What are you sacrificing for the Lord?

Listen to the amazing Ben Fryer as he explores Leviticus and what God required in a sacrifice. God called for sacrifice but he called for sacrifice within our means. That being said, do you give to God something smaller than you can truely afford, spend less time than you have.

 Join us as we Ben explores these ideas in detail.

When we lose hope, we can easily begin to question whether God is with us or whether He is faithful. But God invites us onto a well-trodden path where His steadfast love and faithfulness become so familiar that, even in the middle of a trial, our hearts remain fixed on Him.

Join us as we hear from our Pastor Steve Troyer speak to us about God's Covenant Love for us. 

"The kingdom of heaven is near..." John the Baptist said it centuries ago - but how many of us are actually living like it's true? In this sermon, we're stirring up a fresh wonder for the kingdom of heaven, and digging into what it really mans for you to become a dwelling place of God's presence. 

Join us as we hear from our Pastor Steve Troyer. 

God relentlessly pursues His lost children - like a shepherd chasing one sheep or a father watching the horizon for a wayward son - not because we've earned it, but simply because we're precious to Him. its this encounter with His kindness and compassion, not our our own effort to clean ourselves up first, that actually produces genuine repentance and change in us. so the invitation is: wherever you've wandered, however lost or far off you feel, you can turn back to find the Father already running towards you.

Joiin us on our 18th Church Birthday as Liz Troyer brings us todays message about Growing Together as a Church Body.

Today we had we incredible pastor Steve Troyer speak on what it means to devote yourself to God with passion, leaving a legacy that only grows as it moves on.

We want to see fire and passion for the Lord that grows more and more through each generation. We want to see our young children in church be completely on fire for the lord. That starts this us and the legacy we're creating.

Finding it hard to keep your head above water? Do you feel like you're living out each day on repeat, wondering "when will tomorrow come?" In the relentlessness of life, how do we show faith and hope in our circumstances? When we remember who God is, we start to see our circumstances for what they really are. 

Join us as Jake Hartgers brings us todays message on Hope Against Hope. 

Reflecting on:

Psalm 23:1-6

Romans 4:16-5:5

1. Prayer

2. The Word

3. Take RISK

4. Immerse on Community

We live by faith, not by sight. And yet, so many times, we try to apply faith while having our sights on the wrong things. In this message, we look at how to know when you are actually stepping out in faith, and what can be a distraction or trap from the enemy to diminish our faith.

Life throws us many challenges, and it may feel like you are struggling in this season to keep up and/or to overcome the challenges you are facing. Jesus gives us a hope to hold on to in and beyond our challenges. He also promises us that He will never leave us or abandon us. He is right there in the middle of the challenges we face. In today’s message we explore the concept of ‘Resilient discipleship – A long obedience in the same direction.’

In life, we are constantly faced with tough decisions. "How should i spend my time", Who should i marry?, How do i juggle work and family? Rather then being overwhelmed by fear, let us take heart and be faithful in our choices.

If we are free then why do we keep sinning? A word on sanctification and Life in the Spirit.

Spend time with Jesus, be filled with the Holy Spirit, and take the next step of faith. I am courageous in Christ!

Join us as we hear from Belinda Lindgren who will be speaking about being Courageous in Christ.

The difference between striving and victory can be so subtle. It’s the difference between working for victory—and working from victory. God isn't calling us to create our own momentum, but to rally to Jesus, our Banner, and position our lives to catch the wind of His Spirit.

Join us as we listen to our guest speaker Paul Medhurst.

Using the story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19, this message explores the biblical call to hospitality. We will consider where our table is, who is at our table, and how simple acts of welcome can become opportunities for God to seek and save the lost. 

Today we hear from Rob Feeney.  The message flows from this place of self-awareness and explores the theme of ‘Where are we?” As we pursue leading people to come alive in their faith in Jesus and to make disciples who make disciples, knowing where we are is crucial to the success of this. Thinking about where we are, and why we do what we do, will help us engage wholeheartedly in this mission.

Listen to the incredible Craig Sparrow, Director of Healing Path to Wellness, as he finishes off our Kingdom Come 2026. 

Today we talk about what mountains are showing up in the world and in our own lives. Bringing people perspective to not focus on all the negative things happening around us, but searching for what God is doing in those places instead. How each and every one of us can be the ones doing God's work in the places around us everyday.

Jesus intended for us to not only be sober and alert to the light of Christ before us, he calls us to be cariers of his light. The surprising truth of the gospel is that Christ often shines brightest through surrendered weakness, not human strength. 

Those who want to see his kingdom come, cannot afford to hit the snooze button on the leading of the spirit. They must challenge their thinking, turn their face from distractions onto Jesus, be filled with the Spirit, and seek him in prayer and fasting. 

Where is your treasure, what are you valuing first in your life? Well Jesus tells us this is where your heart is also!

Join us as Jake Hartgers brings us todays message. 

Are you ready for the coming of the King?

Are you satisfied with your life? In a world that has convinced us that chasing after possessions, ,achievements, status, and reputation is the pinnacle, where do we find our contentment? Only when our contentment comes from the Lord can we truly make the most of the opportunities He provides. 

Join us as we listen to Ben Fryer bring us todays message. 

Ezekiel's vision in the bible is a call to go deeper, not to remain ankle deep in Christianity, but how do we go deep and remain there, how do we measure the fruits of our banks to know if we truly are living the resurrected life?

Join us as we hear from our guest speaker Caleb Holz.

We welcome Andrew Scarborough as he brings us todays message.

You will never discover who you truly are by looking at circumstances. You won't even fully discover it just by memorising truths about yourself. You discover who you are when you encounter the One whose attributes are now yours, and who overflows in you by His Spirit.

Join us as we hear Pastor Steve Troyer bring us a message. 

Living out of who we are

What does service really look like in our post-COVID world? How best do we utilise our time? And where?! In this message, we will look back at Paul's word to the early church.

Listen to our incredible Intern Pastor Jake Hartgers as he breaks apart Romans 12:1-13.  As he challenges each and everyone one of us what it looks like to serve God and each other. 

Discipleship is never done in isolation; it is always done in relationship. In this sermon we will explore our vision for Life Groups & PAR Groups as a model for making disciples who go and make disciples. 

Join us as Steve Troyer brings us todays message. 

Culture is the outcome of what we feed on. Good or bad. Every generation has a culture. Churches have a culture. Families have a culture. What we allow in and what we keep out, all impacts the culture we have as a church in making disciples - that matures into a disciple making church.

What does it mean to belong in the church. The church should be a place where everyone feels welcome and everyone is needed. If the body is the church and the church is made up from every single one of us, so that means every person is needed.

Listen to our amazing Next Gen Leader Tamara Soper as she speaks her heart about belonging.

At the end of the service we listened to "So will I (100 Billion X) by Hillsong"

What does your measure of joy reveal about your walk with jesus? Believers should be the most joy-full people on the planet. Let's look at why some believers don't experience the joy of the Lord, and how to gain it if you don't have it.

When we think about our future, its normal to have certain expectations, but often the reality can be quite different. So what does it look like for us as Christians to view the path before us and our own expectations?

Join us as we hear Jake talk about healing. 

Psalm 103:3 says He forgives ALL our sins and ALL our diseases. Not just one or two but ALL. Jesus brings healing and fullness of life. Jesus comes into your life when no one else could. 

God can use you to pray for the sick - even when you feel unqualified for the job. in this sermon, we will make a link between the power of God being poured out and the hunger and humility of people who pressed-in to seek Jesus and kingdom of God. There is a childlikeness to how we walk in this in faith. 

From the very first gospel presentation (found in Acts 2), Peter answers the crowd’s question by placing Jesus at the centre of God’s unfolding story. Joel foretold a day when God would pour out His Spirit on all people—signs that God is nearer than anyone realises. Peter declares that this day has arrived because Jesus has been raised from the dead and is now seated at the right hand of God.

How we understand the nearness of God affects our message as to whether the good news is good or not. The early message of the good news was that the kingdom of God was near, and demonstrated with signs and wonders. We are invited into this message. Jesus is looking for labourers. The kind of labourers he wants are birthed in prayer. Disciples of Jesus are sent-ones. They go in the same authority and Spirit as Christ, and the reality of the nearness of the kingdom of God.
