Today, we unravel the deeper layers of the Tenth Commandment and how it radically changed the Apostle Paul's life. Many of us know the commandment "you shall not covet," but have we truly grasped its impact on our hearts? Pastor Colin explores how this commandment reveals our inner struggles and points us towards true contentment found in Christ.

Through Romans 7, we discover Paul's personal transformation and how God's law opened his eyes to the condition of his heart.

In today's message titled "Your Struggle with Truth," we explore the profound statement by Jesus: "I am the light of the world, and whoever follows me will never walk in darkness." But what does it truly mean to follow the light? Pastor Colin dives deep into how translating what we hear into action brings the light of life to us. We learn that Christianity isn't just an academic study but involves a personal engagement and an opening of ourselves to follow Jesus fully.

In this episode, Pastor Colin also shares a thought-provoking story about a student named Sue, who discovers the truth of Jesus through active obedience. We are reminded of the importance of living the truth actively, as believing leads to obeying and, consequently, seeing the transformation in our lives.

Throughout the broadcast, we tackle intriguing concepts such as "truth terrorism," where speaking the truth must always be balanced with love, to avoid causing harm. We're encouraged to embrace authentic faith that doesn't just remain in our heads but translates into visible, loving actions that honour God.

Have you ever wondered what Jesus meant when He called Himself "the truth"? Colin unravels this by reminding us that truth is not merely a construct of our opinions but is deeply rooted in God's character. As we explore Exodus 20:16, we'll see how God's commandments reflect His unwavering truthfulness and challenge us to live the same way.

In this episode titled "Your Struggle for Integrity," Colin explores the Eighth Commandment — "You shall not steal" — and its deep implications for our lives today.

Starting with a sobering reflection on Satan, described as the ultimate taker who steals, kills, and destroys, Colin draws a profound contrast with Jesus Christ, the great giver. He challenges us to examine our hearts — are we givers, like Christ, or are we reflecting the taker characteristic of Satan in our lives?

Colin invites us to consider how we approach work and contribution. Whether paid or unpaid, our work should be approached with a spirit of service, offered as worship to God.

Through this discussion, discover how this commandment challenges our everyday actions and attitudes in areas such as the workplace, family, and even church life. Learn about the profound struggle for integrity that lies at the heart of this biblical commandment and how this concept reaches far beyond simply not taking what isn't yours. With practical examples and biblical insights, this episode encourages us to reflect on our roles as givers rather than takers in various aspects of our lives.

Today's episode tackles the issue of overcoming temptation by cultivating a deep love for Christ, inspired by the seventh commandment. Pastor Colin explores the idea that a new love is stronger than an old habit, encouraging us to replace destructive behaviours with a vibrant, Christ-centred devotion.

Today's message offers a compassionate look at the pressures of maintaining purity in modern society and the importance of keeping promises, both big and small, as exemplified through a touching children's story. The message aims to provide clarity and encouragement for anyone facing struggles in this area.

Today, Pastor Colin helps us explore the age-old commandments and how they relate to our modern struggles, particularly focusing on the commandment “you shall not commit murder.”

He likens murder to trains on a track, urging us to reflect not just on the act itself but on the journeys of anger and conflict that often lead to it. We will explore the subtle moral stations we often stop at—like anger, rudeness, and recklessness—each one drawing us closer to breaking this commandment. It’s a vital reminder that harbouring ill will or inflicting harsh words can be more significant than we might realise.
