In the 9th Word, we are commanded to stop practicing something that has the power to oppress and destroy people, relationships, and communities: do not bear false witness. To bear false witness of our neighbours bears false witness to who God is, to who others are, and to who you are.
You might not think of yourself as a thief—but what if “Do not steal” goes deeper than taking stuff? What if it’s about trust, control, and the kind of person you’re becoming? This talk will challenge how you see your money, your possessions, and your faith—and show how freedom comes when you stop grasping and start trusting.
Our culture talks about sex constantly—but seems more confused about it than ever. We’re told to follow our desires, yet that path so often leads to disappointment, pain, and regret. What if God’s design for sex was never about restriction, but about joy, intimacy, and freedom? This talk cuts through the noise and invites you to see sex as one of God’s most powerful and life-giving gifts.
God treasures every human life because each one bears his image. But murder doesn’t start with weapons—it starts with anger, contempt, and the quiet wish that someone would just disappear from our world. Jesus exposes that in us, not to shame us, but to set us free. When we forgive, make peace, and protect life, we live out his heart in a world that desperately needs it.
God calls us to honour our parents—not because they’re perfect, but because honour is the posture of a healthy heart. It’s how we treat, speak about, and care for them, especially as they age. In learning to honour our parents, we’re also learning to honour God and those he’s placed in authority. It’s not always easy, but it’s right, and it leads to blessing in our families and in our world.
The Sabbath is so much more than just another rule to follow. It's God’s gift of rest built right into creation. It’s meant to help us slow down, re-centre our hearts on Jesus, and remember that life is about more than just getting things done. Sabbath is about learning a whole way of life that rests in Him. And every time we practice it, we get a little glimpse of the eternal rest God has promised us in His new creation.
We all carry names — our own, our family’s, even our reputations. But what happens when God gives us his name to carry? Join us as we explore one of the most misunderstood of the Ten Commandments and discover why this word is more relevant than ever.
We often crop God down to size — making him safer, smaller, more manageable. It’s easy to edit out the parts that feel uncomfortable, just like we edit a photo. But the result is always less than the real thing. This talk shows how to leave those lesser versions behind and encounter the God who is bigger, more beautiful, and more powerful than we imagined.
Why did God give us the Ten Commandments? Are they outdated rules, or could they actually be the path to real freedom? These Ten Words show us who God is, who we are, and how life works best—and it all begins with one foundation: worship God alone.
Paul paints a picture of what life together in the church is meant to look like, full of genuine love that embodies the heart and actions of Jesus’ covenant love. He calls us to serve each other with joy and perseverance, not out of duty but as worship to Jesus. We learn to celebrate each other’s joys, carry one another’s burdens, and even respond with kindness when it’s hard. This is the kind of community the gospel ought to create, one of radical love
