Pastor of Congregational Care & Missions Jason Dunn preaches a stand alone message from 1 Timothy 3:14-16 and the importance of God's family living, telling, and loving the truth.

This passage is drawn from our M'Cheyne Bible Reading plan, which you can hear more about here.

Senior Pastor Damein Schitter finishes our series on the Beatitudes, preaching on the importance of being salt and light in the world today. We're reminded that the character of a Christian disciple, as depicted by the Beatitudes, is not a garment to be donned in private and shed in public. Instead, it's a pervasive identity that influences every aspect of our lives. Authentic Christian living can illuminate and challenge prevalent societal issues by reflecting Jesus's teachings in our actions. We must remain vigilant, being salt that maintains its flavor and light that pierces the darkness, inviting the Holy Spirit to guide us in refreshing our faith to remain vibrant and visible to the world around us. 

Pastor of Formation & Mission Benjamin Kandt resumes our Beatitudes series, focusing on the last beatitude: witness-bearing courage. He shares stories of what persecution may look like for those in hostile cultures, while also challenging listeners that their lack of persecution may not be because the culture isn't hostile to the gospel, but because they've compromised their witness. He invites us to examine ourselves, but to also seek the filling of the Spirit in order to truly bear witness to Jesus with courage and care.

The acronym that Pastor Ben used in the responsive prayer is CREATE—How to be filled with the Holy Spirit:
Confess the truth about your fears, sins, weaknesses, and needs (2 Cor. 12.9).Receive forgiveness, cleansing, and strength (1 John 1.9).Entrust everything to God (Luke 23.46).Ask for a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit (Luke 11.13).Thank your Father (Matt. 11.25).Expect His presence and power (Isa 41:10).

Senior Pastor Damein Schitter preaches from Colossians 2:6-15; 3:1-4 for our Easter Sunday service, contemplating the promise and transformation brought about by Christ's resurrection. He explains how the resurrection shifts our perspective from being oriented toward death to living with the anticipation of an eternal resurrection, reshaping our present existence with profound cosmic significance.
