    19 April 2026 | Esther: Courageous Faith in a Committed God | Esther 1:1-22

    What does God do when power is proud, wisdom is worldly, and everything seems to rest in the hands of men? In this message from Esther 1, Peter Budimir opens the book by setting the stage for the story to come. Ahasuerus appears powerful, wealthy, and untouchable, yet the chapter quickly exposes how fragile human glory is. Behind the feast, the pride, and the royal decree, God is quietly preparing the way for His purposes. This sermon is an encouraging reminder that the Lord is still at work, even when He is not named, even when events seem chaotic, and even when human power looks absolute. Esther 1 shows that while men act in pride and weakness, God is still governing the story.

    12 April 2026 | Luke Watts | Luke 18:1–14

    Prayer can be hard. Some days it feels natural; other days it feels dry, weak, or absent altogether. In this sermon on Luke 18:1–14, Luke Watts shows how Jesus calls us to keep praying without losing heart and to come before God with humility, not self-reliance. If prayer has been a struggle, this message will encourage you to rest in God’s mercy and draw near through Christ, who gives us access to the Father. Will you keep coming to God, even when prayer feels hard?

    5 April 2026 | Resurrection Sunday | Luke 23:50 - 24:12

    Why does the resurrection of Jesus matter for faith and life today? This Resurrection Sunday message begins with the reading of Luke 23:50 to 24:12 and then reflects on the meaning of Jesus’ resurrection through 1 Corinthians 15, Romans 6, and Philippians 3. The sermon focuses on the resurrection as foundational, transformational, and relational for the Christian life.

    3 April 2026 | Good Friday Reflections | Mark 15:1-47

    On Good Friday, Darren Western reflects on Mark 15 by tracing four themes in Jesus’ death: Darkness, Abandonment, Access, and Response. He invites the church to dwell at the cross and consider both the depth of Christ’s suffering and the grace flowing from His death: Forgiveness, Belonging, and Access to God for those who believe. With the temple curtain torn and the centurion confessing, “Truly, this man was the Son of God,” the reflection presses toward one central question: What will we do with what Jesus has done?

    29 March 2026 | 2 Corinthians: Resilient Faith | 2 Corinthians 12:11 – 13:14

    In this final message in our series on 2 Corinthians, Luke Watts turns to Paul's closing appeal to the church at Corinth in 2 Corinthians 12:11 to 13:14. The passage is tender and weighty. Paul warns with love, calls believers to examine themselves, and urges them toward repentance, restoration, maturity, and peace in Christ. This sermon reminds us that God does not confront us to crush us, but to restore us. In our weakness, Christ is strong. In our sin, He calls us to repent. In our relationships, He calls us to pursue peace, comfort, and holiness together. Will you examine yourself before the Lord and let Him lead you to repentance, peace, and maturity in Christ?

    22 March 2026 | 2 Corinthians: Resilient Faith | 2 Corinthians 11:16 - 12:10

    In this message, Peter Budimir opens Paul’s difficult but beautiful words, "When I am weak, then I am strong." As Paul responds to false and self-promoting teachers, he does not point to outward impressiveness, but to suffering, weakness, and the sustaining grace of God.  This sermon reminds us that true Christian strength is not found in self-confidence, status, or appearance, but in humble dependence on Christ. Even when the thorn remains, God’s word to His people is still, "My grace is sufficient for you." What if the very weakness you would remove is the place where Christ means to show His power?

    15 March 2026 | 2 Corinthians: Resilient Faith | 2 Corinthians 10:1-11:15

    Luke Watts shares about Paul's "self" defence which was really a defence of the Gospel. When we know our Saviour, know the resrouces of divine power we have, know who we are because his work, we can correctly identify the enemy and overcome any attack against us.

    8 March 2026 | 2 Corinthians: Resilient Faith | 2 Corinthians 8 and 9

    What does 2 Corinthians 8 and 9 say about biblical generosity? In this Conversation Sunday, we slow down and open these chapters together, reflecting on the grace of God, the example of Christ, cheerful giving, readiness, integrity, and thanksgiving to God. Please keep your Bible open, search the Scriptures carefully, and pray for wisdom as you listen. Will you humbly ask God to examine your heart by His Word and help you follow through in faith?
