Jesus’s Personal Concern Amidst Our Storms
Storms of life rarely announce themselves before they arrive. One moment life feels steady, and the next we find ourselves facing fear, uncertainty, financial pressure, difficult relationship, or decisions we don't know how to navigate. What storm are you facing right now? Drawing from Matthew...

The Chief Shepherd
Every chapter eventually comes to an end. The question is: Who is still there when it does? As Living as God’s People comes to its final message, 1 Peter 5 points us beyond changing seasons and human leadership to Jesus; the Chief Shepherd. This closing message calls us to humility, courage, and...

Always Be Prepared
What happens when our faith is tested by suffering, hostility, or circumstances we never expected? In 1 Peter 3:8–22, we are reminded that the hope we carry can speak most clearly when life is difficult. When you endure hardship with grace, when you repay insult with blessing, you enter into what...

Such Good Lives
Today we continue to understand what it looks like to live in a way that makes our faith visible as God’s people in a world that doesn’t always share our values? In this message from 1 Peter 2:13–25, we explore how we can honour God and follow Jesus's example with lives marked by goodness and...

Built Together
What does it mean to belong to God and live faithfully in a changing world? In this message from 1 Peter 2:4–11, we are reminded that our identity comes from God. We are the kind of people who are defined by the God who serve. As we go deep in our walk with God, we become growing people and as…

MARY: THE WOMAN WHO TRUSTED GOD

Welcoming the Stranger as Jesus

-
A Love Letter From Jesus
You can be a great Christian on paper, hold all the right theology, call out hypocrisy, and work yourself to exhaustion for the church, and still completely miss the heart of God. It’s one of the scariest blind spots in the modern church, and it happens so slowly we rarely even notice the drift....

In this episode, Lead Pastor Aaron Ross brings us to the grand finale of our series, "REBELLION, RETRIBUTION, RESCUE: The Relentless Spiral of Judges," and things get incredibly real.

Samson: Disruptor to the Philistine Status Quo
When it comes to living a life of holiness, we have a choice: will God be glorified through us, or in spite of us?

-
Othniel: God is my Strength
The Isrealites stopped halfway in their conquest because they got comfortable, lethargic and complacent. They traded God's best and was trapped in a cycle of "covenantal amnesia," failing to fully occupy the land and turning to false gods. Through Othniel whose name means "Lion of God," we see…

Getting To Know The Real Jesus
Our world looks at Jesus as a cartoon character or a caricature. This cartoon or caricature shows Jesus locked in the dark ages of a primitive Jewish society totally unrelated to the joys and trials of modern-day Richmond with its high-speed internet and artificial intelligence. This cartoon...
-
Good Friday
And as we look at the Good Friday story, there can be no doubt but that Jesus is the main character of this passage and of all history. But the minor characters say a lot too, and they tell us something about ourselves. The central theme from this passage is Innocence in Agony. While the world...
-
Palm Sunday: The Visitation of the King
The Palm Sunday Passage is where the central section of Jesus’s long journey to Jerusalem in Luke’s Gospel is about to conclude.

-
From Bethany to Gethsemane
In our passage for today, Jesus leads his disciples in the Passover meal (which they would have expected Him to do). But he did so in an unusual way. He drew the meaning of the whole meal onto Himself. He offered a new commandment, a new covenant, one which we as followers of Christ have been...
-
Jesus at Bethany
God knows what we need better than we do. I heard the saying recently: “I’m grateful for all the prayer requests God didn’t say yes to.” Sometimes we think we know what’s best for us, and when. But God knows better than we do. Sometimes the things we think would be good for us, would actually be...
-
Daniel 6
Daniel 6 - Daniel in the Lion’s Den: He didn’t seek to make an example of himself. Neither did he hide when the pressure built up. He just did what he always did, all of which we will see today in our message titled “Witnessing through Integrity.”

Daniel 3
Human power may be impressive. It may even appear threatening at times. But it is limited. In the story of the fiery furnace, we are assured that God is the living God. He is present in the times of our trials. And in the faithfulness of his followers, we are reminded of the importance of a long...
-
Daniel 2
Daniel is promoted to rule over Babylon and all of its wise men. His peers are appointed his administrators at his request. We see how Human achievements and honours are to be held lightly. Worldly wealth and power are as nothing in the face of God’s sovereign plan for humanity. God remains in...
-
Daniel 1
Although we are not in Babylonian exile, we are (like the Judeans) called to be faithful servants of God in a cultural context where oftentimes many are resistant to the things of God. And yet, it is precisely within that context that we need to look to Jesus and understand how to live well, and...

The Purpose of Reconciliation: Closing the Gap
Christmas is fundamentally a time for reconciliation; that is, the work of God to reconnect us to Him. Just as we explored in Genesis, God desires to “close the gap” caused by sin, and through Christ, He has given us the ministry of peace to mend our fractured relationship with Him and with one...
-
The Purpose of Salvation: The Only Cure for Sin
Jesus is God incarnate, who came to us to be our Saviour. The entire reason for Christmas is the love of God, and the purpose of Christ's life was to bring salvation. “Life is short, death is sure. Sin the cause, Christ the cure.” We will reflect on the truth that the only cure for sin is the…
