What are our dreams for the church? Who are we as members of the body of Christ? Pastor Graham encourages us to be an effective servant of God - not depending on our own strength, but on the Holy Spirit alone.
The Father is God, The Son is God, The Holy Spirit is God . All three share the same essence . Essence is what someone or something is . Each one is fully divine. There is no sense in which the Father is more divine than the Son or the Spirit. A blessed Trinity Sunday to us all!
For many Christians, it seems like the Trinity is composed of the Father, Son, and Holy Bible. This series aims to explore and expand our understanding of the Holy Spirit and His role in our lives.
We are wrapping up The ACTS That Changed The World series by looking at the Apostle Paul's inverted life. Join us as we learn what it looks like to change our world and how we can accomplish it. See you this Sunday! 😊
This week's sermon is about Philip, The Elevated Servant . We will learn his life in light of the resurrection and how he was Ready, Willing, and Able, in following Jesus.
The Bible tells us many stories of faithful witnesses in the Bible, but the story of Stephen, as told to us in the New Testament, is the story of someone whose life and witness was so compelling that people noticed – in fact, large crowds of people noticed. Listen as our guest speaker Dr. Laura Reimer shares the story of Stephen, a faithful witness.
We are beginning a new sermon series today that we are calling: “The ACTS That Changed the World,” focusing on the way the Risen Christ began to turn the world upside down through His followers. We will be asking God’s Spirit to teach us to be like them as we look at their stories in the Book of Acts, beginning today with Simon, whose name Jesus changed to Peter.
“Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.” Isa. 41:10 The disciples were frightened when they met Jesus after the resurrection. Are you feeling afraid right now? Listen as John Botkin shares the peace that we have in God as we focus in Him.
He is Risen! Listen as Pastor Graham shares about the hope that we have in Jesus.
Good Friday is the day we remember Jesus' death on the cross and His sacrifice to save us from our sins. Listen as Pastor Graham shares the GREAT NEWS that we have in Jesus and receive comfort and peace. May this message be a reminder for us, not just on Good Friday, but every day, as we continue to follow Jesus.
In this message, we look at the life of Elijah. Elijah's life reminds us to stand up against idolatry, and see if there are idols in our own lives - things that take God's place in our lives. He has to be foremost, and loved above all, for He is God.
In this sermon series we are looking at the life of prophets, how it echoes the life of Jesus, and how we can apply these lessons in our lives. Based on the life of Moses, we look at three key questions: What are we slaves of? What slavery do we oppose? Are we willing to make a change? If you want something different, you’re going to have to do something different.
This is the last sermon in the Philippians sermon series, and shows us how our faith and joy are interconnected. We are partners in safeguarding faith, and must guard our faith from being eroded by disagreement, distress and dissatisfaction. We have to choose daily to move towards unity, peace and contentment and thus guard our faith and our joy.
Based on Chapter 3 of Paul's letter to the Philippians, this sermon highlights that we are joyful because we are people who truly know Jesus and are in an on-going growing relationship with Him. This joyful relationship should spur us to run with perseverance the race that is set before us, focusing on Christ the the pioneer and perfecter of faith.
In the second sermon in this series based on Philippians 2, we look at how we have been called as Christians to be focused on the mission, be other-focused and be willing to serve joyfully. Jesus set us an example in this and Paul encourages us to follow in His path that we might truly be shining stars in this world.
This is the first sermon in this series, where we look at the book of Philippians. We are called to be partners in the gospel business - to share the good news of Jesus Christ through our lives. The business is all about relationship- our relationship with God and with others. We are called to live as citizens of heaven, here on earth but we do not do this with our own strength but with God's help.
In the final sermon in this series, we look at our relationships with others. Do our relationships spur us to move forward in what God has called us to do? How are we influencing others and how are they influencing us?
In this second part of this sermon series, we look at how our response to our calling, commitments and challenges is dependent on whether we are drawing close to God or drifting away from Him. We explore this by looking into the lives of David & Saul and they challenge both of them faced. How are we doing? Listen more to see how we can apply this to our own lives.
At the beginning of a new year, we make resolutions but sometimes we find it difficult to keep up with them. This year we want to focus on becoming better versions of ourselves by drawing closer to God through community, prayer, reading the word, serving and worship.
During Christmas, we often hear and speak about the visit of the Wise Men who came to see the infant Jesus. However the bleak story of Herod and his decision to kill babies who were living in Jerusalem as an attempt to get rid of Jesus is often over looked and rarely spoken during Christmas. Yet this story is a reminder of why Jesus had to come to this earth to overcome evil. Even in our world today, where we still see injustice especially against the vulnerable we are reminded of our need for a...
In this last sermon in our Advent series, we focus on the angels message to the shepherds as they told them the good news of Jesus' birth. God provided us a Saviour in Jesus Christ so that we can overcome the bondage of sin and live as children of God.
In this second sermon in our Advent Series, "Fear Not" we look at the life of Joseph and the circumstance when the angel told him to "Fear Not". Joseph had fears, and they were reasonable fear too,, but he chose to listen to God rather than to his fears. That's the example he sets for us to follow- will we listen to our fears and or will we listen to God and move forward?
This advent message speaks about our fears in following God's plan in our lives. We often consider them us interruptions to our own well laid out plans, but God has a bigger purpose and plan, and He invites us to participate in these plans. Could we start looking at God's plan as an invitation rather than as an interruption?
In the final chapter of the book of Jonah, we come to understand the main themes of the book- mercy & justice. We often want mercy for ourselves but justice when others wrong us. God reminds us through Jonah His mercy and His call for us to be merciful to others just as He has been merciful to us. This message concludes by asking some difficult questions for us to ponder on - Do I truly know and believe that I need mercy as much as the next person? Am I willing to see God extend mercy to tho...
Jonah Chapter 3 provides us the hope of second chances and many other chances that God gives us as we learn to walk in His ways. God can do anything for anyone, anytime, anywhere.
