Have you ever noticed how often we find God starting conversations in the Bible? It was God who called to Adam and Eve while they were hiding, God who spoke to Abraham, God who called to Moses from a burning bush, God who woke Samuel late at night, God who whispered to Elijah when he...

John 4:10-14 “Conversation”
Over the last year or so you have heard me often ask the question, “Why are we having arguments when we should be having conversations?” Arguments are battles of will, they are competitions of right and wrong, they are an effort to prove ourselves, our point or our positions while conversations are a determined exercise...
John 4:4-10 “Encounter, Conversation, Culture”
As you may have already figured out from the last month or so of hearing me preach, this passage of Scripture fascinates me. I’ve preached from it many times before but this is the first time I’ve had the opportunity to slowly go through it, not just verse by verse but word by word and...
John 4:4-9 “Tired or Weary?”
A few weeks ago, when we started looking at this passage we discussed the meaning of John’s statement that Jesus “needed to go through Samaria”. Jesus made it very clear that His life, the life He lived here on earth was lived in complete surrender to His Father in heaven. In John 5:19 He said...
Ezequias Lamarche: Ephesians 1:16-23 “Breaking Spatial Divides”
This week our speaker was our worship leader, Ezequias Lamarche. In our walk with the Lord, many things cloud our thinking. Mental and physical blocks clutter our Spiritual cognition. For this reason we must remember Hebrews 12:1 The Race of Faith “12 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of...
Guest Speaker: Joanne DiLeo Genesis 22:1-14 “Laying Down the Promise”
This week we had the great joy of having our friend Joanne DiLeo as our guest speaker! For many of us, this is a very familiar passage. Over the years, this passage has both drawn me in and terrified me. Since January, I’ve been wrestling on and off with this passage and I believe strongly...
John 4:1-4 “Difficult People and Difficult Places”
You can learn a lot about who someone is by watching how they interact with others. The Gospel of John is largely the revelation of Jesus’ identity and character through the stories of His interaction with the people around Him. While Matthew, Mark and Luke tell the story of Jesus in hopes that the events...
John 3:31-36 “The Mixture of Heaven and Earth”
Clarity is a constant issue for us. We strive to have clear minds, clear views and clear understanding. We are all vying for a clear path, the absence of obstacles, the opportunity to clearly see what lies ahead of us and how we should go about getting to where we desire to be. The problem...
John 3:27-30 “The Joy of Decrease”
I’ve shared with you many times that one of my favorite things to do is to take a familiar passage of Scripture and invest the time to look at it closely and carefully asking God not to show us something new but to show us something more. We all tend to move quickly through things...
Melissa Kulynych: 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 “Grace and Grief”
This morning our worship pastor, Melissa Kulynych, was our speaker. Below is an introduction to her sermon and the audio recording. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 says, “And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Therefore, most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that...
