Processing Church Hurt & Offence

Processing Church Hurt & Offence

What if God has a greater purpose for church hurt? Relational challenges make us more like Jesus. In this message, Andrew Selley explores how Scripture teaches believers to process hurt and offence. Wherever people walk closely together, hurt is inevitable – whether through misunderstanding, insensitivity, or intentional actions – but God can use those moments to shape us. As we choose to forgive, keep no record of wrongs, and cover one another in love, we resist the enemy’s schemes and grow in maturity. Will you allow God to use your disappointment to transform you into the likeness of Jesus? This is a Four12 Podcast

Growing Up Together

What does it look like to truly belong to the body of Christ? Pete Witt calls believers beyond a spectator mindset and into the life that God has designed for His church to live together. He reminds us that following Jesus was never meant to be an individual journey of "me and God," but a shared life where every believer is connected, known, contributing, and growing together. Drawing from Ephesians 4, Pete unpacks God's purpose for local churches, the vital role of eldership in shepherding the Lord’s people, and the call for every member to take their place so that the whole body matures into the likeness of Christ. If you have found yourself disconnected, unsure, or simply observing, this message is a timely invitation to rediscover the joy and blessing of belonging fully to God's family.

Pete is a skilled Bible teacher and is passionate about talking about Jesus and the Bible, asking deep questions that go straight to the heart, and spending time with his family.

Priorities Reveal Passion

What do your priorities say about your love? True faith is not measured only by what our Sundays look like, but by our devotion throughout the week. In this session, Andrew Selley traces a line from Jesus’ zeal for the Father’s house to the church’s calling to live with the same kind of passion, care, and sacrifice. He draws on David, Paul, Haggai, and the early church to show that love for God is always expressed in love for His house, His people, and His mission. We are called to stop sitting on the sidelines and give ourselves to what He is building. This is a Four12 Podcast.

Read Your Bible Through a Hebrew Lens

Can the way we think impact our correct understanding of the Bible? In this message, Andrew Selley explains the broader context of Scripture by looking at it through the lens of Hebrew culture, revealing the bigger story God has been telling all along: how we can become acceptable to Him. Andrew looks at the sacrificial system of atonement and forgiveness to show us what confidence we can have through Christ's perfect sacrifice. When other religions tell us to be "good enough”, the Bible presents a radically different answer. Jesus declared, "It is finished" – paying for our sins in full.
