In this episode, we explore how Nehemiah’s story challenges us to choose commitment over convenience. From leaving behind palace privileges to rebuilding broken walls under opposition, Nehemiah shows us that God doesn’t need the most powerful, just the most available. Join us as we unpack what it means to take our place on the wall, seeking first God’s kingdom in practical, everyday ways.

In this episode, we explore what it means to trade privilege for purpose by looking at the life of Moses in the Bible. Just as Moses refused the fleeting treasures of Egypt for the eternal reward of God’s kingdom, we are invited to step out of comfort and into calling. The message calls us to live with faith, courage, and kingdom values that shape every decision we make.

In this opening message of the Seek First series, we considered Abraham’s example of choosing faith over security. Abraham left behind his home and certainty to follow God’s call, stepping into the unknown with trust. The challenge for us today is to live with the same courage, surrendering our sense of security to seek first the kingdom of God.

In this week’s episode, two of our young people, Christiana and Gabriel, shared how Daniel’s faith and courage continue to inspire us today. Daniel’s example shows us that real inspiration is not about feeling good but about living with unshakable trust in God, even in the face of trials. His story challenges us to live boldly, faithfully, and with complete submission to God, knowing He will never leave us.

In this message, we look at what it means to inspire not only one or a few but the many—especially the hundreds of children who walk through our church doors every Sunday. Through stories of how faithful leaders shaped Hannah’s own faith journey, we are reminded that each small act of kindness or encouragement can ripple into a child’s future. Inspiring the next generation is less about filling roles and more about leaving a legacy of faith.

In this episode in our Lives that Inspire series, John Els unpacks the life of Joseph, showing how God’s hand was present in his darkest moments as well as in his greatest triumphs. Moving from betrayal to imprisonment to leadership in Egypt, Joseph models integrity, forgiveness, and trust in God’s timing. This message encourages listeners to embrace God’s grace in whatever stage of life they are in—pit, prison, or palace—and to live as a blessing to others.

In this episode, we explore the inspiring life of Hannah and the powerful lessons hidden within her waiting, weeping, and worship. From barrenness to breakthrough, Hannah models a faith that doesn’t flinch, a prayer that doesn’t quit, and a vow that doesn’t break. Tune in as we discover how our answered prayers might actually be the beginning of a greater assignment.

This message explores the remarkable story of Esther — a young woman who becomes queen and steps up to save her people at great personal risk. Although God’s name is never mentioned in the book, His presence is woven throughout the story. We’re invited to reflect on how we, too, might be placed where we are “for such a time as this.”
