From Old Testament practices like gleaning and tithing to modern habits of intentional giving, generosity isn't occasional - it's a way of living. When we hold money lightly and plan to give, God's abundance flows through us, blessing others, supporting His people, and advancing His Kingdom. GOD’S ECONOMICS: A Generous Life...

What if freedom around money isn't about earning more, but trusting more? In this opening message of God's Economics, we look at Jesus' teaching in Luke 12 and uncover how God's way differs from the world's. From scarcity to abundance, from ownership to stewardship, and from self-sufficiency to dependence, we're invited into a deeper trust in the Father. This talk lays the foundation for a life th...

Having a meal with someone is a great way to build relationship. The Bible tells us that Jesus was happy to spend time with “tax collectors and sinners”. As a new follower, Levi was keen to introduce him to His friends and held a great banquet, inviting many tax collectors and “others”. But this did not go down well with the Pharisees – who implied the others are “sinners”. But Jesus suggests that...

God gave prophets as His mouthpieces to challenge and lead His people back to Him. The words they shared were often angry, painful and challenging, yet the message was always based on God’s love and longing for His people.
