What makes us so judgemental? Is it a symptom of a self-righteous heart? As God's kingdom reorders our life from the inside-out, it reorders our self-righteous heart from judging to grace. Creighton Friedrich, 9 Nov 2025

A saint is someone who is "in Christ". But what does that mean? And what does that say about our truest identity as Christians? Let's consider the Apostle Paul's four identifying markers: saints are predestined, are purchased, are heirs to promise, and are to praise the Lord. Rob Denhoed, 2 November 2025 (All Saints' Sunday)

We live in the most prosperous moment in history, and yet we also live in a moment with record levels of anxiety. Could anxiety be more than a material problem? Could it have a spiritual solution? Jesus wants us to understand: God's provision, God's protection, and God's paternal care reorders our anxiety. Creighton Friedrich, 26 October 2025

How does God's Kingdom reorder what we desire most? God cares far less about the amount of money we give and far more about the condition of the heart that gives. So what is our heart bound to? And where does it lead? The Rev. Canon Howard Edwards, 19 October 2025

God's Kingdom reorders all of life, including the heart of our prayers. So what does prayer look like when reordered by Jesus towards the heart of a compassionate Father? Performance is reordered to the personal; self-interest is reordered to submission; and self-reliance is reordered to dependence. Creighton Friedrich, 12 Oct 2025

God's kingdom doesn't merely reorder our outward self towards noticeably pious behaviour; it goes deep enough to reorder the inward core of who we are - our very heart - toward God's own glory. So be warned, Jesus says, against practicing self-righteousness to win the approval of others; especially in our giving, our prayer and our fasting. Mike Tweedle, 5 October 2025

God's kingdom reorders life toward heaven - starting with our own hearts. So what difference does that make to otherwise empty words, our desire for retaliation and our instinctive hostility towards our enemies? Jesus wants us to see: God's kingdom will reorder empty promises towards integrity, retaliation towards generousity, and hostility towards love and compassion. Creighton Friedrich, 28 September 2025

God's Kingdom reorders our whole life towards heaven, starting with the heart. So how does a heart reordered by God's Kingdom express itself in the midst of life's hardest challenges? An angry heart is reordered towards reconciliation; a lustful heart is reordered towards purity; and a hardened heart behind divorce is reordered towards loyalty. Let's discover a heavenly peace living life according to Jesus. Creighton Friedrich, 21 September 2025

Jesus wants us to be clear on how the kingdom reorders the purpose of our lives: we are called to influence the world for good (like salt) and to illuminate the world with truth (like light). But we can only understand the purpose of our lives in light of Jesus' purpose: to accomplish true righteousness. Creighton Friedrich, 14 September 2025.

It's hard to overstate the importance and influence of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. It's shaped our morals, our politics, our civilization. But what does it all mean? And how do we live it out? As we begin we discover that God's Kingdom reorders our life toward heaven. This is life according to Jesus. Creighton Friedrich, 7 Sept 2025

What does it mean to take the lowest seat at the table? Christ’s call to humility is an invitation to the true wedding feast of the Gospel — where he lifts us up, unites us to himself, and sends us to share his hospitality with the world. Joel Reinhardt, 31 Aug 2025

The Good News of Jesus is not just an abstract truth - the truth of the Gospel is put into action on an ongoing basis by Christians together as the church. So when the church puts the Gospel into action, we spur one another on toward our good, our gathering, and our goal. Creighton Friedrich, 24 August 2025

The church isn't just a voluntary association or a holy rollers club - it's a family. And it's a family with a purpose: to live out the Gospel together. The Apostle Paul wants us to see that the church is a chosen people, clothed in grace, and called to care enough to bear with one another. Rob Denhoed, 17 August 2025

How does practising the Gospel enable a Christian and his or her church family to overcome spiritual stagnation and discouragement? What if two of the most important practices are the most easily overlooked? James exhorts all Christians discouraged by all sorts of trials: pray for one another and confess your sins to one another. Creighton Friedrich, 10 August 2025

Discouragement is easy, especially as we endeavour to live the Christian life. But what if God has given us a means by which we can be encouraged and encourage others along the way? A Church that puts the Gospel into practice encourages one another to be vigilant, to be self-controlled, and to be confident in light of Christ. Creighton Friedrich, 3 August 2025

Is there anything harder for us to do than forgive? In fact, why forgive at all if it excuses wrongdoing? For the Gospel-centred Christian, like the Gospel-centred church, forgiveness matters. It matters because forgiveness is God's command in Scripture, it's unnatural to us as sinners, and it shows us the heart of God in Christ. When we consider God's generous mercy and kindness toward us in Christ, we find all we need to forgive others as we have been forgiven. Mike Tweedle, 27 July 2...

In a disharmonious world, how can the local church be a living witness for the Gospel? The Apostle Paul reminds us: live in harmony with one another. Creighton Friedrich, 20 July 2025

God's Word doesn't deal with mere moral or behavioural issues - it transforms our hearts from the inside out. King David understands this. In Psalm 139 King David celebrates that God who knows us more intimately than anyone else ever can is the same God who restores and heals us, ultimately in Jesus Christ. God brings us from darkness into light. Guest Speaker: Shusma Adhikari, Executive Director of Aanandit Charity Center in Nepal. 13 July 2025.

A church that puts the Gospel into action serves one another. Why? The Apostle Paul wants us to understand that serving is true liberty, active love, and protects a church family from being laid waste. So what does serving look like today? Creighton Friedrich, 6 July 2025

What does it look like for a flourishing church to put the Gospel into action? We can get a picture from the "one another" commands in the new testament, starting with the most foundational command from the Lord Jesus himself: "love one another". Creighton Friedrich, 29 June 2025
