12 October 2025 | Seek Wisdom | Proverbs 15:1-14

Do your words hurt, heal, or reveal? Darren Western opens Proverbs 15:1-14, showing how speech wounds or mends and how it exposes the heart. What habits steady your tongue, and what character sustains them? See how Jesus accepts, forgives, and by the Spirit helps us speak with wisdom.

5 October 2025 | Seek Wisdom | Proverbs 9:10-11; Proverbs 4:20-24; Proverbs 25:27-28

What if the real battlefield of wisdom and foolishness is inside the heart? Luke Watts studies Proverbs to show that the heart decides long before the mouth speaks or the hand acts. Who truly governs the thoughts and desires shaping your life?

28 September 2025 | Seek Wisdom | Proverbs 2 and 3

Will you listen as wisdom cries out in a noisy world? Peter Budimir unpacks Proverbs 2 and 3, showing how seeking God’s wisdom and hiding His Word in our hearts leads to life and blessing.

21 September 2025 | Seek Wisdom | Proverbs: Fearing the Lord in All of Life

What does it really mean to be wise? Is wisdom just knowledge and skill, or is it something deeper? In this opening message from Proverbs, Luke Watts explores how true wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord and shapes the way we live today.

14 September 2025 | Joshua: As For Me & My House | Joshua 23-24

Luke Watts finishes up our series in Joshua by asking the question, "What does it look like to live a life of choosing God?" It's a life of contrast ( we're different, and that's ok), a life that clings to God (it is a relationship with God), and a life of commitment (a publicly displayed personal faith). 

7 September 2025 | Joshua: As For Me & My House | Joshua 11-22

Darren Western leads us through an overview of the summary of victories the people of Israel have as the Lord provides for them in the land he promised, then the land allotments. Caleb in chapter 14 and 15 provides a wonderful case study of how we can live lives with true optimism and hope when we trust in the promises of God and align with his purposes. 

31 August 2025 | Joshua: As For Me & My House | Joshua 10:1-28

Steve Early from SIM shares with us from Joshua 10 on the battle where the sun stood still. God had been clear in his purposes for his people in the land and his expectations of their faith, obedience, and participation. They had stumbled at certain points, but in this account particularly we see what can happen when we align ourselves fully with God's will and purpose in our lives. 

24 August 2025 | Joshua: As For Me & My House | Joshua 8-9

Peter Budimir shares with us from the end of Joshua 8 of the covenant renewal at the two mountains, where Israel again were given by God a choice - blessing or cursing. Our choices to follow God or not should never be taken lightly, because when we do not seek God's will and way, we will be deceived ( Joshua 9).

17 August 2025 | Joshua: As For Me & My House | Joshua 7

Luke Watts continues our sermon series in the book of Joshua, this week looking at the sobering account of Achan. Our sin has consequences, and when we live out of line with God's commands, trusting our desires more than his promises, we will destroy ourselves and cause suffering for others. We need mercy and grace, and we have access to forgiveness and new life in Jesus Christ! 

10 August 2025 | God's Light in Your Darkness | 2 Samuel 22:29-31

Stepping away from our Joshua study, Luke Watts shares from 2 Samuel 22:29-31. He speaks from the heart about how God meets us in times of difficulty, turning darkness into light and giving the strength we need to keep going.
