Some argue that Christians shouldn’t bring their beliefs into public discussion. But everyone has a belief system that informs every decision they make. So it is contradictory to say that non christians can bring their beliefs into public discussion but Christian’s can’t. So the quetion isn't whether Christians should engage with politics but rather how? Listen to find out about how Christians can...

Checkout how Jesus has been at work in the life of one of our youth, Rachel

We often compare ourselves to others which may give us the impression were pretty good people. But, when God looks at the heart, what does he see?

The parable of the good samaritan reminds us both of our need for Jesus and also the true nature of Christian ministry, that it is costly and lonely. In this talk you will be challenged to consider who you are choosing to love and how you might expand that circle to include others.

How can we ensure we are like the good soil that bears much fruit and perseveres till the end? Find out in this talk

The Christian life like a battle. A battle of light and darkness. Whether or not you realized it, Satan is always at work trying to temp you into believing God’s word isn’t good. And your own sinful selfish desires are always waging war within us to give in to temptation. The longer you have been a Christian the more you will realise how hard it is to keep saying no to temptation and sin. To keep...

Here is a summary of what the Bible teaches about predestination and free will. 

What is predestination? Don't we have free will? Do we need to evangelize if God chooses people? Hear what God's word has to say about these questions and more in our Q and A this week.

I watch a lot of movies and one thing I have come to expect from sequels is that, your essentially going to get the same plot, just in a different situation. For example, when the star wars movie rogue one came out, surprise surprise, the first order had built, wait for it, another planet sized space gun. This paints a good picture of the repeated cycle in the book of Judges. We get the same plot,...

Christians often forget who they are. And in so doing they forfeit the confidence that God has promised them. So, in this talk, we are going to spend some time looking at Romans 8 and being reminded of who we are when we trust in Jesus. And my hope is that, in doing so, we will be encouraged and spurred on with confidence and perseverance in our prayer life.

We have all made decisions that seemed reasonable at the time which we later come to regret. Sometimes, those close to us can see the foolishness in these decisions and seek to offer us counsel. In this passage, God helps Israel sees their foolishness from his perspective that they might turn back to him and see that sometimes, what looks like success in our eyes can really be failure

Some people see no need for the cross. They think of God's anger as either unnecessary or plain wrong. But for us to understand the brightness of the good news of the cross, we need to set it against the darkness of the bad news of Romans 1

Most of us grow up with the unquestioned belief in “progress.” We hear it all the time at our schools, that you can be whatever you want to be. We look at advances in medicine and technology and conclude things are only getting better. Many of our friends shares a common belief: What is new is better than what is old. They call Christian perspectives outdated, or medieval and bigoted And they poin...

Last week, on September 8, the coded message was delivered—“London Bridge is down.” That was the signal communicating the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The idea of a Monarchy is strange to most of us. The Monarchy represents a very old way of thinking. That the King or Queen is appointed by God to rule over the nation The idea of a God-appointed ruler or representative is a theme that we find in to...
