Life can often seem like a series of “good news, bad news” scenarios where the good news is not always good. Life often weighs us down.

If you are weighed down with anxiety and worry about the things in your life that are beyond your ability – take heart – as the apostle Peter commands us – "cast all your anxiety on Him, on Jesus, because he cares for you!" And for all of us – let us put Proverbs 12:25 into practice each day. "A good word make him or her glad." Seek to give these words of encouragement each day that lift the broken-hearted.

How much money is enough? What can it truly do for you? How far can it go? In this message, we see how Solomon, the wealthiest King in Israel's history, viewed money - the good and the bad. 

Tune in today to be challenged to correct wrong views you might have of money, and to find a healthy and God-honouring way to use the material blessings God has given you. 

We live in a culture that tells us how important we are; that our opinions should be heard; that our accomplishments need to be recognized. The problem arises when this elevated attitude about ourselves makes us look down on others. The Bible calls this problem pride.

In this message Pastor Win continues our series in the book of Proverbs helping us identify symptoms of pride and how to solve this destructive problem.

Fear is something everyone has dealt with; fear of failure, fear of change, fear of the future. Fear can be an extremely depilating emotion.

The Bible tells us that we need to fear God but in this case fear is not a debilitating emotion but a profound reverence and awe of God.

In this message we learn how to restore our awe of God.

Human beings are far less independent than we would like to believe - as social beings, we are influenced by those we surround ourselves with. And in the time of social media, 50 million people have risen to the ranks of “influencers” in 2023.

How is your life shaped and formed by the voices you allow to speak into your life? 

In this message, we'll gain some wisdom from the Bible about the effect influence has on our lives and how we can navigate it effectively.

Proverbs 23:10-12 gives the reader/believer a confidence booster in our defender and protector, our Kinsman Redeemer.

Proverbs is more than pithy life statements, they carry a spiritual weight that help us understand God, our relationship with Him and with others, challenging us to live wisely not foolishly.

In Proverbs 18:1-8 we see that our words, our speech, and the language we use with others have consequences. Seek godly wisdom in the use of our words and communications!

We live in what has been called a “post-truth” age: a time when objective facts are less influential than emotions or personal beliefs. But if “truth” is only relative to me, then there is no truth. In contrast, Proverbs 3:5,6 tells us how to get wisdom.

In the age we live in, people always look for ways to make life a little easier: AI that helps us write complicated letters, E-bikes that make pedaling less straining, or gas-powered cultivators to save you from the hard yard work.

Yet, many things in life cannot be solved by technological advancements. So, we try to rise above challenges like addiction, brokenness, unforgiveness and pain. But what if you did not have to do it on your own? What if you could have a helper, also for the most challenging things in your life?

In the final part of this series, we see how the all-powerful Holy Spirit wants to empower us so that we don’t have to live powerless lives.
