    Pastor Scott McArthur Scripture Reading Philippians 4:4-13 Summary: Asaph, a worship leader, confesses his near collapse of faith after envying the wicked, who prosper, boast, and scoff at God while seeming untouched by trouble. He grows bitter, questioning whether his own integrity and clean…

  2. Luke 19:5-6 - “How to Find a Spouse”

    Pastor Mark Jones Scripture Reading Exodus 2:11-25 Summary: Using Luke 19 and the pattern of biblical well-narratives (Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob and Rachel, Moses and Zipporah, Jesus and the Samaritan woman), the sermon traces how Christ sought His bride, the Church. He was deeply social, engaging...

    Pastor JD de Klerk Scripture Reading Genesis 2:18-25 Scripture Reading Malachi 2:10-16 Summary: Pharisees test Jesus by asking if divorce is lawful, hoping to trap him between rival rabbinic views and King Herod's own scandalous divorce. Jesus redirects from Moses' concession in Deuteronomy…

    Pastor Mark Jones Scripture Reading Acts 5:17-42 Summary: Colossians 1:16 declares that all things—visible and invisible, thrones, dominions, rulers, authorities, angels good and evil, animals, weather, and even wicked men—were created through Christ and for Christ. Examples from Scripture and...

    Pastor Scott McArthur Scripture Reading Romans 9:14-24 Summary: Jonah sits east of Nineveh waiting to watch its destruction, still angry that God spared the city. When God appoints a plant for shade, Jonah rejoices, but when a worm destroys it and a scorching wind beats down on him, he again…

  6. Psalm 119:105 - “Buongiorno Principessa”

    Pastor Mark Jones Scripture Reading 1 Samuel 23:1-14 Summary: Starting from Psalm 119:105, the message explores how believers discern God's will when Scripture gives no explicit command, contrasting God's revealed will (His law) with His decretive will (providence), and noting how figures like...

  7. Mark 9:42-50 - “Would You Rather”

    Pastor JD de Klerk Scripture Reading 1 Corinthians 8 Summary: Jesus warns his disciples using three stark 'would you rather' scenarios about sin's seriousness. Causing a vulnerable believer to stumble deserves worse punishment than drowning with a millstone. Better to lose a hand, foot, or...

  8. Psalm 118:5-6 - “God Helps Those Who Help Themselves”

    Pastor Mark Jones Scripture Reading Genesis 24:1-28 Summary: God's sovereign control of all things does not cancel human effort and prayer; rather, Scripture shows God working through means—David facing Goliath, Joshua's spies, Abraham's servant praying specifically for Rebekah, Elijah praying…

  9. Jonah 4:1-4 - “A Nuclear Meltdown”

    Pastor Scott McArthur New Testament Reading Luke 15:11-32 Summary: Jonah, having preached to Nineveh and seen God relent from judgment, becomes furiously angry rather than rejoicing. He confesses accurate theology, quoting that God is gracious, merciful, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast…

  10. Psalm 119:71 - “Dear Eduardo”

    Pastor Mark Jones Scripture Reading Job 37:1-13 Summary: Drawing on Psalm 119:71, suffering is shown as neither random nor purposeless but as God's chosen means of shaping good people, since Christians truly possess Spirit-given goodness. Affliction may be punitive judgment, the general curse on…

    more

  11. Mark 9:30-41 - “Sophomores”

    Pastor JD de Klerk Scripture Reading Numbers 11:16-30 Summary: Jesus leads his disciples through Galilee privately, teaching them that the Son of Man will be delivered into human hands, killed, and rise after three days—yet the disciples remain fearful and uncomprehending. In Capernaum they argue...

  12. 1 Samuel 25:33-35 - “Drink Red Bull”

    Pastor Mark Jones Scripture Reading 1 Samuel 25 Summary: David, enraged at Nabal's insult, prepares to take bloody revenge, but Abigail intercepts him with wisdom, humility, and provision, turning him from sin before he acts.

    Pastor Scott McArthur Old Testament Reading Joel 2:12-17 New Testament Reading Romans 2:1-11 Summary: The Ninevites hear Jonah's warning and truly believe God, responding with fasting, sackcloth, and a national turning from sin, led by the king who abandons his throne for ashes and commands even...

    Pastor Mark Jones Scripture Reading Isaiah 45:14-25 Summary: Philip, directed by an angel and the Spirit, leaves a fruitful ministry in Samaria to meet a single Ethiopian eunuch reading Isaiah 53 on a desert road.

    Pastor JD de Klerk Scripture Reading Matthew 17:14-20 Summary: A father brings his demon-possessed, seizure-suffering son to Jesus after the disciples fail to cast out the spirit, drawing scorn from watching scribes. Jesus laments the unbelief of the crowd, hears the father's desperate plea, and...

  16. Psalm 139:13-16 - “An Ugly Toad”

    Pastor Mark Jones Scripture Reading Job 21 Summary: David reflects on being formed by God in the womb, marveling at the intricate, fearful and wonderful design of the human body from a single cell to fully formed life. The passage points beyond biology to God's sovereign providence—every day of a...

  17. Jonah 3 - “Ancient Grace”

    Pastor Scott McArthur Old Testament Reading Jeremiah 18:1-11 New Testament Reading Matthew 12:38-42 Summary: Jonah receives a second commission after his rescue from the great fish, and this time he obeys, walking into the wicked, idol-filled city of Nineveh with an eight-word warning: forty days...

  18. Romans 11:33-36 - “Mystery of providence”

    Pastor Mark Jones Scripture Reading Psalm 57 Summary: Beginning a new series on God's providence, the sermon grounds the topic in Romans 11:33-36's praise of God's unsearchable wisdom, then turns mainly to Psalm 57, David's prayer while hiding from Saul in the cave at Engedi. David's cry "be...

  19. Jonah 1:17-2:10 - “Then Jonah Prayed”

    Pastor Scott McArthur Old Testament Reading Psalm 138 Summary: God preserves disobedient Jonah by appointing a great fish to swallow him after the sailors cast him overboard, showing his sovereign, redemptive purpose even amid rebellion. From the fish's belly Jonah prays, moving from hard-hearted...

  20. 1 Peter 4:1-11

    Pastor John Neufeld Scripture Reading Psalm 73 Summary: Peter calls believers to arm themselves with Christ's mindset toward suffering, since Christ himself lived a life marked by sorrow, rejection, and pain long before the cross. Suffering is not evidence of God's absence but a gracious tool God...

    Pastor JD de Klerk Scripture Readings: Exodus 24:12-18, 34:29-35 Summary: Jesus leads Peter, James, and John up a mountain, where he is transfigured before them, revealing his divine glory alongside Moses and Elijah. God's voice from the cloud declares Jesus his beloved Son and commands the...

  22. Heb. 10:25 - “Willful Abandonment”

    Pastor Mark Jones Scripture Readings: Numbers 15:22-31 Summary: Hebrews 10:19-31 warns believers who deliberately and habitually abandon gathered worship. Christ has opened access to God, so his people are to draw near in faith, hold fast hope, and stir one another to love and good…

    Pastor Mark Jones Scripture Readings: Nahum 1:3 Summary: Nahum 1:3 declares that the Lord is slow to anger yet great in power, warning Nineveh and Israel not to mistake divine patience for weakness or indifference.

    Pastor JD de Klerk Scripture Readings: Ephesians 6:1-9; Colossians 3:18-4:1 Summary: The fifth commandment calls believers to honor father and mother, understood broadly to include all superiors—political, ancient, spiritual, and domestic. Honor involves reverence, obedience, and gratitude…

  25. Mark 8:27-9:1 - “Prediscipleship Counselling”

    Pastor JD de Klerk Summary: Jesus asks His disciples who people say He is, then presses them personally: who do you say I am?
