“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.” Revelation 12:11 is one of the most victorious, assuring, and epic verses in the Bible, but it is often taken out of its context and reduced to a […]
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 […]
“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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The true believer in Christ, who has experienced that God is good, and who continually comes to Christ in the Word, will not only progress in sanctification as an individual, but will be a living and vibrant part of a new, spiritual temple for the presence of God. In this sermon, Pastor Matt Bedzyk breaks down […]
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 […]
“For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as […]
