My Big Fat Multinational Wedding

My Big Fat Multinational Wedding

The passage highlights a "great multitude" with voices like rushing waters. In context with the rest of Revelation (such as Revelation 7:9), this bride represents believers redeemed from every nation, tribe, people, and language gathered into one unified family.

Pastor Dale CuckowOctober 11, 2026Revelation 19:6-10
The Danger of False Teachers

The Danger of False Teachers

Scripture warns us that deceivers will try to pull believers away from the absolute truth of Christ. True children of God are marked by a lifestyle of righteousness and genuine love, not by lawlessness or deception. Let us remain steadfast in sound doctrine, guarding our hearts against those who distort the Gospel. May our daily actions prove that we truly belong to Him, abiding in His grace until the end.

Pastor Ian O'ConnellOctober 4, 20261 John 2:18-3:10
Be Careful What You Love

Be Careful What You Love

What we love shapes what we pursue. John reminds us that loving the world and loving God pull our hearts in different directions.

Pastor Ian O'ConnellSeptember 27, 20261 John 2:12-17
The Hope that Fills...A Hope to Satisfy

The Hope that Fills...A Hope to Satisfy

When the world seems to be ruled by fear, pressure, and opposition, it can feel like “the empire strikes back” again and again. Revelation reminds us, however, that evil does not have the final word. Our hope is found in Christ—a hope that fills our hearts and satisfies our deepest need. Revelation 12:11 calls us to overcome through the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. Revelation 13 reminds us that endurance and faithfulness matter when we face opposition. And Revelation 14:6–7

How To Walk In The Light

How To Walk In The Light

A life that walks in the light is a life of truth, fellowship, obedience, and love. John reminds us that God is light, and those who follow Christ are called to leave darkness behind, confess their sins, obey His Word, and love one another. Walking in the light is not about being perfect—it is about living openly before God and allowing Christ to continually transform our lives.

Pastor Ian O'ConnellSeptember 13, 20261 John 1:1-5-2:11
The Truth About Jesus

The Truth About Jesus

In John 1:1–4, the Apostle John unveils the profound truth that Jesus is the eternal Word (Logos) who existed before time began, living in perfect communion with God while being fully God Himself. Through Him, every part of the cosmos was brought into existence, establishing Him as the ultimate divine Creator. Beyond physical creation, Christ is the absolute source of spiritual life, shining as an unfailing light that dispels darkness and brings hope, truth, and purpose to all humanity.

Pastor Ian O'ConnellSeptember 6, 2026John 1:1-4
How Is Your Health?

How Is Your Health?

True health is not only about the condition of our bodies—it also includes the health of our hearts, minds, and spiritual lives. In Philippians 1:9–11, Paul prays that our love may continue to grow in knowledge and depth of insight, helping us discern what is best and live lives that are pure and fruitful for God. Take a moment to examine your spiritual health: Is your love growing? Are you making wise choices? Is your life producing the fruit of righteousness? God desires for us to grow strong—

Pastor Jason KimAugust 30, 2026Philippians 1:9-11
Stay Teachable

Stay Teachable

Being teachable means having a heart that is always willing to learn, grow, and be corrected. Luke 2:52 shows us something remarkable: Jesus grew. He grew in wisdom, in physical maturity, and in His relationships with God and people.

Pastor Dale CuckowAugust 23, 2026Luke 2:52
The Attraction of Jesus: Merciful King, Jesus' Way, Not Ours

The Attraction of Jesus: Merciful King, Jesus' Way, Not Ours

Jesus is attractive not because He rules with the kind of power the world understands, but because He is a merciful King. In Matthew 18:21–35, Peter asks how many times he should forgive someone who sins against him. Jesus answers—not with a small number, but with a call to forgive without keeping score.

Pastor Ian O'ConnellAugust 16, 2026Matthew 18:21-35
