    Don't Just Sing It, Live It: Sermon by Pastor Colin McCartney

    What if worship is more than the songs we sing on Sunday? Part 1 of Pastor Colin McCartney's new series, Worship: More Than A Song. From Romans 12:1–2, he shows that true worship is a response to God's endless mercies: offering our whole lives to God, our hands, feet, work, homes and relationships, not just our voices. And because we can't transform ourselves, he introduces the PEACE Rule of Life (Pray, Eat, Act, Celebrate, Expect), a trellis of everyday practices that opens us to the Spirit's transforming work. Scripture: Romans 12:1–2; Lamentations 3:22–23 0:00 The pastor who doesn't like worship? 1:01 Who stole the drums? 4:01 Romans 12: your true and proper worship 4:38 What worship music really does 6:40 In view of God's mercy 9:00 Mercies, plural 10:20 Swimming in mercy 12:17 Mercy asks no questions 15:43 What mercy looks like 16:44 Offer your bodies 19:04 Be transformed 20:51 A rule of life 21:24 The trellis 22:51 The PEACE rule of life 26:33 Real worship is everyday life 29:22 Closing prayer 30:17 Worship that loves people Subscribe for more messages on faith, peace, justice, and the way of Jesus.

    Forgive Us Our Debts: Sermon by Pastor Colin McCartney

    What does it really mean to pray, “Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors”? Pastor Colin continues the series on The Lord’s Prayer with one of its hardest lines. Why does Matthew describe sin as a debt—and what happens when we carry a ledger of everyone who owes us? Setting denial and retribution against the way of forgiveness, he walks through practical steps to forgive: starting from God’s forgiveness for us, naming the sin, confronting it with grace, separating forgiveness from repentance, and letting go. Scripture: Matthew 6:12 0:00 A story of radical forgiveness 1:56 Forgive us our debts 6:36 The sin ledger 9:50 Forgiveness isn't denial 11:51 Truth and reconciliation 14:24 Retribution and its fruit 18:47 How do we forgive? 20:37 The fruit of forgiveness 21:54 Steps toward forgiveness 30:44 Joseph: forgive, but be wise 34:03 Letting go 36:43 Closing prayer Subscribe for more messages on faith, peace, justice, and the way of Jesus.

    Lead Us Not Into Temptation: Sermon by Pastor Colin McCartney

    What does it really mean to pray, “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one”? Pastor Colin reaches the final line of The Lord’s Prayer with a simple warning: don’t be a hero. Through the Hawaiian shore break that broke his neck and three moments from the life of Peter, he shows how we overestimate our strength and underestimate our weakness—and why this prayer is a humble cry for God to watch over us and deliver us. Scripture: Matthew 6:13 0:00 Opening prayer 0:50 Reviewing the Lord's Prayer 5:23 Lead us not into temptation 7:12 Don't be a hero 13:24 Everyday temptations 17:25 The Lord's Prayer as discipleship 18:15 The weakness of Peter 25:03 Watch and pray 28:08 The threefold presence of temptation 31:39 The pattern of the fall 33:15 Practice for the week 36:08 Closing prayer Subscribe for more messages on faith, peace, justice, and the way of Jesus.

    Our Daily Bread: Sermon by Pastor Colin McCartney

    What does it really mean to pray, “Give us today our daily bread”? Pastor Colin continues the series on The Lord’s Prayer by asking a simple question: does the Lord really provide? Through stories from a lifetime of ministry and the name Jehovah Jireh (“the God who sees”), he shows that God sees our needs before He meets them, calls us to trust Him one day at a time, and reminds us that because it is our daily bread, we are called to share our loaves with others. Scripture: Matthew 6:11 0:00 Does the Lord really provide? 1:29 A missionary's story 8:35 Abba: God our Father 11:20 Jehovah Jireh: the God who sees 19:26 See, know, care, provide 23:56 Don't worry (Matthew 6) 25:47 Sleeping with bread 27:37 Manna in the desert 33:17 Daily bread is a justice issue 36:36 To know God is to be generous 41:54 Practice for the week 42:36 Closing prayer Subscribe for more messages on faith, peace, justice, and the way of Jesus.

    Yours Is the Kingdom; Who Gets the Last Word? Sermon by Pastor Colin McCartney

    Why does the church end The Lord’s Prayer with “For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever”? In the final message of the series, Pastor Colin climbs the whole prayer again as a stairway of discipleship—from “Our Father” to “Yours”—drawing on the early church’s Didache, the Apostle Paul’s growing humility, and the doxology the early church added so that evil would never get the last word. Scripture: Matthew 6:9–13; 1 Chronicles 29:11 0:00 One more message 1:00 More than a prayer 4:23 The Didache 8:42 A stairway to heaven 10:28 Our Father 14:35 Hallowed be your name 17:05 Your kingdom come, your will be done 19:16 Our daily bread 24:17 Forgive us our debts 26:26 Lead us not into temptation 28:01 Paul's path to humility 31:29 The doxology 35:56 A prayer of open hands 39:09 Four questions 40:28 Closing prayer Subscribe for more messages on faith, peace, justice, and the way of Jesus.

    Hallowed Be Your Name: Sermon by Pastor Colin McCartney

    What does it really mean to pray, “Hallowed be Your name”?Pastor Colin continues the series on the Lord’s Prayer by exploring the power of God’s name and what our lives communicate about His character.
