"All Creatures of Our God and King"

This message explores the universal human search for meaning and purpose, drawing parallels between the ancient Athenians' religious quest and modern society's pursuit of fulfillment. While everyone worships something, not all objects of worship are worthy. Our one true God is not distant but intimately close, and Jesus Christ has already proven God's love and presence through His incarnation, death, and resurrection.

"Love Divine, All Loves Excelling"

This Pentecost Sunday sermon explores the theme of overcoming the fear of death through faith in Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. Understanding our mortality can lead to different life choices, but ultimately, true freedom comes from embracing God's love and the promise of eternal life. The message weaves together personal experiences, biblical teachings, and the lyrics of Charles Wesley's hymn "Love Divine, All Loves Excelling" to illustrate how the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—works to transform believers and free them from the bondage of sin and fear of death.

"Praise to the Lord, the Almighty"

This sermon explores the importance of worship as preparation for eternal life with God. It emphasizes that our earthly worship reflects and anticipates the continuous praise occurring in heaven. Pastor Andrew discusses the need to prioritize our lives according to God's truth, guided by the Holy Spirit, and how our current worship practices are a reflection of heavenly worship described in Revelation. The sermon also highlights the significance of hymns, particularly "Praise to the Lord, the Almighty," in expressing adoration for God's nature beyond just His actions.

"God's Presence is Enough"

Are we ever truly satisfied? This message challenges us to examine our deepest hungers and the endless pursuit of 'more.' It invites us to consider a radical alternative: true satisfaction found in intimacy with God. The story of Moses and his encounter with God at the Tent of Meeting serves as a profound illustration of this intimacy. We're encouraged to see that this deep friendship with the Divine isn't reserved for biblical figures but is available to all of us through Christ.

"Every Step of the Way"

As we journey through life's transitions, we're reminded of the wisdom found in the story of the Exodus. The Israelites carried Joseph's bones and followed God's pillar of cloud and fire, symbolizing the delicate balance between honoring our past and embracing God's guidance for our future. Like them, we're called to remember our identity in Christ while allowing the Holy Spirit to chart our course. This message challenges us to consider: Are we carrying our spiritual 'bones' – the values and faith that ground us? Are we also open to the Holy Spirit's leading, ready to unfurl our sails and venture where God calls?
