WALKING WORTHY…
Most of us want to live with purpose, but days slip into weeks and weeks into years, and we wonder where the time went. We explore what it might mean to slow down, listen, and live in a way that brings real joy.
AI: Allegiance and Identity
A look at Mark 3:20-35, where Jesus is accused by the religious leaders of casting out demons by the power of Satan — and his response about a house divided against itself. This teaching connects that passage to the pull of allegiance and identity in our own political and cultural moment, and to Jesus' redefinition of family: “Whoever does God's will is my brother and sister and mother.”
Salt and Light: The Start of Our Next Hundred Years
Drawing from Matthew 5:13–16, this homecoming message casts a vision for what it looks like when a local church takes seriously its call to be salt and light — not through one big event, but through a decade of consistent, Spirit-led ministry to children, youth, and families.
More than a Paycheque? Rethinking the Meaning of Work
From Genesis to Ephesians, Scripture has a lot to say about work — more than we often realize.
Our view of the “End-Times”
Exploring the Church of God perspective on the end-times. Pastor Nathan offers some insights on how to read the book of Revelation and contrasts the Amillenial view with the Premillenial view of the end-times.
Women, Teaching & the Hard Texts: An Egalitarian Reading
How do we faithfully handle 1 Timothy 2 and 1 Corinthians 14 without ignoring the rest of Scripture? In this teaching, Pastor Nathan walks through these difficult passages in their context — the false teaching in Ephesus, the temple of Artemis, the call to order in Corinthian worship — and shows why "quiet" doesn't mean "silent" and why these were local fixes, not timeless bans.
Why the Name on the Church Sign Actually Matters
Have you ever driven past a church and wondered what the name on the sign is all about? This message digs into what a church name is actually supposed to mean — and what it would look like if a community of people genuinely lived up to the name they're carrying. It's honest, practical, and surprisingly interesting, even if church isn't usually your thing. No religious background needed.
God's Grace Goes Before Us
Have you ever looked back at your life and noticed a trail of moments — a conversation, a crisis, a connection — that all seemed to lead you toward Jesus? That's not coincidence. That's prevenient grace.
Letting God Out of the Box: The Real Meaning of Pentecost
In this powerful Pentecost Sunday message, we explore the deep-seated human instinct to define, quantify, and ultimately box God into our own comfortable definitions. From the physical world to our narrow religious frameworks, human history shows a constant struggle to control the divine. But as the story of Pentecost reminds us, God refuses to be contained.
Gifting Over Gender: How the Early Church Empowered Women in Ministry
Living as a Christian isn't a destination—it’s a lifelong journey of transformation. In this sermon, we dive into Galatians 3:28 and Romans 16:1-7 to look at how the early church radically broke down cultural hierarchies, specifically exploring what the New Testament reveals about the prominent role of women in ministry.
How to Have Faith in Dark Times: The Story of Jochebed
What do you do when you are faced with impossible circumstances and an uncertain future? In this Mother’s Day message, we look at the life of Jochebed, the mother of Moses. Though she lived in a time of great darkness and oppression, her remarkable faith in an unshakable God created a legacy that changed history.
When God Ruining Your Plans is Actually a Blessing
While Paul’s dream was to use Rome as a base to reach Spain, that plan never came to fruition the way he intended. Instead, he ended up in chains—but not before writing a letter that would transform the course of Western history.
The God of Hope: Endurance, Encouragement, and Praise
Drawing from the teachings of Paul and the story of Paul and Silas in the dungeon, we explore how worship aligns us with our true purpose. Whether you are in a season of "smooth sailing" or a "harsh winter," learn how the God of Hope provides the perseverance and encouragement you need to abound in joy.
Identity Over Opinion: How to Stop Being a "Judgy" Christian
In this message, we dive into Romans 14 to explore the historical tension between Jewish and Gentile believers in the early Roman church. From dietary laws and "the bacon debate" to deep-seated cultural traditions, Paul challenges us to examine our own consciences.
Are You Judging or Doubting? | A Study in Romans 14
What does it truly mean to follow Jesus? In this message, we dive into Romans 14 to explore how the early church navigated the tension between freedom and conscience. The Christian faith is not just a religion—it’s a reality based on the empty tomb. But as we live out that reality, how do we handle the "meat issues"—those areas where we disagree on what is right or wrong?
Why Jesus is more than just “Fire Insurance”
In this Resurrection Sunday message, we challenge the common "fire insurance" view of Christianity—the idea that Jesus died only to save us from hell or to give us a reward after we die. While eternity is a beautiful promise, Jesus’ primary message was about something much more immediate: The Kingdom of God is near.
Coming Home: How Sin Changes Your Perspective, Not God’s Heart
Have you ever felt like "home" is a place where you are not? In this message, we explore the concept of home—not as a physical location, but as a place of rest, well-being, and total acceptance.
Drawing from the famous story of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15, we look at a powerful truth: Sin changes our view of God, but it never changes God’s view of us. Whether you feel like the younger brother in the "pig pen" of life or the older brother struggling with resentment, the Father is waiting with open arms.
Redemptive vs. Preventative: Understanding the Two Sides of the Gospel
Is the Gospel primarily about keeping you out of trouble (Preventative) or rescuing you from it (Redemptive)? While both are true, many long-time believers slide toward a version of faith that is all about effort, rules, and "not messing up."
When we lose sight of the Redemptive Gospel, we stop encountering God and start focusing on our own performance. Join us as we walk through the Book of Galatians to see how the Holy Spirit brings true transformation that a "veneer" of legalism never can.
Why You Aren’t “Further Along" in Your Faith (And Why That’s Okay)
Have you ever felt like you should be a "better Christian" by now? After decades of following Jesus, many of us still feel a gap between where we are and where we thought we’d be. In this message, we look at the famous story of Jesus walking on the water (Matthew 14) to discover a liberating truth: God isn't looking for "Super Disciples"—He’s looking for a human-sized you.
