Passage: Various

--

This sermon explores how Christians should approach wealth in 2025. It emphasises that all wealth originates from God and should be viewed as a gift to be stewarded wisely. The sermon challenges the cultural narrative that ties personal worth to financial status, instead pointing to the gospel as the ultimate source of value. It encourages believers to practice generosity as a response to God's generosity in salvation and to use their wealth for God's purposes rather than for personal security or comfort.

Where is God when we hit rock bottom? In this message inspired by Ray Ortlund’s 'Good News for Rock Bottom' and his exposition of Isaiah 57:15, we discover a holy God who not only reigns in the highest heavens but also draws near to revive the crushed and lowly. This is deep comfort for the betrayed, the trapped, the lonely, and the dying. Hope meets us in the depths.

In this sermon, we trace the search for a Saviour through genealogies, land in the stunning promise of blessing to all nations through Abram, and respond with faith like his. Jesus is the true and better fulfilment of every promise — the one who crushes the serpent, gathers the nations, and blesses the world.

Can we build heaven on earth without God? In Genesis 11:1–9, humanity unites to reach for greatness apart from their Creator. This sermon explores the timeless pattern of pride—from Babel to Silicon Valley—and the surprising mercy of a God who comes down. It all points forward to Pentecost, where God comes down again, not to scatter, but to gather a people for Himself.

The story of Noah is a sobering account of judgment by flood, but also a story of grace. In this talk, we explore the spreading of sin, the weight of divine justice, and the mercy of a God who still makes a way. Jesus is the true and better ark, the one who carries us through the storm and into new creation.

Sin has consequences—but even in the dust, hope remains. In this talk, we explore the curse declared, the grace of God in providing a covering, the spreading reality of sin, and the flickers of hope that point us forward to Jesus, the serpent-crusher who covers our shame and restores us to God.

This sermon explores the tragic entry of sin into the world through the fall of Adam and Eve—and how that moment continues to shape our lives today. But even in the midst of rebellion, we glimpse God’s grace. Far from being just a story of shame and hiding, this chapter reveals a God who seeks sinners and offers refuge in Christ. Lay down your fig leaves and find your life hidden in Him.
