Many people wonder what makes us special, or whether we matter at all. Scripture's answer is that every person is made in the image of God and loved by him, regardless to what they can do or produce. This week we explore our identity as God's handiwork and our calling to reflect His image in the world.
Is This the End of the World?
Headlines about wars and rumours of wars can leave us anxious about where the world is headed. Jesus spoke plainly about troubled times, but he also told his followers not to be alarmed. This week we'll look at what scripture says about conflict and the end of the age, and how the hope of Christ's return frees us from fear.
What is a Godly Way to Think About Politics?
Elections, rising prices and economic uncertainty can divide families and churches and push us to see each other as enemies. This week we explore how Christians can be faithful citizens and wise stewards while putting their ultimate trust in God's kingdom, not in any party or bank account. We talk about seeking the good of our communities, trusting God's provision, and loving the neighbours we disagree with.
What Does God Say About AI?
Artificial intelligence is everywhere in the news, and many of us aren't sure whether to be excited or afraid. In Genesis 11, people used a new technology, bricks, to build a tower and make a name for themselves. This week we'll see that the problem was never the bricks but the builders' hearts, and we'll ask how we can use today's tools to lift up God's name instead of our own.
Shape Your Life
Wisdom is not only about making good decisions. It forms us into people of integrity, generosity, justice, and compassion. The journey of wisdom is ultimately about character. Proverbs repeatedly connects a wise life with how we treat other people, especially those who are vulnerable or in need. Godly character shows itself through honesty, generosity, kindness, justice, and concern for others.
Be A Guide
Proverbs presents parents as teachers and guides. We cannot make every decision for our children or guarantee the direction of their lives will take, but we can model wisdom, provide loving boundaries, teach truth, and continually point them toward God.
This message isn't just for parents but for grandparents, mentors, teachers and anyone who helps shape the next generation.
Choose Your People
The people we walk with shape the people we become. Proverbs says a lot about friendship because our relationships influence our direction. Good friends encourage us, sharpen us, stand with us in difficult times, and help us become wiser. We need to be thoughtful about both the friends we choose and the kind of friend we choose to become.
Choose Your Path
Proverbs 3 pictures life as a path. We are all headed somewhere, but we do not always know the best way to get there. Wisdom begins when we stop assuming we can navigate life entirely on our own and learn to trust God with the direction of our lives.
Psalm 103
Today we're encouraged by the message of Psalm 103.
