Steve's Testimony

“ I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life .” (John 8:12) This was a statement of fact that Jesus was giving to those who were listening. This is a statement of truth for the whole world in the same way the law of gravity affects everyone on earth. In whatever hardship, darkness, frustration, emptiness, sadness, disillusionment, hop...

Have you ever felt that nobody was there? Have you ever felt forgotten in the middle of nowhere?  Have you ever felt that you could disappear and that you could fall and no-one hear? In our lives, there are moments we can feel lost, broken and alone. The Good News we are given by Jesus is NO MATTER where you are,  He sees you. Your voice is heard. You will be found.

This Sunday we begin a new sermon series that will take us into our summer months. The series is called, "Too Good to Keep Secret". Sometimes we can forget what makes the Gospel and our faith "Good News". We find ourselves keeping our faith to ourselves and sometimes feel that these are personal and private matters. But when we come across something amazing or life changing in...

To all our moms out there, we bless you and thank you for your faithfulness in the midst of all the sacrifices you've made to secure your children's health, growth and future hope. Here's to you! All moms and the rest of us can relate with Mother Teresa's quote above. Isn't it true that we sometimes feel our life lacks significance when we're so busy just getting the 's...

Money Matters. Let's all just be open and honest about it -- money is an extremely important part of our life. The Bible never says that money is evil ... but Paul did warn Timothy and the church that the  LOVE OF MONEY  is the root of all evil. P.T. Barnum, an American showman, businessman, and politician understood the power of money. Each of us have a choice to make about money. We either a...

We've heard the expression, " You gotta take what's yours ". In a world that is broken and driven by agendas that put " me-first ", it makes sense to pursue life in this way. We easily sympathize with this value because the world is a competitive place and you're not going to compete, then you're not getting anywhere. When we hang around this value long enough,...

I don't know when or how it developed, but I came to realize that my understanding of faith and what I could expect from God was astonishingly different than what Jesus would say and how He would insist we all live. There are times I sincerely believe I'm doing the right thing and I can't imagine God thinking otherwise. In fact, I would assume that God would be proud and endorse my pos...

Can we all relate with this quote?  "Everyone is ready to win, few are prepared." In whatever endeavour we find ourselves in, we all want the best result, but that also means we have to give it our all. Just because we want something to happen, doesn't mean that we'll get what we want.  This is perhaps one of the biggest stumbling blocks we experience in our relationship with God...

" Inflation is sticky "... I've been hearing this a lot lately as interest rates have risen to combat the stickiness of inflation. Many of us have felt the affects of inflation as our purchasing power has significantly diminished and our outlook on getting out of debt has turned grim. In the same way, " sin and the power of our idols are sticky ". We struggle and strive to...

Picture this: Jesus entering city centre to crowds cheering His appearance anticipating His power to give them what they want. What they don't know is that Jesus is there to give them what they really need and to do so He will give His life for each of them. This is what Palm Sunday is about.

Have you ever needed to get your car wheels aligned? Usually, when you get new tires, it's recommended you follow up with a wheel alignment to adjust to the new dimensions of the tires and make sure you're not putting in unnecessary effort in correcting a pull on your car. The same is true in our walk with Christ. As soon as God's Spirit does something new in our life, we need to make...
