Trusting God with justice (1 Samuel 24)

When we're wronged, our gut reaction is often to take revenge or to seek justice. But as followers of Jesus, we're called to trust God to bring justice in His time and His way.

Samuel 17

The heart of leadership (1 Samuel 16)

The most important leadership qualities are unseen. God's not fussed with outward appearances, he looks at the heart.

Who decides what's best for me? (1 Samuel 15)

As King Saul fails to follow through with what God wants, we see that his heart remains distant from the Lord. He has subscribed to the lie that he is in charge of his life.

God's grace in our failure (1 Samuel 11-12)

As Israel reject God as King, He shows them mercy in the moment. But their choice, as always, has a consequence.

The Ark (1 Samuel 4-7)

The Ark confronts us with the question: Who can stand before a Holy God? The Ark points us to Jesus and our great need for Him.

The Search for a Good and Trustworthy Leader (1 Samuel 2:12-3:21)

Humanity is in an endless cycle of searching for leaders. Political, religious, global. Someone who can be trusted to deliver on what they promise. Someone who is good and wants the ultimate good for others. Our passage gives us a handful of what God wants in His coming Leader; Jesus.

1 Samuel 1:1-2:11

Listen in as Michael Dasey kicks off our new series on 1 Samuel.

Going Deep - Prayerfully Dependent & Relationally Honest (James 5:13-20)

James wraps up his letter in a very James way. Pushing hard into what it means to be the church. He isn't satisfied with God's people being surface-level in their spirituality - he wants them to go deeper because that's where all the good stuff happens.

Good Friday (Romans 5:6-11)

The Cross of Christ was both the worst and best thing that ever happened. To fully understand the beauty of the cross, we need to understand it in light of it's dark background. What did the Cross achieve for us?

James 2:14-26

Don't show favouritism (James 2:1-13)

God has all sorts of souls that make up His church. Part of loving each other well is treating each other as He sees us. Every soul has equal value as an image-bearer of the Creator. Come and have a heart check as James hits up this issue in the early church.

Quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger (James 1:19-27)

What's an indicator that our faith is genuine? James reckons it's our response to God's Word. How receptive we are to it, whether we 'hear' and 'do' what it says, and whether it's transforming our lives in the everyday.

How to handle temptation (James 1:12-18)

Trials often lead to temptations. How can we resist them when they come? And what should we do when we cave in?

One of the best promises in the Bible! (James 1:1-12)

As believers navigate through the trials and challenges of life, God provides all we need. James writes to change the perspective of the early Christians and exhorts them to live a crown-worthy life.

Loving those who don't know Jesus yet (2 Corinthians 5:10-6:2)

One of the most loving (and awkward) things we can do is point others to Jesus. Here are 4 good reasons to push through the awkward and to have a crack.

Love One Another (1 John 4:7-21)

The command is so clear and simple. So why is it so hard? And how can we do it?

Summer Lovin' - Our Love For God (Matthew 22:34-40)

Sometimes, our relationship with God can feel a little distant or abstract. Jesus modelled for us what an all-encompassing, intimate, and obedient love towards God looks like. Come and check out how 2025 can be a year where you grow in your love for God.

How will you move FORWARD in 2025? (Revelation 22:1-21)

Certainty is the new...sexy (Revelation 19:1-21)

In an uncertain world, certainty is attractive. Somethings we can never be certain about, but God says there are some things we can be very sure of. It's these things that need to shape our life. Come and check out what John sees that has encouraged the saints for millennia!

The Prostitute City (Revelation 17:1-18:24)

There are very real dark forces at work in our world, all working together to destroy us. When Jesus returns, He will ultimately triumph over them all, but in the meantime, we're still living in the battle zone. Sometimes the battle is obvious, but other times it's very subtle and seductive.

7 Bowls of Wrath (Revelation 15-16)

God's judgement will be full and complete. And surprisingly, it will be a cause for celebration.

3 Angels of Warning and the Harvest to come (Rev 14:6-20)

God, in His grace, continues to give humanity warning after warning after warning. The problem is - we aren't so good at taking warnings seriously. But John sees a vision of the consequences of those who heed the warnings and those who don't.

The Beast of the Earth & The Lamb (Revelation 13:11-14:5)

Followers of Jesus have a foot in two realities: an earthly one and a redeemed one. Through John's vision, Jesus reminds his people to be wise as they navigate the first and to be assured of their salvation as they hold to the second.

Revelation 13:1-10

Listen in as Michael Dasey takes us through Revelation 13. Please accept our apologies, the first part of the talk got cut off.

The Woman, the Child, and the Dragon (Revelation 12:1-17)

Ever feel like following Jesus is a battle? Having doubts, failing in reading the Bible and praying regularly, entangled with sin? It can be exhausting. One of the reasons that the normal Christian life is like this is because the Devil hates your guts—big time. But come and check out the protection that God has for His people through all time.
