Gideon - Call and response

In this message, we explore Gideon’s encounter with God in Judges 6 - his doubts, God’s call, and Gideon’s response. We see how God initiates, calls the weak, and transforms lives. We also see how Gideon co-operates with God’s call, which raises the question, how do we keep our hearts receptive what God is saying and doing?

Gideon’s story shows our need for transformation, God’s willingness to rescue, and reminds us how critical it is to believe God’s word as we seek to break the cycle.

Jesus our Kinsman-Redeemer

In Ruth chapter 3 we see a beautiful picture of redemption. Boaz acts as Ruth’s kinsman-redeemer, stepping in to rescue and restore her. This points us to Jesus, our true Kinsman Redeemer, who comes near to redeem us, cover our shame, and secure our future. Ruth’s story helps us see the wonder of what Christ has done for us.

Culture: Come With Us and We Will Do You Good

So often in leadership, the focus falls on structures, roles, vision, and goals. All of these matter. But there is another aspect of leadership that is sometimes less obvious, harder to define, yet just as important: culture.

In this talk, we reflect on what healthy culture looks like, why it shapes people more than we often realise, and how healthy leadership intentionally creates environments that do people good.
