What does God want to show us, and what do we expect? Are we ready to explore beyond our comfort zones? The book of Job isn't just about loss or suffering—it's about knowing a God who understands and is with us. Job challenges us to learn from hardship, ask deeper questions, and seek a greaterunderstanding of God. Job reminds us to dig deeper, go further, and to know God more.

God Is Not Done. This Christmas Eve message explores how God's nature has remained steady throughout history, continually showing faithfulness and love. The story of Christmas serves as a reminder that God never abandons us, no matter what happens—even when it’s difficult to accept or understand. Through this message, we learn that Christmas encourages us not to give up, because God will never...

This season serves as a poignant reminder that our world is often challenging, confusing, and shrouded in darkness. Jesus stands as the light of life—the one true source of illumination. Christmas encourages us to recognise Christ's presence in every circumstance we encounter. The significance of this message extends beyond the holiday itself; it calls for a daily, continuous focus. Jesus brin...

Everyone goes through changes and transitions—both on a daily basis and throughout life. Navigating these transitions is a universal experience. It's essential to remember that, from this perspective, God remains constant during times of change. Consider what opportunities or lessons might be present for you right now. How can we make wise choices when faced with decisions? Much like traveller...

Friend, we can all feel beaten down in life, struggling with challenges, changes in our circumstances, or anything else. But a thorough look into God's word, and you will find it filled with people who felt beaten or beaten by life circumstances. But then, God shines through. He has given us all we need to live in this life. He gave us His Holy Spirit. To know him, to trust him, to daily surre...

It is because of the faith we have received that we can all experience freedom in Christ. Freedom from the drain of sin, the damage of sin. God gives us faith to enable us to live in His power through the presence of the Holy Spirit. Ken unpacksfor us the importance of justification. That is why every day is an essential day for the gospel and building faith. The Christian life is far more than a...

Hey friends, no second guesses about the focus of today’s message — that’s right, “Hello Anxiety.” Friends, we are living in a time filled with more distractions, more options, more technology, and more voices competing for our attention than ever before. In the middle of all of that, we must learn to stop, slow down, breathe, and listen. What is God saying to your spirit today? Through God’s Word...

A lot can happen in a single day—as a new day begins, as seen in Matthew chapter nine, which is filled with Jesus’s ministry: breakthroughs, transformations, healings, miracles, and even raising the dead. At the end of this eventful day, Jesus sends out his disciples, facing head-on the challenge of the kingdom harvest and embracing kingdom life in the present. May you draw encouragement and hope...

God has modelled very specifically how to overcome fear and disabling dread. The most epic fail of what fear can do as it intrudes on God's plans for your life. As seen in believing God's promises are for you to take possession of the land He has promised. God breaks it down as a model that works if we work it into our daily lives. It's not rocket science, it's not mysterious or va...

Today's message is a powerful reminder that God's grace is a profound force in our lives, serving as the source of every promise and blessing we receive. It is through grace that God's heart responds to us, providing what we need forourselves and the benefit of others. Grace supplies all the necessary promises, Salvation, blessings, and practical responses from God's heart to our l...

In today's world, where fear and propaganda are widespread, it's easy to become overwhelmed. Fear is profitable for many. Yet, we are encouraged to confront our fears, acknowledge them, and claim our freedom from them. The Scriptures state that God has not given us a spirit of fear . Life can be difficult,especially when it feels like a spiritual struggle. However, there's hope: God&#3...

We all know we are living in a time of darkness. We are alsoliving in an appointed, strategic, opportune, heaven ordained time. However, in that darkness, the children of God are the light that shines bright. God is casting his fisher’s net across the earth, resulting in multitudes being saved into His kingdom.

Is there a difference between being grateful and thankful? Probably not much. Both words are used to show appreciation. David goes on to tell the story of the 10 lepers and shares how being grateful and thankful are not natural behaviours, but learnt.

On this Anniversary Celebration Sunday, we shared a fresh “now word” for UBC, capturing the heart of God’s mission for us today. Following this, Pastor Matt Garvin, our incoming Mission Director, gave a powerful message on the kingdom of God. He reminded us that we are not to adopt the patterns and principles of the world, but instead to live differently—and better—because of Christ. He also chall...

One Priority - In our busy world, where life is filled with constant motion and endless demands, the main issue is not opportunity but a lack of focus or a lack of priority. Amidst all the noise, Jesus calls us to a different path. In Matthew 6, He highlights generosity, prayer, fasting, and above all, setting one priority. If there's one thing Jesus desires from us, here it is…ONE PRIOITY!

We all face challenges and temptations in life, often feeling torn by difficult decisions and emotions. This message aims to address real issues we encounter daily and encourages us to confront and learn from temptation. Paul offers guidance to help the early church overcome various temptations, reminding us that difficulties are part of our journey. The key is that God provides a way out and supp...

The phrase “Who is your daddy?” is a contemporaryinterpretation of Jesus questioning the religious leaders of his day. Because they thought Abraham was our father, as a legacy and mark of superiority. Jesus couldn't let this one go. His mission to set the captives free included everyone,even religious people. He had no other option but to refute. The argument escalates in a robust exchange where J...

Shift – refers to remaining adaptable when facing change. We need to appreciate how we keep in step when God is on the move. The song, Holy Forever, the lyrics, God Never Stops Working, is a deep reminder that we are always living amongst change. That is, in essence, being alive. Today, one of the key messages shared is that with such shifts in life, we need to shift as well. We, the church, are i...

Our world says, “You are number one, the focus, the celebration.” But this mindset doesn’t build laith. The Bible shows us a deeper truth—we are loved and valued yet also flawed and broken. When I feel like I’m not enough, I must remember: God is enough. Inadequacy reminds us we are incomplete without Jesus. We need His presence, strength, and Spirit. Like Paul, we can say: “When I am weak, then I...

Everyone encounters periods of disillusionment, arising when expectations are unmet or outcomes fall short ofwhat was anticipated. Unanswered prayers, deferred successes, and disappointed hopes often contribute to these experiences. Disillusionment occurs when there is a disconnect between what we expect from God and how events actually unfold. After his resurrection, Jesus appeared to two followe...

Who is the greatest? According to Jesus, it is the one who serves—the one who becomes the servant of all. Serving is not only a core value of kingdom life; it is perfectly exemplified in the Son of God, who came to serve humanity with the gift of salvation. All four of our values are shaped and defined by our ability and willingness to serve: Mission – is the purpose to serve. Discipleship – is th...

Today’s message from Pastor Louis focuses on the importance of fellowship. Many don’t realise that fellowship isn’t just a nice extra—it’s a calling. Because of God’s faithfulness, we are invited into a relationship with Him and with one another. This is not a season for isolation or judgment, but a time to reconnect, renew, and bring our God-given gifts to the table. The question we all must ask...

As we share highlights from the Baptist World Alliance Congress gathering in Queensland, we are reminded of the powerful unity we share as the global Baptist family. The ministry, heart, passion, and faithfulness of God’s people from every nation were truly inspiring. It was a glimpse of heaven—worshipping together in one Spirit, one hope, and one purpose. The Acts2Movement is a timely and global...
