In this profound sermon by Pastor Robin, we delve into the challenging concept of reconciling our expectations of God with His divine plan. Drawing from the life of Jesus and the experiences of his disciples, Pastor Robin invites us to contemplate a crucial question: Will we follow a God who doesn't always meet our expectations? Through a raw exploration of moments in Jesus's ministry where his actions may have seemed like failures, Pastor Robin encourages us to trust in the grander scale of God's plan, even when it challenges our finite understanding. Join us as we journey through Luke 24, verses 13-35 and discover how Jesus, as the humble king of hopeless hearts, reveals His character in the midst of our disappointments.

Catholics and Protestants have been arguing for centuries over what the Apostles James and Paul meant when they referenced the righteousness of Abraham. Was he made righteous by faith alone?

Paul tells Timothy to fight the good fight of faith. What does that mean?

The story of Ishmael and Isaac is more than just a tale of one brother jealous of the other. It is a portrayal of Law vs Grace. Of Flesh vs Spirit. Of self-dependence vs Christ-dependent. Of death vs life. Using the Apostle Paul’s explanation in Galatians chapter 4, Pastor Ross explains what it means to live by the Spirit and not under the Law.

The story of Abraham and Abimelech feels like deja-vu from his journey into Egypt. Twenty-five years later, Abraham lies about his relationship with Sarah to protect himself out of a greater fear of Abimelech than his fear of God. But it is much more than a story of Abraham's failure. It is a story of God's grace and redemption of this righteous man.

The story of Sodom and Gomorrah is an important and unforgettable one. And that is by God's design and intent because it was meant to be an eternal warning to everyone about the coming judgement that each person will face in the day of Jesus' return. But if we think that the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was only their immoral behaviour, then we will miss the real sin - their lack of reverence and respect of God and His authority. Pastor Ross guides us through the famous passage and helps us identify with each of the characters and what that means for us today and in the future.

The kingdom of God is the rule of Christ. It is synonymous with the saying ‘Jesus is Lord’. Jesus’ rule is not just a place but a here and now that when we step into it we exert His authority over the kingdom of darkness wherever we go. In today’s sermon, Pastor Robin highlights how Jesus’ rule is the reason for accepting, forgiving, and rejoicing with each other as the body of Christ.

Every relationship is only as good as the communication. That is true in marriages, friendships, and even with co-workers. And the same is true with God. When we struggle to hear from Him, it will limit the depth to our relationship. But is hearing God as difficult as we have been led to believe? Or is it something that we are invited to grow into with our loving Heavenly Father?

Doubt is part of the human condition. Denial, pushing it down, or ignoring it won't stop them from eating away at our hope. In Genesis 17 and 18, we see Abraham and Sarah promised a miracle which they laughed at when God first told them. Yet, their doubt didn't decide their faith. Pastor Ross explores what to do when doubt fills our mind.
