This week is the second week of Prayer and Self-Denial in support of our Baptist missionaries. This week we look at the theme “created in the image of God.” How does being created in the image of God equip us for mission?

2023-07-16 Sermon – Renewed Together – Part 1
This Sunday we begin three weeks of Prayer and Self-Denial in support of our Baptist missionaries. But mission is not limited to overseas mission, in fact mission can occur right in our own backyard. Who is God calling you to serve, where might your place be in mission? Are you willing to answer the callContinue reading “2023-07-16 Sermon – Renewed Together – Part 1”
2023-07-02 Sermon – Wrestling with God
This Sunday we continue on in the story of Jacob. Jacob has two miraculous encounters on his journey home that have much to say to our faith journeys.
2023-06-25 Sermon – Jacob Married
This Sunday we continue to look at the life of Jacob through the lens of a Kingdom life in particular the twenty or so years he lived in exile in Haran. We see how human brokenness can impact others but when God is kept at the centre it makes all the difference.
2023-06-11 Sermon – Jacob’s Ladder
In Genesis 28, we read the extraordinary account of Jacob’s encounter with God. Instead of sanctioning him, though, God blessed Jacob. Jacob did the right thing by recognizing God and worshipping Him, but he was mistaken in making his acceptance of God conditional upon his own human terms, rather than trusting God entirely. Join usContinue reading “2023-06-11 Sermon – Jacob’s Ladder”
2023-06-04 Sermon – The Nephilim
Why did God judge the world through the flood at the time of Noah? The answer can be found in Genesis chapter 6, in the account of the Nephilim. Join us today as we explore the different interpretive schemes in an effort to discover who the “sons of God” were and who the Nephilim were.
2023-05-21 Sermon – Birthright
This week we learn about Esau and Jacob, the twin boys born to Isaac and Rebekah. Such rivalry existed between the two that they jostled with each other even in their mother’s womb. What Kingdom lessons can we learn and how might we apply these lessons to the birthright that we share with Christ.
2023-05-14 Sermon – Unanswered Prayer
This Sunday we continue to look at the story of Isaac in the Bible. There we encounter two prayers that have a lot to teach us about how God approaches our prayers to Him. Join me as we unpack the process of prayer.
2023-05-07 Sermon – Isaac
Today we look at the life of Isaac and what it can teach us in our faith life journey. We make use of the Kingdom lens to understand why we go through times of testing and what to hold on to, so that we don’t loose hope when we can’t yet see what God isContinue reading “2023-05-07 Sermon – Isaac”
2023-04-30 Sermon – Waiting on God
This Sunday we return to the story of Abraham in Genesis 16. We learn that our journey of faith needs to be a patient one. Patient, so that we can allow God to be at work in His time. This can be a place of tension but God is a God who sees us andContinue reading “2023-04-30 Sermon – Waiting on God”
