Pain and hardship can make us wonder whether God has forgotten us or stopped caring. This message looks at how God uses discipline to train His children, build their character, and assure them of His love.

When young is cool, and old is outdated, parents can easily be dismissed. When parents fail their children, the challenge to honour them is even greater. But God has designed parents to play a vital role in a child’s growth and a society’s formation. This message looks at the honour due to parents that underlies the Fifth Commandment.
Exodus 20:12

Suffering always feels wrong—like something that should be removed as quickly as possible. But what if God intends adversity to be His servant, shaping us for our good? This message looks at how we can lay hold of God’s surprising blessings when trials come.
Job 33:12-30

When evil people succeed or people do us wrong when we’re trying to do what’s right, it feels like God has abandoned us. Why doesn’t He stop them? This message looks at how God is at work in our lives and the people around us even when evil seems to have the upper hand.
Genesis 37:2-28
We learn to procrastinate early, but as we grow older, we can put off the inevitable and fail to deal with important decisions in life. This message looks at how King David’s incredible legacy was almost destroyed by his failure to think ahead and take steps to prepare for the future.
1 Kings 1:1-53 // [outline]
We see the injustice in our world today and wonder what it will take for God to show His mercy. Today’s passage looks at a man named Phinehas who was as jealous for God’s honour as God is. He secured mercy for God’s people and was promised a priestly dynasty as a result. It is significant that this hero of the early priesthood was the son of a Jewish father and African mother and distinguished by his African features.
Numbers 25:1-18 // [outline]
We need courage for many things in life, but perhaps nowhere more than in the area of parenting. It takes courage to trust God’s wisdom for our children, especially when others are steering us in other directions. But it’s that wisdom that can lead them into a life of blessing.
