WHAT ARE YOU REALLY WORSHIPPING? Video 18.10.2026 18:44 ↓

What does it mean to truly choose faith, not just inherit it? This message takes us back to a pivotal moment in Israel's history, when Joshua gathered the people at Shechem, the very place where God first made promises to Abraham, and called them to renew their covenant with God. The central insight here is striking and counter-cultural: before Joshua asks anything of the people, he reminds them o...

The Ten Commandments Video 11.10.2026 22:52 ↓

What happens when two of the most foundational concepts in the Christian life — the Ten Commandments and stewardship — are brought into the same conversation? It turns out, quite a lot. This message invites us to rethink everything we thought we knew about both. The Ten Commandments, given to a people freshly delivered from slavery, were never meant to be a heavy-handed list of restrictions. They...

Joseph in Prison Video 27.09.2026 17:31 ↓

What do we do when life pushes us down, when the people closest to us betray us, or when circumstances seem to work against everything we hoped for? The story of Joseph in Genesis offers a stunning answer. Sold into slavery by his own brothers, falsely accused, and forgotten in prison, Joseph experienced wave after wave of human unfaithfulness. Yet woven through every low point is a remarkable ref...

Noah and the Ark Video 13.09.2026 21:05 ↓

What does it mean that God remembers us? In the story of Noah and the flood found in Genesis 6, 8, and 9, we encounter a God who is not simply angry at human corruption but genuinely heartbroken by it. The flood narrative is far more than a children's tale about animals on a boat. It is a profound and sometimes unsettling story about the consequences of human violence, the grief of a Creator watch...

The New Testament Video 06.09.2026 22:01 ↓

What if the entire New Testament could be understood through a single lens? From the opening words of Matthew's genealogy tracing back to Abraham, to the final vision of a new heaven and new earth in Revelation, the New Testament tells one continuous story: God relentlessly pursuing humanity with love, grace, and redemption. We explore how the four Gospels each present a distinct portrait of Jesus...

The Old Testament Video 30.08.2026 27:47 ↓

From the very first words of Genesis to the silence that fell after the last prophet spoke, the Old Testament tells a story that is not just ancient history — it is our story. At its heart is a pattern that repeats itself with striking consistency: God reaches out in love and covenant, we turn away, and God, in relentless grace, calls us back. We see it in the garden, where one broken rule shatter...

WHY ARE YOU CRYING? Video 23.08.2026 24:45 ↓

What does it mean to encounter the risen Christ in the middle of our deepest grief? This Easter message draws us into the garden tomb alongside Mary Magdalene, where her tears, confusion, and despair become the very setting for one of the most profound moments in all of Scripture. At the heart of this message is John 20, where Mary comes expecting death and finds life standing right in front of he...
