On Palm Sunday, we reflect of Jesus’ position as the selfless king. This will bring up two questions that we need to answer: Will we embrace his message of love and salvation? Will we follow him in sacrifice and service? Listen in to hear more.

Palm Sunday | Psalm 118:25-29

Ant, Phil and Andy recap the two season finales for URC and Super Rugby as well as the non-Test between the B&I Lions (minus Leinster) and Argentina (minus most of their first choice French clubbers). The Lions head off to Australia with more questions than answers but Ant like a good Brit thinks this might be a good thing. The Super Clubs of Leinster and the Crusaders add more trophies to their storied histories, and the Bulls bullies get taught a lesson at Choke, I mean Croke, Park. Meanwhile, attention turns to the Test window, with an appetizer in the form of the BaaBaas in Cape Town who have already run up significant bills at Caprice in Clifton if rumours are to be believed.

Episode 290 -Test match rugby is back! (Kind of)

In 1 Samuel, God confronts Eli for honoring his sons over Him—and it costs him everything. God doesn’t take second place. He’s raising up people who will honor Him above all else. Let’s talk about what it means to live with that kind of reverence and respond to His call. Listen to hear more. 

Prophet, Priest, & Judge | A House Rejected, 1 Sam 2:27-36 | Week 5

We’re talking about money, but not the way the world does. God owns it all, and we’re called to use it for His purposes, not just our own. Ready for a heart check? Let’s learn what it really means to store up treasure in heaven! Listen to hear more!


Tithing: A Right View of Money | Week 1

This week, we’re talking about tithing and how it reveals the way we see the church. Is it God’s house or just another stop on your weekly to-do list? When we give, we’re not just funding a building we’re fueling a mission. Let’s shift from consumers to co-laborers and give in a way that honors Jesus. Listen in to hear more.


Tithing: A Right View of Church | Week 2

This week’s message comes straight from Ephesians 2:1–10—a clear picture of the Gospel. We were dead in our sins, but God made us alive in Christ. It’s all grace, not works, and now we’ve been created for good—so let’s live like it!

Baptism Sunday

This week’s message is a sobering one—God’s judgment falls on those who try to use His presence while ignoring their own disobedience. God isn’t a tool for personal gain. True faith begins with repentance, surrender, and letting Jesus be Lord over every part of our lives—not just the parts we’re comfortable with.

Prophet, Priest, & Judge | Woe to us!, 1 Sam 4:1-11 | Week 7

This week, we’re going back to the beginning,Genesis 1–3, to remember the story we so often forget. Like Israel, we lose sight of who God is and who we are: created with purpose, broken by sin, and desperately in need of rescue. The Good News? We can’t save ourselves, but Jesus already has.

The Gospel We Keep Forgetting

After Israel’s defeat, the Philistines captured the Ark and placed it in their temple as a trophy, symbolizing their god’s victory over Israel’s. But God will not be mocked. Like the Ark, Jesus was mocked and presumed defeated, but while in the grave, He was conquering. Every idol, every power, every lie falls before Him. So don’t just let God reside, let Him rule. Tear down every rival.

Prophet, Priest, & Judge | Yahweh is Greater, 1 Sam 5:1-12 | Week 9

The Ark returns to Israel,but this moment reveals more than just a homecoming. It shows us how both outsiders and insiders misunderstand God’s holiness. We don’t worship Him on our terms. When God exposes us, it’s not to shame us,it’s to draw us closer through repentance, purity, and reverence. He’s a God who loves deeply and judges rightly.Every lie falls before Him. So don’t just let God reside,let Him rule. Tear down every rival.

Prophet, Priest, & Judge | Returning the Ark, 1 Sam 6:1-7:2 | Week 10
