Talks from Sundays

What happens when we’ve blown it? What happens when we end up doing things we never imagined possible?

Psalm 51 gives us David’s brutally honest response to failure, guilt and shame and shows us a way back to God. Through confession, surrender, cleansing and renewal, David discovers that our brokenness doesn’t have to be the end of the story. There is hope.

With its author, king David, we can boldly approach God in prayer. We can pray as he did, and we are being helped by, like David does, reminding ourselves of the character of God, of his goodness, his mercy his steadfast love and faithfulness. Most important the Psalm encourages and helps us in any circumstance to put our trust in the Lord, our God.

This message is the beginning of our series in the Psalms. Looking at Psalm 131, we are looking for the ways that God invites us to a place of deeper intimacy and time with him and some practical ways to walk that out.

This message closes out our series on the Names of God, and focuses on the Lord our Shepherd. In Psalm 23, we meet the God who guides and leads us into green pastures and beside still waters, even as we walk through valley of the shadow of death. This Psalm is also a picture of the gospel, of Jesus our Good Shepherd, who came to find and rescue us.

In this message we explore how God challenges Abraham to surrender the thing he values most, and how that surrender becomes the doorway to God's miraculous provision. We see that this is the pattern God calls us to embrace: surrender that leads to His provision, ultimately pointing us to Jesus, whose sacrifice on the cross makes God's greatest provision possible.

In this fourth message of our Knowing God series, we explore the meaning of God’s promise, “I am the Lord, who heals you,” first spoken to Israel after He made the bitter waters of Marah drinkable. While it promised healing and restoration to God’s people then, the New Testament reveals it as a picture of God’s continuing desire to heal and restore all who place their trust in Jesus.

In this sermon Hsoc looks at Exodus 17:8-16 where we discover the name of God: Jehovah Nissi. It covers various aspects of living in the victory available to us through Jesus.

This week in our Knowing God series, we encounter El Roi - the God who sees me. Through the story of Hagar in Genesis 16, we discover a God who actively seeks the lost, notices the overlooked, and meets people in their wilderness places. More than learning another name of God, this message invites us into an encounter with the One who knows us by name, sees our pain, and speaks hope over our lives.

Vahé starts off the series on the Names of God explaining how knowing who God shapes who we are and who we are becoming, and how we are designed to live a God-centred life. He looks at the significance behind God revealing His Name at the burning bush, what His Name tells us about who He is and how this revelation can change us.

In this message, we explore the vital role of the Holy Spirit in the life of every believer. We look at God's invitation to each of us to receive the Spirit, walk with the Spirit, and be led by the Spirit each day.
