Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven…” This Sunday, we explore the sobering words of Jesus in Matthew 7:21-23. We’ll examine why some religious people whose good works in life were exemplary will nevertheless be turned away on the Day of Judgment.

What happens when we realise just how serious our sin is? How should we respond to our guilt? What does genuine repentance look like? And is restoration really possible after a terrible fall?

What does it mean to live wisely? Proverbs introduces us to a wisdom that begins not with cleverness or experience, but with the fear of the Lord. In Proverbs 1:1-7, we discover what biblical wisdom is, who needs it, and why humility before God is the foundation for a life well lived.
