Luke 5:1-11 - Encountering Jesus Changes Everything - July 2, 2023

We encounter Jesus in many different ways throughout our lives. Through his Word, through prayer, or maybe through the first time we hear the gospel. When we encounter him, the question is put before us, "how are we going to respond?" Are we going to recognize him as who he is and follow him? Or are we going to continue on in our own ways? In this sermon we look at Simon's encounter with Jesus and how he leaves a changed man. 

1 Peter 3:7 - Encouraging and Honouring your Wives - June 25, 2023 - Andrew Zwart

Christian husbands have a God-given duty to understand and honour their wives. A husband's relationship with God is not disconnected from their relationship with their wife, and if they dishonour their wife, their prayers to God are hindered.

Luke 4:31-44 - The Authority of Jesus - June 18, 2022

It's time for Jesus to put rubber to the road. Is he the one he truly claims to be? Is he able to fulfill the mission he just stated? Jesus here has a few interactions that show his authority and whether he truly can overcome the evil in this world

Luke 4:14-30 - Preaching Good News to the Poor - June 11, 2023

In this passage, Jesus begins his ministry. He identifies himself as the Anointed One of Isaiah 61, and embraces the mission of the Messiah for himself. But the people of Nazareth seem to have an issue with this. What is all this poor, oppressed, blind talk? Do you recognize that the Kingdom of God is for the humble? 

Luke 4:1-11 - Jesus Has Overcome - June 4, 2023

Jesus emerges from the waters of baptism and the Father cries out "You are my Beloved Son". But Adam was also the son of God, and how did that turn out? Jesus is led by the Spirit into the wilderness to see if he can do what Adam and Israel and all else failed to do when faced with temptation

Luke 3:21-38 - The True and Better Adam - May 28, 2023

Jesus' Baptism. Why was it important? What is God saying in the baptism of Jesus? What is Luke trying to communicate to us in the genealogy of Jesus? Is Jesus finally the solution to all of our problems? 

Luke 3:1-20 - The Message is Simple, Repent! - May 21, 2023

God has not sent a prophet for 500 years, but the time has come for John the Baptist to begin his ministry. What will he come preaching? Well one simple message, Repent! What is true repentance? What is it reflected by? Are you truly repentant? 

1 Corinthians 5:1-13 and Matthew 18:15-20 - A Healthy Church Practices Church Membership - May 14, 2023

As the final sermon in our series on the marks of a healthy church, we are looking at Church Membership. Now membership isn't mentioned in the Bible, but does that mean it isn't biblical? Should you be a member of a local church? What is the authority given to the local church? All these questions looked at and more. 

Ephesians 2:8-10, Hebrews 10:24-25 - A Healthy Church Disciples On Another - May 7, 2023

The church is called to evangelize the lost, but also to disciple those who come to know the Lord. Discipleship, is therefore part of the mission of the church. And it matters to God because holiness matters to God. So what does discipleship look like?
