As we begin our Advent series, Pastor Keith takes us into Luke 1—a chapter filled with waiting, wondering, and the God who hears His people. From Zechariah and Elizabeth’s long-held prayers to Mary’s humble faith, this passage reminds us that God’s timing is perfect, His promises are sure, and no prayer offered in faith is forgotten. A message of hope for every season of waiting.

In Nehemiah 2, Pastor Israel unpacks Nehemiah’s God-centred approach to leadership and decision-making. From heartfelt prayer, to careful investigation, to wise persuasion, this chapter shows how Godly influence is exercised with humility, courage, and dependence on the Lord. A timely reminder that spiritual work requires spiritual preparation—and that God opens doors for those who seek Him first.

Daniel 8 gives a sweeping prophetic vision that can easily stir questions and even fear. In this message, Pastor Keith explores how God reveals the future not to frighten His people, but to remind us that He is sovereign over history, nations, and every moment still to come. Scripture calls us to live with confidence—not in ourselves, but in the God who holds the future securely in His hands.

In this special Thanksgiving message, Pastor Keith explores the story of the ten lepers and the one who returned to give thanks. This powerful passage reminds us of the life-changing impact of gratitude, the importance of recognising God’s mercy, and the blessing that comes when we return to Jesus with thankful hearts.

Pastor Israel begins a new series in the Book of Nehemiah with a powerful look at how God meets us in seasons of heartbreak and burden. Nehemiah’s response to devastating news—prayer, humility, and seeking God’s will—shows us how the Lord uses brokenness to build His purposes. When the walls fall, God begins His work in the heart.

Pastor Keith unpacks Daniel’s prophetic vision in Chapter 7—revealing the stark contrast between the rise and fall of earthly kingdoms and the everlasting rule of God’s Kingdom. This chapter lifts our eyes beyond the chaos of the world to the sovereignty of the Ancient of Days and the triumph of the Son of Man. A vital reminder of who truly reigns.

In this message, Pastor Keith explains the true heart of Jesus’ parable—the sharp contrast between the helpless widow and God’s chosen people, and between the unjust judge and our loving, righteous Father. Jesus reminds us that if even an unjust judge can be moved, *how much more* will our gracious God respond to His elect who cry out to Him day and night. This parable isn’t about wearing God down, but trusting His character, His justice, and His perfect timing.
