Romans 16:1-24 || Greetings and False Teachers
Paul has some final greetings which we can learn some points from. And as with every church in the letters the subject of false teachers is mentioned which we need to be weary of. Ps Matt shares what this means for us and how we can notice this.
Romans 15:1-7 || Unity in the Spirit
We are called to focus not on ourselves, but to build up our brothers and sisters in Christ, with a Spirit-filled unity.
Rest in Jesus || Jesus is Better: Do Not Harden Your Heart
Hebrews 13
We are called to trust is Jesus, not only Today, but on all days. "For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end." - Hebrews 3:14
Rest in Jesus || Strength for God's People
Isaiah 40:9-31
As we reset for the new year, the prophet Isaiah reminds us to rest in Jesus, for he is mighty, kind and gives us strength!
Advent 2022 || Life in Abundance
John 10:10 shares the words of Jesus - The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
The term “abundantly” is often misrepresented or misunderstood, meaning nothing about money or success. We discuss what Jesus does mean by His promise.
Romans 14 || Love and Conscience
Where the application of conscience applies, and where it does not. How to we love one another where we disagree? We are called to be tolerant of others where there is no conflict with the Gospel, in a matter of conscience.
Romans 13:1-7 || Submission to Authority
The Bible calls us to submit to God's authority, but also to earthly authority. Romans 13:1-7 unpacks the circumstances where this should be applicable to our lives as Christians in this world. Applicable now more than ever, we can rest on God's Word, which is unchanging and true, forever.

Reset/Refocus || #4 Ask
1 John 5:12-15
Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life. And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.
Reset/Refocus || #2 Assemble

It is by God's design that we need each other!

Who are God’s people?
Humility Before God
1 Corinthians 1
The Gospel is such that it purposefully prevents humans from boasting.
Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord
