Prayer and Praise Thanksgiving Service: Thankful for God's Great Salvation - October 11 2026
Thanksgiving is a time when we pause to consider the many reasons we have to be grateful. We give thanks for the food on our tables, the people we love, the homes in which we live, and the many ways God provides for us. Yet, as important as these blessings are, have you ever wondered whether we...

Proverbs: It's Decision Time - October 4 2026
Every day we are confronted with choices. Some are relatively insignificant, while others have the potential to shape the direction of our lives. But there is one decision that is more important than all the others. It is the decision about what kind of life we are going to live and whose voice…

The Word of God - September 27 2026
When we open the Bible, who is speaking to us? This message challenges the idea that Scripture is outdated or merely a book to analyze, and shows from Hebrews 4:12 and Isaiah 55:10-11 that the Word of God is living, active, and always accomplishes what God sends it to do. From creation to the...
-
Proverbs: The Way of Wisdom: Faithfulness that Leads to Peace - September 20 2026
What does it really mean to live wisely? Most of us would probably say that wisdom means knowing the right thing to do. But wisdom is more than knowing. There are times when we know exactly what we should do, yet we still struggle to do it. There are moments when God's way seems clear, but...
-
Proverbs: The Wisdom We Need - September 13 2026
We live in a world filled with information, advice, opinions, and competing voices. We have more ways than ever to find answers to our questions, yet having information does not necessarily mean that we know how to live well. We can be intelligent and still make foolish decisions. We can be...
-
Five Half Truths - #5: Good Deeds Matter - September 6 2026
Most people would agree that good deeds matter. We instinctively admire those who help others, serve their communities, give generously, care for people in need, and seek to make the world a better place. We also recognize that our actions have consequences. The things we do affect other people…

Five Half Truths - #4: Jesus is Truly a Man - August 30 2026
There are statements that are completely false, and there are statements that are dangerous because they are only partly true. A half-truth takes something that is true and leaves out something essential, producing a conclusion that is ultimately false. Consider the statement: “Jesus is truly a...
-
Five Half Truths - #3 God is Love - August 23, 2026
There are statements that sound so good, so positive, and so comforting that we rarely stop to ask whether they are completely true. One of those statements is, “God is love.” And, of course, the Bible says exactly that. First John 4:8 tells us, “God is love.” But here is the danger: a truth can...
-
Five Half Truths - #2: All Religions are the Same - August 16 2026
Have you ever heard someone say, “It doesn’t matter what you believe, as long as you are sincere”? Or perhaps, “All religions are really just different paths to the same God”? In our increasingly diverse society, statements like these are common. They sound tolerant, respectful, and even...
-
Five Half Truths - #1: The Bible is Written by Men - August 9 2026
Who wrote the Bible? The obvious answer is, “Men wrote the Bible.” Moses wrote the Pentateuch. David wrote many of the Psalms. Isaiah wrote his prophecy. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John wrote the Gospels. Paul wrote letters to churches and individuals. Peter wrote two letters. Human beings picked…

The Beatitudes: The Joy of Persecution - August 2 2026
No one naturally seeks persecution. We instinctively avoid rejection, criticism, and suffering. We want to be accepted, appreciated, and at peace with those around us. Yet as Jesus concludes the Beatitudes, He makes a startling declaration. Instead of saying, "Blessed are those who are admired,"…
more -
Adoption - July 26, 2026
This sermon explores Galatians 4:4-7 and the theme of spiritual adoption, contrasting modern Western views of adoption with the practice in ancient Rome, where adoption gave a person's status, debts, and inheritance immediate and full legal standing. Drawing on this backdrop, along with…

The Courage of My Convictions - July 19 2026
What has Jesus entrusted to you — and are you investing it well? A personal testimony on faith, calling, and a fresh take on the Parable of the Talents Guest Speaker: Dr. Peter Agwa
-
Such a Great Salvation - July 12 2026
Hebrews 2:3 explores the depth and glory of what Christ has done for us. In an age of superficiality, this salvation stands apart: great because of its Author, our Creator who became one of us; great because of the perfection of Christ's work as our merciful High Priest; great because of its...
-
The Beatitudes - The Peacemaker: The Paternity of Peace
Conflict surrounds us. Nations wage war. Communities are divided. Families experience painful tension. Friendships fracture over misunderstandings. Even within our own hearts, we often wrestle with anxiety, resentment, and anger. Ever since humanity rebelled against God, broken relationships have...
-
When Winning is Losing: Lessons from Jephthah - June 28 2026
Today we explored the challenging story of Jephthah in Judges 11:29–40 with CY Yan. Far from being a simple “hero of faith,” Jephthah is a broken, insecure leader whose rash vow and tragic sacrifice show what happens when we try to manipulate God and borrow the world’s ways instead of trusting...
-
The Beatitudes - The Pure in Heart: The Reward of Purity - June 21 2026
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8). With these words, Jesus reveals both the character of a true kingdom citizen and the incredible reward promised by God. In a world that often celebrates outward appearance, Jesus points deeper, to the heart. The purity that…

The Beatitudes - The Merciful: The Dividend of Mercy - June 14 2026
Every person longs for mercy at some point in life. We hope for mercy when we have failed, when our mistakes are exposed, and when we need someone to look beyond our shortcomings and offer compassion instead of condemnation. Yet Jesus teaches us that mercy is not only something we receive from...
-
The Beatitudes - The Fullness of Hunger - June 7 2026
Most people spend their lives trying to satisfy their hunger. We hunger for success, security, comfort, acceptance, pleasure, and significance. We chase one desire after another, convinced that the next achievement, possession, or experience will finally make us content. Yet no matter how much we...
-
The Beatitudes - The Meek: The Strength of Gentleness - May 31 2026
Strength is often measured by power, influence, or the ability to overcome others. The world admires the loud, the aggressive, and the self-assertive. Yet in the Beatitudes, Jesus turns our understanding upside down. In Matthew 5:5, He declares, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the...
-
The Beatitudes: Those Who Mourn: The Comfort of Mourning - May 17 2026
In a world that avoids sorrow at all costs, Jesus speaks words that sound completely upside down: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” The world tells us to hide grief, ignore sin, distract ourselves from pain, and pursue happiness above everything else. But Jesus teaches...
-
The Beatitudes - Poor in Spirit: The Riches of Poverty - May 10 2026
“The Riches of Poverty” sounds like a contradiction to the world around us. We spend our lives trying to become self-sufficient, successful, and secure. We admire people who appear strong, capable, and confident. Yet Jesus opens the Sermon on the Mount with a blessing that turns the values of…
more -
The Beatitudes - Sermon on the Mount Overview - May 3 2026`
In a world that measures success by power, recognition, and self-advancement, the idea of being “blessed” often feels tied to comfort and achievement. People speak of blessing as good circumstances, personal wins, or visible prosperity. Yet when Jesus speaks of blessing, He turns those…

Seek God - April 26 2026
God invites us to seek Him while He is near (Isaiah 55), calling for an active, intentional response rather than passivity. Just as people once eagerly sought an audience with a king, we are invited to pursue His presence with urgency and expectation. When Jesus entered Jerusalem and the crowds...
-
Samson: The Weak Victor - April 19, 2026
Samson’s story is not what we expect from a hero. In Judges 16, we meet a man of incredible strength, yet repeated weakness. He is a judge set apart by God, yet constantly drawn toward compromise. Samson defeats enemies, breaks chains, and topples gates, but he cannot seem to master his own...
-
Samson: The Selfish Saviour - April 12 2026
We like our heroes clean, consistent, and easy to admire. We want leaders who make wise choices, who rise above selfish impulses, who live lives that seem worthy of imitation. But the Bible often refuses to give us such polished figures. Instead, it presents people like Samson, a man set apart by...
-
Resurrection Sunday Service - Can You Believe It? - April 5 2026
We live in a world that prizes proof. If something cannot be tested, measured, or verified, we tend to hold it at arm’s length. That instinct can be helpful in many areas of life, but it also shapes how we approach deeper questions, especially when it comes to faith. Many people are not openly...
-
Good Friday Service - Why Did Jesus Have To Die? - April 3 2026
People often ask, "Why couldn't God just forgive sin?" Why the cross? Why death? Why such suffering? The Bible's answer is not sentimental, but it is powerful: Jesus did not die by accident. He died by necessity. Scripture: Isaiah 53:4-6; Romans 3:23-26; 1 Peter 3:18Speaker: Pastor David Hallett
-
Jesus Changes Water into Wine - March 29 2026
Jesus’ first miracle in John 2:1–11 took place at a wedding in Cana of Galilee, where He turned water into wine. This moment revealed His glory and led His disciples to believe in Him. The setting itself is meaningful: His first sign happened at a wedding, underscoring the value of marriage,...
-
Samson: The Saviour No One Asked For - March 22 2026
Israel is in a familiar and tragic place in Judges 13. Once again, the people have done what is evil in the sight of the Lord. Yet something is different this time. There is no cry for help, no plea for mercy, no sign of repentance. God’s people are suffering under oppression, but they have grown...
-
Jephthah: The Manipulative Negotiator - March 15 2026
In moments of crisis, people often turn to negotiation. When trouble comes, we begin to bargain. “God, if You will help me out of this situation, then I will do this for You.” It is a very human instinct. We try to strike a deal with God, as though His mercy could be earned or His help secured by...
-
Abominable Abimelech - March 8 2026
Power can be a dangerous thing in the hands of the wrong person. When leadership becomes driven by ambition, insecurity, or selfish desire, it quickly turns destructive. History repeatedly shows that when leaders pursue their own glory rather than the good of the people they serve, communities...
-
Prayer and Praise Sunday: Praying for Power and Love - March 1 2026
In a world where our prayers often shrink to the size of our problems, the apostle Paul stretches them to the size of God. In Ephesians 3:14–21, we overhear a prayer that refuses to settle for surface change. Paul is not content with improved circumstances, better moods, or minor adjustments in...
-
The Desire for More: The Endless Pursuit - February 22 2026
The pursuit of “more” can quietly entrap the heart, convincing us that just a little extra—money, success, status—will finally bring peace. Yet Scripture reminds us that “godliness with contentment is great gain.” True contentment is not having everything we want, but trusting the hands shaping…
more -
When a Deliverer Loses His Way - February 15 2026
Success can be a dangerous season for God’s people, especially for those in leadership. The greatest threats often do not come in moments of fear or weakness, but after victory, when admiration grows and vigilance fades. Judges 8 confronts us with this uncomfortable truth. It shows how a...
-
God Guides Gutless Gideon - February 8 2026
When we think of heroes of faith, we often imagine bold confidence and fearless action. Gideon does not fit that picture at first glance. In Judges 6 and 7, we meet a man hiding from his enemies, doubting his own ability, and repeatedly asking God for reassurance. By human standards, Gideon…
more -
The Prophetess, The Participant, and The Peg - January 25, 2026
Judges 4 reminds us that God delights to bring deliverance in ways that overturn human expectations and magnify His own glory. Israel once again finds itself oppressed because of disobedience, crushed under the power of a formidable enemy with iron chariots and a ruthless commander. Yet the…
more -
The Spirit-led Avenger and The Southpaw Assassin - January 18 2026
The book of Judges confronts us with a sobering cycle that repeats itself throughout Israel’s early history in the land. God’s people forget the Lord, turn to sin, and find themselves oppressed by enemies they cannot overcome on their own. Yet again and again, the Lord responds not with...
-
Compromise with Corrupt Canaan - January 11 2026
Every generation faces the temptation to compromise. Small concessions often seem harmless, even practical, but Scripture shows how easily they can reshape a people’s hearts. In Judges 1 through 3, Israel stands at a critical moment. God had brought them into the land and commanded them to drive...
-
Depression and Divine Comfort - January 4 2026
This message speaks openly about seasons of illness, bereavement, and weakness, and about the reality of depression in our lives. Drawing from Scripture and personal encounters, Arthur speaks of clinical depression, and spiritual depression, which often arises from grief and prolonged trial....
-
Preparing to Enter 2026 - December 28 2025
As one year closes and another opens before us, many of us feel a mixture of anticipation and uncertainty. The calendar turns, but questions remain. What will 2026 hold for our families, our church, and our faith? In Joshua 1, God speaks into a moment very much like ours. Moses is gone. A new...
-
Christmas Eve Full Service - Faithful Simeon - December 24 2025
Many people talk about having a bucket list, a collection of experiences they hope to enjoy before life is over. Often those lists are filled with travel dreams, personal achievements, or unforgettable moments. In Luke 2, we meet a man whose deepest hope was far simpler and far greater. Simeon…
more -
The Lowly Shepherds - December 21 2025
The story of Christmas begins with an announcement, but not the kind we would expect. When God chose to make the birth of His Son known, He did not start in the halls of power or among the religious elite. Instead, His message broke into the quiet darkness of a field and reached a group of lowly...
-
Humble Mary - December 14 2025
Every year as we approach the Christmas season, we hear Mary’s name spoken with a sense of wonder. Yet her story is not only a Christmas story. It is a picture of what a humble heart looks like when it encounters the living God. Luke 1:28-55 invites us to stand beside Mary as she meets an angel,...
-
Quiet Joseph - December 7 2025
Joseph is one of the quietest figures in the story of Jesus, yet his steady obedience speaks with remarkable strength. In Matthew 1:18-25 we meet a man whose world has been shaken. Mary is found to be with child and Joseph must choose between his own reputation and obedience to the message of God...
-
The Four Beautiful Ladies - November 30, 2025
When we open the Gospel of Matthew we are greeted not by a story but by a list of names. At first glance the genealogy in Matthew 1 may seem ordinary. Yet behind these names stand stories filled with the grace of God. Matthew does something surprising by including four women in a genealogy that...
-
Worshipping God with the Ordinances - November 23 2025
Worshipping God with the ordinances begins with a simple yet profound truth. God has given baptism and communion as gifts that reveal His grace and call His people to respond with faith and devotion. These are not empty rituals. They are moments in which believers meet God through symbols that...
-
Worshipping God through Preaching - November 16 2025
Preaching is one of the most sacred moments in the life of the church because it brings God’s Word to God’s people. At its centre stands the Bible itself. Scripture is not ordinary speech. Instead, it is the living voice of the Lord who created us, saved us through Christ, and speaks to us by the...
-
Worshipping God with Money - November 9 2025
Money touches nearly every part of our lives. It can meet needs, provide comfort, and offer opportunities, yet it can also tempt our hearts toward greed, pride, or fear. Because of this, the way we handle money is never just a financial issue; it is a deeply spiritual one. Jesus taught that where...
-
Worshipping God with Prayer - November 2 2025
Prayer is one of the most powerful ways God’s people come together to worship Him. When believers unite their hearts in prayer, they demonstrate their shared faith, dependence, and love for the Lord. Throughout Scripture, God’s people gathered to seek His face together. The early church devoted...
