Rev. Tarak George preaches from 1 John 4:7-16.By Tarak George

It can be hard to believe that you were a wandering sheep with no intention whatsoever of listening to the Shepherd. We often like to think we had a certain kind of spiritual potential or something that caused us to baa, baa, baa all the way to Jesus. But, we were spiritual wanderers who were pursued by a good Shepherd who picked us up and carried …

Rev. Dan MacDonald preaches from 1 John 4: 1-6.By Dan MacDonald

The only way to withstand a hurricane of error is to be in a building with a solid foundation. To stand true for the sanctity and value of all life, Christians must have a solid foundation of what it means to be human. In particular, what it means to have been made a human by God.

We need a personal blessing based on the gospel.

Rev. Robert Cunningham preaches from John 8:1-11.By Robert Cunningham

It can be hard to live by faith. Especially when it seems like everything in the world is conspiring against you. Unless, of course, you know how the story ends. Our future reality is the bedrock of our current faithfulness. Or so it should be!

Jesus calls churches to follow godly leaders, guard its teaching, and suffer like Jesus.

The resurrection means that Jesus is vindicated, you are included, and that God’s church will keep growing.

Rev. Dan MacDonald preaches from Luke 24:1-12 and Hebrews 1:1-4.By Dan MacDonald

The living God came to earth and offered up His life in our stead. Even though he died, he yet lives. And as our living Redeemer he shall return to judge the living and the dead and outfit his people with new, resurrected bodies designed to endure forever in praise of Him. This is so much better than a manmade, weird tradition of a rabbit with choc…

Rev. Dan MacDonald preaches from Zechariah 9:9-11 and Matthew 2:1-11.By Dan MacDonald

We can keep on trusting God even in our deepest suffering because Jesus has redeemed us completely and effectively through His death and resurrection.

There are two ways to explore the mountains. We have been combing the hills and valleys for several weeks examining the details of what Christ accomplished for us in our salvation. Now it is time to hop in the plane and fly high overhead to look at the person of Christ from three distinct angles. Who He was before He came. Who He was while He was o…

Rev. Kingsley Lai preaches from 1 John 3: 18-24.By Kingsley Lai

Every member of the Trinity is involved in our salvation. As the Word of the Gospel of Jesus goes forth, the Father saves those chosen in eternity past by the power of the Holy Spirit. No wonder Paul takes the time to rejoice in the powerful safeguarding work of the Spirit to keep us to the end.

The greatness of Jesus leads us to love, sexual purity, and contentment.

Rev. Tarak George preaches from 1 John 3: 11-18.By Tarak George

Never try to approach God by trying to be good enough. It will destroy you. Through Jesus, receive his unshakeable kingdom, and then respond in thankfulness and worship.

God calls every Christian to minister—to love and serve others. Within the local church, each member is responsible to carry out the work of ministry which is building up the body of Christ.

Our trials are a tool that our loving Father uses to help us grow.

Rev. Dan MacDonald preaches from Hebrews 12:1-2.By Dan MacDonald

Ryan Soo preaches from 1 John 2:29 - 3:1-10.By Ryan Soo

We are good at remembering we have an inheritance waiting for us in glory. We are perhaps less faithful at remembering we are God’s inheritance. Why would He speak of us in those terms? Isn’t that making too much out of us, especially when you think about all the ways we mess up and fail Him?

Endure by laying aside encumbrances and focusing your eyes on Jesus.

Rev. Dan MacDonald preaches from 1 John 2:18-28.By Dan MacDonald

Trust what God says is true, even when it doesn’t look like it.

The Bible is not a crystal ball. It is better than that. For, in His Word, God chooses to reveal some events in the future that will occur. Usually He tells us about these future things in order to refine how we are living in the present. The Apostle knew that — apart from the help of the gracious Holy Spirit — we would never fully grasp how critic…

Rev. Dan MacDonald preaches from 1 John 2: 15-17.By Dan MacDonald

Eventually, all of us will be afflicted by suffering, burdened with doubts, deceived by sin. We all can be tempted to fall away from God. We need to learn endurance. Hebrews 10:19-39 teaches us how.

Your suffering is real. So is God. Take them both seriously and you can have tears in your eyes but also praise on your lips.

Rev. Tarak George preaches from 1 John 2: 12-14.By Tarak George

Jesus’ sacrifice deals decisively with the enormous offence of our sins.

Belief determines behaviour. Which means we will act incorrectly if we believe falsehood or we are simply ignorant of what is true. Paul understood this and began his letter to the Christians in Ephesus with a hymn that makes profound truth claims. These are not slogans or terms to be thrown around by people who like crossword puzzles. These are re…

Naaman was a great and powerful Syrian military commander. He had everything he ever wanted, but he also had one thing he only ever dreaded. Yet God chose to reach out to him, to heal him, and to draw him to himself.

Wonder again at Jesus, because the more we wonder at Jesus and his salvation, the less we’ll be tempted to wander from him.

Rev. Dan MacDonald preaches from 1 John 2:7-11.By Dan MacDonald

The idea that God might have decreed our future can seem a little oppressive to modern ears. But, what if that decree included the good of His people? Would it be better if everything was left to chance? Why did the Apostle Paul find such joy in pondering God’s certain adoption of His children?

Christ’s priesthood is the guarantee of our hope

Rev. Dan MacDonald preaches from 1 John 2:1-6.By Dan MacDonald

Rex Law preaches from 1 John 1:5-10.By Rex Law

The Lord Jesus has done so much for us. And as we are positionally identified with Him, all the spiritual blessings are secured for us. All of them! What a blessing.

Cling to Jesus under pressure because you can count on his promises, and he will give you the stability you need.

Rev. Dan MacDonald preaches from 1 John 1:1-4.By Dan MacDonald

King David wrote this song praising God for delivering him and the citizens of his kingdom Israel from the hands of all their enemies. The Greater King David was also delivered from his enemies — the death of King Jesus was the decisive victory over his enemies and ours: sin, death, hell and the Devil. Just as Israel benefited from their king’s vic…

Spiritual sluggishness destroys faith, so keep growing to the end.

Stephen Ahn preaches from 1 John 4: 7-11.By Stephen Ahn

As we leave the old year behind and set out into a new year, how can we have confidence that we are living in a way that is pleasing to God? What does it mean to live a meaningful and purposeful life? And what does delighting in God have to do with it? The Bible provides answers in an unexpected place.…
