We continue with our theme of seeing Jesus in the Old Testament, this time in the account of Abraham and Isaac. We see how Abraham had to learn to fully trust God even when he didn’t understand what God was doing. An early test of Abraham’s faith was having to let go. Without letting go and therefore not fully trusting God he wouldn’t receive the full blessing that God had for him. Has God challenged you to let go of something? Bible Reading: Gen 22:1-18

oseph’s story has it all—extraordinary dreams, family betrayal, suffering, unexpected twists, and ultimately, redemption. His journey takes him from the pit to the palace, through circumstances he could never have anticipated or understood. But behind it all, God was at work. This week, as we continue our series “The Old Testament Speaks of Jesus,” we’ll explore how God faithfully worked out his purposes through Joseph’s life, even in the midst of suffering and uncertainty. And as we look more closely at Joseph’s story, we’ll see how his journey points beyond himself to Jesus and to God’s greater plan to bring redemption and salvation to the world. Join us as we discover how the story of Joseph points beyond the Old Testament to Jesus—the ultimate fulfilment of God’s plan of redemption—and the hope we have in him. Reading: Genesis 37:1-11

Caregiving isn’t just helping people — it’s worship.  This week we looked at the Caregiver Sacred Pathway and how practical love reveals God’s heart. From Mordecai’s courage to Jesus caring for the least, last, and lost, we explored why caregiving is prophetic, powerful, and deeply spiritual, and why even caregivers need rest and renewal.   Bible reading: 1 Peter 4:8–11

Includes testimonies about the power of the scriptures to change lives

Most ancient cultures told stories of catastrophic floods, where fickle gods wiped out humanity on a whim. But the Genesis story of Noah is radically different.

We continue our series on how the Old Testament points to Jesus. We will take a look at Gideon. His story is found in Judges ch 6 - 8. The book of Judges (the word means saviour) is full of stories of Israel disobeying God, falling deeper and deeper into sin, then comes God's judgement and His rescue through a flawed leader (judge). Over and over lessons are not learned and consequentially judgement gets more severe until we read about some really horrible things at the end of the book. Depressed? Sorry. Actually Judges isn't about sinful people and their flawed leaders. It's about our God who is infinitely patient and merciful. 70x7. Gideon's story has a lot of encouragement for us as we face uncertain times at Agora. Join us on Sunday and let's see how God, through His guaranteed presence with His people, can turn evil and discouraging events into assurances of hope and ultimate victory.

This Sunday we continued our series, The Old Testament Speaks of Jesus, by exploring the story of Cain and Abel, an account of worship, jealousy, and the destructive downward spiral of sin. Why did God accept one brother’s offering but reject the other’s? What does this story from the opening pages of the Bible reveal about the kind of heart God desires from us today? As we unpacked Genesis 4, we discovered not only its lessons for our lives, but also how it ultimately points us to Jesus. Bible Reading: Genesis 4:1-16

This Sunday we looked the first chapter of Hosea and looked at the parallels between Hosea and his wife, and God and us. Bible Reading: Hosea 1

This Sunday we explored the Contemplative Pathway, the practice of meeting God through stillness, intimacy, and quiet attentiveness.  Bible reading: Luke 10:38-42

In this episode, Elyse Wallace explores Matthew 7’s teachings on judgment, humility, and grace—sharing personal stories and practical steps for self-examination, persistent prayer, and living the Golden Rule. Tune in for honest reflection, encouragement to water your own spiritual lawn, and ways to extend mercy in everyday relationships.

This Sunday we had a deeper dive into what Jesus meant on "Our Daily Bread" and how to properly pray according to the bible.
