Respectable Sins: Unbelief - Respectable Sins

In this sermon Gareth explores how worry and anxiety often reveal a deeper issue beneath the surface: unbelief. Through Israel’s wilderness journey and Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6, we are challenged to consider what we truly believe about God’s character, faithfulness, and fatherly care. Rather than allowing fear and anxiety to harden our hearts, we are invited to trust the God who has proven Himself faithful time and time again. This message calls us to resist unbelief, remember God’s goodness, and find freedom through renewed faith in Him

Respectable Sins: Pride - Respectable Sins

In this sermon Riley explores the hidden and destructive nature of pride. Far more than arrogance, pride is a heart that chooses self-dependence over dependence on God. Looking at Genesis 3 and throughout Scripture, she illustrates how pride lies beneath many of our struggles, shaping our identity, relationships, and view of God. Yet the gospel offers hope: God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Through resisting pride, repenting, receiving grace, and walking in community, we can find true freedom, rest, and transformation in Christ.
