On a weekly basis our ministers deliver sermons based in God’s Word that seek to encourage, challenge, and edify the church. Check out the Waterview livestream to watch our services as they happen.
Seven words! It's amazing how overlooked these seven words have been, yet they are bursting forth with so much power and possibility. In part two of this lesson, we continue to look at Paul's great description of what the Christian life really is.
The church at Corinth had many problems. Much of the first epistle addresses those problems and offers solutions. But in the context of correcting some issues about using spiritual gifts, Paul breaks out in 1 Cor. 13 with one of the greatest chapters in the Bible. Love is what makes Christianity different and Paul explains how it keeps us grounded, helps us live out who God is and how it will continue on, eternally.
The seven words at the end of Colossians 1:27 have been called a perfect statement of the Gospel. Yet, for all the lofty descriptions some have given to them perhaps you've struggled to understand what those seven words mean. To get a better understanding of these seven words is to better understand what the Christian life is.
We live in challenging and changing times. Often we are left feeling unsettled and uncertain, like a ship in a storm being tossed to and fro. But God has a remedy called "hope."
The only constant in our world today is change! Not all change is bad, but at times it leads to uncertainty, doubt and hopelessness. Yet, this is not how God wants his people to live. If you are drifting the thing you need most is an anchor! That's what God offers - a hope that is a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul. In this lesson, we explore this hope in Heb. 6:17-20.
If you had been living in Jerusalem in 586 BC, you would have witnessed the worst tragedy of your life.
As we've turned the page to 2021, many people feel hopeful this year will be better than the last.
Mary is one of the most interesting and controversial characters in the Bible. Her importance is often overemphasized and, as a result, we may sometimes underemphasize her importance. In the narrative of the birth of Jesus, she has an encounter with Gabriel that reminds us how God used her as an instrument.
We enter the final week of 2020 and we look back at a difficult year. What would a wise man tell us about planning for a new year?
Have you ever been a part of something that you felt was bigger than you? I can only imagine that is exactly how Joseph must have felt when an angel appeared to him in a dream and explained his life was about to change (Matt. 1:18-25). Ironically, the angel challenged him to be a part of a story that would change the world! In this story, Joseph serves as a great example of how God will challenge us too.
