The Grace of Giving

God wants us to excel in the grace of giving. When we give to Him first he meets all our needs and gives us plenty left over to give others. Generous givers always have more. God gives us seed to sow through the work of our hands using the gifts He has given us.

 

01/14

Give It Your All

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.

01/07

The Church we Dream of

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.

12/03

Don't Stop Expecting

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.

11/26

Take Back Your Victory, Pt. 2

In this teaching, Pastor Max reminds us how to handle our difficulties using the Word of God with skill and grace.

Be perfectly balanced in facing the problem but declaring the way out in faith and learn to encourage yourself in the Lord, just as David did in 1 Samuel 30.

What God said to Joshua He’s also saying to us today. Get ready, you are going somewhere else, move forward. Be strong and courageous. It’s not an option, it’s an order from heaven. If we do what Joshua did, we will get the same results.

 

09/17

Determined Living

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.

 

09/03

How to Fulfill Your Purpose

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.

 

08/27

How to Discover Your Purpose

In part 3 of the “purpose” series, Pastor Max teaches how you can discover your purpose. One important indication 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).

 

08/13

Why pursue purpose

Your skills and interests were designed by God. As you make the effort to please God, he will use you. God wants you to be a passionate pursuer of his purposes for you.

 

08/06

Belonging

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.

07/30

Expect a Great Harvest

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.

07/23

Maximum Results

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.

07/09

Our Firm Foundation - Jesus

In the midst of the pressure of our daily lives, we can overcome because we have a firm foundation. Don’t lose your faith over anything that is coming against you.

He shall have Dominion

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.

06/18

The Father-heart of God

In writing to the Corinthian church, the apostle Paul lists five essential characteristics of a father and a mentor.

Adopting these qualities as a lifestyle, will make us better people and will greatly improve our relationships both at home and at work.

05/28

Eternity in the Heart - Pt. 2

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.

05/21

Eternity in the Heart

Ecclesiastes 3:11 tells us that God has planted eternity in our hearts. Eternity means having an awareness of God.

Get your heart lined up with the heart of God. God is working in your life to take you somewhere.

Every day counts because God is doing something in you and through you to reach others.

God Is Not Angry

Many believe that God is angry and enjoys punishing people for their bad behavior. In reality the Apostle Paul describes a loving God who sent Jesus to pay the price for our sin: Jesus became sin for us and died on the cross. Just receive what Jesus has done.

03/19
