For this Communion Service, we look at Psalm 32 and the difference between sin that is Covered or Just Covered Up.

While the apostle Paul often wrote about "inner saving faith", James wrote about "outward serving faith". Pastor Mark helps us to see that in order to live out a true religion (true faith) in Christ, we must do three things: We must be receptive to God's truth, we must be responsive to that truth, and we must be resolved to living a new way!

We are over half way through the Gospel of Matthew. The book will end with the Great Commission, in which we are challenged to “make disciples of all nations.” So this is a good time to stop and ask the question: what does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? In this passage (Matthew 16:21-28) and message (To Follow Jesus...) we are confronted with Jesus’ example as well as his teaching and challenge to us as his followers. Both involve a cross and a crown. But we have to get the order right.

The passage we are considering in this sermon (Matthew 16:1-20) contains what is often referred to as “Peter’s Great Confession”. What was Peter confessing and why was it so significant? And how does it relate to Jesus promise: I Will Build My Church.

The title for this sermon (taken from Matthew 15:21-39) is Reflections on Children, Dogs and Bread. Strange title? Well, it is a strange passage! What do these three things have to do with each other? What do the three paragraphs in this section have to do with each other? And why does Pastor Cam state that the key to tying it all together is “Location! Location! Location!”

No one likes conflict. But Jesus (the Prince of Peace) was often surrounded by it. In this passage (Matthew 15:1-20) the religious leaders send a delegation from Jerusalem to challenge Jesus. “Why don’t your disciples wash their hands before they eat?” Does that sound like a silly thing to be discussing? As we did deeper, however, we find that some profound spiritual principles are at stake regarding our basis of authority in life and also the fundamental question: WHAT DEFILES A MAN?

In this message, we resume our journey through the Gospel of Matthew. In the context of growing rejection and opposition to his ministry, Jesus begins to focus his ministry on his disciples. Matthew 14 describes two powerful miracles of Jesus; one public, the other private. But both are intended to teach Lessons of Faith to his followers. What can we learn from this chapter for times in life when the demands of life and ministry exceed our resources? Or when we follow Jesus’ commands and find ourselves in a storm? Or when we start to “walk on water” in a new faith venture ��

In this message, entitle “Church on Purpose”, Pastor Cam leads the church in a review of the church’s mission statement. What are we doing well? What are we not doing so well? How does God want you to be involved?
