Fellowship Dubai

In today's world, things that define "living successfully" or "victoriously" are widespread and varied, coming at us from all different angles. But as believers, we know Jesus is the key to living "life to the fullest". Pastor Bill helps us unlock the secret to living a victorious life "W/God" as we continue exploring the book of 1 John.

The word fear is referenced over 500 times in the Bible, but how does fear connect with God? Pastor Tim helps us see how walking with "W/God" can lead to a life without fear as we continue exploring the book of 1 John.

There is something staggering about the complete assurance we have of Jesus' glory descending on us at the time when we all need it most: standing in judgement. But actually, there's a side of this assurance that visibly occurs through our lives here on earth, and is something living and tangible, present in the life of every true believer. Pastor Ray helps us discover this unmistakable sign of the assurance we have through a life "W/God" as we continue to explore the book of 1 John.

Every single day, you are being shaped more and more. But what is responsible for that shaping? The answer to that question can be humbling: everything. Everything we consume, experience, and reflect on is shaping us. We are being discipled by the things and voices that we choose to put in our lives, whether we believe it or not. So what are you putting into your life? Pastor Daniel helps us see how a life "W/God" can shape us into being the people God wants us to be as we continue to explore the book of 1 John.

Pastor Ray talks about the one thing that you simply cannot do while loving God at the same time as we continue to explore what life "W/God" looks like through the book of 1 John.

Have you ever thought to yourself: What am I doing here? How did I get to this place in life? Where am I actually going? For most people, these may be hard-hitting questions but the answer to many of these emotions can be summed up in one word: assurance. As we continue to explore the book of 1 John, Pastor Kwan helps us see the assurance we have when we live our lives "W/God" in His light.

As expats, many of us have experienced the loss of a meaningful relationship simply because one of us relocated and as a result of that we may sometimes wonder if it is even worth investing in a relationship if they (or I) are just going to move soon. Pastor Bill helps us see the true richness of life and community "W/God" in our new series as we explore the book of 1 John.

If God is the father we wish we had, and Jesus is the older brother we're glad we have...then who is the Holy Spirit to us? Comforter, intercessor, counsellor, advocate - the Holy Spirit's role in the Christian faith can vary from person to person, and from church to church. As we come to an end with the Father. Son. Spirit. One. series, Pastor Ray helps us understand our relationship with the third member of the Trinity.

Jesus isn’t just a historical figure. He is the very centre of our faith and the key to our relationship with God. As we continue in our Father. Son. Spirit. One. message series, Pastor Bill helps us explore how Jesus, fully God and fully man, relates to the Father, the Spirit, and us.

As we continue in our message series on The Trinity, Pastor Ray explores how God reveals the essence of true community through the perfect relationship within The Trinity and how it translates to the beautiful relationship we have with God.

n our new message series, "Father. Son. Spirit. One.", Pastor Bill explores the deep and beautiful relationship we have with God in light of the mystery of The Trinity and how it actually helps us better understand God, while also tackling some of the difficult questions we may have about The Trinity.

Whether you know it or not, there are a handful of things you value most that you are pursuing with your life. But for many of us, sometimes what we say we value, and what we actually pursue aren't always the same things, and in this message Pastor Daniel explores this phenomenon as he closes out the Here & Now message series.

Injustice. It's awful, tragic, infuriating - and something we will never be able to escape in this world. Today, every living soul on earth will experience, or at least witness, some form of it or another. But as believers, we know a day is coming where every wrong will be made right, and justice - perfect justice - will triumph. But where does that leave us in terms of living with it now? Pastor Ray explores this difficult question as he continues the Here & Now message series.

Jesus is the master at telling a good story. He used everyday things to communicate spiritual truth, and these often came in the form of parables. As we continue in our Here & Now series, Pastor Tim will dive in one particular parable, which Jesus claims if you don’t understand this one, you won't understand the rest.

When you declare Jesus as your Lord, Saviour, and King, something powerful happens. The bonds that tie together this community of followers is thicker than blood, as those who walk in his Kingdom are part of the family no matter what background, tribe, or history; and it's a family Jesus invites everyone to. However, Pastor Ray shares with us how crossing the line into the family of Jesus may represent some significant and life-altering consequences as continues our Here & Now series.

What the word "Sabbath" mean for you? For some, it might mean a restful day of the week, while for others it may immediately bring to mind rigid and inflexible traditions. As a follower of Christ, it can be confusing to know where to land in regards to this particular spiritual law but Pastor Bill helps us see how Sabbath has more to do with our relationship with God than a rule to follow as he continues the Here & Now message series.

Doubt is something that unites us all. Everyone one of us have experienced moments, and for some entire seasons, of extreme doubt. And for those who follow Jesus, these emotions can very easily cast a spotlight on the one who we rest our hope in. Those thoughts might sound something like "Are you the one, Jesus?" and Pastor Barak unpacks this question as we return to the Here & Now message series for a second season!

God, why is this happening? God, why is this happening to my friend? God, why isn't this happening in my life? In this final phase of our walk through the book of Job, Pastor Bill helps us make sense out of any question that begins with the words: God Why. If you have ever thought any of these questions, or something like them, in your head then you will not want to miss this message.

Having a trustworthy friend for advice and insight may be one of the most underrated gifts in life. It often plays a much deeper role in the complex journey of life's decisions - just ask anyone who's gone through a season without a single reliable person to speak with. In this message, Pastor Bill talks about someone who went through a similar season as we continue with our series: God Why.

Have you ever witnessed, or worse yet experienced, suffering on such an intense level that it's left you simply uttering the words, "God, why?" That's exactly the question we're exploring in our new series in the book of Job.

Anyone can talk religiously, but only those truly changed by God can live transformed lives. The pull of the world is so great that there is only one power that can truly enable Jesus followers to live out the grace that has moved us from death to life. Jesus changes everything and opens up eternal life that produces new people - so what does that look like in 2024? Are we devoted to good and godly works, or are we caught up in the rat race of expat survival like everyone else?

In this special Easter Sunday Message, Pastor Bill talks about how the Resurrection of Jesus Reconnects us with God and Restores our Relationship, Trust and Purpose in Him.

In this special Good Friday Message and time of Communion, Pastor Ray helps us reflect on the love and passion of Jesus displayed on the cross through the lens of Romans 5.

How can we, sinners by our very nature, exist in a relationship with an incredible God who is holy and perfect? And how could we spend eternity together with God? Pastor Ray helps us explore how such a relationship can not only exist, but actually be made perfect - and what that means for us now.

Just as God instructed the Israelites to remember the Passover, we are reminded of the sacrifice of Christ, our ultimate Passover Lamb. His blood, shed for us, serves as our protection and salvation, cleansing us from sin and offering eternal life to all who believe. As we continue our series "The Red Thread", Pastor Daniel encourages us to never forget the significance of His sacrifice and stay steadfast in our faith, trusting in His unfailing love and promises.

750,000 words. 1,189 chapters. 66 books. The Bible can seem at times to be a reference manual for life, but it's actually one complete story masterfully written throughout thousands of years to point humanity to the one true God who saves. We see a common theme of God at work for his glory and our good; a thread that ties stories together in an arc of epic intrigue. The thread is unbreakable, no matter how hopeless the situation may seem. Pastor Bill begins our Easter lead up series titled The Red Thread.

Self-Control. It's safe to say this phrase is a value that is neither prioritised nor celebrated by most of society in this day and age. However, you may be surprised to discover that there's one key thing that can unlock the challenge of self-control. Pastor Ray talks us through that key element as we continue in The Good Life series.

Do you remember the first time you heard fake news? It's a problem as old as the Bible. In this message, Pastor Bill shares about the earliest false teachers, and the real route to sound and good doctrine, as we continue in The Good Life series.

John Maxwell once said "everything rises and falls on leadership." In this message, Pastor Ray talks about what kind of Leadership God wants as we begin a new series called "The Good Life".

What is it about Jesus that can leave us so tongue-tied? Pastor Bill discusses this ugly truth and the one misconception many of us have that leads to it in the final message of the Here & Now series.

Have you ever been tasked with something, and you completely fumbled it? How do you prepare for the next time? What lessons do you take from your fumble? Jesus gave his disciples one assignment - a task if you will - in His authority and asked them to accomplish His task for Him? They did a rather good job with it. Then Jesus extended the task to us. In this message, Pastor Ray talks us through how not to fumble it as he continues the Here & Now series.

"The struggle is real" might be overused, yet it's something we all relate to on one level or another. But how does Jesus respond to suffering? Pastor Bill explores this question as he continues the Here & Now series.

Counting the cost of something may not be something you think of often, but in practice we do it all the time. The question is, when is the last time you've counted the cost of following Jesus? Pastor Ray helps address this question as we continue in our series Here & Now.

In this day and age where we are so used to clickbaity claims, why do we so often still check it out? In this message, Pastor Bill talks through the greatest claim of all time and, better yet, how it actually came through and delivered.

Join us this week at Two Seasons as we listen to a story that Jesus shares about a father who two lost sons. We will see how he deals with them - and perhaps even see ourselves written into the same story.

Nothing brings everything into focus like the end of one thing, or the beginning of another. This Sunday, we come to the end of a year, and most of us will be once again asking questions about who we would like to become.

A "bucket list" consists of things people determine they must do or experience before their last breath on earth! Often times they include traveling to far flung destinations, getting out of debt, or sky diving. But one thing's for sure - it's always a list. In this message, Pastor Ray argues there's only one thing that truly belongs on a bucket list, and once you know, you'll never forget it.

With January just around the corner, you will inevitably begin hearing about resolutions for the new year - and MANY of them will be fitness and strength related. That's because we are in a generation that is intensely self-aware of individual weakness. If this is something you ever find yourself dwelling on, then this message is for you.

It's about that time year again where we start hearing some familiar phrases at every turn: Glad Tidings; Good News; Great Joy. Perhaps you've heard these phrases all your life, but never had a chance to truly reflect on what they mean. What exactly is the good news? And why exactly should it cause great joy? Pastor Daniel gets straight to the heart of these questions as he launches our end-of-year series Joy to the Whole World.

While suffering is a daily occurrence around the world, we are experiencing a particularly heavy season of suffering in the media spotlight. Many may find themselves questioning a God who is "all powerful" and yet let's this happen. Or maybe he can't stop it because he's not all powerful - a tempting thought to many.

One incredible blessing of being part of the Fellowship family is the rich multi-cultural environment present at every gathering, and truly stamped into our identity. And yet, the Christian faith that binds us all started within one single culture.

There's something inside humanity that naturally fears change but in reality, we most likely don't fear change...we fear loss. Change is inevitable, but the good news is that change is fundamental to growth in the Christian faith. And when that change is positive, it's transformation.

Regardless of our past or present actions, origins, or the world's perception of us, we hold significance to God. Look closely and you will consistently see God surpassing expectations to connect with you.

Sometimes, the greatest hindrance to people coming to God is religion - and religious people. But in the Book of Acts, Stephen beautifully illustrates God's desire for a close connection with His people, not a rigid system or lifeless religion. God wants to be both your God and friend through a personal relationship.

In this special message, Pastor Ray teaches from Isaiah 6 and encourages us to fear the Lord so that we can serve without fear.

Almost all believers could probably agree that meeting Jesus face to face would most definitely have an effect on our behaviour. But can you imagine openly sinning against him while he's looking right at you? Pastor Ray talks about the ways that we could possibly be doing this much more often than we think, as we continue the series Love Follow Share Jesus.

Imagine possessing the ability to know just what to say when faced with great opposition? Opening your mouth and the right words come out? What if every time opposition came, you saw the opportunity in it? Peter and John faced opposition - and used that opportunity to glorify God. What can we learn from them?

People singing, dancing and praising God - what a beautiful image, right? What about seeing someone do it after being crippled for 40 years? How much would you thank God after witnessing something like that in the flesh? Could you imagine not doing that? Well it happened, and it still does, and it's a problem. We are exploring Acts 3 in this message with Pastor Ray.

You can be part of the biggest gym, have a million followers, or the most prestigious country club membership...you can still find yourself lonely and longing for community (especially in Dubai!). In this message, Pastor Bill talks about something that can deeply satisfy our longing for connection and community. In fact, we look at one of the earliest examples of "going viral" ever recorded.
