How does practising the Gospel enable a Christian and his or her church family to overcome spiritual stagnation and discouragement? What if two of the most important practices are the most easily overlooked? James exhorts all Christians discouraged by all sorts of trials: pray for one another and confess your sins to one another.

Discouragement is easy, especially as we endeavour to live the Christian life. But what if God has given us a means by which we can be encouraged and encourage others along the way? A Church that puts the Gospel into practice encourages one another to be vigilant, to be self-controlled, and to be confident in light of Christ. Creighton Friedrich, 3 August 2025

Is there anything harder for us to do than forgive? In fact, why forgive at all if it excuses wrongdoing? For the Gospel-centred Christian, like the Gospel-centred church, forgiveness matters. It matters because forgiveness is God's command in Scripture, it's unnatural to us as sinners, and it shows us the heart of God in Christ. When we consider God's generous mercy and kindness toward us in Christ, we find all we need to forgive others as we have been forgiven.

In a disharmonious world, how can the local church be a living witness for the Gospel? The Apostle Paul reminds us: live in harmony with one another.

God's Word doesn't deal with mere moral or behavioural issues - it transforms our hearts from the inside out. King David understands this. In Psalm 139 King David celebrates that God who knows us more intimately than anyone else ever can is the same God who restores and heals us, ultimately in Jesus Christ. God brings us from darkness into light.

A church that puts the Gospel into action serves one another. Why? The Apostle Paul wants us to understand that serving is true liberty, active love, and protects a church family from being laid waste. So what does serving look like today? Creighton Friedrich, 6 July 2025

What does it look like for a flourishing church to put the Gospel into action? We can get a picture from the "one another" commands in the new testament, starting with the most foundational command from the Lord Jesus himself: "love one another". Creighton Friedrich, 29 June 2025

Zechariah prophesies a time when the Lord will save his people. But he will save them in a way no one would expect. The Lord strengthens the weak, The Lord protects the weak, and The Lord saves the weak.
