The Gift God Wants // Life In The Kingdom
03/02/2025 Duration: 28minFeeling anxious or hostile? Forgiveness and reconciliation, according to Harvard Medical School, can lower anxiety, depression, and substance abuse while increasing self-esteem. This week's message explores Jesus's teaching on anger, emphasizing that harboring contempt and using dehumanizing language puts you on a destructive path. Reconciliation is key: prioritize making things right with others over your religious practices because unresolved conflict damages relationships and our relationship with God. A truly blessed life means taking responsibility for how you treat others, actively pursuing reconciliation, and offering forgiveness because everyone has sacred worth as they are made in God's image.

This message is for everyone, whether you're a long-time believer or just curious, exploring the themes of identity, purpose, and community and their power to transform the world around us.

To Be Blessed // Life In The Kingdom
21/01/2025 Duration: 31minThis week, we're diving into Jesus's famous Sermon on the Mount, a real game-changer for how we think about life and faith.

We'll explore how God blesses our weaknesses, not our strengths, and how we can live from his blessings instead of striving for them. Get ready to see what living The Jesus way really means, and maybe even memorize some of the sermon itself.

The speaker encourages reflection on what we should keep and what we should discard as we seek a deeper relationship with Jesus, using the analogy of a hiker lightening their pack and the parable of the man who joyfully sold all he had to buy the field where the treasure was hidden.

Love Has Come // Waiting For A King
