Luke 14:25-27
“Anyone who does not hate father and mother… cannot be my disciple.”
Did Jesus really mean we should hate our families and even ourselves? Together we’ll wrestle with these shocking words and discover what wholehearted discipleship truly looks like.
Genesis 38:1-30
“Come now, let me sleep with you.”
A disturbing and often-overlooked story. We’ll face its difficult themes head-on, asking what it reveals about the human heart, God’s purposes, and the need for redemption in even the darkest places.
Philippians 4:13
“I can do all things through him who strengthens me.”
A verse often quoted as a motivational boost, but what did Paul really mean? We’ll explore how this passage is less about winning or achieving, and more about finding deep contentment in every circumstance.
Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans I have for you…”
This much-loved verse is often applied to individual success and prosperity. But in its original context, it spoke to a whole community living in exile. What does “hope and a future” mean when life doesn’t go to plan?
Deeper in our Discipleship
What does it mean to grow deeper in discipleship? Instead of viewing this process as a lot of hard work we must do, let us instead consider Jesus’ words when he says “abide in me.”
Braver in our Evangelism
Everyone loves hearing good news. What could happen if we played our part in being bringers of hope?

Explore the life of King David in 2 Samuel: his failures, pride, repentance, and the grace of God. Discover how David’s story points us to Jesus, the true King.

Resetting to Maturity
We’ll explore what true spiritual growth looks like as we journey from transformation to Christlikeness. Drawing from Ephesians 4 and Romans 12, we’ll look at what it means to answer the call to grow deeper in character, resilience, wisdom, and love. God doesn’t just want us saved, He wants us mature, reflecting Jesus in our thinking, habits, relationships, and service. Reflect on how the Holy Spirit empowers us to reset our mindset, rewire our patterns, and move from spiritual infancy to maturity.
Resetting to Change
2 Corinthians 3:7-18 · Discover how God invites us to a life of real, heart-deep transformation; not behaviour modification, but metamorphosis from the inside out. See how lasting change begins with renewed vision, open hearts, and the empowering work of the Holy Spirit. Like a caterpillar becomes a butterfly, we too are called to reflect Christ’s glory more and more each day. It’s not just about who we are now, but who we are becoming in Jesus.
The wonder of God’s promises
Life doesn’t always go as planned, but we can trust that God is always present and His promises never fail. He is the unshakable rock on which we build our lives, the only secure foundation.
The wonder of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit empowers the Church. Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit, along with spiritual gifts like prophecy, tongues, and discernment, not for show, but to strengthen our faith and encourage others. These gifts are meant to build up the Church and draw people closer to an understanding of who God is. When used with humility and love, they become powerful tools for transformation and outreach.
The wonder of prayer
When Peter was in prison, the church prayed earnestly, not to control the outcome, but to align with God. True prayer isn’t about getting our way; it’s about daily surrender, deepening our relationship with God, and trusting His will. Imagine how our lives, our relationships, and even our communities could be transformed if we truly grasped and leaned into the power of prayer.
The wonder of healing
Healing is a topic that we each might approach with different feelings and experiences. But we see in Scripture that healing was never only for the individual, it served as the Gospel message pointing people to God’s love, power, and the hope we have in our eternal home.
The wonder of legacy
What do you do when the future looks uncertain…or even impossible? In a land full of giants, Caleb and Joshua saw a promise—not a problem. While fear paralysed others, they moved forward in confidence—not in themselves, but in the God who had proven faithful time and time again.
The wonder of a new identity
A relationship with Jesus brings us a brand new identity: one not based on the things of this world—power, position & popularity—but instead one simply based on being His child.
The quiet faithfulness and assurance Ananias had from his identity as a child of God was used by God to help give Saul a brand new identity and turn his life upside down for the good. What would your life look like if you could truly grasp your identity coming just from your position as God’s child?
