#81 - Adopting an Eternal Mindset - Luke 20:20-26

It's easy to become obsessed with what's happening now and lose sight of what's happening forever. 

#68 - Do The Right Thing. Why Morality Matters. Don’t Lie.

We know we shouldn't, but we have all lied at some point. Maybe we lied to avoid trouble or to advantage ourselves in some way, but the 9th commandment tells us not to lie. Unfortunately, lies come with heavy consequences for ourselves and our society. This week we'll be talking about some reasons we shouldn't lie and the consequences of what happens when we do.

#80 - What’s in Your Hand? - Part2

The Apostle Paul spoke about the friction between God’s will and his own will. That friction is a reality for every Christian. This week in our series, “What’s in Your Hand”, we look at the life of King David, a man after God’s own heart, and the struggles he faced as a servant of God.

#79 - What’s in Your Hand - Part 1

What qualifications are required to serve God? When we look at many of the more well-known characters in the Bible, the answer would be “not much”. However, there are a few things great servants of God tend to share in common.

#72 - Kings, Scribes and Wise Men

It's easy to hear a story so many times that we stop hearing it in such a way that it might address who we are. The principles never change, but sometimes we just stop paying attention. Let's shine some light on the Ancient Christmas Narrative. 

#71 - Jingle Bell Nah!

Remember the excitement you felt as a child as Christmas approached? As you get older and life inevitably happens, it’s easy to lose the excitement and wonder of Christmas. This week we ponder some things that may help with that.

#70 - Chri$tma$ Genero$ity

Many charities conduct fundraising campaigns around Christmas because people are more generous. Both non-church and churchy people tend to be more relaxed with their wallets. So are Christian giving and humanitarian generosity the same thing, or is there a difference between the two? How about the difference between generosity and sacrificial worship?

#69 - Do The Right Thing. Why Morality Matters. Pride.

We use the word pride in both positive and negative contexts. In a negative context, pride attributes honour where it isn't due. The Bible speaks about pride in a negative context a lot. That's because pride sets us on a collision course with destruction; unfortunately, the two are inseparable.

#67 - Do The Right Thing. Why Morality Matters: Respect your Elders.

Imagine the thing that you desire most in the world. Solomon says wisdom is more valuable than that, and you should "Get wisdom". You can get it the hard way through a lifetime of difficult experiences, or the easy way, respect your elders and listen to what they have to say.

#66 - Tis’ the season to be anxious and depressed.

It's that time of year when we eat, drink, spend too much, and have more debt to look forward to in the New Year. Some people love the holiday season, others not so much. This is for you if you are struggling with anxiety or depression.
