    Resurrection Sunday Service - Can You Believe It? - April 5 2026

    We live in a world that prizes proof. If something cannot be tested, measured, or verified, we tend to hold it at arm’s length. That instinct can be helpful in many areas of life, but it also shapes how we approach deeper questions, especially when it comes to faith. Many people are not openly hostile to Jesus, but they are cautious. They want more evidence. They want fewer uncertainties. They wonder if belief is really reasonable or simply wishful thinking. At the same time, there are others who speak easily about belief, but their confidence may rest on habit, tradition, or second-hand experience rather than a personal encounter with the truth. So we find ourselves caught between two tensions: the hesitation of skepticism and the shallowness of untested belief. The question before us is not whether doubt exists, but what we do with it. Does skepticism close us off, or can it become a pathway that leads us to something solid and lasting? And what does it actually mean to believe in Jesus in a way that is real, grounded, and life-changing? We need to wrestle with a simple but searching question: can you believe it? Scripture: John 20:24-31 Speaker: Pastor David Hallett

    Good Friday Service - Why Did Jesus Have To Die? - April 3 2026

    People often ask, "Why couldn't God just forgive sin?" Why the cross? Why death? Why such suffering? The Bible's answer is not sentimental, but it is powerful: Jesus did not die by accident. He died by necessity. Scripture: Isaiah 53:4-6; Romans 3:23-26; 1 Peter 3:18Speaker: Pastor David Hallett

    Jesus Changes Water into Wine - March 29 2026

    Jesus’ first miracle in John 2:1–11 took place at a wedding in Cana of Galilee, where He turned water into wine. This moment revealed His glory and led His disciples to believe in Him. The setting itself is meaningful: His first sign happened at a wedding, underscoring the value of marriage, family, and the relationship between Christ and His church. Scripture begins with a wedding and ultimately points to a final wedding, reflecting God’s redemptive plan from beginning to end. Even when life feels empty—when “the wine runs out”—there is hope, because God restores and provides. Mary’s instruction, “Do whatever He tells you,” highlights a simple but profound principle: faith expressed through obedience opens the door to experiencing God’s work. Rather than trying to control outcomes, believers are called to submit to God’s will. The servants at the wedding filled the jars completely and followed Jesus’ instructions without hesitation, demonstrating wholehearted obedience. Their actions preceded the miracle; the water became wine as they faithfully did what He asked. This transformation illustrates what happens when people fully follow Christ. It is not merely knowledge about God that leads to change, but active obedience. When Jesus’ commands are followed, restoration, healing, and unexpected blessings often emerge—reminders that God is able to bring something better than what came before, saving “the best till now.” Scripture: John 2:1-11 Guest Speaker: Ming-Peng Gong

    Samson: The Saviour No One Asked For - March 22 2026

    Israel is in a familiar and tragic place in Judges 13. Once again, the people have done what is evil in the sight of the Lord. Yet something is different this time. There is no cry for help, no plea for mercy, no sign of repentance. God’s people are suffering under oppression, but they have grown comfortable in their sin and silent in their distress. And yet, God moves toward them anyway. Into this spiritual apathy, God announces the birth of a deliverer. Samson is not requested, not expected, and certainly not deserved. He is, in every sense, the saviour no one asked for. His arrival reminds us that God’s faithfulness does not depend on our faithfulness. He is committed to saving His people, even when they are indifferent to Him. But Samson’s story also leaves us longing. His flawed life and partial victories point beyond himself to a greater Deliverer. Where Samson would struggle and fail, Jesus Christ comes as the perfect Saviour. He is the true Deliverer we did not seek, yet desperately need, who saves His people not merely from oppression, but from their sins.

    Jephthah: The Manipulative Negotiator - March 15 2026

    In moments of crisis, people often turn to negotiation. When trouble comes, we begin to bargain. “God, if You will help me out of this situation, then I will do this for You.” It is a very human instinct. We try to strike a deal with God, as though His mercy could be earned or His help secured by our promises. That instinct lies near the heart of the story before us in Book of Judges 10:6–12:7. Israel had again turned away from the Lord, chasing the gods of the nations around them. Their suffering was not accidental. It was the just consequence of their rebellion. Yet in remarkable patience and compassion, God was still willing to rescue His undeserving people. Into that desperate moment steps Jephthah. He is a capable warrior and a shrewd negotiator, but he is also deeply flawed. His story is filled with bargaining, manipulation, and tragic consequences. Jephthah shows us what happens when we approach God with the instincts of the world rather than the trust of faith. Yet even through this broken deliverer, God still shows mercy to His people. And Jephthah’s limitations point us forward to a far greater Deliverer, Jesus Christ, who does not bargain for our salvation but freely gives Himself to accomplish it.

    Abominable Abimelech - March 8 2026

    Power can be a dangerous thing in the hands of the wrong person. When leadership becomes driven by ambition, insecurity, or selfish desire, it quickly turns destructive. History repeatedly shows that when leaders pursue their own glory rather than the good of the people they serve, communities suffer. Sadly, the same danger can appear among the people of God. Leadership that should protect and guide can instead manipulate, divide, and harm. Judges 9 tells one of the darkest stories in the book of Judges. Abimelech seizes power through violence, eliminating his own brothers in order to crown himself king. His rule is built on treachery and sustained by fear. Yet as the chapter unfolds, we see that wicked leadership never stands securely for long. God is not indifferent to injustice. Even when His people suffer under corrupt power, He remains both their defender and the righteous judge who eventually brings evil to account. At the same time, the story warns us about the danger of selfish leadership that seeks position rather than service. God’s people need leaders who reflect His character, not their own ambition. Ultimately, the failures of Abimelech point us to our need for a very different King, Jesus Christ. Unlike Abimelech, Jesus did not seize power by destroying others; He gave His life to save them.

    Prayer and Praise Sunday: Praying for Power and Love - March 1 2026

    In a world where our prayers often shrink to the size of our problems, the apostle Paul stretches them to the size of God. In Ephesians 3:14–21, we overhear a prayer that refuses to settle for surface change. Paul is not content with improved circumstances, better moods, or minor adjustments in behavior. He prays for something far deeper—power in the inner being and love that surpasses knowledge. That has massive implications for us. It means that Christian maturity is not mainly about managing life more efficiently; it is about being strengthened by God Himself. It means that love is not merely a virtue we attempt, but a reality God must root and ground within us. It means our prayers should not be timid requests for survival, but bold appeals for transformation. Paul’s prayer teaches us to ask for what only God can do. To pray for power that changes hearts. To pray for love that stretches beyond comfort zones. To pray with confidence that God is able to do far more abundantly than all we ask or imagine. If this is how Paul prays, then perhaps we have been praying too small. Scripture: Ephesians 3:14-21 Speaker: Pastor David Hallett

    The Desire for More: The Endless Pursuit - February 22 2026

    The pursuit of “more” can quietly entrap the heart, convincing us that just a little extra—money, success, status—will finally bring peace. Yet Scripture reminds us that “godliness with contentment is great gain.” True contentment is not having everything we want, but trusting the hands shaping our lives and resting in the peace we already have with God through Christ. The message contrasts the false promise of riches with the greater treasure found in pursuing righteousness, faith, love, and godliness. Greed is more than loving money—it is asking money to provide what only God can give. Instead of striving harder for satisfaction, believers are called to replace false treasures with the lasting hope rooted in God’s love. Through reflection, prayer, and even practical steps like examining our budgets, this sermon challenges us to consider where our hearts are anchored and invites us to pursue contentment grounded in Christ alone. Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:6-11 Guest Speaker: Nick Heusterberg
