Bible Teaching & Application for you to discover.
Jesus humbled himself so that we might be humbled before him. To humble ourselves under the Lord and give him all the glory.
The wise woman of Proverbs 31 is the exemplar of wisdom lived out, not a standard for women to pass. She works hard, is productive for her household and for the community at large. This is wisdom lived out to it’s maturity - a blessing to all around us.
Proverbs is full of teaching about how we use our tongue - either to build up or to destroy. Wise people use their words sparingly, lovingly and with great discretion
The battle between wisdom and foolishness is seen in our hearts, in our words and in the daily battles of work, finances, family life, and in our character. This is a community battle and one in which we need friends and comrades for the journey.
There are many voices that call us, sometimes our own that can deceive us; but the most trustworthy and unchanging voice is God.
Proverbs begins with a call to wisdom. The beginning of wisdom is in the fear of the Lord. True wisdom comes from God and is knit into the moral order of the Universe. Living wisely means living along the grain of what God says is.
God is eternal, humans are not because we live under God's wrath. Yet the short days of our lives should drive us to seek God and find joy and compassion in Him.
Part 2 of the season finale discussing money, being generous and everything in between, with Ping Mao and Wayne Shen.
Is it okay for us to heave wealth and to enjoy the fruits of our labour? Where is the intersection between work, wealth, enjoyment and giving?
A special 2 part episode where everyone leaves with more questions than answers. Join Zeke as he discusses the topics of rest and money with Ping Mao and Wayne Shen in this special season finale. (Mostly special because Zeke forgets to introduce his guests until the end).
What does it mean to be called to a job? Is it a job that suits our personality or something else? No job is better than another in God's eyes.
Aiming for huge goals and not achieving them, taking things a few steps slower, and what it looks like to not conform to pressures - this week we get to hear from Emily Berrios and some of her great stories figuring these things out. Have a listen!
Productivity is an obsesssion of our world but actually Jesus also expects us to be productive with out lives. The difference being that it's productivity for the sake of others and the sake of the Kingdom more than productivity for productivity's sake
This week April is back! Special guest Alvin Lai also joins us as we discuss work life balance, changing careers, being excellent or letting go, and how we all have a part to play in each other's lives following Christ.
For christians, the three big blocks of life are often work, church and family. How do we balance these and give enough to each of them?
Joanne Kwok joins the podcast this week to talk about how becoming a mum has reshaped her life's priorities, the joys and struggles of trying to calm inconsolable children and how we can all invest more into each other's lives as a spiritual family.
Chris Lawrence joins the podcast this week! Join us as we have a chat about counting our blessings each day, staying connected when disconnected, and recognising how God impacts the way we look at and do life each day.
Christ’s work means we have new boss, new goals, new reward. We now work under Jesus reflecting lives that are under Jesus no matter the job. What God cares about is about our godly character which should mould the culture we are in.
When is the right time to preach the gospel to our friends? What's it look like living godly lives in our spheres of influence? Join us as we discuss the "Work of the Lord".
Why should we labour for something that is ultimately vanity? The harvest is plentiful and the workers are few, yet we still have the privilege of harvesting wherever we are placed.
What frustrations do we experience at work? Does it ever help by changing jobs? Michael Freeman joins "The A to Z" as we have a chat about the paradox of joy and frustration.
As part of CPE’s Work sermon series - “Thank God It’s Monday”, join April and Zeke as they have a light-hearted chat with members of CPE about the sermon each week and swap stories figuring out how to live the christian life in all of their work.

Episode 1: Rest for our bodies. In this episode, we discuss how we need rest for our physical, created natures as embodied beings. Join us as we chat to Dr Eleasa Sieh, a GP, counsellor and member of the Christian Medical and Dental Fellowship, about how we need to consider our embodied nature as we think about rest. Eleasa is also the editor of Luke's Journey, which coincidentally, also has an edition out now on rest! You can find it here: https://lukesjournalcmdfa.
Join us on our exploration of the biblical idea of rest and how it forms the basis for a life free from the hurried, anxious, busyness that characterises modern day life. This is a podcast for those seeking to find rest from the weariness of life. It runs alongside our sermon series by the same title, which you can find on the CPE Podcast or on our Youtube channel. In this introduction, Matt and Iggy discuss why we get rest so wrong and how the bible can orient us toward true rest.
