Fellowship Dubai

Who is influencing you? Pastor Ray explores this important question as we go back to perhaps the first problem of the entire Bible - The Fall.

Pastors Bill and Barak have an in-depth conversation about what it means for a man to leave his parents and be united with his wife from Genesis 2, and what that means for different cultures.

Have you ever felt confused with what it means to be human? With all of our differences, there are profound realities that define humanity. Pastor Bill helps us find clarifying answers to some of our biggest questions as we continue our Origins series.

Can the Bible and science overlap? Can we actually see a connection between science and Genesis 1-2? And how many different views of creation are there? These are some of the questions Pastor Ray and David Hagar talk about in this conversation.

To a world that which thinks we come from nothing and end up as nothing Genesis 1 tells us we were created with purpose by a God who seeks to bless us for his glory.

In life we see and hear many warnings that are meant to keep us safe. Some warnings are more cautionary and come across more like good “suggestions.” But others are very serious and are a matter of life and death! At the end of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gives four serious warnings for those who would seek to follow Him and be part of his Kingdom.

Judging is something every single one of us do everyday. In fact, mere seconds after seeing a stranger or meeting someone new, we've already made several. Our brains are lazy and designed to take shortcuts, and judging is one of them. For something that comes very easy to us, how can it be we are instructed not to judge? Pastor Ray walks us through a seemingly impossible task in this message of our current series Our King, His Kingdom.

Do you often wonder in a worrisome way about things? What if I lose my job, or don't get one? What if my family is not doing well? What if I'm not actually headed down the right path in life? The thing about anxiety is that it can consume our lives without us knowing. Jesus has something to say about all our What Ifs.

Have you noticed changes in Dubai recently? More housing developments? More traffic? More malls? Yes, things are definitely changing here and at Fellowship, we've come to recognise this is an incredible opportunity. For what? Pastor Bill talks us through this opportunity along with some very relevant updates about Vision 2023.

It's the very thorniest of topics: Divorce and Remarriage. And even worse it's often a topic that's fraught with pain, guilt and shame from the past. Lucky for us, Jesus was asked about this very topic, and Pastor Ray will help us walk through this as he continues the Our King, His Kingdom message series.

It's time to tackle something that to many might seem a bit cliche in comparison: loving your enemies. What you may discover is that this one can hit home the deepest...and for the most.

How comfortable are you talking about lust? Why does this deep desire that God placed within all of us sometimes feel so shameful to talk about? It doesn't have to be shameful - especially when you dwell on how Jesus spoke about lust. Pastor Bill tackles this difficult topic as we continue in our series Our King, His Kingdom.

Your anger might not be the explosive, intense kind that we associate with angry people. Perhaps it's calm, cunning, or just cruel in a passive way. But don't be mistaken - Jesus himself warns us that all anger must be dealt with so it doesn't turn into sin. Pastor Ray reveals the truth about anger as we continue in the series Our King, His Kingdom.

If you have ever moved to a new country, you can relate to the process of discovering a whole new set of rules. Housing contracts, government services, how to drive - so much of your life will be different to how it was back home. The very first disciples wrestled with these exact same questions as they entered into a whole new kingdom. We will talk about what they discovered as Pastor Barak continues our message series Our King, His Kingdom.

To follow Jesus and his teachings is to recognise that most of what we learn from the world about how to live our lives is upside-down. If you want to live with Jesus as your King, be prepared to encounter one of the most profound teachings he gave as Pastor Bill Koogler continues the series Our King, His Kingdom.

When Jesus calls on us to repent it's not simply turning from sin and turning to God. It specifically focuses on a relationship with Jesus. And not just a relationship, but a relationship on his terms. And it's so personal and eternal. As Pastor Ray continues the Our King, His Kingdom series, we will see that we get to follow Jesus all the way into eternity.

Are you ready for the barrage of temptations headed your way? The good news is, you are not alone. We all struggle with doing what we don't want to do, we all live face to face with temptations...even Jesus was tempted. Pastor Bill Koogler unpacks Jesus' temptations and what that means for victorious living for us as we continue in our series Our King, His Kingdom.

"Repent" is a loaded word for many. For some it means brimstone and fire preachers - for others street picketers and rallies. And for many, it's just too churchy. But there's no getting away from its presence in the very earliest days of Jesus' ministry. Pastor Ray helps us understand why repentance is important as he continues the Our King, His Kingdom series.

What makes someone great? Is it character? What they've accomplished? The obstacles they've overcome?Think about this: there's a king so great that foreign dignitaries go to great lengths just to see him; so great that he fulfills prophecies considered ancient; so great he made mighty rulers afraid of tiny toddlers.

Following the celebrations of the birth of our saviour, we are eager to launch our new message series “Our King, His Kingdom.” This week we will kick off with the understanding of who our King is. Most importantly, we see right from the very beginning the King came because God keeps his promises – and even at the moment the King arrives, He makes a new promise.

What do you want in this life? What is it you're truly seeking? As Pastor Tim wraps up the The King Has Come message series, we'll discover, through a short little man who climbed a tree, that the answer to this question doesn't matter all that much.

True Freedom. Here's a phrase that can mean a lot of different things depending on who you are and where you're coming from. The concept of freedom is born out of bondage, and there's only one thing that truly binds us here on earth - Satan. The question is, once we experience freedom in Jesus, what exactly are we freed to do?

It's December which means Christmas is coming! We can feel the excitement as we build toward Christmas and look forward to discussing the greatest gift we will ever receive.

Get in, get your money, and get out. Even if you aren't familiar with this widespread mentality of life in the Middle East, you are deeply affected by it. You are surrounded on all sides by a society united by this goal, which is often disguised in much more eloquent terms. Discover a different way to view the fruit of your labour as Pastor Barak brings us part 5 of the Whatever You Do series.

When it comes to work, you could argue that Dubai is a city that never rests. The problem with that is ever since the beginning there was a work rest rhythm built into the very fabric of creation. Many of us are managing the work part decently - it's the rest part that needs a little fine tuning. Pastor Ray talks about this in depth this Sunday as he continues with week 4 of the Whatever You Do message series.

Regardless of culture, we spend a lot of time thinking about our jobs and careers. Is there where I want be? What's next? Even as children we've all been asked "what do you want to be when you grow up?" The fact is, the Bible has almost nothing to say about what we do. We'll discover that God's word is much more concerned with how we do it, as Pastor Warwick continues with week 3 of the Whatever You Do series.

There's no way around it: whether you're working your dream job, unemployed, or just on a stepping stone...sometimes work just sucks. The good news is that God's word provides the answer to what exactly we can do about that. Join us as Pastor Bill brings us week two of the Whatever You Do series.

You'll probably spend 90,000+ hours of your life doing work. It's a massive - and for many the biggest - part of our life. Isn't time we think about what God thinks of it? Spoiler Alert: It's meaningful - it's just not the meaning of life.

How do you feel when confronted by the demonic? It's easy to feel powerless; they're cosmic powers and spiritual forces of evil. In the last message of our ExtraORDINARY Life series, Pastor Warwick will talk to us about spiritual warfare and how "standing" plays a bigger part than we think.

As we continue our series ExtraORDINARY Life, we talk through the question of "What does it mean to be filled by the Spirit as parents and children?" God's plan is to bring all things under Christ and that includes our family. We may not all may be parents or have children but we all have parents and we are all children.

Submission - not a popular word in the world of modern marriage and gender roles! You break out this word and some won't even finish the conversation with you. Yet it's precisely this word that God has chosen to weave into one of the most direct passages on marriage in the entire Bible - Ephesians 5:15-33. A closer look at this passage will reveal exactly how men can love their wives "like Christ loved the church; why submission is NOT a 4-letter word; and how singles play such a crucial role in all of this.

The Bible tells us that if you’re walking in step with Jesus – and taking it seriously – then the way you live and function WILL stand out. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Not everyone's going to like this, but that's okay. In fact, it's much more than okay - it's part of what makes following Jesus a life that's most extraordinary.

The creator of the universe, and of ourselves, is a God of connection. That means turning our backs on Him can only mean one thing - disconnection, and ultimately, a hard heart. In this third message of the ExtraORDINARY Life series, Pastor Bill Koogler goes into depth about the stinkiest, smelliest part of humanity.ABOUT THIS MESSAGE SERIESSomething extraordinary is always just over the horizon or around the corner.

It's actually not about our plans - it's about how they fit into God's and His great purposes.

The moment that we become followers of Jesus, Satan puts a target on our back. We aren't merely citizens of a new Kingdom - we're soldiers. And we have an advantage that will cause even the prince of darkness to flee.
