Fellowship Dubai

When the world, and your life, throws the toughest questions at you, the word of God has the answer. As Pastor Daniel continues the series Good Questions, he shows us the answers to our questions is a person.

Is prayer important? Are there different types of prayer? What should I do if I struggle to pray? Pastor Ray responds to some of the topics, thoughts, and questions on Prayer submitted by us at Fellowship.

As we continue learning from Paul's first letter to the church in Corinth, Pastor Aaron helps us see that what we think about our bodies has a profound impact on how we live our lives as followers of Jesus.

How do we handle disputes within the church? As we continue to learn from Paul's first letter to the church in Corinth, Pastor Ray helps us see how we, as followers of Jesus, can handle disagreements and disappointments with one another in the church, and that maybe it is better to be wronged than to be right.

What happens when grace meets intentional sin within the church? This is the difficult question that Pastor Kwan helps us explore as we continue to learn from Paul's first letter to the church in Corinth.

What does it mean to be a Godly Leader and how does Jesus model that for us? As we continue to learn from Paul's first letter to the church in Corinth, Pastor Ray helps us see that the sign of a Godly Leader is to actually be a Servant, and that the ultimate example of a Godly Leader is Jesus.

What causes division in the church, and how can followers of Jesus seek unity in the midst of divisiveness? As we continue to explore Paul's first letter to the church in Corinth, Pastor Tim helps us see that Jesus' vision for the church is to be unified in Him, but that can only happen when our faith is built on Jesus as the firm foundation.

Is there really power in weakness? Pastor Barak helps us explore this question through the lens of the Cross as we continue to learn from Paul's first letter to the church in Corinth.

As we continue to grow as a church, it’s essential that we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, the only one who can make our church healthy and effective in sharing His life-giving message with others. Pastor Aaron begins our new message series as we journey through Paul's first letter to the church in Corinth and learn from the issues that threatened to tear their church apart back then.

We live in a world where evildoers prosper, and living with faithfulness and hope can seem a bit dry and unproductive at times, but as Pastor Kwan wraps up our series in the book of Malachi, we learn that with God, there is so much more in store for those who live in light of the Day of the Lord.

As we continue in our series in the book of Malachi, Pastor Ray helps us see that when it comes to our finances, we are either stealing from God or we are partnering with Him.

Have you ever asked the question, "where is the God of Justice?" Our Guest Speaker, Richard Coekin, helps us explore this question as we continue in our series in the book of Malachi.

You have almost certainly been in a relationship where promises have been broken, words did not mean much, and the relationship suffered. Anybody who's experienced this knows how painful and hurtful that can be. We have the image of perfect faithfulness in God. How does He respond to the unfaithfulness that plays out in our lives everyday and in so many ways? It's a tough question, but one we'll grapple with as we continue with Pastor Aaron in our series in the book of Malachi.

You've probably heard sayings like these before: God knows every hair on your head, He knew you while you were in the womb, He sees everything — past, present, and the infinite future, His understanding has no limit. But is there anything God doesn't know? Pastor Ray shares what he thinks in this special message from Psalm 139.

Wherever you go in this world, you can tell what people believe much more through the way they behave than the words they say. So what does that mean for a Community reshaped together by the resurrected Jesus? As Pastor Kwan brings our series in the book of Matthew to a close, he helps us see that Jesus not only showed us "the way," He lived it, and that our actions reveal who we think Jesus is.

Happy Resurrection! As we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ together, Pastor Ray reminds of Thomas' journey from doubt to faith, and that Jesus continues to turn doubters into believers even today

Pastor Bill reminds us about what it means for Good Friday to be "good" as we reflect on Christ's suffering on the cross together.

As we continue in our series in the book of Matthew, our scripture passage lines up perfectly with what christians all over the world celebrate as Palm Sunday. Pastor Ray helps us see what Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem means for us as a Community reshaped together by Him.

There is something that can spread faster in a community than a virus, and much more toxic—it is the need to be great. Jesus knew how collectively lethal and destructive this desire to be great can be, and He provides the one simple solution to prevent its spread. Pastor Bill helps us see what greatness means in a Community reshaped together by Jesus as we continue in our series in the book of Matthew.

Hard work deserves a fair wage - but what if someone received the same wage for working less? We all want life to be fair, but as we continue in our series in the book of Matthew, we see that God has created us to be filled with grace, and Pastor Ray reminds us that in a Community reshaped by Jesus, we can't take this grace for granted and default to a "works" mindset instead of God’s lavish generosity.

Money, status, and position have a way of grabbing our hearts and running away with our focus, and while there is nothing wrong with a rich Jesus-follower, Pastor Bill brings us an important warning as we continue in our series in the book of Matthew and learn that a Community reshaped by Jesus is filled with people of all backgrounds, like the children (who have little) and the rich (who have much).

When it comes to marital status, we usually belong to one of three categories: single, married, or divorced, and Pastor Kwan helps us see that Jesus has plenty to say to all three categories, as we continue in our series in the book of Matthew and learn what it means to be a Community reshaped together by Jesus.

This Sunday at SO/ Uptown, we are joined by renowned speaker and author Chip Ingram, CEO and teaching pastor of Living On The Edge, a ministry that exists to "help Christians live like Christians." In this message, Chip teaches us from the second part of his series titled "I Choose Joy", and through Philippians, Chapter 1, he encourages us to live above our circumstances and have joy in the midst of really difficult times.

When it comes to community, there's always one inevitability - conflict. But God already knows how conflict affects community, and as we continue in our series in the book of Matthew, Pastor Bill explains the two vital tools that can helps us navigate inevitable conflict as we continue to be reshaped together by His son Jesus in His Community.

Transformation is a profoundly beautiful thing. But where there is change, there is bound to be unchange, or what some may call backsliding i.e. to once again turn away from the life and choices that once brought transformation. As we continue in our series in the book of Matthew, Pastor Ray examines one of the most neglected passages in scripture as we discover Jesus' heart toward backsliders and how they can be reshaped together by Him in "Community".

Every community lives out the ideals of their leader. For us, that person is Jesus, and in this message Pastor Bill helps us discover what it means to be a people united by His life and teachings, and how we can be reshaped by Jesus in true humility in our new series, "Community".

We've all experienced situations where we simply say to ourselves "I'm not sure how I'm going to get through this". It can feel as hard as a brick wall, and even harder to imagine a way forward. As we continue in our series in the book of Matthew, Pastor Ray is going to continue to explore the question, "Who is Jesus?" and how He can turn brick walls turn into doors.

When you hear the word "GOAT", who do you think of? Have you ever thought of Jesus as the "Greatest Of All Time"? Pastor Bill helps us see the value in recognising and embracing the unparalleled greatness and authority that can only be seen in Him, as we continue in our series in the book of Matthew and explore together: "Who is Jesus?"

What does it look like to fully recognise who Jesus is on our most common and uneventful days, and truly live out genuine commitment to Him as our promised Messiah? Pastor Ray helps answer this question as we continue our series in the book of Matthew and ask the question: "Who is Jesus?"

We all have a picture of Jesus in our minds, and it's been moulded long before we ever intended by our churches, families, cultures, and experiences. But if you don't make the effort to truly examine Jesus, the picture you have may be adding layers of tradition, expectations, and even restrictions that are entirely false. Pastor Barak helps us discover that Jesus goes far beyond any framework or boundaries we placed Him in as we continue in our message series in the book of Matthew and ask the question: "Who Is Jesus?"

Jesus is the most profoundly transformational person who ever existed. But who really is Jesus? You might be aware of his reputation, but do you know the person? Pastor Bill helps us find the answer to these question as we begin the first series of the year in the second half of the Gospel of Matthew: "Who Is Jesus?"

Here's an important question that almost no one usually asks: Who will I become in 2025? It's not just an important question, but one that we believe Jesus really cares about because we are all becoming someone. Pastor Aaron helps us understand why this question will be so critical for all of us this year.

Each of us meets the new year in our own way. For some, it sparks hope and fresh beginnings, for others it brings worry with the weight of past burdens. But God invites us to continue to hope. To hope, not that life will become easier or that everything will turn out the way that we want, but to place our hope in Him, who is the author of our lives.

A special message from Pastor Ray at our Christmas Eve service.

It's said that Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, but what is it about Christmas that really makes it the most wonderful time of the year? What if there was a greater reason for the season of Christmas? And what if we could be assured of a heart filled with light and joy even when outside is a little gloomy? As we continue in our No Longer Alone series, Pastor Bill helps us see why Christmas really is the most wonderful of the year.

As we navigate this journey of life and faith, we can often place our trust in other things leading us to feel alone and afraid. But God promises that we are never truly alone. Despite our misplaced trust, God still offers a sign of deliverance through the birth of a child who will embody God’s presence with His people. God's promises make his presence, not just a distant concept but a tangible reality we can experience everyday!

The world is face to face with one of the greatest pandemic’s of humanity: loneliness. And we aren’t lonely simply because there isn’t anyone around us - we are lonely because sin isolates us. But God has a solution, and it's a promise that's been there since the beginning. Pastor Daniel walks us through the problem of "original sin" as we begin our Christmas message series, "No Longer Alone".

We declare God as the Sovereign Ruler and Provider over all good things in our lives. But if God owns everything, why does he need our money? Pastor Ray addresses this question as we enter into the season of giving.

We are hardwired for resolution. Everything inside us desperately yearns for redemptive closure. But for the Jesus follower, it's not as simple. As Faithful Foreigners, though we know fully well that climactic triumph awaits, evil continues to reign, in seemingly unstoppable ways. Pastor Bill helps us find the answer to this as we come to an end in our series in the book of Daniel.

How often do we pray to God seeking answers? How often do we hope those answers match a particular time frame? It's completely natural (and expected) for us to talk to God about things happening right now, but God's timeline is vastly different from ours - and so are His answers. However, there's one thing that's for certain - the answers we find in God's word always remain true. As we continue in our series in the book of Daniel, Pastor Kwan helps us learn how to pray as Faithful Foreigners.

We all encounter seasons and experiences in life where despite the fact that we know that God is - and will be - triumphant, we still ask ourselves "why are bad people winning right now?" Pastor Bill helps us understand how the Bible answers this dilemma for The Faithful Foreigner as we continue in our series in the book of Daniel.

Clear expectations can sometimes be the key to lasting relationships, and as we continue in our series in the book of Daniel, Pastor Ray helps illuminate a time when it was all about expectations for God's people in Babylon who were doing their best to remain Faithful as Foreigners until the end of the age.

What do others think about you - even those that see you from a distance? Sometimes living out what we believe can be challenging, especially when living our faith out loud doesn't quite fit the popular norm. In this message, Pastor Bill explores how Daniel, The Faithful Foreigner, lives out his faith in the original cancel culture, as we continue in our series in the book of Daniel.

Generational amnesia is very real. The circumstances, hardships, and lessons that profoundly shaped our fathers and mothers are not likely to sink deep if we don't experience them ourselves - at least not without a massive, intentional effort by those around us. As we continue in our series, The Faithful Foreigner, Pastor Ray discusses the story of king Belshazzar found in the book of Daniel and the lessons from his grandfather that went unheeded.

Lurking within all of us is pride, and if it is not rooted out, then something much worse comes afterward. Pastor Aaron talks about how we as Faithful Foreigners can deal with our problem of pride as we continue in our series in the book of Daniel.

Death is often referred to as the great equalizer - it finds everyone! And yet Jesus himself often communicates in a way that says don't worry about death - worry about the one who decides what happens afterwards! There are several accounts in the Bible where we see someone deeply convicted by this stance, and as we continue our series "The Faithful Foreigner" we will look at three Faithful Foreigners in the book of Daniel.

As we continue in our series in the book of Daniel, we see how the wise men of Babylon, Daniel, and his friends are caught up in a life-or-death situation. As the story unfolds we will see how a Faithful Foreigner responds in the face of the impossible.

The thing about being an expat is that we are fully immersed in an environment that may have different languages, customs, traditions, laws, agendas, and outlooks. But what happens when there are changes that represent an entirely different direction than our faith? Pastor Ray addresses this question as we begin a new message series called The Faithful Foreigner.

In this message, Pastor Bill provides an encouraging update on the mission of Fellowship, casts vision directly from church leadership, and forecasts the direction we are headed as we pursue God-led ambitions.

The future is never certain. Even the things we consider to be the absolute cornerstones of our earthly lives, like our careers, our personalities, our families, are surprisingly fragile. But in a life "W/God", we can be assured that our future is secure, and Pastor Ray helps us explore and understand this assurance as we conclude our series in the book of 1 John.
