In this sermon, Pastor Ross delves into Genesis 22, verses 1-14 to uncover the profound foreshadowing of Easter within the story of Abraham and Isaac. Exploring the sacrificial journey of Genesis 22, we unravel the significance of Mount Moriah and its echoes of the Cross, revealing how Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son prefigures the ultimate act of love seen in Jesus Christ. Through careful examination, we discover the profound connection between Isaac and the ram, illuminating the pro...

Paul tells Timothy to fight the good fight of faith. What does that mean? Taking a closer look at 1 Timothy chapter 6 - we can see that it is possible for Christians - even pastors to get out of the good fight. Pastor Robin highlights how Paul illustrates for believers the what and the how of keeping in the good fight.

The story of Ishmael and Isaac is more than just a tale of one brother jealous of the other. It is a portrayal of Law vs Grace. Of Flesh vs Spirit. Of self-dependence vs Christ-dependent. Of death vs life. Using the Apostle Paul’s explanation in Galatians chapter 4, Pastor Ross explains what it means to live by the Spirit and not under the Law.

The story of Abraham and Abimelech feels like deja-vu from his journey into Egypt. Twenty-five years later, Abraham lies about his relationship with Sarah to protect himself out of a greater fear of Abimelech than his fear of God. But it is much more than a story of Abraham's failure. It is a story of God's grace and redemption of this righteous man.

The story of Sodom and Gomorrah is an important and unforgettable one. And that is by God's design and intent because it was meant to be an eternal warning to everyone about the coming judgement that each person will face in the day of Jesus' return. But if we think that the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was only their immoral behaviour, then we will miss the real sin - their lack of reverence and respect of God and His authority. Pastor Ross guides us through the famous passage and helps us identif...

The kingdom of God is the rule of Christ. It is synonymous with the saying ‘Jesus is Lord’. Jesus’ rule is not just a place but a here and now that when we step into it we exert His authority over the kingdom of darkness wherever we go. In today’s sermon, Pastor Robin highlights how Jesus’ rule is the reason for accepting, forgiving, and rejoicing with each other as the body of Christ.

Every relationship is only as good as the communication. That is true in marriages, friendships, and even with co-workers. And the same is true with God. When we struggle to hear from Him, it will limit the depth to our relationship. But is hearing God as difficult as we have been led to believe? Or is it something that we are invited to grow into with our loving Heavenly Father?

Doubt is part of the human condition. Denial, pushing it down, or ignoring it won't stop them from eating away at our hope. In Genesis 17 and 18, we see Abraham and Sarah promised a miracle which they laughed at when God first told them. Yet, their doubt didn't decide their faith. Pastor Ross explores what to do when doubt fills our mind.

In Genesis 17, we have a continuation of the terms of the covenant between God and Abram and all his descendants. In chapter 17, God changes Abram's name to Abraham, and Sarai to Sarah. But He also implements a covenant of circumcision that is much more than a physical act. It was meant as a sign to point to a greater spiritual reality that God would accomplish in the hearts of those who believe in Jesus.

The story of Sarai and Hagar in Genesis 16 is a sad tale of what happens when we operate out of the flesh, even trying to do God's will FOR Him, but in our own strength. God wants us to wait upon Him and His power, not do it our way and on our timeline - lest we produce an Ishmael and not an Isaac.

The greatest mistake the Church has made is mixing the Old Covenant (The Law) with the New Covenant (Grace). In doing so, we lose the power of both.

Everyone is after the ‘Better Me’ in 2024 but that is not what God has called us to. He called us to seek first the Kingdom. So where does the power source come from to do that?

The covenant that God made Abram in Genesis 15 is actually the New Covenant that Christians have with God through Jesus Christ. That reality has profound consequences, specifically for the nation of Israel. Has the church replaced Israel (aka supersessionism)? Does Israel still have a role to play with God?

In Genesis chapter 15, God made a covenant with Abram. That's a big deal because that covenant is our New Covenant today.

Imitation gets a bad rap. Often a form of humour and humiliation, imitation in Biblical terms and definition, was a term of honour. It demonstrated a form of allegiance that spoke of great affection between two parties. Paul urges the Corinthian Church to imitate him. Pastor Robin shares about 1 Corinthians chapter 4 as an affirmation but also a warning to the 21st Century church - to really understand the use of that verb in new covenant writings.

The Bible is a covenant document that details the various covenants that God makes with mankind. To truly appreciate the power of that statement, and therefore to understand the kind of relationship and connection we have with God, we need to step back and understand what it is a covenant. Pastor Ross does this by examining threshold covenant in particular and how it is the basis of the first Passover in Exodus 12, which was foretelling what Christ ultimately did on the cross.

The story of Lot and Abram going their separate ways has a lot more going on than meets the eye. We discover how God is moving in Abram's life to bring repentance. Abram's life was one where he was learning to trust God through obedience from the heart. This what it means to live a life of repentance, where we are learning to rely not upon ourselves, but upon God's power.

The need to be perfect is something that many of us can relate to on some level. Ultimately, this desire for perfection has its roots in the belief that if I work hard enough I can prove my value in what I do. But God has a better plan. He desires we look to Him for our perfection and to rest in his finished work at the cross.

Meditation on Jesus’ instruction is the key to perseverance, prosperity and protection in the life of the believer. But meditation is a bizarre concept that - even though Biblical, is a head scratcher for new covenant believers. Pastor Robin highlights how meditating on Jesus’ instructions is an essential part of the believer’s life based on Psalm 1.

The life of Abraham is an incredible example of how God works in the lives of those who trust Him. Despite being a man who struggled with fear, mistrust, doubt, and more -- he is known as God's friend. Someone that God blessed personally, nationally, and for the entire world.

The Bible has a fantastic history. The most famous book in the world is a collection of writings from thousands of years ago by many different authors from different parts of the world. But it is so much more. It is the Word of God communicated through His chosen people who witnessed God's action and His heart firsthand. These writings have been preserved and passed down through the generations over time "so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, ...

Sometimes it’s not the big ‘asks’ from God that are the challenge. Sometimes it’s the small ones that trips us up. The visit to the neighbour, the small talk with the cashier, or the family get together that can sometimes be the hardest moment to go with God’s leading. Remembering who and why you were made the way you are is surprisingly the key to a life of surrender.

Time for a pop-quiz. It is the most important test that we need to pass. It is a test to see if we possess faith in Christ, and therefore if Christ is in us. Not everybody passes this test (Universalism is not Biblical), nor is it only for some (God did not predestine only some for faith). Anyone can pass - as long as they possess faith.
