How do you cope with suffering? Pain is inevitable in this life, and modern society doesn't give strong enough answers to cope with anguish. We look at the life of Stephen to see a better way.

Language matters. The arrival of God's presence shows us that God is not for just one culture or one language. God's message of truth and love found in Jesus is to be shared with all. And His presence reminds us who we are: His children. 

Happy Thanksgiving! If you've ever wondered how to follow Jesus faithfully, then learning about and interacting with the Holy Spirit is key. In this series we will look at movements of God's presence, the Holy Spirit, and how it made the first Church heroic in their launch.

This Sunday we will be talking about the need for us to pause and rest. Finding ways to seek out deep soul rejuvenating rest in the presence of Christ. Our next sermon series will be in the book of Acts. It will be called Acts: Holy Spirit and Heroic Church. This will be looking at the arrival and movements of the Holy Spirit and how the Church responds to Him. 

Today Pastor Colin speaks to us about importance, challenge, and payback of connecting in community.

What helps you when life changes on you? With September comes so much change in our schedules and priorities. Within these changes there is always opportunity to worship God as our true anchor.

Those who trust in the Lord are as secure as Mount Zion; They will not be defeated but will endure forever.Psalm125:1 NLT

This Sunday we focus on Psalm 125: Trusting in GodThe word is being brought to us by Violet Hayes"Those who trust in the Lord are as secure as Mount Zion; They will not be defeated but will endure forever"Psalm125:1 NLT

This Sunday we focus on Psalm 127, looking at the call of God to rely on Him and be active in our faith. 

This Sunday we focus on Psalm 126. It is a psalm of remembering the good God has done, and also asking Him to restore joy even in the midst of suffering. Only in Christ can joy be produced out of suffering.

In our second week of our Songs for the Road series we look at Psalm 122. This Psalm highlights the importance of gathering to worship God together.

We start our summer series with Psalm 121, where we learn where our true help comes from. Psalm 121 helps us understand our anticipation AND assurance of help that God gives us. 

Today is a stand alone sermon about the command of Jesus to experience a second spiritual birth after our physical birth. This second birth is from God and is the place from which we grow into mature Christ followers.

We are in week 6  and the final sermon of our series At the Table. We will be looking at Mark 16:9-16 where the resurrected Jesus causes disruption, challenges His disciples, and then gives them clarity of what to do next. He commands them to go and preach the good news, so that people may believe and be baptized.

Half way through our "at the table" Series, We take a small detour from meals and explore what the Psalmist means when he writes "Taste and see that the Lord is Good".

We will be looking at Matthew 22, where Jesus uses a story of a wedding feast to illustrate the Kingdom of Heaven. In it we see King, God the Father, inviting anyone and everyone to the Wedding Feast of the Son, Jesus. Those who refuse are stuck in pride of their religious effort. Those who say yes go immediately, and they must allow the King to provide the wedding garments. In this we see a vivid picture of being dressed in the righteousness of Christ to be welcomed into His presence.
