Two Kinds of Wisdom
James 3:13-18 This Sunday evening, pastor Karl explains from James 3 the difference between worldly wisdom that is envious, selfish, and disordered, and Godly wisdom that is submissive to Christ, pure, peace-loving, fruit-bearing, and merciful. We must be growing in Godly wisdom through conversion to Christ, reverence of Him, reading Scripture, mentorship from older Christians, and Prayer.
Who is Like the Lord?
Micah 1 This Sunday morning, Michael introduces our new morning series on the book of Micah. He explains the historical background and context of Micah before showing how Micah 1 demonstrates the announcement of God’s judgement, the extent of God’s judgment, and the reason for God’s judgement on the people of Israel. The heart of the human problem is that we have lifted up other things in worship in the place that only God deserves to be. These are counterfeit…
Learning to Listen
Nehemiah 8 Michael brings the Word of God from Nehemiah 8 this Sunday evening. In it, we see how we are to listen to God’s Word expectantly, attentively, and submissively. Likewise, we are to respond to His Word with tears of repentance, with joyful hearts, and with readiness to obey what He has instructed us to do.
Gospel Shaped Fellowship
Philippians 1:1-11 This Sunday morning, Michael shares with us from Philippians. Paul in Philippians exhorts us that our fellowship in Christ should produce gratitude for each other, affection for each other, and prayers for each other.
The God Who Works Wonders
Psalms 111:1-10 This Sunday morning, Michael exhorts us from Psalm 111. Through this Psalm, we learn to praise the loving God who rescues us, provides for us, gives us our inheritance, and will always keep His word. Truly we can depend on Him for our every need and trust in Him for our salvation.
The God Who Delivers
Psalm 34:1-14 This Sunday morning, Peter exhorts us through Psalm 34 to fear the Lord, while submitting our lives to God in order to deal with worldly fear. We must fear the Lord by guarding our tongue, turning from evil and doing good, and guarding our hearts.
Taming the Tongue
James 3:1-12 Pastor Karl brings us the message this Sunday evening. He explains how James 3:1-12 is a warning to teachers that they will be judged more strictly. It also explains how the tongue is destructive and uncontrollable without Christ. Christ is the only one who can help us speak in a manner worthy of the gospel.
The God Who Walks Alongside
Psalm 23:1-6 Let us find our security, provision, spiritual refreshment, guidance, comfort, peace and abundant blessings in God, our loving and faithful Shepherd.
Faith And Works
James 2:14-26 This Sunday evening, Michael walks us through James 2:14-26, explaining that faith without works is dead. The text demonstrates what counterfeit faith looks like, what genuine faith looks like, as well as applications for how we can live out these principles faithfully as Christians. All our knowledge is useless if it does not flow into the heart and produce action. We are saved by grace alone, We are justified by faith alone but not by a faith that…
The God Who Knows Me
Psalm 139 Karl explains from Psalm 139 how God knows us intimately. He knows us, surrounds us, and has made us in His image. The Psalmist proclaims ‘Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts!’ (v23)
The God Who Forgives
Psalm 103:1-22 This Sunday morning, Michael entreats us to look to the goodness and mercy of God. Psalm 103 proclaims God’s abundant blessing, His compassionate heart towards sinners, and His enduring commitment to us.
Listening to and Doing the Word of God
James 1:19-27 This Sunday evening, Mike Seaton brings us the Word from James as we continue our ‘Faith that Works’ series. James 1:19-27 teaches us that we must be quick to listen, particularly to how God has revealed Himself in His Word. We are to humbly accept the Word, as the Bible is not merely human opinion. We are to do what the Word says. Lastly, we must have self-controlled tongues, compassionate, and un-polluted by the word. We must be…
