Episodes

Matthew 18 Part 1 22.05.2026

As we go through this world, we can end up alone, sometimes by circumstance, and other times by our own choices. But when we follow Jesus and accept Him into our hearts, He doesn’t call us to isolation, waiting for the end of the world. He calls us to be the salt of the earth and ambassadors of Christ in the world. That’s why, in today’s message, Pastor Richard encourages you to find a Bible-belie...

Matthew 17 Part 2 21.05.2026

Have you ever been through a storm in your life that felt never-ending, like one bad thing after another? Sometimes, when you go through seasons of hardship, you can only see what’s right in front of you, and it can cloud your perspective. But in today’s message, Pastor Richard encourages you to have faith in Jesus Christ - to trust that He is by your side through the storm, and allow Him to guide...

Matthew 17 Part 1 20.05.2026

Often in life, when we go through hard times, we’re left wondering why we experienced such pain, and it can lead us to ask, “Why did God allow this?” But today, Pastor Richard urges us to trust God’s perspective. What we may see as suffering, He can use as a time of growth and shaping in our lives. When God allows us to go through storms, it is not to harm us, but to form us into who He is calling...

Matthew 16 Part 2 19.05.2026

Sometimes in life, we have to decide what is worth holding on to and what is worth letting go. For many, they chase after possessions, fame, and status, even at the cost of their soul. But in today’s message, Pastor Richard wants you to know that Jesus has already paid the price for your sin. He died for you and rose again three days later. Will you accept His gift of grace, or continue trying to...

Matthew 16 Part 1 18.05.2026

As you go through this life, you’ll make many decisions… what direction in life to take, what career to pursue, and more. But the most important decision you will ever make is this: “Who is Jesus Christ to me?” Is He just a historical figure with good teachings, or is He the Son of God who came to this earth to die for your sins and conquer the grave? Today, Pastor Richard invites you to invite Je...

James 2:1-14, John 4:7-30 Part 2 17.05.2026

Isn't it amazing how when God steps in during tough times, our hearts just swell with joy? So, how often do you find yourself wanting to share that joy with those around you? How often do you share the amazing things Jesus has done in your life with your neighbours? Today, Pastor Richard is inviting you to spread the good news of the gospel to everyone in your circle. Why not let them embrace that...

James 2:1-14 Part 1 16.05.2026

When you ponder the idea of Jesus in the world, it’s natural to imagine that He must have had an abundance of possessions during His time on earth, don’t you think? Surprisingly, it was the complete opposite! He came into the world as part of a humble family with little to no riches to his name. Today, Pastor Richard shares a beautiful reminder that Jesus entered the world with humility, serving e...

Matthew 14-15 Part 2 15.05.2026

As we walk through this life, we can sometimes see things the wrong way. We read God’s promises in His Word, and yet we can begin to think we are entitled to His blessings simply because we are His children. But in today’s message, Pastor Richard reminds us that what we receive is not something we earn or deserve. It is given by God’s grace. His promises are ours, not because of what we have done,...

Matthew 14-15 Part 1 14.05.2026

When we go through seasons of hardship, we can develop tunnel vision. For many of us, we focus on the bad things in front of us, and we forget that there is someone there who promises to be by our side - someone who promises to guide us through it, and His name is Jesus. That’s why in today’s message, Pastor Richard reminds you that Jesus reveals Himself at the perfect time, and that no matter wha...

Matthew 14 Part 2 13.05.2026

When we look at the life of Jesus, how can we say that God doesn’t love us? He sent His one and only Son to pay the price for our sin, all because of His love. Jesus conquered the grave, and today He offers us His grace. That’s why Pastor Richard encourages you to give your life to Christ, receive Him, and trust in what He has done for you. Jesus died on the cross for all who would believe in Him....

Matthew 14 Part 1 12.05.2026

When we go through seasons of hardship, how many of us are willing to still serve others? Jesus showed us this during His time on earth. Despite the weight He carried, Jesus came not to be served, but to serve. Even in His hardest moments, He never lost sight of His mission. That’s why in today’s message, Pastor Richard encourages us to have the same heart as Christ, loving and serving others even...

Matthew 12:1-13 Part 2 11.05.2026

The Pharisees mocked Jesus for healing a sick man on the Sabbath day. They had no idea that Jesus was, in fact, the very essence of the Sabbath. There are moments when it feels like sticking to the laws in God’s Word is all that counts. But is that really the case? Today, Pastor Richard shares an insightful message about how Jesus embodies the Law Himself. He’s gone above and beyond, following eve...

James 2:1-14 Part 1 10.05.2026

When you ponder the idea of Jesus in the world, it’s natural to imagine that He must have had an abundance of possessions during His time on earth, don’t you think? Surprisingly, it was the complete opposite! He came into the world as part of a humble family with little to no riches to his name. Today, Pastor Richard shares a beautiful reminder that Jesus entered the world with humility, serving e...

James 1:16-27, Mark 3 Part 2 09.05.2026

 At face level, it could be easy to believe that just going to church makes us Christian. That being a nice person is all it takes to get us into God’s good graces. But are we allowing His teachings into our hearts to actually transform us? In today’s message, Pastor Richard tells you the importance of putting what you learn from the Bible into practice and how you can be set apart as a Christian....

Matthew 12:1-13 Part 1 08.05.2026

Have you ever thought about where the Pharisees stumbled in their faith journey? They got so wrapped up in following the rules and sticking to the laws that they totally overlooked the importance of having a relationship with God. It's possible that you're facing the same challenge. In today’s message, Pastor Richard invites you to establish a meaningful relationship with Jesus. He's the only path...

Matthew 11 Part 2 07.05.2026

Despite all the incredible wonders God showed through Moses, Pharaoh remained stubborn, choosing disbelief and hardening his heart. Some people in our generation really remind me of Pharaoh. Some folks just decide to turn a blind eye to Jesus, even when all the evidence points to Him being the Saviour. Hey, are you one of those people? Today, Pastor Richard invites you to open your heart to Jesus....

Matthew 11 Part 1 06.05.2026

Walking in God’s path doesn’t always mean that you get to live a comfortable life. It’s more like going to war with the enemy. You never know when he will strike. Sometimes God even allows certain difficulties in your life, not to harm you, but to help you grow in your faith. Today, Pastor Richard motivates you to faithfully walk with God. His plan for you is the best. Even if difficulties come in...

Matthew 10 Part 2 05.05.2026

When someone decides to enlist in the army, they’re fully aware that the role carries its own set of challenges.

Matthew 10 Part 1 04.05.2026

It’s easy to believe that you can accomplish amazing things for God all by yourself. Let's be real here; it’s clear that you could use a little support. Going solo just won't cut it. Today, Pastor Richard invites you to tap into the incredible power of the Holy Spirit. He’s the one who brings you closer to Jesus and empowers you to share the gospel with those around you. He will guide you in every...

James 1:16-27, Mark 3 Part 2 03.05.2026

 At face level, it could be easy to believe that just going to church makes us Christian. That being a nice person is all it takes to get us into God’s good graces. But are we allowing His teachings into our hearts to actually transform us?

James 1:16-27 Part 1 02.05.2026

It seems almost limitless the number of times we can get mad in a day. From little annoyances and complaints to larger frustrations and arguments, odds are we ALWAYS believe we are in the right. AND that our anger is justified. In fact, we must be doing everyone a favor by pointing out the wrongs in this world! But Pastor Richard tells you today that the wrath of man comes nowhere close to the rig...

Matthew 9 Part 2 01.05.2026

Sometimes, life throws us challenges that feel like they're weighing us down a bit too much. It can leave a deep emotional scar.

Matthew 7:21-29 Part 1 28.04.2026

Starting with a solid foundation is absolutely crucial when building a house. It keeps the house sturdy when nature throws its wildest challenges our way. Just like constructing a sturdy building, creating your life requires a solid foundation too!
