  Tuning In: The Bible Disconnect 14.06.2026 38m

  We’ve often been taught that the Bible is God’s voice. If we truly believed that, why is it so hard for us to read it on a consistent basis?

Today we explore the disconnect, and examine how a perspective change on the Word of God might actually help us appreciate it and turn to it more often.

  Romans 8: No Separation 24.05.2026 36m

  We’ve reached the end of our series on the chapter of Romans 8 and it’s time to add the final ingredient to our theological sandwich. Paul begins this chapter with the idea that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ, and ends with the profound promise that there is no separation from the love of God. We are held securely in His hands, never to be taken away. Paul was convinced of this truth, but many of us wrestle to believe it, especially when trouble, hardship, suffering, and fear make God feel distant. Today, we’ll discover why the love of Christ is stronger than anything that threatens to separate us.

  Romans 8: God is for Us 17.05.2026 38m

Romans 8 will show us that the charges may be real, but they are no longer relevant because the verdict has been handed out and the punishment paid by Jesus. This passage will compel us to live in light of the case being closed, and our lives being transformed by divine favour.
