Andy Jamieson explores the stark contrast between outward religion and wholehearted obedience, revealing how our response to Jesus exposes the true condition of our hearts.Andy walks us through the account of the sinful woman and Simon the Pharisee, showing how genuine faith produces repentance, humility, and visible obedience rather than empty religious performance. As we reflect on Jesus’ authority to forgive and the call to follow Him wholeheartedly, we are encouraged to consider whether our lives merely speak the right words or truly respond to Him with trust, love, and obedience.Recorded at the Hukanui Bible Church morning service on Sunday the 10th of May 2026 during the 10:00 am service.

Gary Leslie traces how repeated moments in Joseph’s life reveal deliberate design, not chance, showing us God’s hand at work even in upheaval and injustice.Gary walks us through Genesis 39–41, where we see Joseph’s journey from favour to slavery, from false accusation to prison, and ultimately to authority in Egypt, all under God’s purposeful direction. We recognise that God is not governed by chance but by intention, using hardship, testing, and waiting to refine His servant. Through Joseph’s faithfulness, resistance to temptation, and trust in God’s timing, we see vivid portraits of Christ and a reminder that our circumstances may shift wildly, yet God’s presence remains constant. Together, we are called to trust His purposes, endure trials with perspective, and look ahead to the greater hope that points us toward glory beyond present suffering.This is part 2 of 3 of a series titled "Purpose & Passion in a Perplexing World".Recorded at the Hukanui Bible Church morning service on Sunday the 19th of April 2026 during the 10:00 am service.

Jeff Samuel delivers a compelling message tracing God’s sweeping plan through Israel’s story, urging us to rethink our place within it.Jeff walks us through the message by unfolding God’s plan as seen in His covenant relationship with Israel, portraying it as a marriage marked by promise, unfaithfulness, separation, and eventual restoration. We are shown how Israel’s idolatry led to judgement and divorce under the Mosaic covenant, yet God’s unconditional promise to Abraham remains, leading to the establishment of a new covenant fulfilled in Christ. As Jeff explains, we as believers are grafted into this promise by faith, not as replacements but as participants in God’s ongoing purpose. He calls us to understand Scripture deeply, to view Israel through a biblical lens rather than cultural narratives, and to hold a balanced, humble posture as we recognise both God’s faithfulness and His future plans.Recorded at the Hukanui Bible Church morning service on Sunday the 12th of April 2026 during the 10:00 am service.

Billy Hanna urges us to confront our own blindness before criticising others, exposing the danger of harsh judgement and the necessity of grace.Billy Hanna walks us through Jesus’ teaching on judgement, reminding us that while we are not called to avoid discernment, we must approach it with humility and self-awareness. As we reflect on the “log and speck” analogy, we are confronted with our tendency to magnify others’ faults while ignoring our own deeper issues. He calls us to remember that we will stand before God, receiving abundant grace, and so we should extend that same grace to others. As we examine our hearts, we are encouraged to deal seriously with our own sin first, allowing God to transform us भीतर, so that any correction we offer comes from love rather than pride. Ultimately, we are pointed to Christ, whose grace enables us to judge rightly, live faithfully, and build our lives on a firm foundation.Recorded at the Hukanui Bible Church morning service on Sunday the 22nd of March 2026 during the 10:00 am service.

Billy Hanna confronts our assumptions about love, showing that the love we naturally practise is far different from the radical love Jesus calls us to display.Billy Hanna explores Jesus’ teaching about two very different ways to love. We see how the world’s love is transactional — given only when something is received in return — while the love Jesus calls us to practise is outward-focused, active, and even extended to our enemies. As we reflect on our relationships, we are reminded that such costly love is only possible when we first grasp the depth of God’s mercy toward us in Christ. When we truly know we have been loved while still undeserving, we are freed to overflow with that same mercy, loving others not for what we gain, but because we have already received everything from God.Recorded at the Hukanui Bible Church morning service on Sunday the 15th of March 2026 during the 10:00 am service.

Dan Pettersen shows us that true happiness is not found in favourable circumstances but in a deeper, lasting contentment that comes from trusting God.Dan Pettersen explains how Jesus redefines what happiness really means, showing us that it is not dependent on wealth, comfort, popularity, or easy circumstances. Through Jesus’ teaching, we see that real happiness comes when we recognise our dependence on God, hunger to do what is right, face the realities of life and death honestly, and remain faithful even when doing the right thing brings opposition. As we consider what we are trusting in for our happiness, we are reminded that lasting contentment grows as we place our confidence not in what we have, but in the God who provides for us and promises a greater reward beyond this life.Recorded at the Hukanui Bible Church morning service on Sunday the 8th of March 2026 during the 10:00 am service.

Peter Sun exposes the tension between outward religion and inward renewal, showing how easily we mistake appearances for true obedience.Peter Sun leads us through Luke 5:33–6:11, confronting our fixation on religious optics and public perception. As we listen, we see how we can prioritise fasting, Sabbath-keeping, and visible piety while missing the heart of God’s mercy.

Together, we are called to rejoice in the presence of the Bridegroom, and to embrace the newness He brings.Recorded at the Hukanui Bible Church morning service on Sunday the 1st of March 2026 during the 10:00 am service.

Andrew Linton recounts a shocking team selection that mirrors Christ’s call to the most unlikely follower.Andrew Linton walks us through the message of Levi’s dramatic encounter with Jesus, reminding us that we too were not chosen for our merit but by sheer grace. As we consider Levi the despised tax collector, we see how easily we slip into pride and performance like the Pharisees, measuring ourselves by externals rather than by repentance and relationship. Andrew urges us to recognise our need of the great Physician, to turn with contrite hearts, and to follow wholeheartedly, knowing that Christ seeks the sick, restores the outcast, and calls us into a life-changing relationship marked by mercy rather than mere sacrifice.Recorded at the Hukanui Bible Church morning service on Sunday the 22nd of February 2026 during the 10:00 am service.

As we listen, we’re reminded that Jesus is not only willing but able to make us clean, restoring those pushed to the margins and addressing our deepest need — the forgiveness of sins. Billy helps us see that faith is active and visible, and that when we come to Christ — whether on our own feet or carried by others — we encounter both mercy and authority that leave us glorifying God in awe.Recorded at the Hukanui Bible Church morning service on Sunday the 15th of February 2026 during the 10:00 am service.

Geoff Smith challenges us to see faith not as ritual, but as transformation — where obedience meets revelation, and doubt gives way to conviction.Geoff shares a powerful message on the call of discipleship, drawing from the miraculous catch of fish to reveal the difference between being saved and being a follower. Through humour, humility, and heartfelt teaching, he reminds us that salvation is a gift received in a moment, while discipleship is a lifelong process of growth and surrender. As we journey through Peter’s encounter with Jesus, we are encouraged to move beyond the shallows of belief and step into the deeper waters of faith, trust, and true devotion.Recorded at the Hukanui Bible Church morning service on Sunday the 7th of December 2025 during the 10:00 am service.

Drawing from the account of Jesus in the wilderness, he challenges us to pause before acting, to recognise what’s truly at stake — our future, our families, and our faith — and to choose trust instead of impulse. Through practical reflections and heartfelt encouragement, we’re reminded that when we cooperate with God rather than trying to manipulate Him, we find grace, wisdom, and lasting peace in the midst of life’s temptations.Recorded at the Hukanui Bible Church morning service on Sunday the 9th of November 2025 during the 10:00 am service.

He explains the purpose of the law—not as a means of salvation, but as a way to reveal sin, guide people toward God, and prepare them for the coming of Christ. The message highlights how the barriers once present in the Old Testament—between Jew and Gentile, male and female, slave and free—have been removed through Christ, granting all believers direct access to God.

Gavin Lynch delivers a powerful message on Galatians 3:10-14, exploring the contrast between the law, the curse, and Christ’s redeeming work.Gavin shares a personal story about a speeding ticket to illustrate how impossible it is to keep the law perfectly, drawing a parallel to our spiritual condition. He explains that relying on the law for salvation only leads to separation from God, as no one can fully keep it. Instead, he emphasizes that true righteousness comes through faith in Jesus Christ, who took on the curse for us through His death on the cross. The message highlights the freedom believers have in Christ—salvation is not about our own efforts, but about trusting in Jesus alone. Concluding with a call to rely fully on Christ’s sufficiency, Gavin reminds us that God’s love is not earned but freely given.Recorded at the Hukanui Bible Church morning service on Sunday the 9th of March 2025 during the 10:00 am service.

Billy Hanna continues a deep dive into the book of Galatians, focusing on Galatians 2:11-21—a passage centred around a pivotal conflict between the apostles Paul and Peter.Billy unpacks how the confrontation between Paul and Peter wasn’t just a disagreement but a crucial moment in defining the true gospel: that we are justified by faith in Christ alone, not by works or adherence to the law.Billy explores Peter’s moment of hypocrisy, Paul’s bold rebuke, and the profound truth that the gospel isn’t just something we believe—it must shape the way we live. He challenges listeners to view the world through a gospel lens, letting it transform every aspect of their lives, from personal struggles to relationships.With powerful insights from Galatians 2:20, this message is both a theological deep-dive and a call to live out our faith with boldness and authenticity. Listen and be reminded that in Christ, "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me."Recorded at the Hukanui Bible Church morning service on Sunday the 16th of February 2025 during the 10:00 am service.
