The Power of a Clear Conscience (Part 2 of 2)
Listen to the conclusion of the message "The Power of a Clear Conscience" on Live in the Light. Our conscience is a warning system for our hearts; it detects the things in our lives that do not honour the Lord. Sin, on the other hand, hardens our hearts, sometimes to the point that our conscience no longer warns us of the danger it brings. Paul was able to defend his integrity because he had a clear conscience—and a clear conscience is powerful. By God’s grace, we too can experience the freedom of a clear conscience through Christ. Pastor Robbie Symons is in 2 Corinthians 1:12-2:4.

The Power of a Clear Conscience (Part 1 of 2)
Join us on Live in the Light as we continue our sermon series walking through the book of 2 Corinthians. In this passage, we walk through the ingredients of a clear conscience—sincerity of character, integrity in words, and purity of heart. Our conscience is a warning system for our hearts; it detects the things in our lives that do not honour the Lord. Sin, on the other hand, hardens our hearts, sometimes to the point that our conscience no longer warns us of the danger it brings. Paul was able to defend his integrity because he had a clear conscience—and a clear conscience is powerful. By God’s grace, we too can experience the freedom of a clear conscience through Christ. Pastor Robbie Symons is in 2 Corinthians 1:12-2:4.

Finances and the Family (Part 1 of 2)
Did you know Jesus talked about money more than He did about heaven and hell? Not because He was focused on wealth, but because He knew how easily money competes for our hearts. As Matthew 6:21 says, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Of the 38 parables Jesus told, 16 deal with money and possessions. God calls us to put Him first in every area of life—including our finances. Join us today on Live in the Light as Pastor Robbie Symons unpacks biblical wisdom on managing money faithfully and honouring God through it.

The Classroom of Suffering (Part 2 of 2)
How can we grow during hard times? The apostle Paul has wisdom for us as he lived the testimony of pressing on while under the pressure of suffering for Christ. Pastor Robbie is teaching from 2 Corinthians 1:8-11 on Live in the Light.
-
96
The Sacred Classroom of Suffering (Part 1 of 2)
As Christ followers, we must have a robust understanding of suffering—and how God uses it to grow our dependence on Him. When we face suffering, we can easily be tempted to despair and rely on ourselves. Yet, it is often through this suffering that we are led into a beautiful reliance on the Lord. God has delivered us before, and he will do it again—sometimes in our trials and sometimes through them. So what are we called to do in our suffering? And how can we become people who pray for others who are struggling? We address these questions today on Live in the Light. Pastor Robbie is teaching from 2 Corinthians 1:8-11.

95
A Theology of Comfort (Part 2 of 2)
The things of this world that we look to for comfort—whether they be sports teams, relationships, TV shows, or material items—will always let us down. Listen in on Live in the Light and look to the God of comfort in 2 Corinthians 1.
-
94
A Theology of Comfort (Part 1 of 2)
Today on Live in the Light, pastor Robbie kicks off a new series, working verse by verse through the book of 2 Corinthians. We start with the first 7 verses that remind us that we serve a God of comfort! When we cling to worldly comfort, it restricts us from experiencing the perfect comfort that only the Lord can provide. This does not mean that this life will be free from pain and trials, but in the midst of suffering, the Lord comforts us. It is this suffering that produces endurance in us—and this endurance produces blessings for those around us.
-
93
Unrelenting Fruit (Part 2 of 2)
Pastor Robbie continues his message on bearing fruit as a believer in Christ on John 15. This is the purpose of our salvation: to bear fruit and glorify God! Join us on Live in the Light for this message as we study what it means to bear "Unrelenting Fruit".
-
92
When the Lord Builds a Home: Parents and Children (Part 4 of 4)
On Live in the Light, Pastor Robbie Symons explores the powerful wisdom of Ephesians 6:1–4, where Scripture calls children to honour and obey their parents—not just as a duty, but as a pathway to blessing. This is part 4 and the final message on Parents and Children.
-
91
Unrelenting Fruit (Part 1 of 2)
As genuine followers of Christ, our lives must now bear fruit as proof of this spiritual transformation. Pastor Robbie Symins teaches that fruit is the natural result of a life that has been saved and now continually abides in Christ. This is the purpose of our salvation: to bear fruit and glorify God! Join us on Live in the Light for this message as we study what it means to bear "Unrelenting Fruit" from John 15.

Unceasing Prayer (Part 2 of 2)
God loves and blesses the Christ-follower who prayerfully depends on him! On Live in the Light, Pastor Robbie continues teaching from Matthew 6 on prayer.
-
89
Unceasing Prayer (Part 1 of 2)
Prayer is what fuels the Christian spiritual life. Jesus gave us the Lord's Prayer as a template for how we ought to pray, and he himself modelled a life of constant, intimate prayer to his father. Similarly, we too are to pray without ceasing because this is what renews our minds, keeps us in God's will, and protects us from falling to temptation. Pastor Robbie teaches that God loves and blesses the Christ-follower who prayerfully depends on him! We're in Matthew 6 on Live in the Light.
-
88
Unashamed Adoration (Part 2 of 2)
We're back in the message Unashamed Adoration in Philippians 3 on Live in the Light. A heart that is genuinely grateful for all God has done for us cannot help but adore him with authentic love and devotion. In this message from Pastor Robbie Symons, we examine the marks of true worship in the life of the believer.
-
87
Unashamed Adoration (Part 1 of 2)
What does is mean to worship God? We can do this through song and praise, but real worship encompasses so much more! At conversion, God gives the new believer a regenerated spiritual heart, purposed to worship the Lord. A heart that is genuinely grateful for all God has done for us cannot help but adore him with authentic love and devotion. On Live in the Light with Pastor Robbie Symons, we examine the marks of true worship in the life of the believer.

86
When the Lord Builds a Home: Parents and Children (Part 3 or 4)
In today's message on Live in the Light, Pastor Robbie Symons explores the powerful wisdom of Ephesians 6:1–4, where Scripture calls children to honour and obey their parents—not just as a duty, but as a pathway to blessing. A father's role in raising children is vital, not done through harshness or provocation, but with love, discipline, and the instruction of the Lord. This is a call to children, parents, and families to reflect God’s design in their relationships, bringing order, grace, and blessing to the home.
-
85
Unapologetic Proclamation (Part 2 of 2)
Being faithful to the gospel is the best way we can love others. Faithfulness to the Word sets us up to be faithful with everything else. Pastor Robbie points us to "first things first" on Live on the Light.
-
84
Unapologetic Proclamation (Part 1 of 2)
As Pastor Robbie taught in the previous Live in the Light message, the faithful church will always hold fast to the unequivocal authority of the word. Because this is true, the preaching of God's word is our unconditional calling in the church. In 2 Timothy, we find Paul nearing the end of his life and knowing this, he urgently issues the charge to his young mentee to 'preach the word' - above all else - and without apology. It is not an easy road, yet there is no higher calling or greater expression of love than to faithfully preach God's word.
-
83
Unequivocal Authority (Part 2 of 2)
On Live in the Light, Pastor Robbie Symons examines the abundant evidence from God's Word that supports God's authorship and authority. God gave us a book. What better use of our time than to read it?
-
82
Unequivocal Authority (Part 1 of 2)
The Bible is foundational to the life of the believer because it is the very word of God. Through it, God reveals to us who he is so that we would both grow in relationship with him and in our knowledge of Him. How amazing that God wrote a book and has gifted it to us out of his great love for us! Today on Live in the Light, Pastor Robbie Symons examines abundant evidence supporting God's authorship and the undeniable authority of the Bible in Isaiah 40.
-
81
Every Reason to Believe (Part 2 of 2)
Today on Live in the Light, Pastor Robbie leads us through 2 Peter 1:16-21, where Peter reminds us that our faith isn’t built on myth or feel-good stories—it’s anchored in real events and divine revelation. The Bible isn’t just wise advice or spiritual poetry—it’s the very Word of God, breathed out through the Holy Spirit. In a time when truth feels slippery, and people often chase what's flashy or new, Peter calls us back to what's solid and unshakable: the gospel of Jesus Christ.
-
80
When the Lord Builds A Home: Parents and Children (Part 2 of 4)
We are on Part 2 of this message on Deuteronomy 6:4–6, where we discover God’s blueprint for building a faith-filled home. These powerful verses remind us that a strong family begins with a deep, personal love for God—one that shapes how we live and how we lead our children. You'll hear how God calls parents to be spiritual leaders, intentionally passing on their faith through everyday moments. Whether you're raising young kids, guiding teens, or encouraging the next generation, this message offers wisdom and hope for families who want to build their homes on God's truth.

Never Tire of Being Reminded (Part 2 of 2)
Peter knew his time was short, but instead of panicking or fading quietly into the background, he focused on reminding others of truth. Not new ideas, not novel insights—but the foundational truths of the gospel that they already knew. Why? Because sometimes the greatest spiritual danger isn’t forgetting facts—it’s forgetting to live by them. Pastor Robbie Symons leads us in 2 Peter 1:12-15 on Live in the Light.

Supernatural Power Must Lead To Supernatural Fruit (Part 2 of 2)
After reminding believers that God has already provided everything needed for a life of godliness, Peter challenges them to take intentional steps to build on their faith.

We are in 2 Peter 1:5-11 with Pastor Robbie on Live in the Light.

No Excuse Not To Grow (Part 2 of 2)

Oh To Be Founded On The Rock (Part 2 of 2)
Pastor Robbie is wrapping up the series on Jesus's Sermon on the Mount on Live in the Light. Jesus uses the analogy of two builders: one builds his house on the firm foundation of rock, while the other builds on unstable, shifting sand. In the end, the house built on sand is swept away by the elements, while the house built on rock stands firm, withstanding any storm. Jesus' message is clear: true wisdom leads us to build our lives on the unshakable foundation of Christ, not on fleeting foundations that will inevitably lead to ruin.

Beware of False Prophets (Part 2 of 2)
The Bible warns against false prophets who may appear outwardly harmless or even righteous, but their true nature is deceptive. Jesus uses the metaphor of fruit to illustrate this: just as a good tree produces good fruit and a bad tree produces bad fruit, so too will a person's actions reveal their true character. Pastor Robbie shares the Bible's wisdom and warnings on Live in the Light on Part 2.

Choose Wisely! (Part 2 of 2)
Jesus calls us to live by the Golden Rule from Matthew 7, treating others with love and respect. We are urged to choose the narrow, challenging path that leads to life, rather than the broad, easy road that leads to destruction. The narrow path is difficult at times, and can be discouraging but as Christ-followers, we persevere, knowing that this is the way to blessing, joy and our eternal reward. Choose wisely with Pastor Robbie on Live in the Light!

The Dangers of Judgmentalism (Part 2 of 2)
As the Lord warns, "For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you". Pastor Robbie concludes this message on Matthew 7 on Live in the Light.
-
63
The Dangers of Judgmentalism (Part 1 of 2)
Pastor Robbie is in Matthew 7, where Jesus cautions that self-examination and humility should precede judging others. Only after examining our own hearts can we help others with theirs in a constructive and loving way. Instead of being quick to criticize, we are called to show compassion and grace, knowing that we, too, are in need of mercy for the sin in our lives. Another heart check today on Live in the Light.

Seek First The Kingdom (Part 2 of 2)
Jump back into Live in the Light, where we continue in Matthew 6. Pastor Robbie teaches that what we prioritize will ultimately determine the path of our lives. Pursuing goals that are temporal or physical are not necessarily wrong, but they must not be placed above those that are spiritual. God's word instructs us to seek first his Kingdom and his righteousness because that is where God's promises to his people are fulfilled. It is where the antidote to anxiety and the place of blessing, peace and joy is found!

You Cannot Serve God and Money (Part 2 of 2)

Hypocrisy or Holiness (Part 2 of 2)
Today on Live in the Light, we're back in this message from Matthew 6:16-18 with Pastor Robbie Symons. When we serve or work in the Lord's name with selfish motives, He sees this hypocrisy and rejects it. Yet, he also recognizes the pure motivation of a genuine heart which seeks to glorify him above all else. God rejects what is false, but blesses what is real!

Hypocrisy or Holiness? (Part 1 of 2)
The discipline of fasting is the topic in Matthew 6:16-18, but Christ's message is that which matters most to him: a pure heart. Fasting was and is a practice used to deny oneself in order to fervently seek and draw near to the Lord, and to glorify God. However, Pastor Robbie Symons shows us today that the Pharisees would often draw attention to themselves while fasting, ultimately glorifying self and stealing the glory from God. Are we ever guilty of doing the same? Prepare to examine your heart on Live in the Light.
