Why should Christians not be content with having only 'Little Faith'? Pastor Colin delves into Luke chapter 17, sharing insights on how even a small faith can achieve remarkable things, yet why it is essential for believers to seek a more robust faith to face life's challenges.
As we follow the disciples' plea to Jesus to 'increase our faith,' Pastor Colin explores the context of this request and offers strategies for nurturing a deeper faith. We'll revisit stories from last week that illustrated how and why faith can stumble and the steps necessary to grow in our spiritual journey.
Tune in as we discuss the call to a holy life, the temptations we face, and how engaging with God's word, worship, and persevering in our walk with Jesus can help strengthen our faith.

In today's episode, Pastor Colin delves into the disciples' request to Jesus, "Lord, increase our faith," reflecting on the need for growth in our spiritual journeys. Faith is something that every follower of Jesus must nurture, and sometimes life throws unexpected challenges our way that make us realise our need for a stronger connection with God.
As we explore Matthew Chapter 6, Pastor Colin discusses the different strategies to cultivate and strengthen our faith amidst life's hurdles, such as health issues, relational crises, or career difficulties. He reminds us that even the smallest amount of faith can achieve great things if we persevere and place our trust in God.
Listeners will learn about the power of little faith through stories of Jesus's disciples and how faith can be easily distracted but also grow significantly through worship, remembrance, and perseverance. Pastor Colin offers valuable insights into confronting and overcoming some of life's greatest challenges while nurturing our faith.

In this broadcast, we delve into the heart of faith, hope, and love—our distinct callings from God that endure eternally. Pastor Colin passionately discusses the critical need for the Christian church today to experience a fresh outpouring of these virtues, which sets us apart in a world filled with conflict and despair.
The message titled "Little Faith" explores why our faith must grow beyond being merely existent. Through biblical stories, such as the calming of the storm and Peter walking on water, we learn that little faith, though obedient and prayerful, often falters amid anxiety and life's tempests. Pastor Colin encourages us to nurture a flourishing and steadfast faith by turning to worship, seeking God's kingdom, and focusing unwaveringly on Jesus.

The Christian journey is a process of growth in repentance, holiness, and spiritual maturity. While many aspects of our faith are in a state of development, Pastor Colin reminds us that our understanding of who Jesus is remains steadfast. This episode dives into the reassurance of Christ’s identity, with encouragement from 1 Timothy chapter 6 and explores the significance of public confession among believers, akin to vows witnessed at a wedding. Pastor Colin also touches on the powerful anticipation of witnessing Christ's glorious return.

Pastor Colin emphasises the importance of understanding who we are in Jesus Christ. Embark on this journey with us as we learn from Paul's encouraging message to Timothy. Despite being naturally timid, young, and inexperienced, Timothy is reminded that his identity is not in his weaknesses, but in his union with Christ. This inspiring episode calls us to embrace the honour of being God’s own and encourages us to live by grace rather than nature.
We explore Paul's encouragement to Timothy as a 'man of God', a term traditionally reserved for figures such as Moses and Elijah, but now extended to every believer through Christ. This episode highlights how God's view of us through the lens of our identity in Jesus transforms our perspectives and empowers our daily walk.
If you've ever been challenged by feelings of inadequacy amidst life's pressing responsibilities, tune in to discover how embracing who you are in Christ can be a source of strength and inspiration. Join us as we delve into 1 Timothy chapter 6 in the series, 'Gospel Hope'.
