Why should our church participate in the Lord’s work globally? There are a number of reasons; For the Glory of God, because Hell is real and people need to hear the Gospel, and because the love of God should compel us. But the church should also participate in global missions because it is a privilege to do so. Listen as Pastor Paul McDonald walks us through these verses.

Passage: Luke 24:, Acts 1
Series: Standalone
Our culture is more interested than ever before in answering questions about what strong leadership looks like. The opportunity Christians have is to show people that authority – rightly used – builds up, protects the weak, and brings stability and joy to those under its charge. Without godly leadership, authority will only lead to abuse, oppression, and harm. Listen as Pastor Josh teaches on righteous and wicked authority from Proverbs 28-29.
Speaker: Pastor Josh Tong
Passage: Proverbs 28-29
Series: New Year
What does the Bible say about authority? In a culture that emphasizes authority as an evil to be resisted, the Bible says that it is a gift to be celebrated. It is embedded into every part of the fabric of creation for the glory of God and the flourishing of humanity. At the same time, the Bible also recognizes that authority can be abused and cause much harm to many. Listen as Pastor Josh teaches on what Proverbs says about some of the differences between good and bad authority.

Passage: Proverbs 28-29
Series: New Year
Our lives are determined by what we believe. Our beliefs inform how we use our time, what decisions we make, and what our values will be. They also inform our understanding of who God is and what place He has in our lives. But have we ever stopped to consider whether those beliefs are true? Genesis 3 tells us that it didn’t take long for humanity to be deceived into believing false things about God. These lies have misled people for millennia and caused untold hardship and suffering. Christmas addresses those lies head on and reveals to us a God who is generous, just, and perfectly pure in His love. Listen as Pastor Josh explains.

How does the Bible define true greatness? The world defines it in terms of the scope of a person’s impact on the world. A “great” person is one who will be remembered. In contrast, Jesus says that greatness is found in the humble service of others, especially the least of those who are among us. Listen as Pastor Josh explains the difference this makes to the life of the church and the transfer of the gospel to the next generation.
