• Family fallout 21.06.2026 33λ

  In this message, Pastor Duncan explores the devastating ripple effects of unchecked sin through the lives of King David, Amnon, Tamar, and Absalom. What happens when sin is left unchecked, leaders remain silent, and bitterness is allowed to grow.

• David’s sin. God’s grace 07.06.2026 41λ

  2 Samuel 11 describes David’s sin and how far David has fallen from being a man after God’s own heart. It also shows however that God’s grace is big enough for the sinner but also for those sinned against. (Trigger warning as this message touches on issues of sexual violence and assault. )
• A seat at the King’s table 31.05.2026 39λ

  2 Samuel 9 is one of the clearest pictures of God's grace in the Old Testament. Mephibosheth, a broken and forgotten descendant of Saul, expects judgement from King David but instead receives kindness, restoration, provision, and a permanent place at the king's table. As we explore this chapter together, we'll see how David's treatment of Mephibosheth points to God's amazing grace toward us through Jesus Christ.
• The Kingdom of God against the kingdom of darkness 17.05.2026 47λ

  David’s victories in 2 Samuel 8 and 10 show God’s promise being fulfilled through His appointed king, but they also point to the greater victory of Jesus, who came to defeat sin, death, and the devil and restore God’s kingdom of justice and righteousness.Today, we do not fight with violence, but respond by surrendering to Jesus, trusting God’s grace, sharing the gospel, loving our enemies, and waging spiritual war through prayer.John 3:17–18, Revelation 19:11
• The Son of David 10.05.2026 49λ

  At the start of our 2 Samuel series, Pastor Pete introduces the transition from Saul’s downfall to David’s rise as part of God’s unfolding plan. He highlights three themes: God brings people down in His timing, people often cling to what they know is no longer right, and God raises people up in His perfect timing – ultimately pointing to Jesus as the true King.

• Seven statements from the Cross 20.04.2025 29λ

• Last at the Cross, first at the tomb 17.04.2022 36λ

  This Easter, we remember Mary Magdalene’s devotion to Jesus. She was the last at the Cross, and the first at the tomb – and as a result, the first to witness the resurrected Christ, the first to see and to hear Him, and the one chosen to announce the good news to His apostles.
• The Revelation 19.04.2026 30λ

  The early church grew rapidly, but not easily. They faced pressure from the culture around them, the pull of their own sinful nature, and the reality of persecution. Some compromised, but many endured, holding fast to Christ, even at great cost. Jesus’ words in Revelation call the church to stay faithful, anchoring them in the reality that history is moving toward Him. We live with that same hope - Christ will return, all things will be made new and until then, we pray, Come, Lord Jesus.
