Why Read The Bible?
An invitation to see Scripture not as an old religious text but as the living Word that reveals Jesus and draws believers into relationship with Him. It highlights how Scripture protects us from deception, exposes the enemy’s strategies, strengthens us against temptation, and equips us to navigate life with wisdom and clarity. Through vivid examples and biblical insight, the teaching shows how the Word shapes character, anchors identity, and becomes a lifelong source of guidance, joy, and spiritual resilience.
1 | Biblical Leadership
Drawing from God’s pattern of calling leaders, this message shows how His direction often requires a reordering of our location, our spiritual condition, and our priorities. Accepting God’s call touches time, talents, and resources, and often presses against personal comfort. True leadership begins with surrendering to God’s rearranging work so His purposes can take root.
10 | The Book Hebrews
Hebrews 13 gathers the book’s major themes into practical direction: love, hospitality, sexual integrity, contentment, honouring leaders, sacrificial praise, and life together under the New Covenant. The closing benediction roots all of it in the God of peace, who equips His people for every good work.
11 | The Book Romans

The Reality of Spiritual Warfare |Spiritual Warfare | Session 1
An invitation to step into the story of a movement that began with a handful of ordinary people and grew into a force that reshaped history. The introduction traces the sweep of the book of Acts, the spread of the gospel through the Roman world, and the remarkable way God used both miracles and messiness to build His church. Listeners are reminded that the same Spirit who empowered the first believers continues His work today, calling the church to live with courage, unity, and unwavering devotion to Jesus.
Operating in Your Sphere of Spiritual Authority |Spiritual Warfare | Session 6
Spiritual battles are fought safely and effectively when believers understand the boundaries God has assigned to them. This message explores the biblical idea of “sphere of authority,” showing how stepping beyond God-given influence can open the door to harm, while walking within His assignment brings protection, clarity, and power. Through Scripture and practical examples, Allan urges believers to discern where God has positioned them and to operate with humility, obedience, and spiritual attentiveness.
Dealing with Demons | Spiritual Warfare | Session 9
The demonic realm becomes less frightening and more understandable when viewed through Scripture rather than Hollywood. Allan explains what demons are, how they operate, and how Jesus confronted them with calm authority. He warns against both extremes—ignoring spiritual realities or obsessing over them—and emphasizes discernment, maturity, and confidence in Christ’s victory. Believers are reminded that deliverance rests not in human strength but in the authority of Jesus, the stronger One.
