What can the story of Jacob teach us about trusting God’s promises? In this sermon from our series on the life of Jacob, we look at Genesis 25:21–34 and the story of Jacob and Esau, discovering what Jacob’s life reveals about God’s grace, faithfulness, and the importance of trusting God rather than trying to control…

When we look at violence, injustice, oppression, and suffering in the world, it’s natural to ask how justice can be achieved. Should we fight evil with greater power? Should Christians seek political influence or use force to create a better world? In this sermon, we explore how Jesus offers a radically different answer. Drawing on…

What does God do when we fail? The story of Peter’s restoration in John 21:1–19 offers a powerful answer: failure does not have to be the end of our story. Peter had confidently promised that he would never abandon Jesus, yet only hours later he denied three times that he even knew him. After Jesus’…

Sometimes the disappointments and hardships we experience can look like evidence that God has abandoned us, when in fact they may be places where God is quietly at work. In Luke 24, two disciples walk away from Jerusalem devastated by Jesus’ death. They had hoped he was the Messiah who would redeem Israel, but his…

What happens when we feel too far from God, too broken, or too ashamed to come back? In the story of Zacchaeus, Jesus shows us that God’s grace is already searching for us, even when we’ve spent our lives running in the opposite direction. Zacchaeus discovers that following Jesus doesn’t begin with proving ourselves worthy,…

We don’t always see people the way God sees them. In Luke 7, Simon the Pharisee sees a sinful woman defined by her past, while Jesus sees someone who has been forgiven and transformed. This story challenges us to reconsider how we judge others, how we evaluate ourselves, and what genuine holiness looks like. Rather…

Pride can be one of the hardest sins to recognize in ourselves, especially when it convinces us that we’re the ones who have everything figured out. In this sermon, we look at the Apostle Paul’s journey from Saul the Pharisee, whose religious pride led him to oppose Jesus, to Paul, who learned to embrace humility…

In this message from our Epic Meltdown series, we explore how fear repeatedly led the apostle Peter to fail, from rebuking Jesus to denying him to remaining silent when the truth needed defending. Yet Peter's story doesn't end in failure. Through God's grace, he learned to trust instead of fear, eventually becoming a courageous leader…

In this sermon, we examine the tragic story of King Solomon, a man who had every advantage God could give yet still lost his way by pursuing the world's definition of success instead of God's. As we explore Solomon's accumulation of wealth, political ambition, idolatry, and oppression, we'll discover how chasing status, security, and power…

We all like to think we're the hero of the story. We want to be right, indispensable, and recognized for what we've accomplished. But Moses' life reveals the danger of making ourselves the centre of God's work. Through three defining moments, we'll discover that true humility isn't thinking less of ourselves, but remembering that Jesus…

Abraham is remembered as one of the Bible's greatest heroes of faith, but his story also includes spectacular failures. In this opening message of our Epic Meltdown series, we'll discover how fear led Abraham to compromise his integrity, hurt the people closest to him, and try to accomplish God's promises through his own schemes. Yet…

In a culture that teaches us to build our own reputation, Jesus calls us to a very different path: humility. In this message from 1 Peter 5:1-10, we'll explore how the way of Christ transforms leadership, relationships, and our life together as the church. Discover why true greatness is found not in power or recognition…
