The God of the Bible is not limited or constrained in any way. Through the events of Exodus 2:11-25, we are reminded of both a sobering reality and a precious truth for believers - God Sees All. Nothing is hidden from the sight and knowledge of the One True God.

An evil decree from a wicked ruler, parents placed in an impossible position, and a baby whose life hangs in the balance... Pastor Isaiah continues to unpack the epic story of Exodus in the third week of this series. The work of God in both the big and small speaks powerfully to our own day and the lives we life here and now as His people.

As the story of Exodus begins to unfold the text focuses in upon Pharoah, the king of Egypt, whose rejection of the true God and His ways brings major conflict and tragedy to the people of God. In this sermon, Pastor Isaiah explains the actions of Pharaoh and the tragic overshadowing of his evil that exists in our world today.

The events that are recorded in the Book of Exodus are part of the grand story of God that is unfolded throughout the entire Bible and continues to unfold in history up to this very day. In the introductory sermon to this series, Pastor Isaiah explains the background to where Exodus picks up from the Book of Genesis and why it is important for Christians to study and learn about our God from both the Old and New Testaments in the Bible.

On that first Easter Sunday the power of God was displayed in incredible ways. The earth quaked, angels descended from Heaven, the Roman Guards were terrified and the women heard the amazing proclamation of the Good News - Jesus is Risen! In this message, Pastor Isaiah focuses us in on how all these events reveal that Jesus is the God who demands a response and deserves our worship!

On Good Friday 2021, we gather to reflect upon the final night of Jesus' earthly ministry. The betrayals, the sufferings, and the atoning death of God the Son are our focus throughout this evening from the account given in Matthew 26-27.

After 12 weeks of exploring the Spiritual Disciplines that God has given to His people to mark our lives and help us aim for lives that are flourishing with the joy of growing in godliness, Pastor Isaiah concludes this series by talking about what to do when we fail. The reality of humanity and the testimony of Scripture is that none of us will be perfect, our sins will cling to us, and our best efforts to live as we ought to will fail. But from Paul's words in Romans 7-8, we find great hope!

On March 10th, Pastor Isaiah and his wife Melia shared with our church family that they had suffered another miscarriage. In this message, just a few days later, Pastor Isaiah shares how the promises of God are enduring, comforting, and deeply needed in moments like these. Looking to the Word of God and trusting in who He is and what He has said is the reason Christian people mourn differently than those who have no hope.

As the seasons outside change, so do the seasons of our life. Christians are people who not only give attention to their own seasons of life, but also intentionally enter into the seasons that people around them are in too. From Nehemiah 8, Pastor Isaiah shares how at times God desires for His people to set aside mourning to enter into celebration just as He also expects us to set aside celebration to enter into mourning at other times.

The path of wisdom and the path of the fool are the two contrasting ways of life that God warns about in Scripture. In this message, Pastor Isaiah talks about the duty we have to be disciplined in Seeking, Storing Up, and Sharing Knowledge with others.
