In different ways we all want to be recognized. When the disciples wanted places of prominence and greatness in His kingdom, Jesus turned to them asking if they were ready to drink from the cup of suffering. Jesus didn't rebuke James and John's ambition; he corrected it and explained recognition doesn't come from people, it comes from God. It's not wrong to want to be recognized by our Lord, but it must come from the heart that wants to lift people up. When we serve other people according to their needs, then we're walking in the footsteps of Jesus Christ and living out His mission. In today's sermon we ask this question to someone in need: what do you want me to do for you?

There are many different kinds of offerings described in Leviticus. In today's sermon, we see why the fellowship offering was unique, and how it foreshadowed the fullness of the relationship we can have with God through Jesus Christ.

So many of us are guilty of living as if the world revolved around us. What would it look like to make God the center? Today's sermon explains why making Him the center requires us to pass on certain opportunities and to trust in God for His provision and protection.

We often wonder, "What is God's will for my life?" We spend a lot of time thinking about what we should study or do, where we should live, and who we should marry. In today's sermon, we see that God has never hidden His will from us - but HIs answer may surprise you.

Normally in Luke, it took nothing less than an angelic visitation for people to realize that baby Jesus was the Christ. Mary, Zechariah, the shepherds in the field at night - every one was led to the Christ-child via an angel. Simeon and Anna, however, today's protagonists, were the first individuals to recognize the special child for who He truly was. What did they have that allowed them to recognize the significance of Jesus' birth? What do we need today in order to experience the true meaning of Christmas?

In the third part of our Advent series, we examine one of the most well-known Christmas passages in the Bible: Luke 1:26-38. The angel Gabriel calls Mary ‘favored’, and yet the passage says Mary was troubled upon hearing those words. In this week's message, we reflect on two questions: What is God's favor? What does it truly mean to be favored? If God is calling you to participate in His plans, are you willing to let Him disrupt yours?

In part 2 of our Advent series, we focus on themes around what this season is really about. This week, we read Luke 2 to examine how God reveals His will through the powerless and the ordinary. Through the birth of Jesus Christ in a lowly manger during difficult times, God's message is abundantly clear: nothing can prevent God from accomplishing His will in your life.

In the first part of our new series, "A Thrill of Hope," we kick off the season of Advent. This week, we look at the story of Zechariah in Luke 1 to see how his longstanding desire for a child grows to become something bigger than he could ever imagine: for God to save the world.

If one had to choose between being rich or being poor, most people would choose the former. In the perspective of eternity however, could this be a bad decision? Our guest speaker for today - Pastor Mark Chun - delves into the nightmare beneath the surface of the American dream.

Thanksgiving is the one day a year that we celebrate gratitude, but in Christianity, it can be viewed as a 'lesser' virtue compared to others in the Bible. But here's why thanksgiving is important: it helps us go from entitlement to an attitude of gratitude. Today we examine the Samaritan leper's heart of gratitude towards Jesus in Luke 7, and how it gained him more than just healing.
