August 09, 2026A Call to CovenantWe tend to hear the Ten Commandments as a courtroom: rules to keep, or rules you've broken. But that's not how they were given. Before God says a single "you shall," he reminds Israel of a rescue already accomplished. In this sermon, we look at Deuteronomy 5 and ask what changes when we read the Ten Words not as a ladder to climb but as wisdom for a people already loved, and what it costs God to keep covenant with people who can't keep their side of it....more50minPlay
August 02, 2026A Call to ObedienceEveryone worships something, you just might not call it worship. In this message from Deuteronomy 4, we ask why an ancient warning against idol-worship might be the sharpest diagnosis of modern life you've never heard: why the things we build our identity on always let us down, and why a "jealous God" might actually be the most loving thing about him. If you've ever wondered why exclusive claims about God feel intolerant this message flips that question on its head....more37minPlay
July 26, 2026A Call to Trust - Deut 1Forty years after fleeing slavery in Egypt, God's people stood on the edge of everything they'd been promised and chose fear over trust. In this message, we trace three ways ancient Israel let doubt curdle into disobedience, and what it looks like to trust a God who's already proven He'll carry us through our own giants. Because the same God who parted seas and led with fire by night is still asking: will you believe He's for you, even when the evidence feels stacked against you?...more34minPlay
July 19, 2026How to Grasp and Know GodToday we will be diving into Paul's letter to the Ephesians, prompting us to ask ourselves, what does our heart desire when we wonder? Do we ever wonder about God? Through Ephesians 3: 16-21, Paul is encouraging us to ask God for the ability to grasp and know him. ...more42minPlay
July 12, 2026Faithful Work, Loving Deeds, Enduring HopeMost of our prayers are focused on the next day or week, but what would it look like for our prayers to be shaped by eternity?In 1 Thessalonians, the Apostle Paul models a radically different posture for our prayer lives. Instead of focusing inward on immediate comforts, Paul challenges us to widen the angle and shift our focus outward, to relentlessly lifting up others in prayer and anchoring our hearts in the future return of Christ....more30minPlay
July 05, 2026Enlightened EyesJacqui shares Paul's prayer from Ephesians 1:15-23 - a prayer that God would enlighten the eyes of our heart to know him and to know the hope, inheritance and resurrection power of Christ that is ours too. ...more47minPlay
June 28, 2026A Foundation for GratitudeMost of our prayers orbit our own lives; jobs, health, the small stuff. But the Apostle Paul prayed for a church he'd never met, and what he asked for wasn't comfort or circumstances, it was knowledge! In this message from Colossians 1, we learn to pray with a wider lens: kingdom-shaped prayers that don't just change what we ask for, but slowly change the people we're becoming....more38minPlay
June 21, 2026Tithing is TrustingMoney reveals what we actually trust. In this talk from 2 Corinthians 9, Matt explores why consistent, gospel-motivated generosity isn't a financial strategy, it's an act of faith that grows our trust in God as our ultimate provider. When we give, we're not just being obedient, we're training our hearts to rest in Him....more46minPlay
June 14, 2026The Comparison TrapWe all know the feeling: someone else has what we want, and the maths just doesn't add up. This week, Ps. Matt opens up Psalm 73, where the ancient songwriter Asaph wrestles with the same comparison trap we scroll into every day, and nearly loses his faith over it. A message about how a shift in perspective can turn envy into worship, and why God might just be enough after all....more34minPlay
June 07, 2026Reframing the Cost of Living CrisisIn this week's message, we're taken to the Sermon on the Mount to reframe the cost of living crisis; not as a financial problem, but as a test of faith. The antidote to anxiety isn't a better budget or a higher salary, but a rightly ordered life that seeks God's kingdom first. A message about letting go of the need for certainty, and learning to trust the one who already knows....more47minPlay
