Luke 8:4-21 - The Parable of the Sower - December 3, 2023

We can sometimes glance over this very common passage on the parable of the sower without questioning whether or not we might actually be one of the not so favourable soils. How well do you listen to the word of God when it speaks? Are you indifferent to it? Shallow in your response? Distracted by other things? Or do you receive and do the word of God as commanded? 

Luke 7:36-8:3 - You are a sinner. But there is good news - November 26, 2023

One of the central truths of the Christian faith is that mankind is sinful and fallen. It is only when we willing admit this and our own sin, that we truly see how wonderful the grace of God is. And when we see how wonderful the grace of God is, we will love him with all our hearts! 

Hebrews 8:1-13 - Jesus is Better - November 12, 2023 - Troy Nevitt

The book of Hebrews promises that the new is better than the old. But how? Hebrews 8 teaches about Jesus being a better high priest, and a better mediator of a better covenant. 

Luke 7:31-35 - The Sins of a Generation - November 19, 2023

Jesus turns his attention from talking about John to talking about the generation he is speaking to. They have ALOT of problems, and unfortunately our generation is not so different. What sins do we need to be fighting against and on guard against in our own lives? 

Luke 7:24-30 - Here is How You Can Be Great - November 5, 2023

It is quite the compliment for someone to call you great. It is especially the compliment if that person is Jesus. If Jesus thinks someone is great, we want to be like that person. So what made John the Baptist so great, and how can we be great? 

Luke 7:11-17 - Death Has Lost - October 22, 2023

We live in a world surrounded by death, and feels like at times that death has won the final victory. That it will inevitably claim and destroy everything. And it feels like God either isn't doing anything, or doesn't care enough to do anything. But Jesus' miracle here shows us that Jesus is both caring in our suffering, and able to defeat our greatest and final enemy. 

Luke 7:18-23 - Expectations, Doubts, and Accepting Jesus as he is - October 29th, 2023

Even the great John the Baptist has questions about Jesus. What happens when we have expectations about or from Jesus that he doesn't meet? Where does that lead us? And what should we do when we start to doubt the Jesus we thought we knew? 

Luke 7:1-10 - You’re Not Enough, But He is -October 15, 2023

We hear in our culture the words "You are enough. You are worthy. The power is within you!". But is that true? Are we really enough? Are we truly worthy? Is the ability to change and have a blessed life something that comes from within? No. In fact, all that can stand in the way of a truly blessed life. 

Luke 6:46-49 - The Only Firm Foundation - October 8, 2023

We all are going to live our lives built upon something. Everyone has a worldview that everything they do flows from. But only one foundation will stand, and that is a life built upon the foundation of God's Word and obedience to it. Are you building on that? 

Luke 6:43-45 - A Tree and its Fruit - October 1, 2023

How do you know if someone is really a Christian? How do you know if you are really a Christian? Is there a way to know the true character of someone? Jesus says there is: A tree is known by its fruit. How does this then apply to us?
