By The Book - The Sower and The Four Grounds

Join us as we continue our current series, By The Book.  This week Pastor Neli speaks to us about the parable of the sower and how we can check the conditions of our heart.  It’s in moments where we are unsure that we actually find out what our lives are founded on.  God desires us to have roots that penetrate deeply within the soil of our heart.  Are you willing to lay down your life for others, no matter the season they are going through?

And other seeds fell into good soil and produced grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.” And he said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” - Mark 4:8-9 (ESV)

By The Book - What Does The Bible Say About...?

Join us as we continue our current series, By The Book.  This week Pastor Neli helps to address what is in our hearts when we try to look for meaning when we ask, “What does God say about…?”. God always knows what’s best for us because he has eternal perspective.  Are you willing to turn to God no matter the cost?

 

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. - 1 Corinthians 15:56-58 (ESV)

By The Book - How To Read The Bible

Join us as we continue our current series, By The Book.  This week Pastor Neli teaches us how we should read The Bible.  When reading The Bible you should ask yourself, where it was written, what is the genre, and by who it was written.  The Bible is God’s story and we read The Bible to meet with God.  Will you commit to meeting God every day in His scriptures?

Blessed are you, O Lord;
    teach me your statutes!
With my lips I declare
    all the rules of your mouth.
In the way of your testimonies I delight
    as much as in all riches.
I will meditate on your precepts
    and fix my eyes on your ways.
I will delight in your statutes;
    I will not forget your word.

- Psalm 119:12-16 (ESV)

Grace Changes Everything - The One Man Gang

Join us as we continue with our current series, Grace Changes Everything.  This week Pastor Neli discusses how the actions of one man can impact the lives of generations to come. Through one man sin entered this world but there is one man who clothes us in righteousness. We are righteous because of the price that has been paid through one man, Jesus Christ.

For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. - Romans 5:17 (ESV)

Grace Changes Everything - While You Were Creeping

Join us as we continue our current series, Grace Changes Everything.  This week Pastor Neli teaches us how we can rejoice.  We can rejoice in God, through hardships, and in reconciliation.  The gravity of our worship will be determined by the gravity of the revelation of the grace of God that you have.  Have you been reconciled with God and others through Jesus?

Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. - Romans 5:1-2 (ESV)

Grace Changes Everything - Futuristic Mannequins

Join us as we continue with our current series, Grace Changes Everything.  This week Pastor Neli is helping us to reflect on the future.  We are called to live with a generational mindset.  Is your life an example of faith that another generation can follow?  Is your satisfaction in God alone a great example for the next generation?  Stand on the shoulders of the past so you can be an example of faith for the future.

That is why it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his offspring—not only to the adherent of the law but also to the one who shares the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, as it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations”—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist. - Romans 4:16-17 (ESV)

Grace Changes Everything - The Scandalous Gift Part 2

Join us as we continue our current series, Grace Changes Everything.  This week Pastor Neli helps us to think about the gifts from God.  We can often take gifts we are given for granted.  We focus on what we don’t have rather than the blessings we have already received.  Will you accept the beautiful gift of grace that He has freely given to you today?

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. - Romans 3:23-24 (ESV)

Grace Changes Everything - The Scandalous Gift

Join us as we continue our series, Grace Changes Everything.  This week Pastor Neli talks about how to build what God has called us to do. A life centred on God will bring you peace and fearlessness.  God does great things when you are firmly founded in Him.  A faith that is firmly founded God will cause curiosity which will open up opportunities for people to receive the gospel.  

Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision? Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God. What if some were unfaithful? Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God? By no means! Let God be true though every one were a liar, as it is written,  “That you may be justified in your words, and prevail when you are judged.? - Romans 3:1-4 (ESV)

You Asked For It - Powered Up

Join us as we continue with our current series, You Asked For It.  This week Henry Peterson discusses more about the power of the Holy Spirit.  Who is the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit empowers us, inspires us, fills us up, and prompts us every day of our lives.  Our lives become a miraculous healing testimony of God’s goodness and grace when the Holy Spirit is operating in us.  Do you want to live with the power of the Holy Spirit in your life?

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” - Acts 1:8 (ESV)

You Asked For It - Is This The End?

Join us as we continue our current series, You Asked For It.  This week Pastor Neli helps us to reflect how we should respond or react to the "End Times".  What does The Bible say regarding "end times" in the Book of Revelation and elsewhere?  There are those who focus too much on the time when Jesus will return but have you focused on being his witness living with holiness and godliness?  If you are a follower of Jesus, you have nothing to fear.  Are you ready?

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.  Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness - 2 Peter 3:10-11 (ESV)
