Doxa Deo Auckland English

During Bible Month in New Zealand, we are asking the question "Is the Bible still relevant in today's culture?" And why is it important to still believe in the Bible's relevance and authority?

If everything you have is a gift from God, what does it look like to take that seriously? Jesus tells a parable about a master who entrusts his servants with his possessions. When he returns, he does not ask how much did you have. He asks what did you do with what you had. That changes everything. Success is not the size of your account or your house. Success is how faithfully you manage what God...

The Bible says generosity is the fruit of a heart that has seen the grace of God. The Macedonians in 2 Corinthians 8 were poor. Seriously poor. And yet they begged Paul to let them be part of an offering. Not because they had to. But because they had seen grace, and generosity was simply the overflow. This week we begin a two-week journey to understand why generosity is not a budgeting issue. It i...

You have a gift. Scripture is clear about that. 1 Corinthians 12:7 says it without hesitation: a spiritual gift is given to each of us. But here is the part we often miss: the gift is not for you. It is in you, for someone else. The Holy Spirit does not only want to live in you. He wants to work through you. And the place where it matters most is not a Sunday service. It is your home, your workpla...

We talk a lot about the Holy Spirit. But what does a life actually filled and directed by Him look like? Paul gives a surprising answer in Ephesians 5. He compares a Spirit-filled life to drunkenness, and the difference is not what you think. Alcohol lowers your awareness and makes you see less. The Spirit raises your spiritual awareness and makes you see more, more of God's reality, more of H...

Most of us have been trying to live the Christian life in a way that was never designed to work. We make promises, try harder, fall short, feel guilty, and repeat the whole cycle. Something feels like it isn't quite connecting, and we quietly wonder if we're just not cut out for this. But here's what we’re talking about today: that's not a you problem. That's a “who are you dep...

We talk a lot about God the Father and about Jesus. But the Holy Spirit often stays blurry for many of us. A feeling. A force. Something that happens at church. Scripture paints a very different picture. The Holy Spirit is a Person. He lives in every believer. And He is your Advocate, your legal counsel, standing beside you 24 hours a day, pleading your case against fear, guilt, self-hatred and li...

It's easy to love the people who are easy to love. But what about the people outside your circle? The ones who are different, the ones with complicated histories, the ones who make you uncomfortable? The parable of the Good Samaritan is one of the most well-known stories in the Bible, but it's also one of the most uncomfortable. This message will challenge you to look differently at the pe...

Through the story of the woman caught in adultery in John 8, Jesus shows us that love is expressed in three distinct ways: through Grace, through Truth, and through Righteousness. These three pillars work together and call us to make a fundamental shift: from a self-focused mindset to an others-focused mindset, because this is the foundational attitude from which love grows.

We live in a time with more connections than ever before. Followers, contacts, acquaintances. And yet more people than ever are experiencing deep loneliness. Today's message asks a simple question: what does true friendship actually look like? Through the remarkable relationship of David and Jonathan, we discover that real friendship is built on three pillars: loyalty that stands in the gap, c...

We all know we should love. We read it in 1 Corinthians 13. We hear it in sermons. But how? How do you actually live it out when the relationship is hard, when the conversation hurts, when your own strength has run out? This week we discover the one thing Paul mentions at the end of his letter to the Corinthians as the secret behind everything: the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. He wants to help y...

Everyone talks about love. But is it actually working in your life? Not as a nice feeling, not as a vague idea, but as a transforming, practical, daily reality? In this message we open up 1 Corinthians 13 not at a wedding, but in the middle of real conflict, real relationships and real life. We discover that love has a proven track record, that it is actively at work in you right now, and that it...

What happened in the 40 day period between the Resurrection and the ascension? Today Jaques shares some thoughts on Jesus' last moments before he ascended to heaven and the significance of it for us today.

One moment in time, two thousand years ago, changed the trajectory of humanity! Listen as Jaco Schutte shares about the resurrection of Jesus.

Jaco Schutte leads us in a message today as we go over the story of The Cross again. Hebrews 12:1-3 encourages us to allow this story to be the source of new inspiration and life.

Most of us know what we should do — but knowing and doing are two very different things. In Part 2 of Moments Before the Cross, we follow Jesus from the upper room into the Garden of Gethsemane, and we discover what it really looks like to turn the theory of abiding into lived reality.

What if the secret to a fruitful life has nothing to do with trying harder? In this message from our 'Moments Before the Cross' series, we explore what Jesus said to His disciples hours before His arrest — and why the word 'abide' might be the most life-changing word you encounter this Easter. Listen now and discover how staying connected to the Source changes everything.

How does real transformation actually happen in the life of a follower of Jesus? We explore Paul’s powerful words in 2 Corinthians 3:18 and discover that spiritual growth is not powered by our willpower, emotions, or knowledge, but by the Holy Spirit. As we behold the glory of God and enjoy honest fellowship with Him, something remarkable happens: we are gradually transformed into the image of Jes...

What’s the difference between sounding Christian and actually becoming Christlike? Today we explore Paul’s powerful challenge to the church in Corinth. Even with spiritual gifts, passionate worship, and deep knowledge, something essential was missing. Without love, it was just noise. This message invites us to move beyond simply receiving the grace of Jesus to actually becoming the grace of Jesus....

What if spiritual maturity isn’t about doing more for God, but about being more deeply loved by Him? Today we discover how Paul points the Corinthian church—and us—to the true solution for immaturity: knowing God as Father. This message unpacks how love precedes identity, identity precedes activity, and how being loved by the Father transforms us from “mere humans” into beloved sons and daughters...

Becoming Love is an invitation to live the glory of God. Discover how spiritual maturity is measured not by performance or knowledge but by transformation into love as we journey through Corinthians together.

We firmly believe that we start at the finish. Jesus made that possible—the cross was a success. The work is finished. We don't have to climb the ladder to reach God. He did it for us—but even more, He did it with us and he is doing it in us. If this is where we are, what do we aim for? We aim to love—to be His love, His faithful presence in this world.

In Christ, you are not who you were, you are who God says you are. Discover the 11 identity shifts that redefine your life, faith, and future.

A Word from God can change everything. In this message, we unpack how Doxa Deo was built on a promise, how compassion leads to partnership, and how God uses ordinary people to transform cities. This is not just our story , it’s an invitation into God’s mission.

Repentance isn’t about guilt, it’s about alignment. Discover how thinking differently leads to real transformation. God is already at work in you. Repentance is your invitation to cooperate with what He’s renewing.
