Adam Hockley, a guest speaker, spoke about the power of faith from 1 John 5:1-5. Those who believe Jesus is the Christ are born of God. And those who are born of God, obey His commands and love His children. They also overcome the world by the power of faith.

Our Managing Pastor, Andreas Dimond, reminds us of God's infinite love for us. We are commanded to love others, because God is love, and God has first loved us. As we think about all of the definitions the world offers for love, let's define agape love this way: Love is the sacrificial giving of oneself for the good of another with eternity in mind - originating from God, empowered by the Holy Spirit and modelled by Jesus.

Our teaching pastor, Gary Goodkey, encourages us to test the spirits, as it says in 1 John 4:1-6. As believers, we ought to be discerning about the messages we hear because every message has a spirit behind it. In this message, we explore whe should test the spirits, how to test the spirits and two prevalent areas of false teaching in our day.

Our teaching pastor, Gary Goodkey, talked about assurance of salvation from 1 John 3:19-24. When we know that we are God's children we know that we belong, our hearts are at rest, we are free from condemnation, and we have confidence before God because we know His Spirit lives within us.

Sermon Series: Life Source Our teaching pastor, Gary Goodkey, spoke about true love as it is described in 1 John 3:11-18. First, God's word commands us to love one another, love our neighbour, love the foreigner and love our enemies. But we are unable to do this on our own. Thankfully, second, life in Christ supplies love. Finally Christ's death defines love. The cross is the ultimate demonstration of love. Through Christ we can love others as God has called us to love.

Sermon Series: LIfe Source Our teaching pastor, Gary Goodkey, outlined the story of redemption in 1 John 3:4-10. In these verses we see a dilemma: sin. Everyone is a sinner. We have rebelled against God, choosing to live independently of Him. We also see a villain: the devil. Satan seeks to undermine God's glory by encouraging humanity to live in rebellion against God. We also see a hero: Jesus. Jesus appeared in our world to talk away our sin and to destroy the works of the devil. Finally we see a climax: salvation. Jesus invites us to follow Him, and He makes us righteous. Will we turn from our sin and do right?

Pastor Gary Goodkey challenges us to consider if we truly understand what it means to be God’s child and to be transformed by His perfect love.

Guest speaker Darcy Dueck (Citizens Church Elmira) encourages us to stand with clarity and confidence in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to abide in Him!

Sermon Series: Life Source Our teaching pastor, Gary Goodkey, encouraged us to turn our eyes away from the things of the world (money, power, possessions, fame etc.) and look to the beauty of Jesus Christ. This world is passing away, but the one who does the will of God lives forever.
