Join us live as we kick off a brand new series in the book of 1 Peter. Today we’re talking about what it means to be chosen by God—not just in general, but specifically for this time and place. In a world that’s growing more hostile to the gospel, what does it look like to stand firm, stay obedient, and live with a real, living hope? We’ll look at how Peter encouraged early Christians who were sca...

In part two of our “Devoted” series, we’re talking about prayer — not as a ritual, but as a real relationship with God. If being devoted to the Word is like food for our soul, then prayer is like the air we breathe. In this message, we look at how prayer is rooted in relationship, sustained by structure, and strengthened by Scripture. We also get honest about why prayer can be tough — distractions...

This message kicks off a 2-part series called *Walking with God*, starting with how a steady walk begins with devotion to the Word. We look at Enoch’s life – a man who “walked with God” – and break down what that means for us today. With culture pushing hard against Biblical truth, we’re reminded that we can’t walk with God if we’re ignoring or compromising His Word. This sermon walks through thre...

What kind of joy survives hard seasons? In this Advent message, we talk about a joy that isn’t fake, fragile, or seasonal. It’s not rooted in comfort or distraction—but in Christ. Christian joy is different because it’s rooted in redemption, shaped by suffering, and guarded by the Spirit. Whether you’re feeling hopeful or hanging by a thread, this message is for you.

The world offers a kind of love that depends on how useful, lovable, or successful we are. But that’s not the kind of love we see in scripture. In this Advent message, we talk about a love that isn’t fragile or temporary—a love that was promised from the very beginning, arrived in the person of Jesus, and is still meant to be received and lived out today. God’s love doesn’t react to our worthiness...

The world keeps offering new sources of hope—leaders, products, plans—but they never hold. They leak. In this message, we kick off our new series What The World Can’t Give with a look at hope that doesn’t fade. This kind of hope isn’t based on circumstances, emotions, or effort. It’s a gift from God—breaking into our darkness, anchoring us through storms, and coming to us in Person. Jesus doesn’t...

In this message, we look at the story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch and talk about what it means to live out our faith with boldness. Philip was obedient when God said “go,” he knew the Scriptures when asked, and he showed the Ethiopian man what it meant to follow Jesus. This story pushes us to ask if we’re ready to share our faith, whether we’ve been doing it for years or haven’t started yet...

In this third message of our "GO" (evangelism) series, we talk about where true boldness actually comes from. It’s not about being outgoing or having the right words — it’s about depending on the power of God. We’ll look at four key truths that help us understand how to live and speak boldly for Christ in everyday life. If you’ve ever felt too timid, too weak, or too stuck to share your faith, thi...

In Part 2 of our “GO” series, we look at the Apostle Paul’s unshakable confidence in the gospel – even while in prison. Why was he so bold? Because he knew what the gospel is, what it does, and what it demands. This message walks through those three realities, calling us to embrace and share the good news without shame. Whether you’re a new believer or you’ve known the Lord for decades, this messa...

This week we launch our new series with a message titled “For Such a Time as This.” We’re kicking things off by exploring how God has sovereignly placed each of us—where we are and when we are—for His gospel purposes. Just like Esther, we’ve been positioned with intention. In this message, we unpack what it looks like to recognize God’s placement, respond with intentionality, and reflect Christ’s...

Guest speaker Ken McDonald shares his 30 years experience on personal and corporate worship.

“Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” 2 Corinthians 9:7

In this message, we explore what Paul meant by “praying always with all prayer” in Ephesians 6 Vs 18. Prayer isn’t just a tool—it’s the whole atmosphere of our spiritual fight. It’s how we stay protected, go on the offensive, and stay connected to our Commander. Using the images of a Wall, a Spear, and a Signal Flag, this sermon challenges us to become people who intercede for others, boldly ask G...

This Thanksgiving Sunday, we’re not just giving thanks for the stuff on the table — we’re thankful for the Word of God, our spiritual weapon. In this message from Ephesians 6 Vs 17, we look at why the Bible is called “the Sword of the Spirit” and how we’re meant to use it. Jesus fought temptation with Scripture, not clever comebacks. We’re called to do the same — not just owning a Bible but knowin...

In this message, we’re talking about the last piece of God’s armor — the helmet of salvation. It’s not just about protection; it’s about perspective. When your mind is covered in truth, your whole life changes. From Romans 8, we see how this helmet renews your mind, reframes your suffering, and restores your confidence. You’ll walk away from this sermon knowing how to think like someone who’s been...

Paul describes faith as a shield large enough to cover the believer completely, able to quench the fiery darts of the enemy. Hebrews 11 shows faith as both the foundation of our hope and the evidence of unseen realities. In this sermon, we see how worship fireproofs our shield, the Word enlarges it, and trust strengthens it. Saul treated worship, the Word, and trust as tools for his own gain, whil...

Worship isn’t just music before the message — it’s a battle cry. In this sermon, we walk through what it means to approach worship as warfare, under three headings: preparation, participation, and posture. Worship prepares our hearts, builds up the body, and pushes back darkness. Through Scripture-saturated singing and whole-body surrender, the church stands strong in the fight of faith. This is n...

This week’s message is all about the spiritual battle we’re in and how the gospel equips us to stand strong, move forward, and keep going. Paul says to put on the whole armour of God, and part of that is lacing up our gospel shoes. These aren’t just any shoes—they’re made from the preparation of the gospel of peace. They help us hold our ground, take new ground, and stay grounded when the world ge...

In this message, we’re looking at what it means to “put on the breastplate of righteousness.” It’s not just about protection—it’s about identity, direction, and grit. The righteousness we wear isn’t our own, but the righteousness of Jesus given to us by faith. That righteousness guards our hearts from shame and accusation, guides us in how we live each day, and gives us the grit to keep going, eve...

Psalm 90 reminds us of life’s brevity and the call to live with wisdom. This sermon, Making Life Count, reflects on how to number our days and find meaning before God.

Paul tells believers to “gird your waist with truth” as part of the armour of God. The belt of truth is not optional—it is what binds life together, builds inner strength, and brands us as belonging to Christ. Without truth we unravel, weaken, and lose our witness. With truth we stand firm.

This week’s message, “Armour Up,” is all about standing firm in a spiritual fight that’s real, even if we can’t see it. From the lies we hear to the battles we face in our hearts and homes, the Bible says there’s a bigger war going on behind the scenes. Paul tells us in Ephesians that the Christian life isn’t just about blessings and walking right — it’s also about standing strong when things get...

This message takes a look at “eye-service” — obeying or working hard only when someone’s watching. Using a story about a sneaky dog named Colby, we see how easily we can live for human approval instead of serving God from the heart. Ephesians 6 Vs 5-9 calls us to a higher standard: working with sincerity, knowing that the Lord is always watching. From biblical examples like Joseph to practical ste...

In this message, we look at God’s blueprint for the family found in Ephesians 6:1-4. Paul gives clear direction to both children and parents: children are called to obey and honour, while parents are called to lovingly raise their children in the training and instruction of the Lord. We’ll see how obedience brings blessing, why honour matters just as much as action, and how parents can avoid provo...

This week, we looked at what biblical love and respect look like inside a marriage—and how marriage itself points us to Christ and His Church. Paul doesn’t give a theoretical lesson; he gets practical about what it means to walk in wisdom and mutual submission. Husbands are called to lead by loving like Jesus, and wives are called to respect in a way that mirrors the Church's trust in Christ. Marr...
