When Jesus Builds His Church – There Is True Humility (Audio)

When Jesus said, “I will build my church”, did he have a design in mind? Jesus called his followers to follow him, to love one another, and to make disciples, but he didn’t call us to build his church for him. Apparently, that is what He was do himself! Today is the first week of a series of sermons titled, “When Jesus builds his church”. Today’s theme is, “When Jesus builds his church – there is true humility.”

Pastor Michael Dutschke

Bible Readings: Matthew 16:13-15 (NLT) and Acts 2:14a, 36-41 (NLT)

With all your Heart, Soul and Strength (Video)

A message from Pastor Stephen Abraham.

Every morning and evening for a few thousand years, God's people of old have said the words of Deuteronomy 6:4–9. They are a prayer, a creed and a meditation all wrapped up in a few verses called "The Shema" (Hebrew for "listen/act upon"). These are words that Jesus himself grew up reciting - and then quoting in his interaction with the Jewish teacher in Mark 12:28-30. On Sunday, I want to share with you the Shema, Jesus’ addition to it, and a way to meditate on it day and night.

Bringing the Majesty of God down to earth (Audio)

“Bringing the majesty of God down to earth” will explore how God can seem distant and out of reach (and how we can contribute to that) but how he is revealed in ‘down to earth’ ways.
