No wasted pain

Romans 8:28-30 contains a promise that there is No Wasted Pain for those who follow Jesus. But what does that mean when we encounter suffering and evil in a broken world? And how do we exchange the great, assuring promise of this passage with false comforts and human platitudes?

Breathe in the bones

Drawing on Romans 8:22–27, this sermon reflects on the Spirit’s groaning intercession as the reason Christians can hope even while we wrestle with sin and suffering. We learn how the Spirit forms in us a posture of eager expectation for the world God is making new.

The weight of glory

In this message, The Weight of Glory from Romans 8:18–22, we explore Paul’s breathtaking vision that present suffering is not worth comparing to the glory that awaits God’s people. Through vivid imagery and honest reflection, we’re reminded that the path to glory always runs through the cross—and that even creation itself longs for the day when all things are made new

Spirit of Adoption

The Bible calls us Children of God, a truth readily acknowledged but rarely lived out. Jacques explores 1) The uniqueness of the Father – child relationship for God. 2) The ways we want to make God our Master and not our father and 3) The spirits work confirming this to our heart.

In this message, we’ll discover how the Spirit of God frees us from the power of sin and leads us into a victorious, Spirit-filled life where real transformation isn’t achieved by striving—but received by surrender.

Healing the Boy with an Unclean Spirit

The disciples had seen God move before—but this time, what worked in the past didn’t work again. It’s a powerful reminder that when it comes to faith, past success doesn’t guarantee future success. Real faith isn’t about formulas or memories of what once worked; it’s about daily dependence on God. What does genuine faith looks like in the ups and downs of life and how can we keep trusting Jesus consistently?

Made for Love

In this message we explore the confusion of a “sexular age,” where culture treats sexuality as ultimate but hollow, and contrast it with God’s good design. We show how the Corinthian problem of viewing sex as just an appetite lives on in today’s consent-only ethic, which is too thin to sustain real flourishing. Instead, the Christian vision of sexuality as covenantal, fruitful, and sacred offers a life-giving alternative.
