Have you ever noticed that it is so easy to start a project, but it's hard to finish them? When you are excited it makes the time just fly by, but once real life sets in, it can be hard to complete the task. The same thing is true in our...

Sometimes when we look at our life in the church or the life of the church from the outside, there might be something missing: love. As we start our new series on the 7 Letters to the Churches of Revelation, Jesus has a message about doing a heart...

Jesus, the one who has authority over the church, starts the letter of Revelation by addressing the church of Ephesus. They are commended for many things but are reminded that their motivation is of primary importance to Christ. Even more than their...

Every year we make resolutions to improve our lives, eat better, exercise more, reconnect with old friends and that is a good impulse! The desire to improve and better our lives is a good desire, the question is always where we go looking for it. The...

For whatever reason, forgetting the incredible acts of God is something people are good at. To help the Israelites remember, God did something special for them: He commanded them to create a monument, a sign for future generations, that would point...

How can we follow Jesus more closely as we head into a new year? How do we even know what he wants from us? Paul appeals to the church in Rome to be renewed and transformed by God. As we are rooted in the Gospel we give our whole selves to God in...

The fact that the angel appeared to unlikely people in an unlikely place (shepherds outside of Bethlehem) with good news of great joy shows us that this news is for everybody! Jesus really came into the world at Christmas to make you right with God...

Zechariah experienced the mercy and redemption of God and it drove him to worship. Each one of us, who has experienced the grace and mercy of Jesus, should be filled with hope and compelled to radical worship because of the kindness shown to us by the...

The foundation that John’s birth and prophetic mandate, given by his father Zechariah, laid for Jesus’ life and ministry is also foundational for our lives and ministry. This sermon explores six foundational aspects of a fruitful life and ministry...

In Luke's gospel, he includes the story of Zechariah & Elizabeth the parents of John the Baptist. In the months prior to the arrival of John the Baptist, It appears that Zechariah, his father, had a crisis in his faith. After some time on...

Ever tried? Ever failed? Admittedly, some of the gaffs that we can make are worse than others. But what about when we sin against someone? Against God? Are there really second chances to mend harms? The story of God’s grace in the life of Zechariah...

Our lives are too often defined by the word “busy”, especially around Christmas. But as we continue in the story of Christmas, we need to pause and hear how Mary responded to this amazing news. Mary is preoccupied not with all the things that she...

Mary begins her hymn of praise to God by saying, “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour.” As we move toward Christmas, we remember that God poured and will continue to pour out mercy on those who look to him in faith...

When we read the Magnificat we might wonder how a 13-year-old girl could possibly compose such loft hymn of praise. Yet, when we begin to understand the reality of her circumstance and all that is coming into focus we find ourselves joining with her...

Fundamentally, Christmas is about God initiating. He sent angels, He chose Mary, He invited shepherds and wise men to celebrate, and ultimately, we are reminded that God came to those in need at Christmas. Jesus came to the humble and still comes to...
