As we read through the account of the transfiguration, we read God the Father’s testimony of who Jesus is.

2024-08-11 Sermon – Who Is Jesus?
This week we continue with our sermon series in the Gospel of Luke. In Luke chapter 9 verse 20, Jesus asks his disciples “Who do you say I am?” As disciples of Jesus, we all have to answer this question and consider the implications our answer is to have on our lives.
2024-08-04 Sermon – Mustard Seed Sized Faith

2024-07-28 Sermon – Great Expectations
We all have expectations of God, whether our hearts are in the rocky, weedy or good soil stages. Sometimes our expectations of God are not in accord with His expectations for us.

2024-07-21 Legion and the Lake
To paraphrase the words of the great church father John Chrysostom, who lived in the fourth century: We are also on a voyage, not crossing the sea of Galilee, but crossing the lake of life from earth to heaven. Let us prepare a strong ship, the kind that the buffeting and discouragements of this lifeContinue reading “2024-07-21 Legion and the Lake”
2024-07-14 Sermon – Parable of the Soils
In Luke chapter 8, Jesus tells a parable of a Sower sowing seed onto different kinds of soil. We know from His explanation that He is the Sower, and the seed represents the Word or the Gospel.

2024-07-07 Sermon – Jesus Anointed
In Luke chapter 7 we read of Jesus being anointed by a sinful woman. She loved much because she had been forgiven much. Let us also pause and reflect how much Jesus has done for us, and how He has forgiven our sins.
2024-06-30 Sermon – John’s Doubt
In Luke chapter 7, from verse 18 to 35, we read of an encounter between Jesus and John the Baptist’s disciples. We are surprised that John the Baptist himself, although the greatest prophet, had doubts about how Jesus’ ministry was being worked out. Similarly, we should question whether our expectations of the Lord in ourContinue reading “2024-06-30 Sermon – John’s Doubt”
2024-06-23 Sermon – The Widow’s Son
Join us this week as we look at the account of Jesus raising a widow’s son from the dead. From this passage, we learn that God’s heart goes out to us in our suffering, and that He has come to help His people.
2024-06-09 Sermon – Judge Not
In Luke chapter 6, Jesus teaches us not to judge or condemn. These activities belong to God, who is able to judge impartially. Only God can bring true justice and grace into these situations. But what about the times we are called on to discern right from wrong in our daily lives as believers? JesusContinue reading “2024-06-09 Sermon – Judge Not”
