    Sermon Title: “An Unfaithful heart” - Hosea 5:13-15, 6:1-6 NLT
    Jun 6 2026
    Hosea was a prophet in the northern kingdom of Israel during the 8th century BC. He was the last great prophet that God sent to the northern Kingdom of Israel before they were destroyed and exiled by Assyria. In chapter 5 we hear a tone of exasperation and desperation. Even God seems to look at humankind and ask Himself, "What shall I do with you, O Ephraim? Your love for me is as short-lived as the dew on the morning grass. God is saying: You refuse to acknowledge your sin and do not come to me for forgiveness. You make a pretense of having religion by offering sacrifices. All I want is steadfast love and knowledge of me.

  • A religion that Sings – Psalm 8

    A religion that Sings – Psalm 8
    May 28 2026
    The psalm is a hymn of praise that reflects on the grandeur of creation and the insignificance of humanity in comparison to God's glory. The greatness of God assures the worth of mankind. God, the all -powerful Creator, cares for his most valuable creation: people, Us! People in the Old Testament, worshipped the Lord in an open field, surrounded by nature, with birds singing, during the warm breeze of the day. There are times and occasions when a religious person must shout hallelujah. No question about it, the religion of the psalmist who wrote Psalm 8 is a religion that sings.

  • God’s Creation - Psalm 104:24-35 and Acts 2

    God’s Creation - Psalm 104:24-35 and Acts 2
    May 22 2026
    The word “Pentecost” comes from a Greek word meaning “fiftieth.” It appeared first during a Jewish festival called the Feast of Weeks, or Shavuot. Pentecost is often called the “birthday of the Christian Church.” Before this day, Jesus’ followers were hiding, scared after Jesus’ crucifixion. As they were gathered and prayed, on the day of Pentecost, “Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven. Friends, this shows how God used powerful signs—wind and fire—to show that something big was happening.

  • Stand firm and strong in your Faith! - 1 Peter 4:12-14, 5:6-11

    Stand firm and strong in your Faith! - 1 Peter 4:12-14, 5:6-11
    May 16 2026
    The new Christians Peter wrote to had been surprised by having to face persecution for their faith. These Christians Peter wrote to were Gentiles and they were shocked, because they became Christians just in time to be persecuted. Into this Peter breaks the news that persecution is ordinary for Christians. Jesus said that if they persecuted him, they'll persecute his followers. Peter knew he needed to admonish; he needed to encourage that even in suffering they should keep firm in their faith in the Lord God. Peter felt he needed to encourage those of the new early church, he needed to encourage Christians, he needed to encourage us.

    Stay Humble, with a good Attitude - 1 Peter 3:13-22

    Stay Humble, with a good Attitude”. Try it. Keep your composure, avoid engaging in emotional reactions. In your day-to-day actions, avoid conflict and remain unimpressed by the intimidation tactics others might bring against you, and be aware of any insecurities that could affect you. All this, if you actually implement it, will help you to approach life’s challenges.

  • Lord Jesus, receive my spirit - 1 Peter 2:1-10

    Lord Jesus, receive my spirit - 1 Peter 2:1-10
    May 1 2026
    “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit”. These were the last words of the apostle Stephen just before he died. In ancient times, many middle eastern religions employed rock piles as altars, but none as prolific as the Semitic faiths. Homes and Jewish gathering spaces built in Capernaum too, were made of small blackish stones of basalt. We are God-made, not crafted by human hand, but designed by our World-Maker God and blessed by His holy touch. In this, we are transfigured from mere stone into Living Stones of God, able to be altars, ladders, and bridges to God from anywhere in the world, for everyone in the world.

  • Christian behavior while we walk this world – 1 Peter 2:18-25

    Christian behavior while we walk this world – 1 Peter 2:18-25
    Apr 23 2026
    Today I’d like to take you with me to look at a 4th admonition and that is looking at Christian behavior while we walk this world as temporary sojourners in this world. I know many of you have family members who don’t know Jesus yet, and if you’re honest, it sits heavy on your heart. I want to speak into that place right now and bring you peace. Because their salvation is not resting on your shoulders. It never was. Jesus already paid for them. The cross included them. Every sin, every mistake, every moment that feels like it’s keeping them far has already been dealt with. Which means Jesus does not desire half-hearted discipleship. Following Jesus must be all or nothing. He wants us to be all in. Not 50 %, not 95%, but 100 percent. He desires all there is of us. Body and soul. Heart and mind.

  • Your New Life will last forever - 1 Peter 1:17-23

    Your New Life will last forever - 1 Peter 1:17-23
    Apr 17 2026
    Peter told us, we are to be set apart, for we are different, not blending in with the crowd, yet we’re not to be different just for the sake of being different. God’s qualities in our lives makes us different. We must admit that we all desperately need the gift of holiness, a holiness that we cannot manufacture or attain for ourselves. We cannot become holy on our own, but God has given us his Holy Spirit to help us obey and He gives us power to overcome sin. At the same time, we should fear His discipline and therefore seek to live our lives in a way that pleases Him. Reverence ought to be evident in the way believers conduct themselves in God's presence. After all we are all sojourners on this world, wanderers, visiting for a short time on our way to God’s eternal kingdom.
