As Jesus resists every temptation and remains faithful where we so often fail, we’re invited to surrender our hunger, our fears, and our worship fully to Him.

2w ago00:30:53Tap to summarizePastor Tom Hendrikse explores the message of John the Baptist and the road that leads to Jesus: repentance.

4w ago00:28:00Tap to summarizePastor Tom Hendrikse leads us through the story of Jesus’ birth in Matthew 1, showing how encountering Jesus reshapes everything and calls for wholehearted surrender. When we truly see Him, we’re willing to joyfully give up anything to have Him, and like Joseph, we’re invited to trust God, lay down what stands in the way, and embrace the One who is better.

Apr 2900:32:39Tap to summarizePastor Tom Hendrikse walks us through the story of Samson in Judges 16, reminding us that there is always hope, it’s never too late, and there is always a point! Even in Samson’s lowest moment, we see a God who is still working and still strengthening. We’re invited to surrender our own way and trust the Lord who can bring new life from broken places.
Transcribe →Strong & Weak | the danger of secret compromise
Apr 2100:37:19Tap to summarizePastor Mason Brown walks through the story of Samson and Delilah, revealing how compromise starts with impulse, grows through a refusal to be taught, is protected by isolation, and hardens into pride. As we see Samson’s strength vanish, we’re invited to turn from empty wells, step into authentic community, and pursue the life God truly offers.
Transcribe →Strong & Weak | called by God + set apart for a purpose
Apr 1400:28:14Tap to summarizePastor Tom Hendrikse reflects on the story of Samson in Judges 14, where desire and impulse lead him to pursue what is “right in his own eyes” instead of God’s will. Even in human failure, we see God still at work, confronting what stands against Him and calling His people to faithfulness. This message invites us to examine what we are pursuing, reject the lies that there is no hope or it is too late, and surrender our lives to the love of Jesus.

Apr 100:27:45Tap to summarizePastor Tom Hendrikse reflects on the end of David’s life, where gratitude rises from a lifetime of experiencing God’s saving presence and faithful work. As David looks back, we’re invited to consider what we’re looking for, what we’re remembering, and how we can recognize and give thanks for God’s hand in our own story.
