In this powerful sermon, Pastor Max dives into the truth of God's rest and how it transforms our faith walk. Discover how faith is not merely belief but a deep rest in God’s promises, even amidst life’s challenges. Through the teachings of Hebrews 4, John 16, and Mark 11, Pastor Max explains how to mix the Word of God with faith to overcome obstacles, speak life into our circumstances, and rest assured that God’s word is working for us. By watering our faith daily and thanking God for His promises, we can rest in the assurance that God’s word is at work within us.

In this message, Pastor Connie explores what it means to have persistent, bulldog faith—a faith that refuses to back down, no matter the obstacles. Drawing from the examples of Bartimaeus and the Canaanite Woman, she reminds us that even in the silence, persistence can lead us to victory. This kind of faith helps us overcome discouragement, keeps us focused, and pushes us to endure through life's toughest moments. It’s about having the willpower to control our thoughts, being specific in our prayers, and practicing gratitude even in the middle of challenges. Pastor Connie emphasizes that God isn’t moved by our tears or needs but by a faith that holds on until the miracle comes. Watch the full message to be inspired to develop a faith that won’t let go.

In this powerful sermon, Pastor Connie dives into the story of Lazarus being raised from the dead in John 11:38-45. Jesus' deep compassion for Lazarus and his family highlights how He feels moved by our struggles. But beyond His empathy, He instructs us to take action, urging us to remove the barriers—like unforgiveness, fear, doubt, guilt, and worry—that block His work in our lives. Pastor Connie challenges us to face the "stones" in our lives, to forgive past wounds, and to step out of our "grave clothes" with the support of the community. It’s a call to obedience, to experience true freedom, and to share the joy and strength that comes from living a life transformed by Christ.

In this powerful message, Pastor Max unpacks the story of the Canaanite woman from Matthew 15:21-28, a remarkable account of unwavering faith, persistence, and determination. When faced with silence from Jesus and discouragement from those around her, the Canaanite woman refused to give up. Her relentless faith and humble approach led to a life-changing miracle as her daughter was healed.

Whether you're facing personal challenges or seeking to deepen your faith, this message will inspire you to pursue Jesus with the same tenacity and determination.

Join Pastor Max as he explores the powerful story of Bartimaeus from Luke 18:35-43. Though blind, Bartimaeus recognized Jesus as the "Son of David" and cried out for mercy with relentless faith. His persistence caught Jesus' attention, leading to his healing.

In this sermon, Pastor Max highlights the importance of seeking God's mercy, not signs and wonders, and how faith opens the door to transformation. Learn how to walk in tireless, determined faith like Bartimaeus and experience the power of Jesus' presence in your life.

Success in God’s Kingdom means being faithful. God wants us to be faithful servants who share what Jesus has put inside of us. As you are busy doing God’s work, he will provide for your needs and desires. We have to believe. We have to stand on the Word. We have to have faith. Don’t give up. Tests and trials will come but faithfulness and believing equal success.

This powerful message reminds us that our choices can lead us out of any situation, and while we can't control our circumstances, we can control our responses. The story of the Prodigal Son's return shows the exceptional love and forgiveness of our Heavenly Father. Just as the father in the story saw his son from a distance and ran to him with compassion, God is always watching and waiting for us with open arms. God’s house is a place of joy and celebration when we return to Him.

In this sermon, Pastor Connie reminds us of the importance of unity in the church. The Apostle Paul teaches us to conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ (Phil 1:27-28). We should behave like Christ. When people see you, do they see Christ in you? We are different, but our differences make us unique. The world needs to see our unity even throughout our differences.

When things happen that trouble us, what do we do? In this sermon, Pastor Max explores the importance of setting our minds on things above, as described in Colossians 3:1 (NIV). Feeling troubled does not mean we need to repent, as even Jesus was troubled. Despite the challenges, we are encouraged to trust in God and not let our hearts be troubled or afraid (John 14:1, 27). Our ultimate victory is assured through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57).

See how David made a decision, spoke, used what he had, took action and with God’s help defeated the enemy. David remembered in the past how God helped him defeat the lion and the bear. Decisions, not circumstances determine your future. How you talk to yourself determines your future. You can’t control what others think but you can control what you think. “For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith.” (1 John 5:4 NLT).

In this powerful message, Pastor Max teaches us how we can turn things around in our lives. The Gospel of Mark tells us the story of Jesus healing the woman with a life threatening hemorrhage (Mark 5:25-34). Before she came to Jesus she had spent all her money on doctors who couldn’t help her and she was instead getting worse. This woman decided to turn things around. She made a decision. She went to Jesus. (Mark 5:27) Decide today to turn your life around, by believing in Jesus and in His good plan for your life!

Discover how the words spoken to Joshua by God hold relevance for us today. Pastor Max reminds us the significance of stepping into God's promises and the importance of faith and obedience in claiming our blessings. God told Joshua ‘Whatever you put your foot on I will give you.’ (Joshua 1:3) We have a responsibility to believe God and ask him for things. Don't miss out on this transformative journey towards a life filled with prosperity, success, and a deeper connection with God. Hit play and step into your divine inheritance today!

There’s a lot of hype in the preparation of our Easter celebrations but what happens after Easter? Jesus spent time with His friends after Resurrection, teaching, comforting and directing them. For Christians, after Easter Sunday there is the Resurrection Life. Going through Easter demands a response from us. A Christian life is not a mediocre life - we are blessed because we believe without seeing! Take time to be amazed. Don’t live an ordinary life. People will know that I‘m different because I’ve been with Jesus.

The exciting miracle in John 6 of Jesus feeding the 5,000 shows us that God is a God of abundance and overflow. John 6:12 says they were full and there were left overs. A little bit in God’s hands becomes much: much wisdom, much strength, much will power, much resources. We are to use what we have. It took faith to keep reaching into the basket for more bread and fish. It took hunger to keep it going. As long as they were hungry, the food kept multiplying. Our faith and our hunger make a demand on the power of God. The glory and power is his, the hunger is ours. How hungry are you?

The Apostle Paul said we are to put off the old person and put on the new person created in God’s image. (Ephesians 4:22-24) The early church was a Spirit-filled church and a power-filled church. But they took their gifts out to the world. This is what God wants us to do in our everyday lives. Take the power of Holy Spirit wherever we go: to work, to the grocery store, to school, to our family, to our friends. Put it on and wear this power of God as you go out in the world.

Have you ever felt unworthy before God? God wants you to change the way you think. Christ has made you worthy. You need to go through a revolution in your thinking. Think ‘unlimited potential’ because God has removed your old way of thinking. It is what God says it is. God knows where you live and he knows how to get you where he wants you. The only thing that holds you back is ‘stinking thinking’.

God has put us together UNIQUELY as a church body and given us gifts and talents to help others to grow. When believers are in unity, nothing will be impossible. As believers, we want to do the will of God, in the body where God has placed us. We want to reach the lost and teach/equip the found. And we want to help others just like the good Samaritan.

In this message Pastor Max encourages us to live and to serve with excellence. God has given us special abilities and gifts to do His will and serve one another. God’s gifts come to us by grace but we have to manage them. We need to recognize our gifts and use them for the good of others. Let God’s Word frame what you think and do. Use your unique gift at church, at home and at work for the good of others. And whatever you do, do it with excellence. Let your life brings glory to God.

Acts 2 tells us what the local church should look like: this is the Church that Jesus is building. We call this the Church of Our Dreams.

Come and be a part of it!

God wants His people to expect from Him bigger and higher things and He is making sure our dreams are being fulfilled. It doesn’t happen automatically but is a process that unfolds as we expectantly live out our life for Jesus. Keep on being glad – focus on positive expectations. Don’t let past bad experiences cause you to lose your expectations. Change your focus, be positive. Take every thought captive. It’s hard work to daily expect blessings but God’s promises are for me and I can overcome anything.

When Something Happens, Get Your Victory Back! Join Pastor Max as he uncovers powerful insights from the story of David and his men returning to their devastated hometown. Discover how David's faith reaction led them to victory in the face of adversity. If we do what David did, we can have victory in a difficult situation.

God has planted you as seed in the world. In the storms of life see how to be healthy seed so you can bear fruit to fulfil God’s purpose. You were born for this time.

God is using us to reach this messed up world. Be like Zacchaeus. He overcame obstacles and ran ahead of the crowd to see Jesus. Jesus knew his name and Jesus knows your name and is waiting to help you overcome. Our mission is to love God absolutely and love others sacrificially.

Where does all the evil in the world come from? Learn how The Parable of the Wheat and Tares applies to the world we live in today. When you understand this, you are free from asking ‘why?’. God has planted us as seeds in our world so that we can be co-labourers with God to change the world.

God is calling out a people to get involved with what really counts. Everywhere we go, we need to influence people with righteousness, peace, and joy. Then God will get involved.

God wants us to be joyful, pray continually and give thanks in all circumstances. This is God’s will for us. Thankfulness is an attitude of our hearts. Don’t let anything steal your thankfulness.

September brings in a new season and a new school year. It’s a good time to review where you are spiritually. Spiritual growth is not automatic and not by accident. Don’t let your walk with Christ become a routine. Expect the unexpected. What is your dream? Don’t give up on it.

God has placed eternity in our hearts and made each of us with different abilities. We discover our purpose by identifying our passions. In "How to fulfill your purpose" Pastor Max shows us the steps we need to take to fulfill our purpose. God is pulling you to your future but it's not automatic. If you feel you’re not in the middle of God’s purpose for you, its time to take action.

One important indication of how you can discover your purpose is your passion: what are you passionate about? What do you want to do that you wish you could do all the time? When the way God made you converges with your passion, you touch the eternity that God has placed in your heart (Ecclesiastes. 3:11).

When we receive Jesus in our hearts, we belong to God’s family. We have all the rights and privileges that Jesus has as God’s son. We are joint heirs with Jesus. We don’t just share God’s Kingdom. It belongs to us as much as it belongs to Christ.

Everything in the Kingdom of God works on the sowing seed principle (Mark 4). Different soils have different responses. In this message Pastor Connie enlightens us on how we can be good soil, bear much fruit and expect a great harvest.

In Mark 4, Jesus taught a foundational parable called “The Parable of the Sower”. In it, He describes four kinds of soils, or hearts, that yield four kinds of results. Would you like to get maximum results in every area of your life? Locate what kind of soil your heart is, understand and neutralize hindrances to growth, and learn how to bear fruit to the max.

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦

Our nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles, and our motto is “God will have dominion from sea to sea.” (Psa. 78:2). As we celebrate this beautiful holiday, we remind ourselves that in order for us to live in a free, peaceful and prosperous country, we must pray for it, speak to its people, vote the right values and get involved in its life.

God knew you before the world began and He has a plan and a purpose for you: your purpose was on God’s mind before the beginning. (2 Tim. 1:9) Be aware of who God created you to be and choose to obey to God’s wonderful plan for your life: it’s definitely better that anything you’ll ever be able to imagine.

We come to church with two powerful things: our Bibles, and our traditions. Let’s protect our hearts from the wrong traditions and be filled by the Word of God! We have been made clean by the blood of Jesus.

Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:32-33 how not to worry: “Seek first God’s Kingdom and His righteousness.” When you seek His Kingdom first, you turn your worry into faith.

We’re all different, with different gifts but all necessary. We have to connect with people who are not like us. Sometimes, this takes work: some assembly is required. Our assembly point is Jesus.
 

In Matthew 5:38-42, Jesus talks about an attitude of love that is strong and leads to a victorious lifestyle.

Prayer should not be a dead tradition or a boring duty, but fervent and exciting.Prayer makes tremendous power available to us!

Forgiving people when they hurt us is hard to do. This teaching explains reasons why it’s hard to forgive and helps us to overcome the obstacles to unforgiveness. (Col. 3:12-13)

Today we may look at the world and wonder what is going on?

Jesus was clear that no matter what happens, He said, “Don’t worry about it. Don’t be anxious.  Cheer up.”
 

God is active right now to restore peace to us and give us hope,

but He needs people to cooperate with Him.What does He want from us? He wants us to believe that He is the God of hope.

Ask and it will be given, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened.

God’s grace is provided but we need to show up and take it.

Put God’s word in your heart, where your faith comes from.

Then when you pray you can be fully convinced that you will have what you prayed for

Jesus tells us we can pray for ‘whatever’. This is anything big or small. When you pray, believe that you have received what you’ve asked for.
