The River: Downstream

The shepherds were too stunned to speak! How will that change how they spread the good news? This week of Advent we are focusing on what it means to love, and be loved.

How was the news delivered to Mary that she was going to give birth to Jesus Christ our saviour? And was this news met with joy, even this message of peace bringing?

Here is our series finale! How are we content, what makes us content, how does that contentment come from Christ?

Phil 4:1-9 contains some of the most memorable phrases that are often quoted by followers of Christ. This Sunday we reach the penultimate message of Being In Christ, and it promises to be the ultimate in discovering the Greatest Love Ever.

This week we have a bonus episode from our Children's Ministry: A radio show set in the time of Elijah!

How are we transformed in Jesus to be like Jesus?

Greatest Love Ever is bolstered by the righteousness given to us through Christ’s righteousness. Join us as we discover this truth from Philippians 3:1-9.

What does it mean to be Obedient in Christ. Why do we obey the teachings of the Bible and the word of God if we are already saved?

The Greatest Love Ever requires that we are one, unified, together. What does that look like, and what might hinder our coming together? Phil. 1:27 to 2:11 give us a picture of how Paul would answer those questions. Here's what it means to be One in Christ

What did living in Christ look like for Paul? What can we do to live into that Life?
