It is common to assume that what we need to flourish is total freedom to do whatever we want. The reality is humans will always serve someone or something, and it is far better for us to serve God rather than sin. Peter looked at Romans 6:15-23 this morning.

While we rightly emphasize sin and our inability to save ourselves as Christians, sometimes we make the mistake of believing that sin is more powerful than God. We can live like we are alive to sin and dead to God. But in Romans 6, Paul makes it clear that the opposite is true for those who belong to Jesus. John explains.

Very often Christians can be troubled by uncertainty. We have sinned and failed so many times; we start to feel less sure that we are forgiven. In Romans 5 however, Paul makes it abundantly clear that the grace of God is more than enough for us. Peter explains.

The great truths that Paul expounds in the early chapters of Romans don't just leave us unpunished by sin, they lead us into fellowship with the eternal God. Peter continues in Romans 5 today.

In Romans 4 we get a picture of what faith really looks like. Abraham is a model of faith because his faith rests on the promises of God. Peter explains.

This week we continue our series in Romans. It is so instinctive for us to try to justify ourselves to do good work so that God will count us as righteous. Paul explains in Romans 3-4 that this is not the case at all.

The new year can be a helpful time to think through what our priorities are. Especially as Christians we can fall into the trap of living for our jobs, families, interests, without thinking about what is most important to us. Peter spoke from Philippians this morning to consider how we can press forward in 2026.

It is so common for us to be driven by fears and anxieties instead of faith in God. This week we looked at Psalm 27, that helps us with this problem.

As we take a break over the holidays, we often find that true rest is elusive. We stop working, and yet we can find ourselves restless. Psalm 8 was written to shape the affections of the worshippers, as we are reminded again of God's character and care for us in creation. John explains.

There are so many things that can cause us to fear in this world. Fear of failure, of rejection, of disease, of isolation, of spiders, the list goes on. Perhaps the greatest and last fear is the fear of death itself. This morning we looked at Luke 2:1-21, and see Jesus as the solution to our deepest fears. Peter explains.
