With Easter just a few weeks away, we are going to look together at some of the events that mark Jesus final week leading up to his crucifixion. We are going to apply ‘What if’ questions to the accounts, wondering how things might be different ...

Passage: Matthew 8:5-13Preacher: Juhan Klooster (JK)

When we look at the third commandment it seems, on the surface, and easy one to avoid breaking: just don’t swear using the name of God. Simple, let’s move to the fourth commandment. If that’s all that is at stake, a little self-control would br...

Psalm 90 is a psalm of meditation and reflection. It reflects on two massive truths about God and life here on this earth. But these reflections aren't just an exercise in navel-gazing, they lead to a response. Psalm 90 shows us how to respond ...

Last Sunday we looked at the first commandment which makes it clear who the object of our worship must be: YHWH alone. But how is he to be worshipped? That is the question addressed in the second commandment, which in brief says, with no idols....

Preacher: Bill Berends Passage: Zech 11:4-14; Mt 21:1-16, 23-46  

Psalm 15 is one of the shortest psalms, but it packs a punch as it asks the daunting question, ‘Who is worthy?’  Who is righteous enough to dwell in God’s presence? Who has the right, by the way they live, to be accepted with God? Our resp...

Preacher: Jim de Witte Passage: Psalm 14 

In Psalm 13 there is a recurring question, “How long?” David wants to be delivered. He thought God had forgotten him and more. David faith is tested as he feels abandoned by God and so doubts his goodness. Can anything be worse than that? Maybe...

It seems strange to have this song of John as the last in our Christmas series of songs of Jesus. We don’t often include John the Baptist in our Christmas celebrations. Maybe that’s on purpose because he is a very upsetting figure in dress and ...

Preacher: Jim de Witte Passages: Luke 2:1-21 & Matthew 2:1-12 

Christmas and peace. How do those two words fit together in your mind? For some, peace at Christmas means getting together with and tolerating family members you dislike. For others, peace is only possible after Christmas, when the pace of ever...

Zechariah has spent nine months in total silence turning his thoughts over and over in his mind till they have blended into this amazing song. And what do the words teach us? That God has come to his people and redeemed them, just as he promise...

Can you imagine Christmas without Christmas carols? Christmas carols are one of the things that make Christmas, Christmas. Songs praising the Saviour’s birth have always been a part of this celebration. Some songs were sung before the Saviour w...

Preacher: Dylan Patruica Passage: 1 Peter 1:13-2:3 

We can’t share the good news of the gospel and leave Jesus dead.  His death is certainly important, because through it we receive forgiveness.  But there is so much more, with the resurrection also central to our faith. The Heidelberg...

Why did God send Jesus, his one and only Son to live as a man? Have you ever asked yourself this question? When we truly begin to grasp the significance of our sin against God, it is natural to wonder what could possibly motivate God to send hi...

When Jesus returns, every knee will bow and tongue confess him as lord as he rules with love, justice, and wisdom. As we wait for that day however, we journey together and persevere by his grace. Paul writes Philippians from his prison cell to ...

Last Sunday we saw that our sin has ruined the world that God gave us to rule.  And what’s even more, our rebellion against God makes us deserving of His righteous judgment. We don’t like this idea of God’s judgment, do we?  Many argu...

Last week we were introduced to God as the good ruler and creator of a good world. We were placed in that good creation to take care of it. So, have you ever wondered why so many things in this life are relentlessly so difficult, so painful, an...

Pastor: Jim De Witte Passage: Genesis 1:1-2:3 Over the next 6 weeks we are going to look at some key points of the Gospel, based around the ‘Two Ways to Live’ tract. And we start with who God is. Why? The basis of the wh...

Pastor: Jim De Witte Passage: Psalm 19 

Christian contentment has been referred to as a ‘rare jewel’. It would be nice to always be content in life, whatever our circumstances. But so often we feel discontent, unsettled, and even envious of others who seem to have more. 1 Timothy cha...
