The resurrection of Christ is not merely a paranormal event or some momentary magic trick. The resurrection is a powerful sign of hope; hope now and hope forever. It is the precursor of our own resurrection, in which our bodies will be made new. We examine the resurrection today and learn of this fundamental Christian belief.

Today we examine the cross and Christ's accomplished work in dying for the sins of many. In today's text, we see the mockery and taunting of the world towards Christ, a mockery that his followers continue to experience today. As believers, the cross is central to our faith, hope and life. Let us learn and be reminded of this fundamental truth; the event and its impact.

Just some quick thoughts on this short excerpt. Hope it can be a thought provoker and a source of prayer material. Give thanks to God!

The last month of 2020 has come upon us and that means we are on our final “figure of scripture” in our annual sermon series. We conclude this year with a study of Jesus: his birth, his death, his resurrection and his return. Today we begin by looking at Luke’s account of Christ’s birth. We hope and pray it would be a blessing to you all.

Today we conclude our sermon series on the teachings of the Apostle John. This final sermon teaches us the nature of Christ's cleansing blood, his atonement and his self sacrifice. He teaches his disciples to do the same, to act in humility and to serve others. Let us look to Christ as our great example.

Today we continue learning from the Book of John and we turn to chapter 11 and the story of the resurrection of Lazarus. This story also contains Jesus' fifth "I am" statement that he is "the resurrection and the life." There is a lot to gain from this teaching that Christ is both our life now and forever.

Our faith is secured and found favourable to God in Christ alone. Our union with Christ is the key to our salvation. He is our door and he is our good shepherd. May we trust and have faith in him always.

Today we study John 6 where Jesus feeds the multitudes, but just like last week in John 4, the narrative teaches something more important than simply the provision of physical nourishment. It teaches us who Jesus is and what the correct response to this knowledge is. Let us examine the text.

We begin the month of November with our first sermon on the Apostle John. We begin in John 4 with the the narrative of the "Samaritan Woman at the Well." This story is rich in Christology and rich in its presentation of the new life that can be found only in Christ and what that new life entails. May we be blessed by this lesson today.

Today marks the 503rd anniversary since the unofficial, yet official, beginning of the Protestant Reformation. On this day, 503 years ago, a German Monk/professor in Wittenberg, Germany posted 95 theses statements challenging the Roman Catholic Church. Thus beginning the preservation and proclamation of Christ's gospel in the hearts of many and a revival/restoration of the truth of that gospel as...

The doctrine of justification by faith is central to the Christian's understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is here in Romans 3 where we will unpackage this doctrine that has become to important to believers everywhere.

We continue on our series with the Apostle Paul to Athens where he preaches his famous sermon on Mars Hill to the Greek thinkers of his time. It is here in Acts 17 we are reminded of the urgency of sharing the gospel, wherever we are found, to whomever we are with, and at whatever the cost. Paul is precise and loving in his execution, let us see how.

We continue in our study of the Apostle Paul with Acts 16. Paul and Silas are beaten and imprisoned. But instead of responding with despair, they respond with prayer and praise; full of joy and rejoicing greatly. Let us gather in worship today and read His word faithfully.

We begin this new month with our October figure of scripture; Paul. In Acts 9 we read of his conversion from Christian persecutor to faithful Christ follower. The legacy of Paul and how we remember him is far from the man he once was. Let us examine the text to learn more about the nature of God's effectual calling and the power of God's sovereignty.

This is our last sermon on the figure of Peter. Today we look to John 21:1-17 and learn about the reconciliation between Peter and Jesus after his denial. But this scene is epic in many way, and preserves an important lesson for us to all gain.

Today we examine Peter's greatest moment of failure recorded in scripture. His denial of Christ. It is a story that reveals much more about the reality of our tendency to fail in our faith. But it also teaches us that, we cannot sustain our faith on our own, but only through the work of the Father, Son and Spirit in us, can our faith not fail.

We conclude with Paul's final greetings to the Colossians and reflect on the teachings of this letter. May these lessons be of service to your heart and mind as we fulfill the ministry the Lord has given us.

In Matthew 14:22-33 we examine Peter's famous scene of walking on water as Jesus calls him out. What begins with faith ends in fear. But what is the lesson within this narrative?

We have friends in Christ, let us treasure them.

Our conduct should be consistent with our faith, so that it may open opportunities for the preaching of the gospel.

We start a new month with a new figure of scripture: Peter. For the next few weeks we will examine some key instances in Peter's life and ministry as he becomes a follower of Jesus and an apostle of Christ. We start today with the calling of Peter.

Paul reminds us to have a habit of praying and being alert of what to pray for.

There is one master we serve and one master over our lives.

Our one true master is the Lord and we are to serve Him faithfully by being faithful where He places us.

Sunday Service (08-30-2020) We conclude our series on Daniel with one of the most important visions in the Old Testament that reveal to us the nature of the Trinity, the promise of the Messiah, and a glimpse into the end of days on which all will be judged. It is both a warning for us to repent, and a call to those who hear to believe. Join us again next Sunday at 12:45PM: https://www.twitch.tv/sh...
