What’s Good: Walk Humbly: The 3MPH God

Enoch is a character that has scant biblical presence. We know very little about him, but what we do know is noteworthy: He walked with God.

What’s Good: Walk Humbly: Rethinking Humility

Humility is easier said than done. Sometimes our pride creeps in subconsciously and we don’t even know it. How can we rethink the concept of humility in a way that would be attainable and practical? This message explores the idea of “walking humbly” by breaking down the text of Micah 6:8.

What’s Good: Love Mercy: A Call To An Alert Life

You can’t love something you are not familiar with. So when we are told that we are to “love mercy”, we need to make sure we are well-acquainted with it in our own lives.

What’s Good: Love Mercy: Father of Mercies

As we continue in our What’s Good series from Micah 6:8, we’ll continue to build our foundation by complimenting our growing understanding of justice with a fresh look at mercy. What better way to celebrate Father’s Day than by celebrating the Father of mercies.

What’s Good : Act Justly: Bringing Beauty to Brokenness

The prophet Micah reminds us succinctly what the natural response should be to a God who has been gracious and kind: a life that is purposed on justice, mercy, and walking with God.

What’s Good: Act Justly: Just Do It

Micah 6:8 is an inspirational verse about justice and mercy. It inspired a mellow, folksy worship song in the 80’s. But the actual tone is more of a kick in the butt: don’t pretend to be ignorant of injustice around us. Justice matters to God and therefore it should matter to us.

Seek First: Growing in Shrewdness

Greed creeps. Studies show that the more we have, the more we want to keep. We become enslaved to worldly wealth unless we choose to be shrewdly generous

Seek First: Woman at the Well

Sometimes before we can find contentment and joy, we must become aware of our flimsy approaches to life.

You Were Made for This: Putting on Armour

Sun Tse famously said, “Know your enemy.” Jesus would agree. The key to standing strong in your faith is knowing how your enemy is plotting your destruction.

May 16, 2021•40 min

You Were Made for This: Stay in the Light

We continue to look into insights from the book of Ephesians about our identity as Christ-followers. This message turns to Chapter 5 with an emphasis on how God has gifted us, as His beloved children, to be light in the midst of darkness.

You Were Made for This: Measured Grace

If you don’t know how you are made, you won’t know how to manage your life. Self-leadership is the hardest, but most important.

May 02, 2021•42 min

You Were Made for This: Getting The Call

What is the church supposed to be about? If there is one target for the church to hit, what would that target be? This sermon from the book of Ephesians will define what the church is supposed to be doing.

Easter Sunday: From Hopeless to Hopeful

The resurrection of Jesus Christ has never been more relevant. For it alone provides credibility for Christianity, but more than that, it provides confident hope for all who follow.

Encounters: A Cross Not Chosen

One of the last people to encounter Jesus during His final week in Jerusalem was Simon of Cyrene, a man conscripted from the crowd to carry Jesus’s crossbeam to Golgotha. Recorded briefly in all three Synoptic gospels, there is much we can learn from his eventful interaction with Christ.

Encounters: Learning from Peter’s mistakes

As one of Jesus’s disciples, Peter was bold, loyal, and devoted. But, like all of us, he made mistakes. On the night before Christ’s death, we see multiple encounters that Jesus had with Peter that showed how even a disciple of Christ can fail. But as we’ll learn from Peter’s example, God uses our weaknesses to show His power.

Encounters: Riding on Truth

Everyone has an opinion, but opinions don’t have the power to set you free. Only truth does that – and Jesus offers a life based on the counterintuitive notion that truth, like it or not, is actually the source of real freedom.

Encounters: Lessons of Remorse from Judas

Judas is known as the worst traitor the world has ever known. He is so villainised that many can’t find any way of relating to him. What could have possibly motivated him to betray Jesus in the manner that he did? How might we learn from his mistakes?

Encounters: A Little Caiaphas in Us All

We all tend to prop up little gods in our lives – “must haves” we cling tightly to for fear that losing them would devastate us. But our resistance is futile. Eventually, these counterfeit idols prove not to be harmless or neutral, but destructive to the very stability we thought they would bring. Surrendering to God is surely frightening but it is the only thing that opens us to the freedom and stability our insecure selves crave.

Chinese New Year: Finding the Blessed Life

Blessings and the “fei chun” calligraphy are everywhere at Chinese New Year as they are an essential part of the holiday. But what is the biblical meaning of “blessing”? And what is the secret to living the “blessed life”?

Chinese New Year: Sow a Blessing

There is a time for everything. As we begin the Year of the Ox, God is calling us to focus on sowing seeds and trust Him to bring us a joyful harvest in His time.

Pivot: Signallers of Virtue

We are all desperate for approval and recognition, but this misdirected craving is exhausting and unfulfilled. Life with Christ offers a truly satiating alternative.

Feb 07, 2021•30 min

Pivot: Living in Abundance

Spiritual scarcity is a real problem today. Unaware or ungrateful for our spiritual wealth, we settle for a spiritual life that is dumbed down, reduced, and anything but vibrant. Though our experience is common (thank God for those disciples!), it is far from what God desires. Living in abundance is a beautiful and available alternative.

Pivot: Receiving Feedback

God often uses the people around us to speak wisdom, correction and care. Thus, cultivating a teachable spirit is key to unlocking the voice of God.

Jan 24, 2021•31 min

Pivot: What Should We Do with Doubt?

Doubt is something that every person must deal with. It is a normal part of the human experience and can be a great tool to propel us towards seeking truth, yet unfortunately it is something that fills us with fear and dread. In this sermon, we will study the life of John the Baptist to see how we are to deal with our doubt.
