In this message, we explore Paul’s sharp turn from exposing the sins of the Gentiles in Romans 1 to confronting the judgmental attitudes of the Jews in Romans 2. Assumptions, hypocrisy, and self-righteousness erode community, but the gospel frees us from judgment and leads us into kindness. Discover how God’s kindness - not condemnation - draws us to repentance and creates a culture of grace in our homes, churches, and workplaces.

From the beginning, God has been building a family in the earth. The gospel not only restores us to relationship with God, but heals our hearts and delivers us from the curse of lonliness. The church that Jesus is building is a family, but we must resist the temptation to isolate ourselves.

In Ephesians 2, Paul says that through the finished work of Christ every dividing wall of hostility between God's people has been torn down. That means there's no place in the Body of Christ for ethnic prejudice or racism, classism or economic segregation, cultural elitism, tribal church pride, bitternness, unforgiveness, judgement, or isolation. Here are five ways the gospel makes our relationships stronger.

Our struggle against sin is evidence that the Holy Spirit is working in our hearts. If we didn't care to please God, we would indulge the flesh without temptation. If we didn't feel bad about our sin, it would be evidence of a hard heart. But if we've truly been made new, why do we still sometimes sin? In this message, we look at the relationship between our new nature in Christ and our ongoing battle against the passions and desires of the flesh.

Fasting is one of the most under-utilised gifts to Christians. It's not a discipline reserved for a select few, but a practice that Jesus expects every one of His followers to engage in. Not only does it provide access to greater spiritual power, but it positions us for closer friendship with God.

With many stories from her own life, Ps Olivia shares seven ways that Christ is formed in the life of a believer.

This week we unpack how pride fuels our performance-based identities, and uncover some practical ways to identify pride. As we trust more in Christ's finished work, and embrace who we are in Christ, we are set free to live with humility. 

One of our core values is Gospel Over Performance. After Adam and Eve rejected God's rule and ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they realised they were naked and felt shame. Their response was to sew fig leaves together to cover their nakedness. This is a picture of the default tendency of every person's heart to try to cover their shame through performance-based righteousness. God's response provides a much more enduring solution. In this message, Ps Jason explores how the gospel is not only the message that saves us, but also the truth that makes us more like Christ.

When Adam and Eve rebelled against God and ate from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, they realised that they were naked and ashamed, and they sought to hide from God. The law of sin and death subjects us to guilt and shame. But in Christ, we are set free from an old identity shaped by warped self-assessment. 

When the idol of money has been dethroned, the windows of heaven open, and we can experience the abundant life God has for us. In this message, we look at the theology of abundance, the mindset of abundance, and the practices of abundance. This is the third and final message in the Jesus Over Money series.
