The Incredible Worth of a Child - August 24, 2008 AMDave MarttunenWhat does a child mean to a parent, a family, and a community? In a word: hope. Children are the hope of our future. Each child is a gift from God that provides not only an expression of our love in marriage, but also our hope for our future. Each child, as a treasure from the Lord, pays forward the promise of God in the next generation. Each child is a visible reminder that God is at work in our present with purpose for our future.Audio

Exceptional Living - August 17, 2008 PMDavid DawsonAs I watch the Olympic athletes compete and achieve greatness in their sports, it causes me to reflect on what it takes to be exceptional.

A Drop In the Bucket - August 17, 2008 AMDave MarttunenSometimes we may wonder, "What difference does character make?" However, if we think about it another way and ask, "What kind of people do you want to depend on in life," the answer becomes clear. Character is the answer. We all want the people we depend upon to be reliable, honest, loyal, kind, and generous people. In other words, it's character that makes people good. So how do we start to be and then stay the kind of people that we want others to be for us? Today, as we continue to study the life of David, we will see his character at work and we will discover the principles of character that we can adopt for ourselves.Audio
Hope - August 10, 2008 PMDave MarttunenOur is the God of hope. He holds out to us the promise of a future which through relationship with Him empowers us to live in the present. Our world lacks hope. It controls little and battles much. It cannot predict behaviour or modify nature with positive result. People broken in life inherit an earth broken by neglect, greed and cruelty. Tonight Pastor Dave will teach us from John 16 that God the Holy Spirit is the agent of our hope. It is the Holy Spirit who empowers us to hope... As Paul prayed, "Now, may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13.Audio

God of Mercy - August 3, 2008 AMDavid Dawson
As we approach the communion table, our thoughts will be guided by a Pslam reflecting on the mercy of God. This Psalm of Ascents was likely sung as ancient worshippers ascended the temple mountain. It encourages us to approach God in humble confidence as we reflect on his unfailing love. As this Psalm prophetically looks forward to a time when God will redeem his people, we look back on the redeeming life and death of Christ.Audio
