This is part four of a five part series called Purifying the Heart. In 1 Corinthians 10:9, Paul says, "We must not put Christ to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents." He was referring to a story from Numbers 21, and referencing a temptation that even Jesus had to deal with during His trial against the enemy in the Wilderness.

How might you be putting the Lord to the test? In this message, Ps Jason unpacks what it means to put Christ to the test and challenges us to a life of humble faith.

We live in a sex-saturated culture, but God has called us to reject the world's attitude toward sex and instead submit to God's standard of sexual purity. Here's how to find the way of escape from sexual sin.

Idolatry is at the root of all sin. This is one of the most important truths for us in our journey toward sanctification. If we can discern the idol behind the sin, then we can dethrone the idol, and enthrone Jesus - the only one who can meet the deepest needs of the soul.

Ps Aaron Pryce from Chosen Church joins us to impart the heart of God for reaching our city for Jesus.

Gratitude is a more powerful force than we might realise in our lives. If you want to live free from anxiety, and more importantly, bring honour to God, learn how to live a thankful life.

When we trust in Christ, God declares us righteous. But we're not instantly made perfect in our thoughts, motives, and action. Then begins the process of purifying the heart. The reward - the pure in heart will see God.

Jesus showed up at a multi-day wedding feast with no plans to perform any miracles. He left having brought an immense amount of joy to a covenantal celebration, and in the process, He revealed His glory through a prophetic picture of His death, burial, and resurrection.

The Father desires to give the Holy Spirit to all of His children, but He will never force Himself upon us. He pours out His Spirit freely upon those who strongly desire Him; who ask. We experience a baptism in the Holy Spirit both for spiritual power to live courageously, and also because in the challenges and difficulties of our pursuit of Jesus and His will, we will regularly find ourselves in need of refreshing in His presence. 

Genesis 16:13

She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now sees the One who sees me.”

In Psalm 127, we see Solomon's Song of Ascent in which he shares some of his most significant life wisdom. He teaches us that all human effort is wasted unless God is working behind the scenes, that our trust in God is most clearly revealed in our ability to rest, and that our most important legacy is our children - both natural and spiritual.
