The next sermon in our Christmas series explored God’s gift of hope from Matthew 1:18-25. This hope is a different kind of hope - one which is promised, secured, and does not depend on our circumstances. The Gospel of Matthew intentionally begins with Jesus’ genealogy, setting the stage for God’s unfolding plan...
This Christmas through our sermon series, we rediscover the wonder of God’s generosity in Christ. As we exchange gifts to show love, we are reminded that the greatest gifts come not from us but from God Himself. In sending His Son, God has given us treasures beyond measure - peace, hope, joy, grace, and ...
We concluded our sermon series through Revelation 6-16 last Sunday by looking at Revelation 15-16. These chapters assure believers that while we may never see true justice in this world, God’s perfect justice will be shown at the end and His people’s hope will not disappoint. As we come to the end of the ...
We looked through Revelation 14:1-15:4 on Sunday to consider two sure and certain eternal outcomes, and we were challenged to faithfully endure in living God’s way. In contrast to the previous chapter, where many are marked by the beast, John sees a vision of God’s redeemed people - marked with the name of ...

We looked through Revelation 10-11 last Sunday to consider the church’s call to be faithful witnesses for Christ during these final days as we wait for His return. Having heard the proclamation of God’s judgement through the previous six trumpets, John provides another interlude before the seventh trumpet sounds...
In the next sermon of our series, we were brought through Revelation 8:2-9:21 to hear how the sovereign God mercifully warns people to repent and punishes those who persist in rebellion against Him. John’s second cycle of visions begins with seven angels holding seven trumpets. Before any trumpet is blown ...
On Sunday, we looked at Revelation 7:1-8:1 to consider how believers can be certain of their belonging to Jesus, standing safe and secure on the final judgement day.
