Boasting in Our Plans
James 3:13-17 This Sunday evening, Karl brings us the word from James as we continue our series ‘Faith that Works’. James 3 tells us that there are two views of planning: Man-centred and God-centred. Karl exhorts us from James to take a God-centred ‘if it is your will, Lord’ approach to the plans we make in life. We must stop every now and then and reflect on our busyness, seeking the Lord’s will for our life.
Human Plans, God’s Plans
Micah 2 This Sunday morning, we continue our series in the book of Micah. Michael demonstrates to us from Micah to God’s woe against the covetous, the selective hearing of God’s people, and His plan to gather a remnant for Himself.
A Call to Repent
James 4:1-3 This Sunday evening, Michael brings us the Word of God from James 4. James tells us that we must repent because friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God, because God jealously longs for us, and because God gives grace to those who humble themselves. Humble repentance looks like submitting to God, purifying our actions and attitudes, and experiencing Godly sorrow for sin.
Out of the Depths
Jonah 1:17-2:10 This Baptism Sunday morning, Michael exhorts us from the book of Jonah. He explains how God’s grace is for those who admit their helpless predicament, His grace means new life, and His grace fuels our commitment to Him.
Two Kinds of Wisdom
James 3:13-18 This Sunday evening, pastor Karl explains from James 3 the difference between worldly wisdom that is envious, selfish, and disordered, and Godly wisdom that is submissive to Christ, pure, peace-loving, fruit-bearing, and merciful. We must be growing in Godly wisdom through conversion to Christ, reverence of Him, reading Scripture, mentorship from older Christians, and Prayer.
Who is Like the Lord?
Micah 1 This Sunday morning, Michael introduces our new morning series on the book of Micah. He explains the historical background and context of Micah before showing how Micah 1 demonstrates the announcement of God’s judgement, the extent of God’s judgment, and the reason for God’s judgement on the people of Israel. The heart of the human problem is that we have lifted up other things in worship in the place that only God deserves to be. These are counterfeit…
Learning to Listen
Nehemiah 8 Michael brings the Word of God from Nehemiah 8 this Sunday evening. In it, we see how we are to listen to God’s Word expectantly, attentively, and submissively. Likewise, we are to respond to His Word with tears of repentance, with joyful hearts, and with readiness to obey what He has instructed us to do.
Gospel Shaped Fellowship
Philippians 1:1-11 This Sunday morning, Michael shares with us from Philippians. Paul in Philippians exhorts us that our fellowship in Christ should produce gratitude for each other, affection for each other, and prayers for each other.
The God Who Works Wonders
Psalms 111:1-10 This Sunday morning, Michael exhorts us from Psalm 111. Through this Psalm, we learn to praise the loving God who rescues us, provides for us, gives us our inheritance, and will always keep His word. Truly we can depend on Him for our every need and trust in Him for our salvation.
The God Who Delivers
Psalm 34:1-14 This Sunday morning, Peter exhorts us through Psalm 34 to fear the Lord, while submitting our lives to God in order to deal with worldly fear. We must fear the Lord by guarding our tongue, turning from evil and doing good, and guarding our hearts.
Taming the Tongue
James 3:1-12 Pastor Karl brings us the message this Sunday evening. He explains how James 3:1-12 is a warning to teachers that they will be judged more strictly. It also explains how the tongue is destructive and uncontrollable without Christ. Christ is the only one who can help us speak in a manner worthy of the gospel.
The God Who Walks Alongside
Psalm 23:1-6 Let us find our security, provision, spiritual refreshment, guidance, comfort, peace and abundant blessings in God, our loving and faithful Shepherd.
