We must discover the real meaning of Christmas – what “Christmas spirit” is really all about. And to do that we must first understand who Jesus is, since it’s all about Him. Last week we stated: “in order to seek him you must first believe he existed.” This week, we will focus on the reason behind Jesus […]
There are many misconceptions and doubts about the events behind our Christmas celebration. When was Jesus actually born? Was he really virgin conceived and born? Did he really exist? Before looking at what Jesus did for us, the ultimate purpose for His coming, Pastor Dave briefly walks through some popular Christmas doubts and shows, from Scripture […]
When it comes to our spiritual health, growth and maturity, there is a balance to be found and maintained that will keep us from going to potentially dangerous extremes. In tonight’s message, Pastor Dave discusses the balance between humility and confidence from Proverbs 29:19-27, and truth and love from 2 John. Any of these seemingly […]
Christmas is a celebration of the redemption plan that the triune God established in eternity past “according to the purpose of His will.” Not only did one man fulfill over 300 prophecies found in the Old Testament but God Himself came to rescue humanity in the form of a baby. In today’s sermon, Pastor Leandre walks […]
Our God, the sovereign ruler of the cosmos, is infinitely wise, good and just, ruling over creation with providence. 2 Peter 3:8 reminds us that “with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” This is not some formula or a literal conversion rate, but rather a beautiful […]
The story of David facing Goliath, slaying his “tens of thousands”, is arguably one of the most well-known in the entire Bible, both inside and outside of the church, especially when applied to our lives and facing our own giants. However, we are not the primary focus of this story; Jesus is the true and better […]
Throughout the book of Judges, we see a repeated cycle: Israel serves the Lord, falls into idolatry and forgets Him, becomes enslaved, and is ultimately delivered by a judge. This book just goes to show that mankind, as sinful and depraved as we are, can not fulfill the law of God. We need a true […]
“Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and clay, some for honorable use, some for dishonorable. Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready […]
Just as the Israelites were told to remain in their houses with the crimson blood of the Lamb painted on the door posts, and just as Rahab was told to remain in her room with the crimson cord tied to the window, so we must be under the protecting, saving power of the crimson blood […]
As we look at the opening chapter of 2 Timothy, we see many examples of how one generation can work towards developing leaders in the next generation as we observe Paul’s remarks towards Timothy, his “beloved child.” In this sermon, Pastor Leandre teaches us from the Word how we can and should encourage, be confident […]
It has been said that Jesus pervades the Old Testament the way that salt pervades the ocean, and in the introduction to the book of Joshua, we once again see this truth come to light. Join Pastor Dave Leandre as he takes us through some of the comparisons between Joshua and Christ and learn how, through […]
Leadership in the kingdom of God is not just for the pastor. Each member of the body, as they are continually involved in the church and growing in their faith, should at some point begin to transition from being merely a pew warmer into being involved in some aspect of kingdom service, regardless of what imperfections they think […]
Exodus 25:8 “And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst.” The Tabernacle was constructed to be the dwelling place of God among his people. But more than just an ornate, intricately designed structure, the Tabernacle finds its true fulfillment in Jesus Christ, the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us. […]
Everywhere you turn in the book of Exodus there is a new picture of the Lord Jesus and His work on our behalf. Looking at the rock at Horeb and Israel’s battle with Amalek is definitely no exception. Listen as Pastor Dave Leandre works through the 17th chapter of Exodus, teaching on the sufficient work of […]
The Christian life is one of growth and sanctification, perseverance and practice. As we mature as believers, we must be careful not to merely accumulate head knowledge, while leaving our practice untouched and unaltered. Teaching from the book of James, Pastor Dave Leandre works through the first two chapters, focusing on the command to be […]
