This Sunday we are starting a short (four week) topical series on the Bible, God’s Word, the Holy Scriptures. I am excited to be sharing the pulpit with Marcus Young, James D’Souza and Richard Boswell for this series. This coming Lord’s Day I will be preaching Psalm 19. Our statement of faith describes the Bible as, “a perfect treasure of …

God Will Give You More Than You Can Handle “I have heard many people say God will not give you more than you can handle and they often say it with good intentions – to try and comfort someone walking through difficulty or suffering. Maybe you have even said it. Let not your heart be troubled, I have said it …

This Sunday we will finish our study through the book of Philippians. Our text will be Philippians 4:21-23. I find myself (too often) flying through introductions and final greetings of epistles. We can treat them as if they are less important than the body of the letter. This as you know couldn’t be further from the truth. Introductions and final greetings are …

Stop Excommunicating Yourself From The Lord’s Supper “The Lord’s Table is not only one of the most intimate and exhilarating times of worship for the local church, it’s also one of the most controversial. As we look back through church history, we see that John Rogers and other Puritans were burned at the stake for their view of the Lord’s …

This Sunday our preaching text will be Philippians 4:10-20. The past couple of weeks we have been considering Paul’s “last things” before closing out the letter. This falls into that category, but it is different than the previous two sections that we have considered. Whereas, in 4:2-7 and 4:8-9 we see these short, clear and helpful reminders being piled up on top …

I am gathering articles that I have previously read and kept, or am reading throughout the week that will encourage, challenge and teach us in a wide range of areas. The plan is to provide two, three, maybe four articles at the end of each week, things you can read over the weekend. My hope in doing this is that it …

This Sunday we continue our study through the book of Philippians, and our text will be Philippians 4:8-9. Paul is delivering the “last things” he needs to communicate to his beloved friends in Philippi before closing the letter. In our text last week (4:2-7) we saw Paul bringing multiple exhortations and connecting them to a promise, the promise of the …

I pray you were all encouraged in the Lord this past Sunday in meeting and hearing from the Klockenga’s and Keres’, our missionaries to the First Nations Peoples of Cat Lake in Northern Ontario. Please remember to pray for them as they teach and rest over the next couple of weeks in Los Fresnos before heading back to the mission …

This Sunday we have the blessing of worshiping with our To Every Tribe missionary families. Matt and Ashley Klockenga with their two daughters Gracie and Emma, and Ron and Jen Keres with their two sons Owen and Graham. They will be with us for congregational worship on Sunday morning, and back with us Sunday evening for dinner and an update …

This Sunday we will work back into our study through the book of Philippians. Our text will be Philippians 3:17-4:1. Paul is writing to his friends and fellow laborers in the gospel at a very difficult time, both for him and for them. Paul is being held as a prisoner in Rome awaiting trial and the Church in Philippi is …
