Worship with Unity - John 4:23-24
How do WE worship God with excellence? It's one thing for us to pursue that as an individual but how do we manage that as a community? We bring so many different histories, habits from shame, and religiosity into the mix - how is it possible.
In part two on the topic of worship, Pastor Robin outlines how God has a plan for worship that ends in unity not perfect performance.
Worship with Excellence - John 4:7-26
John 4:7-26 describes how we worship: by spirit and by truth. But what is worship? Pastor Robin illuminates how we're called to respond properly to the call to worship and how to worship with excellence.
Walk Wisely - Ephesians 5:15-17
Being intelligent is not the same thing as being wise. And having one doesn't guarantee the other. So, the Apostle Paul invites us to walk and live as wise people who make the most of the moment because they know the will of God. Pastor Ross explains this passage and teaches how we might know God's will for today.
Bring It Into the Light - Ephesians 5:11-14
In Ephesians 5:11-14, we are commanded to expose darkness by bringing it into the Light. The Light of Jesus which doesn't condemn, shame, and hate - but offers love, forgiveness and grace.
In this message we address the issue of abortion. What is it? And what is to be our response as the Church of Jesus Christ?
This is an honest and graphic discussion, parental guidance is advised.
Be Different - Ephesians 5:3-10
As children of God, we are called saints. That describes both our nature as well as our calling. It is a calling that is not to conform ourselves to the way the world thinks and operates, but a call to be different. To live as God calls us.
In Ephesians 5:3-10 we discover a call to live differently by living from what Jesus tells us to do in the moment.
When You're Burdened Down - Psalm 55
Burdens. We all have them. Burdens that carry from our past, from the pressure of life, and burdens from even the thoughts in our mind. What can we do with these burdens that will bring relief? Pastor Robin shares a lesson from King David when he endured a difficult time in his life and penned a famous psalm - Psalm 55.
Love Like You Are Loved - Ephesians 5:1-2
Ephesians 5:1-2 describes the most powerful and life changing truth is that exists - God loves you. It is a love that cleans, redeems, restores, and makes new. And is God's love that now motivates us to share with one another.

How to Forgive - Ephesians 4:31-32
There is only one answer to the pain and bitterness that remains from our past wounds. Forgiveness.
But how? How do we forgive those who have caused such deep hurt and offence? How do we recover when we lost so much? Thankfully, Father’s word shows us how in Ephesians 4:31-32. Join Pastor Ross as he leads us to discover the power of ‘just as.’
Life in a Panic Room - Ephesians 4:31-32
What we do with our hurts and wounds will determine the degree of freedom we will experience. If we decide that we never will allow anyone to ever hurt us again, we retreat into a 'panic room' of sorts within our selves. This form of self-protection will provide some protection from the abuse of others - but it will also keep love and life out as well. Guaranteeing that our wounds and hurts, which are locked up with us in our panic room, will only get worse.
