Justin talks to us this week about the tension between each of the Big three for 2023, paying particular attention to the relationship between 'One another' and 'the World'Watch the Ending Video on YouTube

Richard wraps up or big three for 2023 series by taking a look at the topic of suffering and how that affects our relationship with God, with one another and with the world. We dig into this specific passage in 2 Corinthians to learn that while we suffer, we can experience comfort from the God of all comfort.(2 Corinthians 1:3-7)

I don't know what comes into your mind when you hear the word 'Fellowship' but this week Richard helps us to see how Church/Christian culture has changed over time and how we have to pay attention to the element of community in our life.

We continue in the Big Three for 2023 series, this week taking a close look at the complex relationship that Christians have with 'the world.'Richard helps to bring clarity to the topic, unpacking what 'the world' means and what the Bible teaches us about how we can live in the world, but not of the world.

On opening weekend, Richard helps us to look at just three things, instead of 80 possible phrases from scripture that could be used to define what the church should look like.

Pastor Ndaba opens up 1 Peter 1 to talk to us about the challenge that is before us, saying it is not just enough to know this verse, it is a hinge, a turning point. The verse moves us from beliefs to behavior that must change. How then shall we live out our time in a hostile and Dark World?(1 Peter 1:13-16)

As we celebrate Jesus coming to earth as a man, Richard takes a look at just one verse to investigate the genesis of Chrismas...(Matthew 1:1)

Bradley Jones from JBay Baptist Church speaks to us about the Goodness of god, thinking about why we trust in God.
