God Speaks From The Storm

God gives Job a majestic and challenging response from a whirlwind,  interrogating Job about the secrets of creation and the natural world, not merely to assert power, but to graciously expand Job's limited perspective.

Someone Needs to Tell You the TRUTH!

This morning, Pastor Dennis offers a message of comfort and strength, emphasizing that believers should find ultimate stability in the absolute sovereignty of God, who remains firmly in control and shares His rule with no one. God sees and holds us even through profound suffering. Anything the enemy or the world can throw at us — sin, death, and the Fall — is rendered insignificant and because of the finished work of Jesus Christ.

Bearing God's Image

We were blessed to have our brother, Suresh Singh with us. Suresh delivered a thought-provoking sermon on Mark 12:13-17, traditionally known as the "Render unto Caesar" passage. However, Suresh offered a fresh perspective on our identity as image-bearers of God. The sermon explored the profound implications of bearing God's image and our call to give ourselves fully to him.

Whoever Has Ears To Hear, Let Them Hear

Congregational Care Pastor, Bill VanderWerp's gives a message focused on the right way to listen to a sermon. He uses Jesus' Parable of the Sower to compare listeners to different types of soil, representing varying receptivity to God's word. To ensure the message falls on "good soil," Bill shares George Whitfield's five essential directions for preparing one's heart, focusing on applying the Word rather than judging the preacher.

Laying Down Offenses

In this week's sermon, we explore the response of Zophar to Job, focusing on how we handle offenses and challenging beliefs. The message discusses the danger of holding onto rigid assumptions that prevent us from showing compassion and understanding to others, especially those who are suffering. We must root our identity in God's love and be open to his work beyond our limited understanding.

You Can’t Take It With You

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you knew something, but didn't truly understand it? Possessing knowledge is different from truly connecting with its meaning. This distinction between knowledge and understanding is at the heart of a profound spiritual lesson about empathy, hope, and experiencing God's presence in our darkest moments.

Finding Strength in God When Life Feels Overwhelming

Have you ever felt like you're carrying more than you can handle? Like the weight of your circumstances is crushing you, and you're not sure how much longer you can hold on? If so, you're not alone. Many of us have heard the well-meaning phrase, "God won't give you more than you can handle." But is this really true? And more importantly, what do we do when life feels like it's too much?
