Easter Series: 'Hope In the Shadows'

Life can often feel like a series of highs and lows — moments of joy and clarity, but also seasons of confusion, difficulty, and pain. In these darker times, when we feel overshadowed by sorrow, fear, or uncertainty, it can be hard to find our way. Yet, Scripture reminds us that even when we feel like we are ‘living in the shadows’, we are not alone God’s presence, promises, and purposes remain steadfast, even in the midst of our struggles.

As Holy Week begins this weekend, also known as the Passion Week of Christ we will explore what it meant for people to live in the shadows during the final week of Christ’s like on earth. The people of Jerusalem were waiting for a king — but perhaps not the kind of king that was arriving. The hope they placed in Jesus was real, but it was also shaped by their expectations and understanding of what the Messiah would be.

Join us this Palm Sunday, as we will take a deeper look at Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem.  A day filled with joy, anticipation, and yes even hope.  ‘The Hope of the Arriving King’ who arrived not only then but still does today.

Made New

Our spiritual journey is always about taking steps of faith. This weekend people will be taking their next step of faith by getting water baptized. This is an opportunity for them to publicly declare their decision to receive Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour and their desire for Him to be Lord of their lives. In this regard they have been ‘made new’. So we invite you to come witness the joy, the hope and the celebration that comes through taking this powerful step of faith. Bring your family and friends and get ready for an unforgettable Water Baptism Celebration! We can’t wait to see you there!

As announced at our Annual Business Meeting we are designating the first Sunday of each month as Building Fund Day starting Sunday, April 6.  We are encouraging everyone to give an extra offering that day towards helping us eliminate our current mortgage.  Just mark your envelope accordingly. Let’s do our part and trust God to work a miracle in helping us retire our mortgage.

CONTINUE TO PRAY … for our Tanzania missions team, that is currently there from March 27-April 6. Also the many families that are grieving the loss of loved ones.  

SPECIAL WEATHER NOTICE … with the forecast of a severe spring storm this weekend, please watch for any notifications of change of plans for events.

The Crossroads of Goodness and Suffering

In a world full of pain, loss, and hardship, many wonder: How can a good, loving, and all-powerful God allow suffering? If we have experienced more good than evil in our lives, we might justifiably believe that God is good. If the reverse is true, we might come to the opposite conclusion. This Sunday, we will explore the profound question: If circumstances cannot change the character of God, then what does suffering reveal about who He truly is?

Whether you're grappling with personal pain, seeking deeper understanding, or wrestling with theological questions, this message is for you. Together, we’ll explore how to trust in God’s goodness, even when we don’t have all the answers.  Invite someone to join you this Sunday as we also celebrate Communion together!

The Times We Are In

We are certainly living in times of unprecedented challenges, changes and developments. How are we to keep up with all that is taking place? Disagreements taking place in society and families because of thoughts, opinions and viewpoints are causing so much division. Is this the way Jesus meant for us to live? Were we meant to be in constant conflict with each other or did Jesus call us to peace?

Please join us this Sunday as we see how the word of God calls out the ills affecting our society  and calls us to the One who is the only hope for what is facing us today. 

I will be bringing a message entitled "The Times We Are In." We look forward to the great presence of the Lord as we worship together, have a time of communion and hear His preached word.

See you Sunday!

Treasure in Fragile Vessels / Jars of Clay

You have got treasure!

Treasure! We have all heard the word before. When we think of treasure we may wish we have a little bit more of it – People go on dangerous expeditions to hunt for lost treasures just to show how valuable it is. When we think of treasure we think of money, lots of it - wealth, something of great worth and value; a collection of precious things, such as jewelries in gold or diamonds and precious metals- we all agree that these are valuable and expensive commodities.

Most people who have accumulated treasure, do whatever they can to protect and keep their wealth safe; they will put their wealth in very secure places such as vaults or in safety deposit boxes.

Well, in our message text for Sunday, 2 Corinthians 4: 7, Paul tells us that God has placed a treasure in vessels of clay, yes, that’s right, Jars of Clay. We all know what Jars of clay are; They are fragile, breakable and inexpensive containers. What’s up with that?

Come on Sunday to find out what is this treasure, who are these Jars of clay, why did God do such a thing, and how does this relate and impact our Christian experience.

Keep Moving Forward : Taking Ground

Keep Moving Forward : Taking Ground

Our focus for our final week in our 21 Day Fasting and Prayer journey is on ‘Taking Ground’, where we take bold steps forward and experience victory in different areas of our lives.

This week, allow God to reveal truths to you, change your perspective and position you to step forward! (from ‘Forward’ – 21 Days of Fasting & Prayer – Bible App)

Keep Moving Forward : Being Led By Holy Spirit

Keep Moving Forward : Being Led By Holy Spirit

The second week’s focus during our 21 Days of Fasting and Prayer is about Being Led by the Holy Spirit. Jesus promised us that He would send the Holy Spirit into our lives as our helper, comforter and guide.

When we do so we become empowered to fulfill our God-given purpose in our lives.  Learn all about in this Sunday’s service and as we celebrate communion together.

Breaking Through Life's Breaking Points

Breaking Through Life’s Breaking Point

Feeling overwhelmed?  Life’s challenges can push us to our limits, leaving us feeling hopeless and drained. But in our weakest moments, God’s strength is made perfect.

Join us this Sunday as we discover how God uses life’s toughest pressures to deepen our trust in Him. Learn how even in despair, God’s power is at work, and how He can raise us up from the brink of giving up. You are not alone. Let’s find hope together, even in the hardest times.

The fourth Sunday of every month is Missions Sunday.  We will feature a brief testimony of the incredible work that Jordan is doing as one of our young global workers. So plan to give an offering for missions too.

Pastor’s Chat: ‘YOUR EXAMPLE’ – This Sunday, 8pm, Livestream
There is great power in being an example. It is not only inspirational but gives people a pattern to follow and learn from but most of all it can have a great influence on people.

Learn how to walk in wisdom that wins people simply by living as an example to others.

God Is Not Intimidated

God Is Not Intimidated

We are living in times where it seems like intimidation is the order of the day. We can be intimidated by so many challenges and circumstances that we see and hear around us. However, we want you to know today that our "God is not intimidated" or limited by anything that is taking place. This coming Sunday we have a special guest speaker - Dr. Harrison Mungal.

Dr. Mungal will guide you through a profound study, revealing the timeless truth that God is never intimidated by our limitations or our dreams. His resources are boundless, ready to meet all our needs according to His abundant riches. In this message, you will come to understand that God is not discouraged by the boldness of our desires or the depth of our prayers—He encourages us to dream big and ask boldly, trusting in His limitless power and love. As you get into the Word, you’ll witness the transformative presence of God in the lives of His people throughout history. The same God who provided then, is still with us today, unchanging and faithful, inviting us to trust Him with all we are and all we hope to become.

We look forward to seeing you this Sunday morning.  Please invite a friend and join us as we enjoy the presence of the Lord and dive into His word.

In our Sunday night's Pastor's Chat we will be looking at the five Ts of the Christian life. Looking forward to seeing you online as we explore these 5 aspects
