We Live In Fearful Times | Pastor Erick van Arneman | Jul 5 2026 06.07.2026 40:33
Island Church Sunday Service July 5, 2026What’s the point of anything when everything feels like it’s falling apart? We are surrounded by fear every day. It’s on the news. It’s in our feeds. It’s even in our conversations. Fear is a primal emotion that evolved as a survival instinct. When you feel fearful, your brain kicks into high gear, and your body prepares to fight, flee, faint, or freeze. Je...
"Esther: For Such a Time As This | Waiting For Justice | Pastor David Acton 29.06.2026 36:29
Island Church Sunday Service June 28, 2026 | Sometimes life isn’t fair. We pray for justice and believe that God hears us, but the answer doesn’t always come as quickly as we hope! We wonder if God hears us or if His justice will ever arrive. This week we learn that God does hear the prayers of His people and that even when we can’t see it, He is moving powerfully for our good behind the scenes!
Dressed For War | Brother Quincy Turner | 22.06.2026 30:28
Island Church Sunday Service June 21, 2026 |Many believers live as though they are in peacetime when Scripture declares we are in a spiritual war. Paul teaches that victory is not found in human strength but by being clothed in Christ Himself. The Armor of God is not merely a collection of spiritual disciplines; it is a picture of Jesus Christ manifested in and through the believer. To stand again...
"Esther: For Such a Time As This | Can God Turn This Around?" | Pastor David Acton 17.06.2026 37:20
Island Church Sunday Service June 14, 2026 | We’ve all been there. At the end of our rope, out of options and think all hope is lost. We wonder if even God can turn the situation around… I’ve got good news for you! Yes He can! This week we find our heroes trapped in a hopeless situation, but if we look carefully, we will see that God is already turning their worst day into their best day!
“Esther For Such a Time As This” - Freedom! | Pastor David Acton 09.06.2026 35:24
Island Church Sunday Service June 7, 2026 | Freedom means, “absence from constraint, empowered to fulfill your purpose.” If we only focus on the first part of the definition, our focus remains inward. If we understand that true biblical freedom means having the power to become the person/believer God created us to be, our focus will be much broader. This week we see how the heroes of our story bec...
“Esther: For Such a Time As This” | There's a Target on Your Back! | Pastor David Acton 05.06.2026 39:59
Island Church Sunday Service May 31, 2026 | The honeymoon stage is over, now the battle begins. Esther and Mordecai both have a target on their backs because of who they are and whose they are. Do you ever feel that way too? How do we respond when the enemy has us in his crosshairs?!
Pentecost Sunday: The Origin Story | Pastor David Acton 05.06.2026 37:32
Island Church Sunday Service 24 May 2026 | What exactly is Pentecost? What happened on the first Pentecost? Where did Pentecost come from? What does it mean to the Believer today?
"Esther - For Such a Time As This" | Spiritual Fathers & Mothers | Pastor David Acton 05.06.2026 39:10
Island Church Sunday Service May 17, 2026This week we meet a new character in the story of Esther. He became a "father by choice" when he adopted young Esther. That’s what Spiritual Fathers and Mothers do. They choose to be committed and consistently compassionate even when it's not always comfortable in order to raise up the next generation of believers.
“Esther: For such a time as this…” - How we make decisions | Pastor David Acton 11.05.2026 36:57
Island Church Sunday Service May 10, 2026When confronted with the greatest challenge of her life, Queen Esther was asked; “Perhaps you were sent for such a time as this?” How she responded to the huge challenge before her is what makes her one of the great heroes of the Bible. How can we be sure that we won’t miss a God Moment when we see one? How can we live like Esther and "not throw away o...
We are the Church: Blessing Our World | Pastor David Acton 07.05.2026 38:38
Island Church Sunday Service May 3, 2026Why are you here? What brought you or kept you on St Maarten? Family, a job, or even the water and weather didn’t bring you here. You are here on purpose… God’s Purpose. What would it look like if you began living out the purpose that God created you to have?
We are the Church: Believing in Christ Alone | Pastor David Acton 07.05.2026 36:29
Island Church Sunday Service April 26, 2026Our mission statement says that we “Believe in Christ alone.” Well, of course we do. We are a Christian church. It is right there in our name! The danger isn’t in believing in something instead of Jesus, the real danger is believing that Jesus isn’t enough. Believing that we need Jesus PLUS something else. The Apostle Paul faced this same problem in the c...
We Are The Church: Belonging Together | Pastor David Acton 07.05.2026 40:39
Island Church Sunday Service April 19, 2026The greatest threat to the Church today does not come from the outside, it comes from within. We have lost our Sense of Belonging! God’s Word reminds us that we Belong to God AND we Belong to each other. This week the Apostle Peter reminds us who we are and to whom we belong.
