The challenges and hardships that we face in life can often leave us with questions about God and why life seems to be so hard. Understanding what Jesus accomplished at the cross will lead the way to living a life that is free to trust Him in all areas, even the places we are scared to go. It inspires us to surrender our whole lives to Him.

God is a giver of many gifts. And what is the only reasonable response to these gifts? It is to offer ourselves back to Him through our submission under His Lordship. Pastor Ross explains the cost of following Jesus, and the many rewards that come from this obedience.

There are lots of things that we boast about, but to the Apostle Paul, only one thing was worth it. Paul wanted to glory in how he was changed and set free through his inclusion with Christ on the cross, making him a new creation. Pastor Ross explains how this truth will change how you see God, yourself, and the world around you.

You will reap what you sow is a popular parable, found in many forms both in and outside of Scripture. It is both a warning and an encouragement.

Giving money in the church can be an awkward conversation. And yet in nearly every epistle from the Apostle Paul, he talks about the value and importance of giving.

It is not good for man to be alone. That was God’s judgement of Adam when he was alone in the garden. We were created for community, for it is through a community where God provides and cares for us. Where other believers come along and carry the burdens and struggles alongside us. But this is not an invitation to passivity. For there is a connection between our rights and our responsibilities that we must never forget. Website: https://www.newlifekw.ca Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewLife...

Matthew 5, verses 17-20 says there is a way to respond to the Law and The Prophets that gets you on the right side of history. However the church has failed this test over and over again, causing division, denominations, factions and parachurch ministries. How can we know if we are on the right side of history?

Talking about SIN and what it looks like is not popular. But yet, God warns us about sin and the damages sin causes many times in His Scripture.

Freedom in Christ can feel scary to some. If we don’t have the Law, what will keep us from sinning and living a life of selfish pursuits? Paul offers a simple wanting and command as a response. Rather than abusing our freedom and allowing the flesh to bring misery and destruction into our lives and to those around us, we get to use our freedom as an opportunity to serve one another in the love of God.

Out of all the descriptions of God , holy is the only one that is repeated three times in scripture when mentioned in praise. We certainly know the word well and the Bible uses it a lot, but what does the word mean for us practically? Does God’s Holiness have no other purpose than to make us feel inadequate? In today’s message, Pastor Robin looks at Psalm 99 and how the topic of God’s Holiness has unique meaning and purpose for our lives today. Website: https://www.newlifekw.ca Facebook: https:/...

True discipleship isn’t doing your best in striving to measure up to a religious standard. It’s not about how much you know, how hard you work at keeping a variety of spiritual disciplines, or how much faith you have that something will happen. True discipleship, as the Apostle Paul explains in Galatians 5: 5-6, is by faith relying and depending upon the power and strength of the Holy Spirit in you to love others.

Is it possible to lose your salvation? Or are you once saved always saved?

If we’re honest, we have a lot of fleeces out. We’re often looking to see will God come through. Is he trustworthy? Does He listen to me? Maybe it is a situation at work school or in your family. Maybe it is something in your body. Whatever it is - it is an invitation to a faith that pleases God and also a faith that He rewards. In this sermon, pastor Robin encourages us to take him at His word based on John 4:46-55 - and then receive the blessings that follow. Website: https://www.newlifekw.ca ...

It was for FREEDOM that Christ has set us free.

Sometimes in Scripture, there is a story behind the story. A deeper spiritual reality that is being played out through people and events in the Old Testament. The apostle Paul reveals one such allegory in Galatians 4 with the story of Hagar, Sarah, and their children who represent two covenants. One of slavery; and one of freedom. The question becomes, who is your mother? And then, what do we do with the one who causes so much trouble? Website: https://www.newlifekw.ca Facebook: https://www.face...

Christianity is about transformation rather transaction. We are transformed from one state into another. From death to life but primarily from and old creature that could not please God into one that can. 2 Corinthians 4 says that we are transformed from one image of glory to another by beholding Jesus’ glory. What does that mean? How do we do that? Can we see Jesus’ glory. Pastor Robin unpacks this mystery to reveal something special about the beauty of Jesus. You can watch this message on YouT...

Having made a powerful argument over the past chapter and a half as to why all Christians, those of Jewish and Gentile birth, are free from the Law to now live under the Spirit. The Apostle Paul commands them to be free, through an appeal of his heart for them. He contrasts how the Judaizers only want to use them for their own personal glory, while Paul wants to see them grow in their faith with Jesus.

We are all, by definition, religious people. But not all religions are equal. All of man’s religions are essentially the same – we do our best to earn blessing and favor from the god of our choosing through our sacrifice and adhering to the right rituals and performance. But it only ends up in bondage and failure because those gods cannot provide the fulfillment and contentment that we deserve. In this message, Pastor Ross helps us discover what is the pure and undefiled religion of God that com...

Adoption in first century Roman times was very different from how we understand adoption today. Back then, adoption was the time when the father recognized that their son was mature and no longer needed the child guides that they were in bondage to. The Apostle Paul uses that analogy to show that we have graduated from being under bondage to the Law so that we could be sons of God with the Holy Spirit as our new guide.

Muslims and Jews have very little issues with Jesus as a teacher or prophet but they deny His resurrection - that the hope we have is a living hope in the person of Jesus Christ. We have have this living hope inside us but do we ‘live’ like we do? We often don’t because of distractions. John 5: 1-17 details the distractions of the enemy that deny us the vision of Jesus Our Living Hope.
