This message speaks openly about seasons of illness, bereavement, and weakness, and about the reality of depression in our lives. Drawing from Scripture and personal encounters, Arthur speaks of clinical depression, and spiritual depression, which often arises from grief and prolonged trial. Throughout, he returns to the truth that God comforts His people in their affliction so that they may, in t...

As one year closes and another opens before us, many of us feel a mixture of anticipation and uncertainty. The calendar turns, but questions remain. What will 2026 hold for our families, our church, and our faith? In Joshua 1, God speaks into a moment very much like ours. Moses is gone. A new chapter has begun. The future feels weighty, and the responsibility before Joshua is enormous. Into that m...

Many people talk about having a bucket list, a collection of experiences they hope to enjoy before life is over. Often those lists are filled with travel dreams, personal achievements, or unforgettable moments. In Luke 2, we meet a man whose deepest hope was far simpler and far greater. Simeon was not waiting for an adventure or an accomplishment. He was waiting for a promise. Scripture tells us t...

The story of Christmas begins with an announcement, but not the kind we would expect. When God chose to make the birth of His Son known, He did not start in the halls of power or among the religious elite. Instead, His message broke into the quiet darkness of a field and reached a group of lowly shepherds. This unexpected choice tells us something important about the heart of God and the kind of k...

Every year as we approach the Christmas season, we hear Mary’s name spoken with a sense of wonder. Yet her story is not only a Christmas story. It is a picture of what a humble heart looks like when it encounters the living God. Luke 1:28-55 invites us to stand beside Mary as she meets an angel, visits a relative, and lifts her voice in praise. Each moment reveals a young woman whose obedience gro...

Joseph is one of the quietest figures in the story of Jesus, yet his steady obedience speaks with remarkable strength. In Matthew 1:18-25 we meet a man whose world has been shaken. Mary is found to be with child and Joseph must choose between his own reputation and obedience to the message of God delivered by an angel. He chooses obedience and takes Mary as his wife. His silent trust shows faith t...

When we open the Gospel of Matthew we are greeted not by a story but by a list of names. At first glance the genealogy in Matthew 1 may seem ordinary. Yet behind these names stand stories filled with the grace of God. Matthew does something surprising by including four women in a genealogy that usually focuses on men. Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba appear as bright testimonies of God’s mercy an...

Worshipping God with the ordinances begins with a simple yet profound truth. God has given baptism and communion as gifts that reveal His grace and call His people to respond with faith and devotion. These are not empty rituals. They are moments in which believers meet God through symbols that point to real salvation and real fellowship with Christ. Baptism is an act of worship because it declares...

Preaching is one of the most sacred moments in the life of the church because it brings God’s Word to God’s people. At its centre stands the Bible itself. Scripture is not ordinary speech. Instead, it is the living voice of the Lord who created us, saved us through Christ, and speaks to us by the Spirit. When the Bible is opened and read, God reveals His truth, convicts the heart, strengthens fait...

Money touches nearly every part of our lives. It can meet needs, provide comfort, and offer opportunities, yet it can also tempt our hearts toward greed, pride, or fear. Because of this, the way we handle money is never just a financial issue; it is a deeply spiritual one. Jesus taught that where our treasure is, there our hearts will be also. When we give, save, spend, and steward our resources i...

Prayer is one of the most powerful ways God’s people come together to worship Him. When believers unite their hearts in prayer, they demonstrate their shared faith, dependence, and love for the Lord. Throughout Scripture, God’s people gathered to seek His face together. The early church devoted themselves to prayer as one body, and God responded by filling them with His Spirit and guiding their mi...

Sunday morning’s message comes from Isaiah 61—the same passage Jesus used to announce His ministry:  “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor and to bind up the brokenhearted.”  The Hebrew word for “brokenhearted,”  Leb Shabar,  paints a vivid picture of something shattered or crushed to pieces. We all know what that feels like—through loss, gu...

Worship is far more than a moment in a service; it is a heartfelt response to who God is and what He has done. When the church gathers on a Sunday morning, worship through music is one of the most powerful ways we express that response together. Good worship is not about performance, style, or personal preference. It is about directing our hearts, minds, and voices toward God in reverence, gratitu...

Psalm 96 is a joyful invitation that resounds across the earth, calling every person, tribe, and nation to worship the Lord. It begins with the words, “Sing to the Lord a new song,” and continues by urging all creation to proclaim His glory among the nations. Worship in this Psalm is not confined to one people or one place. It is a universal summons to acknowledge the greatness, beauty, and author...

Every person is created to worship. The question is not whether we worship, but whom and how we worship. In John 4:19-26, Jesus speaks with a Samaritan woman at the well about one of the greatest questions of life: how do we truly worship God? She points to the age-old debate between Jews and Samaritans about the right place to worship, but Jesus lifts her eyes to a greater truth. True worship is...

Guest Speaker: John Brown Scripture: Mark 10:46-52 Bartimaeus was able to change a whole city for two very simple reasons: • he knew where he had been, • and he knew what Jesus had done to bring him from there "Power of One" —one man, one heartfelt cry, and one word from Christ resulting in complete change—culminating in Bartimaeus using his restored sight not to return to his former lif...

Worship is often thought of as something that happens in a church building on a Sunday morning. We sing, we pray, and we listen to God’s Word. All of that is truly worship, but it is only a small part of what God desires from His people. In Romans 12:1-2, Paul reminds us that worship is not confined to a place or a moment. Instead, worship is the offering of our entire lives to God. He calls us to...

Whether we realize it or not, every person on earth is a worshipper. Worship is not limited to Sunday mornings or religious gatherings. It is built into the fabric of our humanity. God created us to adore, to honour, to give our hearts to something greater than ourselves. The question is not if we worship, but what or whom we worship. Some lift their eyes to the living God who made heaven and eart...

Work is something every one of us knows well. From the time we are young, we are given chores, responsibilities, and tasks. As we grow older, the responsibilities increase with jobs, families, and the daily duties of life. Yet how we approach our work reveals much about our hearts. Are we diligent, faithful, and responsible? Or do we look for shortcuts, doing the bare minimum, hoping someone else...

Guest Speaker: Adib from The Jesus Network Three points to remember: 1 - For since we believe 2 - For this we declare (Rapture day) 3 - For the Lord will descend

The Gospel never advances without opposition, which is why Paul urges the Thessalonians in 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5 to pray. We must pray for missionaries—that God’s word would spread powerfully and that His servants would be protected from those who resist the truth. Yet Paul also reassures us: “The Lord is faithful.” He will strengthen us and guard us from the evil one. Our perseverance does not re...

When the storms of life rage and the pressures of this world grow stronger, it can be tempting to waver in our faith. But Paul’s words in 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17 call us to something different. He invites us to stand firm, not in our own strength, but in what God has already done for us. This passage reminds us that salvation is the work of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. In the past, Go...

We live in a world that feels increasingly unstable—wars, moral confusion, political upheaval, and relentless spiritual opposition. In such times, it is easy to lose our footing, to become fearful or distracted. The believers in Thessalonica faced a similar challenge. False teachers had crept in, spreading the lie that the “day of the Lord” had already come. Confusion was clouding their hope, and...

We live in a world where injustice often goes unpunished, where the wicked seem to prosper, and the righteous suffer. But the Bible assures us that this will not be the case forever. A day is coming when Jesus Christ will return—not in humility as a suffering servant, but in blazing glory as the righteous Judge. On that day, every wrong will be made right, and every hidden motive will be revealed....
