Sermon Series: Life Source

Guest speaker, Kris Konig, spoke about how to grow up in the Christian faith as we long for the deeper things of God. The Apostle John encouraged his readers in 1 John 2:12-14 by reminding them that they knew the Father and the Son personally, their sins had been forgiven, and they had overcome the evil one because the word of God was in them. The same encouragement is available for us today. Christ is inviting us to a life of incredible adventure as we are transformed more and more into His likeness. 

Series: Life Source

Our teaching pastor, Gary Goodkey, challenged us to consider authentic faith from 1 John 2:3-11. It's important to test authentic faith to awaken those who are not genuine believers and to provide assurance and encouragement to those who are. Gary challenges us to examine our lives with two tests of authenticity: obedience and love. 

Sermon Series: Life Source

Our teaching pastor, Gary Goodkey, encourages us to walk in the light. From 1 John 1:5-2:2 we see that God is light, and we are to be energized and fueled by the presence of God in our lives. But we are sinners and in desperate need of atonement. Thankfully Jesus saves sinners and acts as our Advocate with the Father. As we renounce the darkness and step into the light, we are fueled by divine light and are transformed more and more into His likeness.

Sermon Series: Life Source

The book of 1 John ends in a surprising way: Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Our Managing Pastor, Andreas Dimond, encourages us to examine the things in our lives that keep us from an abundant relationship with Jesus Christ. He emphasizes the need to evaluate the role of digital technology in our lives.

Sermon Series: Life Source

Our teaching pastor, Gary Goodkey, kicks off our first 2025 sermon series called Life Source. Although we often look to other places for satisfaction and fulfillment, true life is found in the true life of Jesus Christ.

Our guest speaker, Kevin Martin, emphasizes the importance of dedicating time for reflection the presence of God as we close 2024 and welcome 2025. In our fast-paced culture, we often prioritize immediate action over thoughtful consideration, which is not always helpful. Let’s move into the new year with hearts that are seeking God.

Series: I Have Come

Our teaching pastor, Gary Goodkey, focuses on Jesus' mission to seek and save the lost, as stated in Luke 19:10. In the story of Zacchaeus, we learn that Jesus actively and lovingly searches for those who are spiritually lost. As believers, we too are to reach out to those who are lost and share the good news of Jesus Christ.

Series: I Have Come

Our guest speaker, Randy Hoffmann, encourages us from John 10:10: "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." Jesus offers not just existence, but a life filled with purpose, joy, and spiritual abundance. Contrasting Jesus as the "good shepherd" with false leaders depicted as thieves who "steal and kill and destroy," the sermon highlights that true fulfillment is found exclusively through Christ.

Series: I Have Come

Our guest speaker, Phil Barnes, spoke of Jesus as the Light of the world. Jesus illuminates the path for believers, guiding them out of spiritual darkness and into a life of purpose and clarity. By following Jesus, individuals can experience the "light of life," meaning they will not walk in darkness but will have the guidance and illumination that comes from Him.

Series: I Have Come

Gord Martin, our guest speaker, preaches from John 6:38: "For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do my own will." Jesus' mission was to accomplish the Father's will, particularly in providing salvation to humanity. We are encouraged to emulate Jesus' example by aligning our lives with God's will, fostering a deeper relationship with Him, and understanding that true fulfillment comes from surrendering personal desires to embrace God's plan.
