Faith is an integral part of the Christian walk. Sometimes we may feel like we have great faith, other times we may feel like we have small faith. The Disciples even asked Jesus to grow their faith! The good news is that we can grow our faith in God through Revelation. In today’s Message Pastor Holland will teach us how we can grow our faith. It is through the revelation of the word of God that we...

When comparison creeps into our lives we can suffer in many ways. A comparison is a form of pride where we are more consumed with ourselves rather that the people who are around us. In Today’s Message Pastor Holland will help us see the danger in comparison when it comes to others. It keeps us from wanting to build other people up and blinds us to what God is doing right now in our own lives. Than...

One of the greatest traps in the Christian faith is the idea of Comparison. We can quickly discount what God is doing in our lives when we compare it to what we’ve seen him do in other people’s lives, or what we saw him do in our past. We can compare gifts, opportunity, and even ministries. In today’s message, Pastor Holland will be sharing a story of when the Israelites were comparing their lives...

One of the coolest, yet hardest things to understand about the Gospel, is how God brings us into his Kingdom. The Bible says that apart from Christ we are enemies of God, but in Christ, we are considered Co-heirs with him. In today’s message, Pastor Holland will explain this idea with a story of the Israelites. Unfortunately, there are people who have a hard time grasping their new identity in Chr...

When you love someone, do you find it hard to spend time with them? Is it difficult to show them affection? Of course not! You can't help yourself, can you?

To enter into His presence and sing His praises. When we consider Hi...

Do you know, where your allegiance in life is? Do you know what you stand for? Do you know who you fight for? Who do you serve? Sometimes we think we don't have to choose sides, that we can remain neutral, and stay out of things... But the reality is, that we all have to choose a side. In today's Message, Pastor Holland teaches us, that whether we realize it or not, we are in a battle. The battle...

In the current state of our society, the lines have been blurred, and everything seems to fall into the gray area . Morality has been turned upside down, and the terms of right and wrong have been completely redefined. How is anyone supposed to know where they stand, in today's day and age? Pastor Holland reminds us in Today's message, that with God things are still black and white. He has not cha...

Have you ever been to a place where it's so dark , that you can't see your own hand, right in front of your face? How hard would it be to do anything, or find your way anywhere, in that darkness? But... when you shine a light, what happens? You've now revealed, your surroundings! Pastor Holland teaches us in today's message, that God has revealed, His will, to us, in much the same way. His word, a...

Have you ever experienced the genuine presence of God? When the Children of Israel made their exodus from Egypt, God's presence, was with them. He manifest Himself to them, in a very real way , and it had a very real effect on them, and those around them. Pastor Holland teaches us in today's message, about the importance of God's presence. Without His presence, how can we know His will for our liv...

Jesus came in an extreme act of humility to save you. Yes, you heard that right! This means you need to admit your need for saving. This can be really challenging for us. In our sinful nature, we’re prone to be very prideful. But, as you’ll discover today in Pastor Holland’s message when you lay that down at His feet and accept His gift, salvation is yours - and you take on the rights of a child o...

During times of trial, whether on a personal level or as a nation in the midst of a morality and identity crisis, the peace on earth we dream about can seem extremely elusive. Pastor Holland will share an important truth with you today, though - God is the same God today as He was when He sent His Son Jesus to demonstrate His love in an unfathomable act of grace.

When you were a child, do remember how you felt when you heard your name being called? There were probably times when the first thing that came to mind was, “uh-oh... I'm trouble now.” It probably made you wary to find out, what you were being called for. In today's Message, Pastor Holland reminds us of the goodness of God, How He's not looking to punish us but to forgive us. Of course, we all des...

In the Bible, the church is referred to as “the bride of Christ.” There are a lot of different things that a bride, can bring to mind. Like youth, beauty, love, and honor, just to name a few. In today's message, Pastor Holland teaches us about the benefits, and blessings, that we have in Christ, being His bride. Christ loves us so much, that He gave His life for us. He cherishes His bride so much...

Sometimes people are afraid of commitment. “Sure, it's okay to be involved in different things, but only on the condition, that you can opt out, out at any time.” Maybe it's for fear of losing autonomy or freedom.  “If I commit to this... then there goes my independence.” In today's Message, Pastor Holland teaches us, that when we commit ourselves to God when we surrender to Him, we aren't lo...

Before a wedding takes place, there are many things that must first be prepared. Of course, there are things like, the venue, the decorations, and the food that's to be served, but there's also the wedding party. You have the groom, and the groomsmen that get fixed up in their tuxes, and the bridesmaid in their dresses, but the most important preparation that must take place, is that, of the bride...

In our culture, life seems to always be about getting ahead . We're constantly looking, for that special edge.. something to get us ahead, something to, help us climb up, another rung on the ladder. In today's Message, Pastor Holland teaches us, that in the Christian walk, it should be God that lifts us up. When we experience testing, trials, and things that are often viewed as setbacks, we must r...

In our modern western culture, we don't understand the concept of a betrothal. The closest thing we have is an engagement , but even in the engagement, we don't see the same level of commitment as in a betrothal. In the engagement , there is still the option to back out of the marriage, but in a betrotha l, the commitment has already been made; the marriage has been all but consummated. In today's...

As a human, it's in our nature to try and control and handle every little aspect of our lives, isn't it?  But what is usually the result?  Failure, disappointment, frustration, and fatigue?  It's incredible the contrast when we put our complete trust and confidence in the work Jesus did on the cross, all our striving falls away, and we experience peace.  Today in his message, p...

Your day in and day out routine, does it have you looking down and not able to look up to see what is going on around you?  It sure seems like all the pressures of this world are weighing us all down.  But God wants us to look up.  To be looking for Him, and to be anxiously awaiting His return.  It's hard to find the time or even the desire to do anything other than the work we...

Contrary to what Simon and Garfunkel may say, you are not a rock or an island.  God created you to be in a community with others, growing and serving alongside each other.  And you’ll see this in today’s passage too.  Pastor Richard explains that God gave Nehemiah a vision, one he prayed about and pursued by himself.  But then, he shared what the Lord had put on his heart with...

Do you ever feel so tired in your day-to-day life?  Everything around you is dragging you down and you can't quite see out.  That overwhelming, crushing feeling is something so many of us have come to embrace as normal.  But the good news is, God doesn't want that to be our normal.  He wants a life of abundant joy and peace for us!  That's why He sent His son to die for yo...

Pastor Holland will wrap up his message on the Spring Feasts today, and what we've seen all along is that God's plan for a relationship with us has never faltered.

Have you ever asked God for a sign? “God if you're out there... give me a sign!” Pastor Holland shows us that the scriptures are chock-full of signs that all point to Jesus, and his redemptive plan.

So, if you're...
