What happens when we realise just how serious our sin is? How should we respond to our guilt? What does genuine repentance look like? And is restoration really possible after a terrible fall? As we explore David’s prayer in Psalm 51, we’ll learn what repentance involves and why God’s mercy gives us hope.

What kind of life is truly worth living? Psalm 1 shows two very different ways of going about life, one rooted in God’s word, the other going its own way without him. Which one truly satisfies? Which one will ultimately stand? Which one describes you?

Why do we get angry? Is anger always sinful? And how can we learn to respond wisely when we are hurt, frustrated or offended? This Sunday, we’ll explore what Proverbs teaches about anger, what our anger reveals about our hearts, and how God’s grace in Christ enables us to become slow to anger.

What responsibility do dads have for the faith and character of their children? And what happens when our children don’t turn out as we hoped? This Father’s Day, we’ll turn to Proverbs to consider what it means to be a wise father—and why our ultimate hope is in our heavenly Father.

We all want to be wise with money—but what does that actually mean? Proverbs shows us that financial wisdom goes far deeper than budgeting, saving and investing. The way we handle money can reveal our hearts, shape our lives and even endanger our souls. So what does true wisdom look like?

We all know the regret of saying something we wish we could take back. But why do our words have such power? What makes some words wise and others destructive? And can we actually learn to speak differently? Proverbs has a lot to say about the words we speak—and the heart behind them.

What does it mean to live wisely? Proverbs introduces us to a wisdom that begins not with cleverness or experience, but with the fear of the Lord. In Proverbs 1:1-7, we discover what biblical wisdom is, who needs it, and why humility before God is the foundation for a life well lived.

The book of Ruth ends with a wedding, a baby, and a family restored. But the book's greatest surprise comes in its final verses, where God reveals that this ordinary family's story is part of his extraordinary plan to bring the King—and the Saviour—the world desperately needs.

What does God's redeeming kindness look like? Ruth 3 takes us to a midnight meeting where a bold request is met with a costly promise. Through Boaz, we glimpse the Redeemer who willingly bears our debt and brings the empty into the fullness of his grace.

What will you find when you return to God? Ruth 2 answers with a beautiful picture of His unexpected kindness. Through quiet providence and surprising generosity, God begins to turn Naomi’s emptiness into hope and shows Ruth the grace found in refuge under his wings.

What does it look like to return to God after wandering, suffering or loss? In Ruth 1:6-22, the stories of Naomi, Orpah and Ruth reveal the cost, the hope and the struggle of returning to the Lord—and the unexpected kindness that meets us there.

What happens when life falls apart and God seems far away? As we begin our new series, Ruth 1:1-6 takes us into a story of famine, loss and devastation—and begins to reveal the unexpected kindness of God for those who feel far from him.

How can we be confident that God hears and answers our prayers? In Psalm 17, David prays with remarkable assurance. As we explore this psalm together, we'll discover how those who trust in Christ become the apple of God's eye and can approach God with confidence.

As Peter concludes his letter, he gives a final call to embrace the path Christ walked—from suffering to glory. This sermon considers the three charges: be humble under God’s mighty hand, be on guard against the devil, and be assured of God’s grace.

How does Jesus care for his people as they journey through this world toward glory? In 1 Peter 5:1-5, Peter reminds us that the Chief Shepherd has not abandoned his flock. Christ provides shepherds to lead, feed, and protect his people, and calls his church to humble submission and mutual care.
