    The Child Jesus Held In His Arms

    When we come to the faith and are baptised, we are forever held in Jesus’ arms.

    Only a few Sundays ago, I preached on the story of Jesus picking up a little child and holding him in his arms (Mark 9:30-37) St. Mark did not name the child. But guess what? A tradition in the church says the child is none other than Ignatius, a native of Syria. This is the boy who later became ...read more

    As we acknowledge that Christ is the most famous of them all, what should be our heart’s desire? What should we be doing?

    “Now among those who went up to worship at the feast were some Greeks. So these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, ‘Sir, we wish to see Jesus.’ Philip went and told Andrew; Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. And Jesus answered ...read more

    The Inner Circle: Andrew, James And John (Matthew 10: 1-4)

     | 592 views

    Our look at the twelve apostles continues with the “ inner circle”, or most notable in the Scriptures due to their words and work.

    The list of the twelve ordinary men commissioned by the Lord Jesus Christ to preach the Gospel always lists Simon Peter as the first due to his character, his devotion to Jesus, and was given the task of being the leader of the twelve and be both the pastor and teacher to the “ sheep” and “lambs” ...read more

    The Harvest Of The Broken Seed: The Paradox Of A Fruitful Life

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Sep 11, 2025
     | 337 views

    This sermon unpacks the powerful paradox of John 12:24-25, teaching that like a seed that must die to bear fruit, we must surrender our lives to find true fruitfulness and life eternal.

    Introduction: The Unexpected King Let us transport ourselves to a moment thick with expectation. The city of Jerusalem is trembling with energy. Dust fills the air, mingling with the shouts of a jubilant crowd. The scent of crushed palm leaves is underfoot. It is the week of the Passover, and ...read more

    Life Is A Beach

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 23, 2025
     | 464 views

    Jesus calls every disciple to daily self-denial and Spirit-empowered cross-bearing that ends not in loss but in resurrection life.

    (Losing to Gain) Part 1 – The Comfortable Illusion It sounds so inviting: Life is a beach. The phrase promises calm tides, soft sand, a life where the hardest choice is whether to nap or swim. We crave that ease. Sometimes we even remake God in that image—faith as a sunny getaway where problems ...read more

    Understand and appreciate the cost, power, and sacrifice of Jesus' love, which is the foundation of our faith and obedience to Him.

    Good morning, church family! Today, we will be diving into the profound depth of Jesus' love—the cost, the power, and the sacrifice it holds for each one of us.

    Towards Easter: Lifted Up

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Mar 11, 2026
     | 161 views

    The “lifting up” of Jesus was an actual event which has great theological meaning. The death of Jesus on the cross… His being “lifted up”… means much to our souls.

    There was a time in human history when childbirth was one of the most dangerous moments in a woman’s life. Jesus uses this event to describe something important about his crucifixion

    THE PAIN THAT WAS FORGOTTEN A message on the love of Christ TEXT: “A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.” — Gospel of John 16:21 “Who for ...read more

     | 901 views

    Every believer is a seed, but not every seed grows into a fruitful tree. The key to spiritual growth is being planted in the right ground—grounded in God’s Word, nurtured by a strong spiritual community, and guided by the Holy Spirit.

     | 767 views

    Andrew may not have been as famous as Peter, but his role in bringing people to Jesus was crucial. His life teaches us the power of personal evangelism, faithfulness, and humility. In God’s kingdom, even those who work behind the scenes can have a lasting impact.

    The Secret Of Spiritual Power

    Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Apr 3, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 786 views

    Christians today are encouraged to seek more power, more anointing, and more gifts. Indeed, as the Lord calls us back to the Cross to become disciples of Jesus, He intends to first humble us before empowering us.

    The basic need of a disciple of Jesus Christ is not seeking for more power from God, but more brokenness. Apostle Paul says in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 “Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in ...read more
