From "open wide your hearts," to "do not be yoked," to "godly sorrow brings repentance," Luke Watts shows a single path: love that stays open, holiness that stays loyal, and repentance that stays honest. This is not isolation from the world, but refusing anything that reshapes your worship while embracing community that reshapes you into Christ.

What is shaping you more right now: the influences you’re joined to, or the Jesus you claim to follow?

Luke Watts shares with us from 2 Corinthians 5 and 6 about our call to be ambassadors of Christ. Who is sufficient for such a calling? Those who know the fear of the Lord and are seized by the love of Christ! 

Darren Western teaches us from 2 Corinthians 5 on how to live a hopeful, faithful, and focussed life. The ressurrection life of Jesus works for us here and now and whatever we build in life from reliance on him will last. 

Peter Budimir leads us in a look at 2 Corinthians 3 and how beholding Christ builds our faith. 

Luke Watts shows that resilient faith submits our plans to God’s faithful "Yes" in Christ, refuses Satan’s schemes of deception, division, and destruction, and stays close enough to Jesus to carry the aroma of Christ into the world as we follow Him in His victory procession.

Do your plans show you’re close to Jesus and are shaped by his "Yes," or do they show you’re being driven by comfort and control?

In 2 Corinthians 1:1-11, Luke Watts invites us to start 2026 with resilient faith, showing that God is sufficient in every circumstance; as we face suffering and weakness, His grace, peace, and comfort sustain us, and through shared prayer and reliance on Him, we can endure, grow, and witness His deliverance.

In Matthew 2:13-23, Darren Western walks through Joseph's journey from Bethlehem to Egypt and then to Nazareth, showing how God is at work in moments of sudden change and in long, ordinary seasons, keeping His promises in His Son, Jesus.

As this final message in the "Promised and Expected King" series closes out 2025, what will you pack into 2026 as you trust and follow the King?

In our Christmas 2025 series: Promised and Expected, Luke Watts shows how God's Immanuel promise in Isaiah 7 is first given to Ahaz, a fearful, faithless and evil king, and then fulfilled in Jesus in Matthew 1, God with us who comes to save his people from their sins and release them from their fears.

This Christmas, will you respond to God's promise like Ahaz who refuses to trust, or like Joseph who believes and obeys?

False teaching adds prerequisites to Jesus: a rule, a badge, a barrier. In Galatians 2:11-21, James March warns against "Jesus plus" thinking and points to God’s safeguards: Scripture, prayer, and fellowship that helps us hold the line together.

How will you test what you hear before it tests you?
