Proverbs 3:1-11 Last week we considered the peril of rejecting wisdom and the rewards of pursuing it. Proverbs 3 encourages the pursuit of wisdom by showing us its benefits and several ways it is reflected in our daily lives, choices, and character.

Proverbs 1:20-23, 2:1-6 We learned last week a bit about the Proverbs and the fear of the Lord. We also were reminded the Lord delights in giving us wisdom when we ask. That asking needs to come from a right heart attitude, which is not something we have naturally. Proverbs 1 & 2 encourages us to pursue a heart of wisdom by warning us against the perils of rejecting it and setting before us th...

This Sunday Gaining a Heart of Wisdom Wisdom: First Things Proverbs 1:1-7 Navigating life, work, and relationships well can be overwhelming. We face a multitude of decisions throughout a day, not to mention throughout life. Some may have far-reaching consequences for our lives and relationships. Sometimes the Bible is clear in its direction. But often we face decisions where Scripture doesn’t give...

Lament—The Honest Cry of a Hurting Heart Psalm 13 Pain and brokenness are part of our lives and part of our society, here and everywhere. We struggle with the pain and we struggle with God. Thankfully, that is not the whole story. In this week’s message from Psalm 13 we will consider together the hope offered to us in lament. That may be a new form of prayer for you, but it is not new—lament is fo...

This Sunday we will be looking into Acts 4:23-31 In Acts 4, the church experienced its first taste of the opposition Jesus had promised. Following that, they gathered to pray. In their prayer we find help as we face our own challenges, whether it is opposition to the gospel, or another type of personal challenge in life, or the challenge we face together as a church in transition.

This Sunday, we reflect on the post-resurrection transition the disciples have to make as they may no longer have Jesus with them 24/7. As we undergo a similar transition of our own, we hope to learn from their experience, and be reminded that an awareness of God’s abiding presence with us may help us to manage this transition. Job Yan, an ICP elder, will be sharing from John 21:1-22.

This Sunday I will be sharing some, "Things To Remember," in a Living Letter to a Church we love. This will be my final sermon as Pastor of ICP. We are so thankful to God and to each of you. Serving ICP has been an honour far beyond our dreams for Becky and I. We love you all so much!

This week we will conclude the message on being in step with the Holy Spirit and explore what true worship looks like. The Holy Spirit is the most personal expression of God's love towards us. He makes our hearts His home. Every believer should desire to be filled and seek to live in way that makes the Holy Spirit at home in our lives. 1 Desire to be filled - We are invited to ask for the fill...

The person and work of the Holy Spirit is often neglected in the life of a believer, but it is absolutely essential for every follower of Jesus to understand. You need to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Why we need to be filled, and refilled again and again. The Holy Spirit convicts and draws unbelievers to know Jesus The Holy Spirit indwells and influences all believers The Holy Spirit gives life...

Too often there is a gap between what we say we believe and what we experience. The source of the gap begins with not understanding our union with Christ Jesus and the filling of the Holy Spirit. This week will explore how to Walk Like Jesus; in the Power of the Holy Spirit. To walk like Jesus, start by focusing on Him and not you. Walking with Him requires us to focus on Him first and not ourselv...

How can we recognize Jesus voice and know that what we are hearing is true? In John chapter 10 Jesus gives us both a warning against false teaching and the comfort of knowing that we can accurately hear His voice. There is nothing more important for believers than to be able to discern truth and listen for what God has to say. This week we will explore this important passage along with its backgro...

Jesus commanded us to do two very specific things: Baptize people in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and to celebrate the Communion meal in remembrance of Him. Baptism represents our Union with Christ Jesus' death burial and resurrection through faith in Him and what He has done. Lord's Supper represents our Communion and ongoing fellowship with Jesus. It is a celebration of th...

Prayer is the life line that connects a believer to the presence, power and person of God, and yet it is often misunderstood, and neglected. Here are some good questions about prayer. What is the purpose of prayer? How are we to pray? Why do some prayers seem to be unanswered? How important is prayer? How did Jesus pray? This week on our Pathways series we will explore what Jesus has to teach us a...

Knowledge and understanding are not necessarily the same thing. A person can have great knowledge even about God's Word and yet lack understanding. Jesus frequently commented on the religious leaders of his day concerning this very truth. To move from knowledge to understanding we need to apply the Truth Test, to what we think and examine how it lines up with the fullness of God’s Word. This w...

Last week we discovered that Truth is a Person not just a set of ideas. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.: John 14:6. Therefore truth will always conform to Jesus character, commands and example. He is how we measure between what is true and what is false. This week we will explore the importance of our though patterns and how we are to take our thoughts captive and make them obedient to J...

This week's Pathways to Knowing God and Making Him Known, is The Path of Truth. Truth is a person. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life, according to John 14:6. Truth is not an abstract principle. Rather truth flows from the very character and nature of its author. It is possible to know a great deal about the bible and never know its author. We are called to have an encounter with...

God has revealed Himself to us in so many ways. His fingerprints are on all of creation. He has given us His Word to show usHis thoughts and character. And He sent His Son, Jesus to rescue us from sin and from ourselves. God wants us to know Him. On our Pathways to Knowing God and Making Him Known, this week we will explore the second half of Psalm 103 and discover how to grow closer to the Lord....

Knowing God is an interactive relationship. As we come to know the greatness of God, our hearts respond with praise. There is a progression of worship in the Psalm 103 that parallels our growth in knowing and loving God. Worship is the natural outgrowth of love for God. True love must be expressed. Psalm 103:1 (ESV) Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! What do...

Today we begin a new series entitled Pathways to Knowing God and Making God Known. My prayer is that your heart for God will be enlarged and that you will discover that the Lord is the true desire of your heart. Thomas Watson, the great puritan minister made this important point... In heaven the saints rest with Him; on earth we may walk with God. We are to draw near to God and to see Him…. There...

For our Resurrection Sunday service we will focus in on Jesus as Risen Saviour, Reigning, and soon Returning King. We will explore the incredible description of Jesus as He is right now as recorded in Revelation chapter 1. This powerful passage pulls back the curtain of heaven to allow us the see the majesty, and power of Jesus Christ. Here is John's description of Jesus Christ our Lord. Revel...

Last week we saw. How Habakkuk learned about how faith overcomes the darkness. This Sunday we will explore "A Song in the Darkness." Habakkuk teaches us not just how to endure trial but to worship in the middle of our questions and struggles. God did something incredible in the heart and life of Habakkuk. The Lord shared His own heart and His incredible plan to rescue every tribe, tongue a...

The prophet Habakkuk wrestled with tough questions about the evil in he world around him. He struggled to understand how God was working. Habakkuk took his questions to the right place, to the Lord Himself. The answers He received were confusing at first, but He learned to trust God with his doubts and discovered how to worship in the darkness. Hidden in the middle of this small book is one of the...

This week as we explore our Re-Image Series, we will look at the Patience of God and how we are called to reflect His likeness though waiting. For most of us waiting is hard, but God has a purpose in our waiting. Join us this Sunday Online as we explore how to Reflect the Patience of God.

There is a growing darkness in our world. But light always overcomes darkness. Jesus has called us to be His light in a world of darkness.
