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.
Walking in the Light - John Lynch
We have a special guest speaking, John Lynch of John Lynch Speaks (www.johnlynchspeaks.com). John is the author of many books including his most recent release, On My Worst Day.
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.
Complaining, Praising, and Hoping - Psalm 31
As we close out 2020, it is natural to reflect on how difficult a year it has been, and hope that next year will be better. But what if next year is not better? What if next year is more of the same, or even worse? Where do we find the hope to continue?
We look to those who have gone before us for their wisdom. Particularly, David in Psalm 31 where he writes about his distress, loneliness, and struggles and how he placed his hope in God as an answer.
Learning to Wait with God - Psalm 27:14
One of the hardest, if not most hardest thing to do in the Christian's walk is to wait. Waiting for change in our circumstance. Waiting to hear from God. Waiting for the healing we ask for. Waiting for an open seat in a coffee shop. How do we wait upon the Lord?
Pastor Robin teaches us from Psalm 27:14 the power that comes from God as He strengthens our patience as we wait.
The God who Grieves - Ephesians 4:30
We have a God who grieves. A grief that is different from anger, but a result of His great love for us. What then causes this grief? Pastor Ross explores this in Ephesians 4:30.
