Equipping Christians for Life
God often works in the seemingly mundane things of everyday life.
The 1st in our "Guest Series" is a talk with Dr Darvie Fenison. A long-time pastor, friend and mentor.
It's easy to become obsessed with what's happening now and lose sight of what's happening forever.
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.
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.
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.
We often struggle to trust people. This is probably because, as people, our acts are often motivated by selfish desires. This lack of trust can transfer over to how we relate to God. We need to understand that God is not motivated by selfish desires but by self-sacrificial love. This makes Him completely trustworthy.

Wrath, judgement, charity, grace, religion and relationship. Finding the right balance between those things can be a real challenge. What matters most to God, and how does He want his followers to act on that? "The Prodigal Prophet: Jonah and the Mystery of God's Mercy" by Timothy Keller was a great resource in building this series.
We may think we are doing what is right and good and still find that what we think is good doesn't line up with what God says is good. God often uses difficult circumstances to help us work that out. "The Prodigal Prophet: Jonah and the Mystery of God's Mercy" by Timothy Keller was a great resource in building this series.
Jonah both fears and hates the Ninevites. He is running from what God wants him to do, but there is more to it than just fear or hate. What is most important to Jonah determines which direction he travels. "The Prodigal Prophet: Jonah and the Mystery of God's Mercy" by Timothy Keller was a great resource in building this series.
We all know about Jonah, the prophet who ran from God and was swallowed by a whale, but do you know why Jonah ran? He had some pretty good reasons. We all share some things in common with Jonah. "The Prodigal Prophet: Jonah and the Mystery of God's Mercy" by Timothy Keller was a great resource in building this series.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
This week we are talking about sexual morality. Sex is often treated as casual and inconsequential, but there's more to it than that, a lot more. Where and how should sex fit into our modern culture? How our culture views sex has the potential to benefit or harm you, your marriage and even society as a whole. What do you say if your partner asks you to move in together? Should you get married first? Does it even matter, or is marri...
