For your good
From just about the very beginning, the human race seems to have an allergy to doing what is for its good. This is never truer than in the second week of January when the first batch of people decide to give up on their new year’s resolutions. We shouldn’t be surprised by this because we’re […]

Advent 2025
It is so hard to believe that we are already coming up to the first Sunday of Advent. During this season we marvel together at the Incarnation, the miracle of the Word of God made flesh and dwelling among us. Over the coming weeks, we will be studying John 1:1-5 in our Sunday morning services, […]
Loved that we might live
