Isaiah 40:7-31 // AI & God // 27 September, 2026
How does the hope of the gospel speak to our uncertainties related to the advent of AI?We learn from this great passage in Isaiah that we will never find a substitute for the sovereign God, no matter how powerful it may be or how much it may disrupt our cultural certainty about what life will be like in the future.
Galatians 6 // Boasting in the Cross // 20 September, 2026
Everyone boasts in something. But for the person who knows the One who loved them and have themself for them there's only one thing worth boasting in.So why is the Cross, the message of Jesus' death and resurrection, the only thing worth boasting in? We turn to this final part of Paul's letter to the Galatians churches to find out.
Galatians 5:16-26 // The Fruit of Freedom // 13 September, 2026
Is growth and progress in the Christian life simply a matter of determination? We know what we need to do and we just need to get on with doing it?What does freedom in Christ look like when it comes to bearing the fruit of the Spirit and becoming more like Jesus? The grace-powered gospel applied in Galatians 5:16-26 might surprise us.

Galatians 4:8-31 // Forsaking Freedom // 30 August, 2026
What if we find ourselves falling back into our old slavish ways of religious rule keeping? The apostle Paul called the Galatians Christians back from going down the path of slavery to religious rule keeping. How then can we be truly free? It begins with being rescued. It entails an ongoing battle, but it results in claiming our ultimate birth rights as children of God by faith in Jesus Christ.
Galatians 3:26-4:7 // Sons not Slaves // 23 August, 2026
How do you know if you belong?Our slavish mentality of thinking we need to try harder and do more in order to be accepted by God can also infect our relationship with God that we share in Christ. But Christ has brought us into a new reality and relationship with God that is defined not by what we do but what the Father has given us. We explore this more in today's passage in Galatians.
Galatians 3:1-25 // Law vs Faith // 16 August, 2026
Who are the true inheritors of God's promises to Abraham?The apostle Paul delves more deeply into the role of God's Old Testament Law and the arrival of its fulfilment in Jesus. Abraham is the key Old Testament figure whose story helps us unpack the relationship between living by law and living by faith in Jesus. Because it's those who have faith in Jesus, the Seed of Abraham, who inhe
Galatians 2:11-21 // Confronting Grace // 9 August, 2026
How do we know if we're living in line with the truth of the gospel of grace?In this last part of Paul's autobiographical section of his letter we see how the gospel of God's grace confronts and corrects all of us, from church leadership down, when we fall to social pressures to step out of line from the truth of the gospel. The key is a personal relationship with the One "who lov
Galatians 1:11-2:10 // The Authentic Gospel // 2 August 2026
How do we know we have the right gospel?God himself authenticated his gospel to, in and through Saul of Tarsus, once persecutor of the church, whom the risen Jesus converted and called to be the apostle Paul, to preach the gospel and grow God's church! It was not the church which authenticated the gospel but the gospel which authenticated the church's unity and integrity on mission.
Galatians 1:1-10 // No Other Gospel // 26 July, 2026
What unique and powerful ingredient lies at the heart of the Christian message? Grace.In these opening verses of Galatians the apostle Paul introduces us to the main themes of his letter and describes the centrality of grace to the Christian gospel.
John 14:1-6 // Housing // 19 July, 2026
How does hope in Jesus speak to our worries and anxieties about housing and the question of whether we, or the generations following us, will ever afford our own place to live?In John 14 Jesus teaches us that what he has in store for all who trust in him far outweighs the biggest earthly mansion and is secure in eternity with God. We need to let the ultimate impact the immediate when it comes to o
Revelation 21:1-8 // Loneliness // 5 July 2026
What hope does the gospel provide for us when we're worried about, or experiencing, the pain of loneliness?In the book of Revelation Jesus Christ meets John in the obscurity and isolation of exile and gives him a glorious vision of eternity with God, in God's place, enjoying God's presence in pure joy.Equipped with this vision, disciples of Jesus are able to trust in the God who dwells
2 Corinthians 9:6-15 // Giving Cheerfully // 28 June, 2026
As disciples of Jesus we want God's church to grow, we want the kingdom to grow, we want more people to hear and receive the good news of Jesus. But we may not know that such gospel ministry requires partnership and the stewardship of all our resources; not just time and talents, but our treasure (money) as well.But why and how can disciples of Jesus give cheerfully, and not out of a sense of
1 Timothy 6:6-10, 17-19 // Giving Generously // 21 June, 2026
Why are disciples of Jesus encouraged, even urged, to be generous?Here in 1 Timothy chapter 6 we find the motivation for biblical generosity and the meaning behind it. Within the command to be generous we also find the surprising invitation to enjoy the gifts God gives us and the truth that selfishness is poverty but generosity is true wealth.
Exodus 15:1-21 // The LORD reigns // 7 June, 2026
What makes your heart sing?For people who know they have been rescued from slavery by a mighty Redeemer it's their newfound salvation that makes their hearts sing for joy.It's for good reason that the first thing the Israelites do following the extraordinary crossing of the Red Sea and destruction of their oppressors is to break out in praise to their warrior God who has fought for them an
Exodus 13:17-14:31 // The LORD delivers // 31 May, 2026
Do you feel more like a soldier or a slave?The parting of the Red Sea is perhaps a well known episode in the Exodus narrative, of the LORD's deliverance of his people from slavery under Pharaoh to serve Him, the true and living God. But as we delve more deeply into the narrative we begin to see how while they left Egypt feeling like soldiers they were still escaping their life as slaves. The R
Exodus 12:1-13:16 // The LORD redeems // 24 May, 2026
Off the back of last week's nine signs and wonders against Egypt we would be tempted to think the greatest barrier to freedom for the Israelites was an earthly despotic dictator, poverty or oppression.But chapters 12-13 of Exodus show us that the greatest threat to Israel's freedom was the sin that would need to be dealt with if they were to enjoy the life with the just and holy Creator. T
Exodus 7-11 // The LORD conquers // 17 May, 2026
Have you ever wanted God to send you a sign? What if he sent you not one but multiple signs?This was the case for Pharaoh in Exodus 7-11. But he got the signs he wasn't looking for as he came up against the mighty creator and redeemer, Yahweh.Ultimately, the signs and wonders we see here in Exodus 7-11 forewarn us of the final coming judgment. But they also signal this almighty creator is on m
Exodus 5:1-7:7 // The LORD remembers // 10 May, 2026
Do we know God as he really is, in all his power and glory?Moses and Aaron's first encounter with Pharaoh seems to make matters worse before they get better. Their preparation is instructive for us. But central to the story is the revelation of God's character, that he's faithful to his promises which entail rescuing his people from slavery.
Exodus 3-4 // The LORD appears // 3 May, 2026
How do we know if we are being called by God? What does God's calling entail? What signs accompany his calling?In Exodus 3-4 we see the LORD call Moses. His calling is accompanied by signs. Moses's calling and accompanying signs were given to assure his people of the salvation he was about to perform. Ultimately, Moses's calling, signs and promised salvation lead us to Christ, whom the Father sent
Matthew 6:19-34 // Financial security
Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6:19-34 strangely and yet profoundly applies to our sense of financial security.Out of our insecurity we search for treasure on earth in danger of being enslaved to Wealth. Even when we think we’re mastering our money, Wealth has a way of mastering us.But Jesus has come to liberate us from chasing earthly treasure by giving himself up for us and sharing with us the etern
Haggai 2:20-23 // The Lord's stable and certain plan
Haggai 2:20-23 tells us about the Lord’s stable and certain plan to overturn all earthly power and establish the everlasting reign of his Son.This unique and wonderful message can be easily underappreciated, forgotten or misunderstood.But it is as we remember and immerse ourselves in this message that we find it immediately relevant and of practical benefit each and every day.Whenever we encounter
