When in Rome: The Undefeatable Love of God

Romans 7-8 contain some of Paul’s most personal reflections and utmost convictions about our Christian lives. This message dives into the heartfelt centre of Paul’s theology, which is based in his utter faith in God’s love to us in Christ.

When in Rome: Dependent Independence

In this section of Paul’s letter to the Romans, he is explaining that now that we have been justified by faith, we now have peace with God and freedom in Christ. But as he builds his argument, he can see the questions coming at him. Questions that are only natural to ask. His eloquent explanation helps us understand what it truly means to be free – a total dependance on God.

When in Rome: Imposter’s Syndrome

Have you ever felt like you don’t belong in church, because for some reason you feel like you are not “righteous” enough? This is a universal struggle that we all feel at one point or another. We continue in our series of going through the book of Romans, by looking at chapters 3 and 4 and how we can attain the righteousness that we long for.

When in Rome: Compelling Kindness

If you are not seeing His kindness in your life, it’s because you’re not paying attention. It’s never because He stopped being kind.

When in Rome: The mystery unveiled

The gospel of Christ is the greatest information one can even comprehend. And it is so counterintuitive that we easily drift away from it. Our default setting is often to live by inner rules of behaviour, rather than the freeing life in Christ. Romans reminds us of who we are in Christ, and how our righteous standing before God compels our life in new directions.

Ask God: Are science and faith compatible?

Jessica and John will be sharing about the compatibility of Science and Faith. Through the sermon they will explore the rich history of science and faith and share how science provides us a way to cope with our existence, but it is our faith in Jesus that provides us with hope, meaning, and purpose.

Ask God: How much free will do I have over my life?

It can be difficult to wrap up our minds around two things we believe to be simultaneously true, an all-powerful God who directs steps and history, and an intangible sense that we are free to make choices that impact the present and future. Join us as we explore how much free will we have in our lives.

Ask God: Can I change God’s mind?

Why should we even ask for things, if God already has a plan and has made up His mind? This question is essential to answer if we ever hope to have a robust and exciting prayer life. We dive into the story of the first prayer of intercession in order to answer this question.

Ask God: What happens after I die?

What do you imagine when you think about the afterlife? That’s a huge question that could be answered a plethora of different ways. Even amongst Christians, the idea of what happens after we die is met with confusion. But what we think about our future is very important for our present. Today, we will look into scripture to understand what happens after we die.

Ask God: How can you say there is only one true faith?

It’s been a charge against Christianity for ages – how can Jesus claim to be the only way to God? Is Christianity really that exclusive? And what about those who’ve never had a chance to hear?

Ask God: Why do bad things happen to good people?

Why do bad things happen to good people? What happens when your world goes off balance? What part does believing in God play in your life when nothing seems to make sense? Come and discover what God has to say about this through His own words – The Bible.

Ask God: Questions for God

Our confidence in our Bible will greatly affect the level of reliance we place upon it.

Engraved: The Two Thieves

People die differently, because people live differently. In the last scene of Jesus’ life, He is surrounded by two thieves, both having equal access to see and observe Jesus. But their response is very different. How can we cultivate a tender heart, one that sees and receives all that Jesus has for us?

Engraved: Simon of Cyrene

The unexpected help from Simon of Cyrene on the way to the cross gives vast insight into the message and method of God in ways we might not have considered.

Engraved: Barabbas

The story of Barabbas is often overlooked because it is such a short story. Despite its brevity, Barabbas’s story holds deeper layers that go beyond being known solely as the one the crowds chose instead of Jesus. In this sermon, we embark on a journey to explore the untold aspects of Barabbas’s life, revealing surprising parallels that mirror our own experiences.

Engraved: Judas

It’s possible to act like a christian, but not actually be one. It's feasible to be close to the things of God, but never actually have a converted heart. Judas serves as a stark warning that true conversion is always lasting.

Engraved: Mary Magdalene

Mary Magdalene is a very well known figure in scripture with very little known about her. She had the incredible honour of being the first person to see the risen Jesus, but that wasn’t their first encounter. Mary’s larger story is an encouraging one that gives us a perfect picture of what it means to be gratefully faithful.

Sweet Life: Be Fruitful And Multiply

Lotus seeds represent the blessings of bringing forth offspring one after another. This applies to our spiritual community as we think about how to serve the community better. Today, we study how Barnabas multiplies spiritual leaders (Paul and John Mark) and how we, both as individuals and as a church, should do the same thing.

Sweet Life: Disguised Harmony

Our negative assumptions about our family members prevent us from pursuing reconciliation, resulting in only a “disguised harmony” or even conflicts in our family. Learning from the reconciliation of Esau and Jacob, we should put our trust not in our own assumptions but in God’s power to change hearts, and practice “forgetful forgiveness”, because we too have been forgiven by and reconciled to God through Jesus.

Sweet Life: Happiness

Happy New Year! The desire for happiness is a universal phenomenon. But what gives you real long-lasting happiness? In this sermon, we will explore the surprise source of happiness that God has already shown us.
