Current Series

Worship with us on Sundays at 9:45 AM

— Current message series with Pastor John Munro

The apostle Peter writes to followers of Christ who are scattered and persecuted because of their faith. He exhorts them to stand firm in the grace of God and to remember the coming glory.

In our world of suffering and increasing hostility to Christ-followers, Pastor Munro challenges us to live holy and humble lives and to follow the perfect example of our Lord Jesus Christ, who suffered for us.

Join us on Sunday mornings for this challenging and encouraging series on 1 Peter.

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you" — 1 Peter 1:3–4

Listen again to Pastor Munro’s 10-message series on the book of Jeremiah.

God called the prophet Jeremiah to proclaim a message of judgment to the people of Judah unless they repented of their idolatry and apostasy. Jeremiah witnessed the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple by the Babylonians.

Just as ancient Judah forsook God, so our nation is rejecting God. How are we then to live in such a pagan culture?

What does this Old Testament book teach us today? In addition to warnings, we will find that it is possible to stand true to God’s Word and trust that our God is one of mercy, compassion, and restoration.

Pride. Envy. Anger. Sloth. Gluttony. Greed. Lust.

In past generations, sin was prominent in people’s thinking, religion, and society. But things have changed… Now sin seems like an old-fashioned, judgmental term that should be discarded. However, as we look at our world (and our hearts!), doesn’t something seem broken? If human beings are basically good and improving, why is there still so much hurt, violence, conflict, and abuse?

Scripture makes it very clear that sin is our great problem. And that all sin, not just these so-called deadly sins, leads to death.

The more we understand sin in our own hearts and lives, the more we will embrace the matchless grace and forgiveness of Jesus Christ. Come and invite others!

“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23).

Listen again to sermons in our Media Library:

seven deadly sins

Life can be difficult, unpredictable, and even frightening. Each day brings its own challenges and struggles. They threaten to defeat us, discourage us, and embitter us. Everyone, including followers of Jesus Christ, may feel overwhelmed. What are we supposed to do? How are we meant to handle all that life brings?

In this updated edition, Pastor Munro presents biblical encouragement to equip you for life's challenges. He offers scriptural perspective on questions including:

"Why does trusting God really matter?"
"How can I overcome my fears and anxieties?"
"How can I deal with grief?"

"Our society is riddled with turmoil, uncertainty, chaos, and insecurity at all levels. But it is at this point that the brilliance of the Christian Gospel shines."

Pastor Munro has written a booklet titled Eternal Security: Finding Certainty in a Chaotic World. 

Be encouraged by his personal testimony and exploration of Scripture as he discusses why followers of Jesus Christ can be assured of their salvation and better understand the implications of salvation by grace.

• Can I lose my salvation?
• What happens if I commit some serious sin or embrace some doctrinal error?
• Isn't salvation just the forgiveness of sins? 
• What more is there to understand?
