Exiles—a title with negative connotations except when anchored in the past and future promises of God—is a reality we must wholeheartedly embrace if we are to endure our sojourning in this world and through this present age of darkness with the joy of the Lord and overflowing hope.

This Sunday, Tsidkenou guides us through John chapters 10, 20, and 21. In these chapters, Jesus reveals Himself to various groups. Among them, we will focus on His disciples, examining the impact of Jesus confirming who He was and the examples He set.

Our hope is that the “I Am” declarations of our Lord, along with the exemplary life He lived, will produce an abiding strength throughout our pilgrimage. Though we are not of this world and are called to live out the purposes of God amid the troubles Christ promised would come in this age, knowing the One who goes with us is our greatest comfort.

This Sunday in our series “What Now?" we join up with Peter. The Easter Story - trial, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ - was exceptionally hard this strong and outspoken disciple.

In the 40 days the disciples, Peter included, had with Jesus they were forced to remember everything that they were taught and had witnessed. It was really a gift to them to have time to process before they were given responsibility. But as we have been taught this year - Jesus is a gentle and humble God.

Peter learns. He starts to think and lead differently. He actually reminds the first believers that they are all born a long way from home. Home is not where we begin; home is where we need to go. More than ever we are searching for home. Strangely, the home for which we yearn is in another world. This other world, this unseen world, this spiritual world is commonly called heaven. Thus we live here, as Peter says in his first letter, in exile.

As we walk this teaching together, we are invited to check our perspective and make sure our eyes are fixed on the right location.

This Sunday in our series "So, What Now?" We join the disciples on the shores of the Sea of Tiberias for one of the most personal and powerful encounters with the Risen Saviour.

Christianity is not transactional. It is relational. From the very beginning, God chose not to relate to us from a distance but to step into our world, taking on flesh without ceasing to be God, meeting us in the most existentially personal way possible.

In John 21:1-17, after a discouraging night of empty nets, the disciples find Jesus already on the beach with a fire burning and food prepared, simply present. No agenda. No rebuke. Just the quiet, intentional nearness of One who knew exactly where they were and exactly what they needed.

The Ministry of Presence reminds us that the greatest gift is not always an answer or a solution. Sometimes it is simply showing up. And that is precisely what Jesus did then and continues to do now.

As we walk this passage together, we are invited to experience afresh a Saviour who meets us in our weariness, restores us in our failure, and calls us forward in our purpose.

This Sunday we continue to look at the personal encounters the early disciples had with Jesus during the forty (40) days after the resurrection through the series, “So, What Now?”

In this week’s lesson we study one of the more intimate encounters Jesus had along the Emmaus Road. As the disciples journey with Jesus sharing those things that transpired in Jerusalem over the past few days, we have the benefit of walking along with them listening as the Master ministers to their fears, doubts and apprehensions.

Just as the disciples we learn that the Resurrection was not just an event but a Person who was with them in the flesh and yet remains with us through the Holy Spirit.

Those forty days were not a diversion from the plan but an intentional effort by the Risen Savior to Confirm, Convince, Change, Commission and Comfort His disciples both past and present for the journey ahead.

What Now? New Series, Week 1.

Pastor Ellis leads us into the Eastertide season. This is a season to take to heart the resurrection of Jesus. The resurrection changed everything. So, What Now?

Over the next two months, as we prepare for Pentecost, we will be looking at the four accounts of the resurrection plus several of the personal encounters the early disciples had with Jesus after the resurrection. We are going to investigate this to learn to do what Jesus commissioned us to do. What Now?

This first part of the series, we are looking at the Gospel of Matthew's account of the resurrection. Our focus is on "Doubting". Matthew wrote that some doubted. What does this mean for them? What does it mean for us?

What if your darkest moments are when God is working hardest behind the scenes? In this powerful Easter message, Pastor Ellis reveals how Mary Magdalene discovered Jesus wasn't just alive—He'd been busy all along, even when everything felt hopeless. Through her story, we see that while it's still dark in our lives, Jesus is already moving, angels are already working, and breakthrough is already prepared. Instead of waiting for the darkness to lift, start living like the light is already on—because it is.

Friday, April 3, 2026.

What if everything you thought you knew about following Jesus was missing one crucial piece? Pastor Ellis reveals how Jesus revolutionized faith by replacing 613 Old Testament laws with a single, life-changing command that eliminates all loopholes. Discover the stunning moment at the Last Supper when Jesus redefined everything, and why Good Friday is truly good news—your sins are already forgiven. Walk away with one powerful question: What obstacles are keeping you from loving others the way Christ loves you?

Re-thinking of a King.

Re-thinking of a King Starting with Jesus’ entry to Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and climaxing on the Cross on Good Friday Jesus changed the way the world should live. Jesus changed the job description of a good leader. Alexander may have been called great before Christ. But After Christ (AD = Anno Domini) Jesus redefined what it means to be truly great.

Week 12, continuing series, “Life With God”. This Sunday, Tsidkenou will guide us through the parable of the Unforgiving Servant through Matthew 18:21-35.

The hope of this sermon is that we all be equally yoked with the Lord. That we do not quench the Spirit even as this servant disregarded his master's example. Also that we master his new nature, power and principle of love. For God so loved us all, he sent his son bearing the kingdom on his shoulders.

Sunday March 15, 2026. Week 11 in our series. "Life With God."

This Sunday, Pastor Ellis made sure that we understood what we have been taught so far in our Life with God series as we journey through Colossians 1:13-14.

There is an entire group of parables and responses found in Matthew 23-25. All of them were for the benefit of the disciples. They need to understand. They needed time to rethink/un-learn so much that had been taught to them. What do we still need to understand?
