March 22, 2026 "Love as Worship: Honouring God in Everyday Life" Hebrews 13:1-14
Life can feel overwhelming, and in a world that often pushes us towards self-centeredness, the call to self-sacrificial love emerges as both a challenge and a beautiful opportunity. As we reflect on the notion of worship, many of us picture songs and rituals, yet true worship encompasses so much more—it’s how we treat one another, particularly those who are marginalized or suffering.
In this sermon, we’ll unpack the significance of honouring one another in our homes, our churches, and our communities. We’ll explore what it means to love our neighbours, including strangers and those who may...

Feb 22, 2026 "Everyday Hall of Famers" Hebrews 11:32-40
This week, we’re exploring a powerful sermon titled “Everyday Hall of Famers,” and it’s a timely reminder that true faith isn’t only about triumphs and victories, but also about navigating the complexities and challenges of life.
Have you ever felt like you’re not measuring up, especially when you compare yourself to those “Hall of Famers” of faith, like Abraham, Moses, or the prophets? Well, today, we’ll look at Hebrews 11—they’re often celebrated for their extraordinary acts of faith. But what happens when faith doesn’t come with a trophy or a spotlight? What about those quieter...
Feb 15, 2026 "Faith That Endures" Hebrews 11:20-31
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been navigating through Hebrews chapter 11, a beautiful passage that highlights what genuine faith looks like. This week, we’ll reflect on powerful stories from biblical figures like Abraham and Moses, who each faced immense trials yet chose to trust God’s timing and character. Their journeys exemplify that faith isn’t just about belief; it’s about action, endurance, and the courage to stand strong amidst uncertainty.
We’ll tackle vital questions: How do we live out our faith authentically in a culture that pushes us toward comfort and self-interest? How do we respon...
Feb 8, 2026 "Faith That Goes" Hebrews 11:8-19
Have you ever wrestled with the concept of faith? What does it truly mean to trust and act on those beliefs, especially in times of hardship? Faith can often feel intangible; it's about believing without seeing, obeying without knowing, and trusting without fully understanding. But today, we're going to unpack what a lived faith looks like through the lens of Abraham—a man whose journey exemplified resilience and trust in God's promises, even when circumstances seemed insurmountable.
In this sermon, Michael explores the five key aspects of living a faithful life: the idea that faith is a journey th...

His once-for-all sacrifice is not just an act of mercy, but an invitation into a deeper, more intimate relationship with God.Â
Rick challenges us to see God as more than a figure to obey out of obligation; instead, He is our loving Father, beckoni...
Jan 11, 2026 "Drawing Near Through Christ" Hebrews 9:1-28
In a world where guilt and shame often hold us back from experiencing true connection and intimacy, today’s sermon titled "Drawing Near Through Christ" invites us to reflect on a vital question: Do we draw near to God fully believing that we are forgiven, or do feelings of inadequacy keep us at bay.Â

This week we embark on a journey through one of the most profound and moving passages in the Bible: Isaiah 6.
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the reality of your own shortcomings? In this week's sermon, titled "The Holiness of God," we confront the staggering purity of God and the undeniable sinfulness of humanity.

In this sermon, we explore the life of Mary, the mother of Jesus, who embodies a profound and radiant joy amid challenging times. Imagine receiving news that changes your life forever. Mary was faced with exactly that when an angel announced she would give birth to the Savior. Her response? Instead of succumbing to fear or doubt, she...
Dec 7, 2025 “Come Hold My Hand” Luke 2:8-20
As we journey through the stories of Advent, we often reflect on the hope and joy that the birth of Christ brings. But today, we’re focusing on something that eludes many of us amidst life's chaos: the true peace of Christ.
This week, we’ll explore the incredible story of the shepherds—those seemingly insignificant figures who were entrusted with the greatest news of all. Imagine being terrified in the dead of night, and then experiencing an overwhelming display of God’s glory! It’s a stark contrast that mirrors our own lives when we face fear and uncert...
Nov 30, 2025 “How Hope Responds”
As we kick off this special series, we’re diving into the theme of hope—a cornerstone of our faith and a vital part of the Christmas narrative.
This week, we're exploring a familiar yet profound story: the arrival of the Magi, the wise men who traveled great distances in search of the newborn King.

How do we respond to the promise of Christ’s coming...

This week, we’re taking a closer look at Hebrews Chapter 7, where we encounter the remarkable figure of Jesus Christ as our perfect high priest. This isn’t just a theological exploration; it’s an invitation to experience a transformative relationship with God, one that abolishes the barriers we often feel between ourselves and the divine.Â
For centuries, the people of Israel relied on a flawed system of priests—some good, some not so good—who could only approach God once a year, on behalf of the people. But through Jesus, a new way is made possible, allowing us unpreced...
Nov 2, 2025 “Deep Roots Or Dead Soil?” Hebrews 6:4-8
This week, we’ll reflect on a powerful moment in our church community—Baptism Sunday—where we celebrate the steps of faith taken by individuals that remind us of our own beginnings in Christ.
Together, we’ll look into Hebrews 6, a passage many theologians consider one of the most challenging in the New Testament. What does it mean for us to grow in maturity? Are we, like the Israelites, sometimes content with our current level of faith, wandering through life without truly engaging in the transformative journey God has for us?
We’ll explore the three major inte...
Oct 26, 2025 “At Least I Have Milk” Hebrews 5:11-6:3
Have you ever found yourself rolling your eyes at someone who just won't grow up? Perhaps it's that friend who still acts like a teenager, or maybe it's a family member who seems stuck in their ways. In this sermon, we’ll confront a similar reality within ourselves as believers. Are we still sipping on spiritual milk when we should be feasting on solid food?Â

Have you ever felt a whisper of doubt creeping in, or found yourself questioning your faith? You're not alone.

As he draws parallels between the monumental fi...
Sept 21, 2025 “Showing Us The Way” Hebrews 2:5-18
Have you ever paused to consider why God chose to come to Earth in human form? Why did He endure suffering and ultimately meet a tragic end on the cross?

In this week's message, we’ll unpack how Jesus is not only greater than the angels but also greater than Adam. Through His life, death, and resurrection, He redefines humanity and offers us a glimpse of how...
Sept 14, 2025 “Jesus Is Greater” Hebrews 1:4-14

July 6, 2025 "A Side/B Side" Matthew 22:34-40
Are you truly loving God with every fiber of your being? In his sermon, Tyler emphasizes that Jesus outlines the greatest commandments in Matthew 22: Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself. While the Pharisees attempted to trap Jesus with their tricky questions, He responded with clarity and profound truth, revealing that love should be at the core of our faith. Tyler’s perspective today challenges us to ask ourselves what we are famous for among our friends; are we more known for our love for sports or coffee than for our commitment to...
June 29, 2025 "So Now Go" Matthew 28:18-20
What if this summer became a season where you stepped boldly into your mission field?
