God Of The Impossible

Series: O Come, Immanuel!

Preacher: Kevin Smith, Senior Pastor

Sunday Morning

Date: 7th December 2025

Passage: Matthew 1:18-25

-------------------

The virgin birth of Jesus Christ was both a miraculous event and a cultural scandal in first-century Palestine. Mary faced potential death by stoning for claiming pregnancy without intimacy, while Joseph wrestled with divorcing his betrothed to avoid association with apparent adultery. Through the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit, God accomplished the impossible - entering humanity as Emmanuel, God with us. This scandalous beginning was necessary because only someone who was both fully God and fully human could bridge the gap between heaven and earth. The virgin birth reveals that our greatest problem isn't external circumstances but internal sin, and Jesus came to address this root cause of human separation from God.

Passage: Matthew 1:1-17

-------------------

Christmas represents the fulfillment of God's ancient promises through Jesus' genealogy in Matthew 1. As the son of Abraham, Jesus fulfills God's covenant to bless all nations through Abraham's lineage. As the son of David, He establishes the eternal kingdom promised to David. The title Christ identifies Him as the ultimate anointed one, empowered by the Holy Spirit. Matthew's inclusion of five women, many with scandalous backgrounds, shows that Jesus came to save all people, including the marginalized and outsiders. This genealogy proves God's faithfulness across generations, working through imperfect people and difficult circumstances to accomplish His redemptive plan.

Addicted To Love (Part 2)

Passage: John 15:9-17

-------------------

Many Christians struggle with whether God wants us to be happy, often creating false distinctions between happiness and joy. Scripture reveals that God Himself is joyful and takes pleasure in His works and people. Jesus experienced deep, indestructible joy that came from doing the Father's will, saving His people, and the promise of rewarding faithfulness. True joy comes from abiding in Christ's love - living in complete dependence on His acceptance and care. This joy can coexist with sorrow and suffering when our citizenship is in heaven rather than earth. Our joy in Christ becomes our greatest witness to a watching world.

Addicted To Love (Part 1)

Preacher: Kevin Smith, Senior Pastor

Sunday Morning

Date: 9th November 2025

Passage: John 15:9-17

-------------------

Jesus repeatedly emphasizes love in John 15:9-17 because humanity struggles to understand genuine love. Our natural love is self-centered and twisted, so Christ must teach us what real love looks like and place His love within us. Jesus declares that He loves us with the exact same intensity, permanence, and depth that the Father loves Him—a love that is perfect, eternal, exalting, protective, and deeply intimate.This divine love surpasses human comprehension, yet we're called to grow in experiencing it throughout our lives. Abiding in Christ's love means living in the reality of being perfectly accepted, which naturally leads to obedience—not from duty, but from transformation. When we're secure in His love, we no longer need constant validation from others or live enslaved to social media approval. We find freedom in knowing we're already accepted by the One who matters most.Trusting Jesus' leadership becomes easier when we understand His perfect love—He guides us like perfect GPS, always leading us where we need to be. Walking in community with other believers helps us comprehend God's love more fully. When we abide in Christ's love, it becomes our spiritual birthmark, naturally flowing out to others and eliminating church hurt through grace and truth. This transformative love changes our relationships, security, and ability to genuinely care for others' highest good.

Rescue

Preacher: Dr. Norberto Quesada

Sunday Morning

Date: 2nd November 2025

Passage: Romans 5:1-3

-------------------

The concept of biblical justification represents one of the most profound truths in Scripture, extending far beyond simple excuses to encompass God's complete legal exoneration of our transgressions through Christ. This divine solution addresses the fundamental problem that originated in the Garden of Eden, where Adam's broken covenant with God introduced sin and death into the world. The ongoing effects of this tragedy manifest in every disaster, difficulty, and broken system we witness today, creating problems that no government or human institution can ultimately resolve.God's response to humanity's predicament reveals His extraordinary love - what could be called His obsession with rescuing broken people who cannot save themselves. The only solution to our sin problem required God to place His wrath on His Son rather than on us, creating unprecedented access to divine grace. This access is universal, available to every person regardless of their background, status, or circumstances. Through justification by faith, believers experience both present security and future hope, living in the reality that their spiritual debt has been completely covered.The practical implications of this truth are transformative. Rather than attempting to earn God's approval through good works or fearing the loss of His love through mistakes, justified believers can live with confidence in their direct access to the throne of grace. This understanding challenges us to stop seeking solutions in broken worldly systems and instead embrace the complete forgiveness and acceptance that comes through Christ's finished work on the cross.

The Gospel Will Be Proclaimed

Series: Miscellaneous

Preacher: Charlie Davidson

Sunday Morning

Date: 26th October 2025

Passage: Matthew 24:3-14

-------------------

The gospel of the kingdom is good news, not good advice - it announces what God has done for us through Jesus Christ rather than telling us what we must do. This message transforms us into people who are forgiven, redeemed, acceptable, and unconditionally loved by God. Jesus promises this gospel will reach every nation before his return, and believers are called to participate in this divine mission. Whether through going overseas, supporting missionaries, or sharing locally, every Christian has a role in spreading this life-changing message. The urgency comes from not knowing when Christ will return, making it essential that we actively participate in God's plan to reach the world.

A Productive Relationship, Part 3

Sunday Morning

Date: 19th October 2025

Passage: John 15:1-8

-------------------

This sermon explores Jesus' teaching about the vine and branches from John 15:1-8, emphasizing the vital relationship between believers and Christ. The pastor uses the metaphor of a community garden to illustrate how spiritual fruit doesn't happen by accident but requires intentional care and cooperation with God's work. The message addresses two types of branches - those that bear fruit and those that don't - explaining that unproductive branches represent false professors rather than true believers who lose salvation. The sermon emphasizes that God is determined to produce fruit in every true believer's life for His glory, but this requires our active cooperation through abiding in Christ and allowing His word to dwell in us richly.

A Productive Relationship Part 2

Preacher: Kevin Smith, Senior Pastor

Sunday Morning

Date: 12th October 2025

Passage: John 15:1-8

-------------------

This sermon explores Jesus' teaching from John 15:1-8 about the vine and branches, emphasizing that spiritual growth comes through dependence on Christ rather than self-improvement or worldly methods. The pastor explains that abiding in Christ means maintaining constant dependence on Him for vision, wisdom, and power to live as productive disciples. Using the analogy of a car battery and tea steeping, he illustrates how Christians must remain connected to Jesus to bear spiritual fruit. The message challenges believers to move beyond 'dipping' in and out of spiritual practices to truly 'steeping' in Christ through consistent dependence, recognizing that apart from Him we can do nothing.

How to Take Your Stand

Sunday Morning

Date: 5th October 2025

Passage: Ephesians 6:10-21

-------------------

The Christian life is a constant spiritual battle that can only be lived supernaturally, through God's power rather than our natural strength. We face warfare on three fronts: the world's opposition to God, battles within the church including false teaching and division, and the internal struggle against our own sinful nature. To stand strong, believers must publicly affirm their faith, rely on Christ's victory as their foundation, and hold fast to their faith even when attacked by doubt, fear, or suffering. Though we face an organized spiritual opposition with strategy and purpose, we need not fear because Jesus has already defeated Satan and continues to build His church worldwide.

Built for the Battle: God's Strategy for Victory”

Series: Miscellaneous

Preacher: Michael Tolliver

Sunday Morning

Date: 28th September 2025

Passage: Ephesians 6:10-18

-------------------

Spiritual warfare is a genuine battle occurring daily in our lives—affecting our relationships, mental health, finances, and purpose. In Ephesians 6, Paul reveals that our struggle isn't against people but against spiritual forces of evil. The discouragement, addiction, anger, and division we experience often stem from this cosmic conflict. Discernment becomes crucial in this battle, helping us address root causes rather than merely treating symptoms.God provides specific armor for this warfare: the belt of truth (God's absolute standard and integrity), the breastplate of righteousness (Christ's righteousness imputed to us), shoes of peace (stability amid chaos), the shield of faith (trusting God despite circumstances), the helmet of salvation (protecting our minds), and the sword of the Spirit (God's Word). The first three pieces represent our daily spiritual uniform, while the latter three are weapons ready for deployment. Prayer activates this armor, connecting us to divine power. Victory comes not through fighting in our own strength but by being strong in God's might, recognizing that while the battle is real, our triumph in Christ is assured.
