or are you swimming toward Jesus, the only path to eternal life? This week at Rest·Awe Youth, we opened Colossians 3:1-17 to see how Jesus frees us to live not just for now, but for forever....
-
Loving God & Others - Relationships Against The Tide - Matthew 22:34-40 + 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Relationships can be complicated. Friends drift, dating gets messy, families clash. The tide around us says 'put yourself first'. This doesn't work. Jesus calls us to something greater: to love God above all, and to love others out of the overflow of His love for us. This week at Rest·Awe Youth…

Searching for more? Jesus satisfies - Against The Tide - John 4:5-14
We’re all thirsty for something. We long for peace, love, belonging, purpose... But too often we run to the wrong wells: approval, relationships, success, or scrolling endlessly on our phones. They promise life but leave us empty. In John 4, a woman comes to a well, thirsty and weighed down by...
-
How We Speak | Against The Tide - Ephesians 4:25-32 + 1 Peter 3:15
How we speak matters. We’ve all felt the sting of careless words, and we’ve all said things we wish we could take back. This week at Rest·Awe Youth we opened Ephesians 4:25-32 and 1 Peter 3:15 to explore how followers of Jesus are called to use their words. Have a listen and discover what it…

Scroll or Swim? - Phones & Social Media Against The Tide
We live in a world that never looks up. Screens glow, feeds refresh, and our lives get swallowed by endless scrolling. Social media, games, notifications on repeat… They shape us more than we want to admit. Jesus calls us to something better: to focus our attention on Him. Speaker: Sam Foster...
-
Stress Less, Trust More - Against The Tide

Forgiveness: Against The Tide - Colossians 3:13 & Matthew 18:21-35
