This week we enter the darkest chapter so far: Judah’s fall and the Babylonian exile. We trace the history that led there, then pause to hear the raw voices of suffering: Jeremiah’s Lamentations and the captives’ song in Psalm 137. Yet even here, God plants seeds of hope: Jeremiah 29’s call to build, plant, and seek the city’s good, and Lamentations 3’s quiet courage. Finally, we look to Jesus—the Man of Sorrows—who meets us in gri...
Today we turn south to Judah, where the core question is: "Where is God worshiped?" In the battle between Temple and the spread of high places, we follow reformers Hezekiah and Josiah and the tragic tipping point under Manasseh that seals judgment. Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Micah expose how false worship breeds injustice and calls God’s people back to justice, mercy, and humble obedience. We end by asking what our modern high...
Due to technical issues, sermon 10 "Kings" in this series was not recorded.
After the death of Solomon the nation of Israel divides in two! In today's sermon, we focus in on the Northern Kingdom. Breaking away from the dynasty of David, we learn about their kings and the power plays—and assassinations—that runs through the history of this nation. But we mainly focus on the worship of the Golden Calf, the state religio...
In Judges, Israel flourishes when faithful to God but falls into oppression when chasing idols. Today we track the cycle of faith to faithlessness to judgement to salvation and back to faith through the lives of the six Judges raised to save the nation. And we look at the frailty of human saviours in the light of the only one who brings lasting salvation and breaks the cycle — Jesus.

The promise of land is realised in the conquests under Joshua, as Israel takes possession of Canaan. These stories celebrate God’s faithfulness in fulfilling His word, yet they also confront us with the troubling reality of the destruction of whole peoples. As Christians today, how are we to read and wrestle with these accounts of promise and conquest?

God's promise to Abraham took over 400 years to begin to look secure. We trace the story of the children of Abraham and their struggle to see this call become a reality. We finish by considering the question, "Why does God build struggle into His plans for us?"

Genesis 4–11 shows God addressing sin with marks, floods, and scattered nations…yet none could fix the problem. In Genesis 12, God shifts: not judgment, but covenant promise and commitment.
