SUNDAY'S sermon

Sunday, November 30







Sunday, December 7, 2026, 2025

 

This sermon explores how God meets us in seasons of waiting and wilderness through the biblical stories of Hannah and Elizabeth, two women who endured long years of sorrow, silence, and unfulfilled longing. Drawing from 1 Samuel and Luke, it reflects on how God does His most formative work not after the waiting ends, but in the very heart of it. The message reminds us that no prayer is wasted, no wilderness is final, and God’s faithfulness is never limited by time or circumstance. As a church entering a new season together, we are invited to trust that God is at work even now—shaping us, sustaining us, and preparing new life to emerge. 



Sermon: “Waiting in the Wilderness: Hannah and Elizabeth”


Scripture Readings: 1 Samuel 1: 1-20    Luke 1: 1-25

The wilderness of waiting

This Advent, our worship and teaching will center on the theme of Waiting—honoring both the anticipation of Jesus’ first arrival and the faithful longing for His return. Each week we will explore moments of waiting from Zechariah and Elizabeth’s long-awaited hope, to Mary and Joseph’s quiet trust, to Simeon’s patient expectation for the “consolation of Israel”.


This series invites us to reflect on how waiting is woven into the story of Christ’s coming and how we too, are called to be people who wait with hope.

gentle and lowly

september 14, 2025 - march 22, 2026

Christians can easily feel that Jesus is perpetually disappointed and frustrated, maybe even close to giving up on them. They know what Christ has done for them—but who is He? How does He feel about His people amid all their sins and failures?


In Matthew 11, Jesus describes himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” longing for his people to find rest in him. This book reflects on His words, diving deep into Bible passages that speak of Christ’s affections for sinners and encouraging believers as they journey, weary and faltering, toward heaven.


Join us as we take a closer look at the heart of Jesus - gentle, lowly, and full of grace.

Global displacement and refugee crisis with myal Greene

conversing with mark labberton

“More of the church is committed to their immigrant neighbours than the media or politicians would like the public to believe.” (Myal Green, from the episode) 


Myal Greene (president and CEO of World Relief) joins host Mark Labberton to discuss the global humanitarian crises, refugee resettlement, and the church’s responsibility to respond with courage and compassion. From Rwanda's post-genocide reconciliation following 1994 to the 2025 dismantling of humanitarian aid and refugee programs in the US, Greene shares how his personal faith journey fuels his leadership amid historic humanitarian upheaval. Rooted in Scripture and the global moral witness of the church, Greene challenges listeners to imagine a more faithful Christian response to suffering—one that refuses to turn away from the world’s most vulnerable. Despite the current political polarization and rising fragility of moral consensus, Greene calls on the church to step into its biblical role: speaking truth to power, welcoming the stranger, standing with the oppressed, and embodying the love of Christ in tangible, courageous ways.
