In a culture that tells us to "follow your heart" and "live your truth," Peter’s advice sounds incredibly jarring. He calls us to "gird up the loins of our minds"—essentially telling us to pull our thoughts together and get serious. This isn't about being "religious"; it's about being sober-minded. The "Strange Standard" is Holiness. For...

We are exploring the book of 1 Peter over the next few weeks This is a short and easy book to read, it was written by Peter, one of the main disciples of Jesus Christ and an eye witness to all the things that Jesus did and what happened to him. 'Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. ' 1 Peter 4:12

We have followed Abraham into the unknown and stepped onto the water with Peter, witnessing how faith moves us into radical action. But what happens when you’ve done your due diligence—you’ve prayed, listened, and acted—yet heaven remains silent? What do you do when the "walls" in your life remain standing, the opposition seems to be winning, and your persistence feels like it’s hitting...

The Apostle James suggests that faith without movement might actually be no faith at all. In our last session, we watched Abraham leave the known for the unknown; today, we witnessed the "kinetic moment" of faith. What happens when we are called to step into a situation that—scientifically and rationally speaking—defies the very laws of physics? This session explores the art of "ste...

Is faith merely wishful thinking, eventually eclipsed by the lens of science? Even among believers, the lines can often blur: where does authentic faith end, and where does common sense or rational thinking begin? The Bible is unequivocal on the matter: the just shall live by faith. This isn’t just a religious platitude; it is a fundamental orientation of the mind, defining how we navigate life th...

We live in a performance-driven world. From our jobs to our social feeds, we are taught that we are only as good as our last "win." Tragically, this mindset often leaks into our faith. We start to believe a dangerous lie: that we are saved by grace, but accepted by our works.  The truth however is this “No Add-Ons Required" It’s important to be aware of the religious rules and denom...

Anyone who has migrated to a new country knows the tension: how do you honour your roots without losing yourself in a new culture? How do you adapt to your environment without being absorbed by it? As believers, we face this daily. We are living in a culture that isn't our "home" country, and the pressure to blend in is constant. In this session of The Constant New, we’re exposing t...

Moving from Spiritual Consumerism to  Spiritual Contribution 'The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.' Lamentations 3:22-23 This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! 2 Corinthians 5:17 So how do we stay constantly new? How do...
