This morning's message focuses on the call for the church to 'arm themselves' with the same attitude of Jesus Christ... who suffers in the body... in order for us to receive the abundance of life. to watch the whole service just click the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V86j56JoH4Q&t=4s

We continue our study of 1 Peter 3 as we look at vs.14-16 and the three conjunctions that exhort us to live in submission to the Lord Jesus. 'But even...' (v.14) regardless of the circumstances - 'But in...' (v.15) revere Christ in your heart - 'But do...' (v.15) resembling Jesus in godly attitude & conduct. May you be blessed as you learn of the Lord from the scriptures. to watch the whole se...

Today we look at the passage of scripture that revolves around the scriptural mandates for 'Wives (vs.1-6)' & 'Husbands (v.7)... While it dose look specifically, marriage isn't really the primary focus of the passage but rather a piece of a greater picture/purpose that God is creating. to watch the whole service just click the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdahPRzYd0M&t=3917s

We now live in a time society has become very multicultural… and in these communities of multiple cultures there has arisen lands of multiple belief systems... thus, within this arising of multiple beliefs -living godly for Christ, especially in a pagan culture, is becoming considerably more difficult to do. Today we'll look at what it means to live as 'foreigners & exiles' in a world that is...

Three times in this chapter the ‘precious-ness’ of Christ is referred to. Firstly in v.4 as being precious in God’s sight… secondly in v.6 Jesus is precious as the Chief Cornerstone... and thirdly it comes in v.7 as it takes the shape of a comparison. Of these three mentions regarding the ‘Precious Person of Christ’ – it is this third one I’d like to share with you today and what the Precious Pers...

What are the ‘flavours’ that have captured your attention? What have you ‘tasted’ that makes the Lord seem, at this moment in time, dry & unappealing? Does the call of God, your relationship with Jesus, this life of submission & yielding to God’s will look like brusell sprouts or some other vegetable you don’t like (good for you but you can’t bear the taste)? Today we’re going to look at a...

Lately we’ve been following a theme of ‘family’ – whether the Father-heart of God; relating to God as our Father or our roles as His children. In talking with Ps. Roger the other day, he shared how many of the young men he minsters too come from fatherless homes. Because of that dynamic, the basic skills, work ethic, and social skills these young men lack is because their male influences come from...

The world is a tough place… society is difficult to navigate… life can be ‘formless, empty, dark, & tumultuous’ especially if one tries to live without God. So as parents, specifically fathers, who we celebrate today… navigating fatherhood, manhood, parenthood, whatever ‘hood’ is best addressed when God is central. Thus, for this message we'll look at an example in Luke 15 that shows “the Lovi...

The focus of today’s message isn’t the foundational reality of Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth… but instead the picture of life portrayed in vs.2 BEFORE God steps in…   Thus, a message titled "the God Who Speaks into Your Circumstance" to watch the whole service just click the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbnNDxQaLsY

Last week Ps. Ben blessed us by sharing about how WE can ‘connect’ with our God as FATHER… expounding the scriptures to us and imparting to us the beauty of knowing Him – as Father, as Faithful Friend; as Patient Trainer; & as Loving Disciplinarian. In keeping with that theme, and in closing out the ‘how to…’ series we begun several weeks ago, I wanted to look back at our text in 1 Jn 2 and lo...

As we did last week, we’re looking at a specific stage of growth in the Christian life from 1 John 2:12-14.  Last week we had 2 distinct words that defined us as believers… ‘teknon’ meaning all of us as children of God & ‘paidion’ meaning youngsters, or immature, children of God. Thus, the next message from the same passage is what I’ve titled ‘HOW to Live As Followers of Jesus’ to watch...

*apologies for the 'jumps' in the audio, we had some technical issues arise during the sermon recording. In this beautiful letter, the disciple whom Jesus loved (John) expounds on the reality of true love, the challenges of the world, the importance of Christ’s incarnation. This specific section (1 John 2:12-14) is titled  ‘Reasons for Writing’ John looks to address the various stages we expe...

Today’s message is the challenge God’s word brings before us… when we look at the part WE play in our walk with the Lord. With the exception of the main thought that this chapter repeats… “What the Lord Almighty says…” this is the only other repeated phrase Zechariah 8:9 & 13b “Now hear these words, ‘Let your hands be strong [...] Do not be afraid, but let your hands be strong.” Referring to o...

The main point of today’s message… is that for the children of Israel & their new life in Jerusalem, after years of slavery... had now reached a point that it was no longer about God.  It was no longer about their God ordained purpose, it was no longer about their privileged position as the apple of God’s eye, rather it was about THEMSELVES. And THAT is a chief danger that faces the churc...

We read of a specific word (v.6), given to a specific person (Zechariah), to be imparted to another person (Zerubbabel), for a specific purpose (building the Temple). The uniqueness of THAT message to Zerubbabel through Zechariah has applications for you and I in 21st century. Have you noticed, as a leader (church or otherwise), a parent, an employer, a teacher, or a politician… how difficult it i...

This morning we’re going to look at Zec 2:1-13, and focus on several declarations the Lord makes - a ‘declaration’ is defined as ‘a positive, explicit, or formal statement/a proclamation; the act of declaring/announcement’ Thus, for a people in a state of apathy, these declarations are to encourage the soul, stir up the spirit, & excite the heart. For in these declarations, the Lord is reveali...

God’s people have been captive in Babylon for 70yrs… and when Cyrus (king of Persia) came to power he gave the Jews permission to return to Jerusalem. While many chose to remain in Babylon, those that went back soon encountered huge obstacles that discouraged them and, in the end, stopped them from doing the work of the Lord. Prayerfully Zechariah’s message will speak to us in our circumstances… a...
