Waiting for Christmas | Luke 2:21-38
Waiting on God is one of the most difficult things that we are called to do. In Luke 2, we meet Simeon and Anna who had to wait their entire lives for the arrival of their Messiah. Pastor Ross recounts their story and helps us discover why and how we are to wait for us to see the work that God is doing in our lives.
Connecting the Tower of Babel with Pentecost - Understanding how Jesus reclaimed the nations
The Tower of Babel in Genesis 11 was not just the start of the many languages of the world, it was also where God divided the world into nations, to be ruled by various angels, also known as Watchers. This began the time when God would work through one nation, Israel, that was to be a priestly nation to the world. But through the work of the cross and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the Church on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2, God has ended the division. Nation, race, culture no longer matters, for all can come to be part of God’s people.
Where is the Justice? | Mark 6:14-29
God has called us to be truth-tellers in a world of lies, and that is not always received well. The truth is often met with resistance, anger, and sometimes even retaliation. So what do we do? In Mark's gospel, we read the story of the unjust murder of John the Baptist—killed precisely because he was a truth-teller. Yet we don’t see God leaping into action to avenge him. Where is the justice? Today Pastor Robin explores the grim reality of God’s justice compared to our human understanding of justice. And yet, in that contrast, we discover the surprising freedom that comes from choosing God’s justice instead of our own.
United we Stand, but Divided we Fall | Genesis 11:1-9
The Tower of Babel account is a demonstration of the power of unity, as well as the destructive power of disunity. And that matters for the church today, as we are called to protect our unity in Christ - where our diversity combined with that unity will be directed towards the same common goal - to glorify God.
Don't Be a Nimrod | Genesis 10:8-12
The name 'Nimrod' has gone under a change in meaning over the years. The original Nimrod was a great hunter who wanted to build his own kingdom. But his name has been humbled by God since he invested in the wrong kingdom, his own, instead of the kingdom of God. The question for us today, is are being a Nimrod in our own lives today?
How to Reign in Life | Romans 5:17
Jesus promises us peace, joy, security, freedom, and love… so why do we so rarely experience those things in our day to day life? Romans chapter 5 and verse 17 holds the key. In this sermon, learn how “reigning in life” doesn’t look like what we assume it does. Even better, discover how the things God offers us are much more than we could ask or imagine… and we have the freedom to say YES and accept them.
Living From the Promise Keeper in the In-between | Psalm 89
While we wait for the return of Christ we live in a time of in between. Christ has come to make us new creations, so that He can dwell in us today. And He has promised to return one day soon. But in the meantime, it can be a mean time. Yet we can live in peace as we live from the promises of the great Promise Keeper.

Submission, Intimacy, and Compatibility with Jesus | John 8:31-59
In John chapter 8, verses 31-59, Jesus confronts the Jewish people about their status with God by judging their relationship with God as merely association and an intimate relationship. Because of the cross, Christians have been purchased for an intimate relationship with God but do we access it? Because when we press into an intimate relationship with God - we are behaving in the way we were designed to be. You are discovering your true self. Pastor Robin highlights three questions in this narrative that help us discern association over intimacy if we’re honest with ourselves in answering.
