Giving is more than a financial transaction; it’s one of the ways God forms trust, worship, memory, and shared responsibility in His people. In this message, we explore the Old Testament practices of firstfruits and the tithe - not as fundraising formulas, but as deeply formative acts of faith. Firstfruits taught Israel that God is the source, owner, and provider of all they had. The tithe sustained worship, supported ministry, cared for the vulnerable, and reminded the community that life with God was something they carried together. This is an invitation to ask a question deeper than “How much do I have to give?” What does faithfulness look like when everything we have belongs to God, and what might He be forming in our hearts through an open-handed life?

Revelation invites the church to see reality clearly: the throne is occupied, God reigns, and the Lamb who was slain is worthy. In this message, we explore worship around the throne in Revelation 4 and 5: worship that begins with beholding, centres on the worthiness of God and the Lamb, and draws our whole selves into reverence, surrender, and response. As crowns are cast down and heaven’s song rises, our loves are reordered and our allegiance is strengthened. This is an invitation to move beyond preference, fear, and spectatorship, and to join the worship already unfolding around the throne - becoming a people who resist lesser kingdoms because we have seen the One who is truly worthy.

Worship isn’t only something we offer to God; it’s one of the ways God forms us as His people. In this message, we explore the New Testament vision of gathered worship as shared ministry - ministering to the Lord, building up one another, becoming attentive to the Spirit, and being formed for mission. As the word of Christ dwells richly among us, our songs become carriers of truth, our voices help the church remember, and our shared worship shapes us around the presence and Lordship of Jesus. This is an invitation to move beyond spectatorship and rediscover the gathered church as a people participating together - singing what helps us behold Jesus, and beholding Him until we become more like Him in the world.
