  Why Did Jesus Speak to the Disciples First? 16.09.2026 39min

  We often overlook introductory verses, but we must remember that there is nothing in the Bible that is there without a purpose. Today, we take a closer look at the context and approach of the famous ‘Sermon on the Mount’ found in Matthew chapters 5, 6, and 7. While this is an important foundational teaching for us as we live our Christian lives, who is it really for, and what is the perspective with which we should receive this teaching?

  Cast Your Bread 09.09.2026 26min

  We may not see immediate results when we sow into ministry and the harvest fields of the Lord. This could look like sowing our lives, our hearts, our time, our resources, the words we speak, our actions and responses. God desires to use everything we offer up to Him, that our lives may be as living vessels, and that everything we pour out will flow to and impact our surrounding.What do our lives produce in the lives of those around us in the long-term?

  Have You Signed Up? 02.09.2026 23min

  Modern-day progress has made many things easier, and even quicker, for us. However, there are no shortcuts with our Christian life, and we are not in competition with each other. We all run a race with our own paths that are uniquely ours, carrying the same message of hope and the testimony of the gospel.Are we signed up and fully committed to being focused and undistracted, uncompromised towards the prize of eternity?

  What Drives You? 26.08.2026 18min

  Consistency speaks volumes of one’s character. Being ‘only human’, our consistency is sometimes affected by what we feel. In our Christian lives, our consistency is one of the reflections of our faithfulness in all that God has called us to. Throughout the pages of Scripture, we read of many situations that resulted in setbacks or downfalls of different individuals, even whole nations. We also read of those who remained true to their purpose.What is the secret of those who have been found faithful to the end?

  Fear Has No Power 19.08.2026 25min

  There are many expressions used to describe fear, among them are the adjectives ‘paralysing’, ‘crippling’, and the list goes on. We would sometimes even say that our actions or reactions are ‘governed by fear’. Fear is a stronghold that stops us from reaching our full potential in the purposes of God – but it can be broken! 2 Timothy 1:7 says that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of love and of a sound mind.How do we feed our spirit that we can rise up in faith, face fear head-on, and emerge as overcomers?
• 
  Break Your Prison Down 12.08.2026 25min

  There are times when we feel trapped inside ourselves – not by our situations, but by our own minds. The Lord has never intended it such, intending rather for us to live and walk in freedom. Even a lie can become the basis of our truth if we declare it to ourselves enough.Will we choose instead to sing and declare God’s truth until our hearts believe?
• 
  Failure is Not Your Finish Line 05.08.2026 28min

  Failure is not the ‘be all and end all’ of our world! Yes, there may be consequences that follow our instances of failure, but whether failure becomes a dead end or a step to the next thing is a decision that lies solely on us. We could choose to get stuck in the downward spiral of “Why, God?” and land back at square one, or we could choose to get up, pick up where we tripped, and find our hope and victory in God!

  Let God be the Hero of Your Story 29.07.2026 9min

  For decades, even centuries, the concept of a ‘hero’ has never lost its relevance. With many of the stories from the pages of our lives, we often frame the story to paint ourselves – or someone we look up to – in a heroic light.What does the Word say about Who we should be reflecting? More importantly, what does it say about Who the true hero of our story should be?
• 
  Overcoming Hurt 22.07.2026 18min

  Hurt is something we all experience in various forms throughout our lives. Some people subscribe to the idea that it is easier to seal it up and just move on. Others lash out and use it to justify their character or reactions. What is sure is, when left unaddressed, hurt becomes like a wound that is left to fester and never heal.How do we deal with these wounds, that we don’t end up tiptoeing through life?
• 
  The Power of 'I Thought' in Our Lives 15.07.2026 26min

  The Bible says that God’s thoughts are higher than our thoughts, His ways higher than our ways. It also says that He gives us freewill, and that is where our own thoughts and ideas influence our circumstances. God’s plans for us are for us to live full lives, fulfilling His unique purposes for each of us – that our joy may be made complete in His.How do we posture ourselves so that this place of fulfilled joy becomes a constant in our lives?

  When Life Throws a Curveball 08.07.2026 16min

  ‘Curveball’ is a term from baseball where the pitcher throws the ball with a spin, causing a surprise deviation from a straight path. The unpredictability and speed of this makes it difficult for the batter to hit the ball with accuracy. The good news for us believers is that God is in control – even over the curveballs of life!Knowing this, how then should we respond in these unexpected situations?
• 
  Trusting God Through Transition 01.07.2026 22min

  Moving from one place to another evokes different responses from different people. Leaving the familiar behind, and approaching unfamiliarity can be uncomfortable, even daunting. There is one constant that we have, and that is God. Scripture tells us again and again that He is the same yesterday, today, and He continues to be.What does leaning on Him through transitions look like?
• 
  Jesus Our Cornerstone 24.06.2026 20min

  We cannot give what we do not have. When Jesus came, fully man, He experienced the same things we do so that He could fully relate with what we go through. Jesus experienced rejection so that He could redeem and come back as an overcomer. The beginning and end of our struggles sometimes so consume us – but – the in between is where the rebuilding and redeeming happens so that we can emerge victorious.

  Living Through Tough Days 17.06.2026 15min

  In the opening verses of Paul’s letter to the church in Philippi, he says “…being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ…”. This tells us that God’s work in us is current and will continue until the end of our time. This is the assurance that when we come into the covenant of relationship with God as believers, He will never leave us or forsake us. How do we engage with the Holy Spirit in us as we navigate the trials and difficulties in life?

  Our Next in God 10.06.2026 14min

  “Let not our longing slay the appetite of our living,” penned the missionary Jim Elliot in a letter.Sometimes to get us through difficult or challenging situations, we look ahead to the next season or promise. The fine line falls between whether we take that as motivation to work through our journey, or where we grow frustrated or even resentful at the ‘now’ that we are in. How should we navigate the positions of our current reality and our transitions?
• 
  Your Little Can Become Much 03.06.2026 23min

  When God nudges our hearts to do something, it is always an invitation to partnership with Him. Often our natural instinct is to respond based on what we think our capacity or capability is. We might make excuses – almost as if we know better than the One who made us! What do we have in our hands? Are we willing to partner with Him for His greater purposes?
• 
  What is Our Fruit? 27.05.2026 8min

  “For every tree is known by its own fruit…” Luke 6:44aThere are many instances in the Bible where the analogy of trees are used to describe the life of a believer. ‘A tree planted by streams of living water’ gives us a picture of us being rooted in God, our source of Living Water. The fruit that trees bear is not for their own consumption, but to be enjoyed by others. Likewise, the fruit of our lives becomes our testimony to those who come in contact with us. What does our fruit look and taste like?
• 
  It's Not Just About the Bread 20.05.2026 18min

  What is our motivation when we seek Jesus? Is our relationship with God subject to conditions and confirmations? God desires transformational relationships over transactional relationships. Our journey should prepare us for eternity, and not merely for the temporal things of the earth.In Ecclesiastes 3:11, the Bible says that God has written eternity in our hearts, and only He knows the end from the beginning. The only way for us to walk in the fullness of God is to walk with Him.

  The Harvest Field - a Call to Action 13.05.2026 11min

  Moved with compassion at the sight of the multitudes, Jesus turned to His disciples in Matthew 9:37 and said, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the labourers are few.”We are all called to be disciples of Jesus, and we often overcomplicate what being part of the harvest means. Not everyone is called to speak on platforms to hundreds and thousands, but in fact, every one of our lives speak louder than any sermon ever could. Would we be willing to steward the harvest and make it part of our everyday life?

  Can You Admit It? 06.05.2026 11min

  From the beginning of mankind, we read in Genesis 3 the first incident of self-justification when Adam and Eve were confronted with sin. There was a shifting of blame and their relationship with God was affected. Taking ownership of our actions and their consequences allows us to come to a place of forgiveness, resolution, and peace with God and with those around us.
