Have you ever felt like the culture we live in doesn't affirm your faith or encourage you in your spiritual walk? In this episode of Family Worship, we're diving into the book of Daniel, and the famous story of Daniel in the lion's den.

We are looking at how we can live and work for God’s glory in a culture that doesn’t always respect that. You see, Daniel was an outsider – he'd lived most of his life as an exiled Jew in Babylon, and he wanted to live faithfully for God in a foreign land.

Today's message comes to you from Dan Sercombe, who is the pastor of Redemption Baptist Church in Carindale.

Redemption Baptist is a church seeking to love and serve Jesus, by helping each other grow up in maturity, so that we might represent Him well in this world.

They meet every Sunday morning at 9:30 in Belmont State School’s multi purpose centre, and they would love to see you in a service. Find out more details at www.redemption.org.au

Rev. Storey looks at the themes of two passages; one from Matthew 5 (salt and light), and one from Isaiah 58 (holiness, righteousness and justice).

He shares how we can enact the reign of God in our communities by being salt, light, and to show righteousness and love to those around us.

Today on Family Worship we're diving into one of the parables of Jesus that highlights how God's Kingdom starts small and silently transforms everything from within.

The parable of the yeast (or leaven) is a short teaching where Jesus compares the Kingdom of Heaven to yeast that a woman mixes into a large batch of flour until it rises, and is recorded in both the Gospels of Matthew (13:33) and Luke (13:20-21).

Phil Smith is a retired Uniting Church pastor (Bells Faith Community, Caloundra) and currently attends The Church of the Resurrection in Bridgeman Downs, part of the Anglican Parish of Aspley and Albany Creek.

In this edition of Family Worship, we explore the remarkable story of Ruth; a book that reveals God's faithfulness and redeeming grace through ordinary people.

Against a backdrop of loss, loyalty, and uncertainty, Ruth's devotion to Naomi leads her to Boaz, a kinsman-redeemer who restores hope and provides a future. Their relationship beautifully illustrates the theme of redemption, pointing beyond their own story to God's greater plan of salvation.

Today's guest speaker is Joy Graetz from the Cornerstone Christian Church in Alderley.
