What does it mean to be a healthy Christian? It means living with purpose, not just for yourself but for others, spreading the Good News persistently and passionately.
In 1 Corinthians 9, Paul shares how he became “all things to all people” in order to reach as many as possible with the gospel. This message inspires us to reflect on the power of persistence in evangelism and how we can share Christ’s love effectively by meeting people where they are, just as Paul did.
Are you ready to step up your evangelism efforts? Join us as we uncover what it means to be a healthy Christian, driven by a heart for soul winning and a passion for sharing the gospel!

Jesus reminds us that the greatest love is the willingness to lay down our lives for others, just as He did for us. A love worth giving away is one that sacrifices and serves, bringing complete joy and fulfillment as we live for Jesus, live for others, and bear fruit that endures. When we love this way, we experience the fullness of His joy in us.Recorded October 13th, 2024Message by Pastor Tim WardScripture: John 15:9-17

Is worship something you only think about on Sunday mornings? Or is it the heartbeat of your life?
In Isaiah 6, the prophet finds himself in the presence of the Almighty, overwhelmed by God’s glory. He doesn’t simply observe it—he’s transformed by it. This encounter leads him to recognize his own unworthiness, confess his sins, and respond with a life-altering commitment to God’s call: “Here am I. Send me!”

Are you a Christian who prays only when the storm clouds gather? Or are you seeking to be spiritually healthy, anchored in prayer even when the sun is shining?
Prayer is more than just turning to God in moments of need; it’s staying connected to Him in the highs and lows of life. From the words of James and Paul, we are called to rejoice, pray, and give thanks in all circumstances, not just the difficult ones.

On any given Sunday, the priests of old would offer sacrifices that could never fully take away sin. But this Sunday, we remember the One who offered Himself once for all, seated at the right hand of God, declaring that through His perfect sacrifice, we are made whole, forgiven, and free forever.

Just as Moses faced unexpected challenges despite following God's direction, we, too, encounter days where everything seems to go wrong no matter how faithfully we try to walk the path set before us. Yet, even in the midst of our most difficult days, when things only seem to get worse, Exodus 5:1-23 reminds us that God is still working, shaping our faith through the trials and guiding us toward His greater purpose.Recorded August 25th, 2024Message by Pastor Tim WardScripture: Exodus 5:1-23
