In this sermon Guest preacher Andrew Butterworth of Godfirst Benoni, speaks to us about faith in Jesus and what true gospel faith looks like.

In the last sermon of this series, Doug preaches on David as a worshiper and how even though his life was marked by many mistakes, bad decisions and sin he still sought God with all his heart, earning the title "A Man after God's own heart'

In this sermon, Doug preaches on the last words of David as his life draws to a close. In this passage he talks about his identity in God and  God's faithfulness and sovereignty in his (and our) life(s) and how it is a beautiful and good thing.

Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never allow the righteous to be shaken. -- Psalms 55:22 In this account of David & Absalom, we see how withheld grace lead to betrayal and how when it seems like God has 'taken leave' he is always working and is sovereign over all things, and like David we need to trust in Him even if we can't see Him working.

In the second part of the David & Bathsheba story, Nathan confronts David about his sin. In this we see how God, so rich in mercy, pursues us in our sin, not waiting for us to come to him first. And when we repent, he forgives immediately, not treating us as our sins deserve.

In this account of the David & Bathsheba story, we see the corrupting and entangling nature of sin but also how the incredible grace of God covers it all.

This Sunday Dave unpacks the impact of grace on the broken and how we, as the broken, can look to the gospel to see what God has done for us through the love and death of Jesus.

This Sunday Doug takes us through how we should not presume to know what is good, but to lean on enquiring of the Lord to guide us on his will.

This week Doug unpacks how the ark of the covenant helps us today to understand and re-appreciate the holiness, goodness and joy of the presence of God and how this understanding can help us live in obedience.

In this sermon we look at how despite our human and sinful nature, God is able to use people as part of his perfect purpose.

In this account of David's interaction with Nabal & Abigail we see how the world will offend and hurt us but this should drive us toward Jesus and ultimately help us to respond in humility and grace.

Through the trials of life we need to have our gaze fixed on Jesus, who sustains us and loves us with a covenant love.

In this sermon Doug discusses the characteristics of a life yielded to God and what this looked like for David and how it applies to us today.

Dave works through how God uses spiritual friendship to grow us and help us live in community and how this leads to flourishing, as well as the 5 dynamics of spiritual friendships and their enemies.

in this sermon, Doug explains how this well known story is an account of faith, how God builds it into us and what we use it for and what our faith is in.

In this sermon, Doug shows us the difficulty but also the joy in true obedience as well as the complex nature of our hearts and how we should desire for Gods to create in us a united "heart, to fear [his] name"

I am in them and you are in me, so that they may be made completely one, that the world may know you have sent me and have loved them as you have loved me. - John 17:23 In This sermon, Doug talks through God's role as a father to us, and how we know what he is like as a father because of who Jesus is and the love he shows us.

In this Sermon, Ukranian Arkadiy Naydenov, speaks to us about his experience of the Ukrainian war and how Gods plans are often different to ours yet ultimately better.

But godliness with contentment is great gain. - 1 Timothy 6:6 In this passage Paul is telling Timothy - und us - to hold fast to what is unshakable especially during difficult and uncertain times, rather than the 'shakeable' things of the world. He encourages us to put our hope in God who will provide for our every need and from where true contentment comes.

This Psalms explores the trials and difficulty that comes with "spiritual depression", when our walk with the Lord feels hard. It then points us to the one who is faithful despite our struggle and reminds us of the transforming power of remembering this truth.
