The Final Sacrifice | Hebrews 10:1-10 | Brent Smith

God created us to be in close fellowship with Him. Right from the beginning in the Garden of Eden God created man to know God and be in close communion with Him. It’s what Adam and Eve enjoyed until they chose to disobey God and sin entered into the human race. That open way of fellowship with God now needed to be repaired, which is what the Bible sets out to reveal ultimately. But as we look at what God…

The King is Coming | Matthew 21:1-11 | Brent Smith

The account of Palm Sunday is a familiar passage to many. It’s a time where we see Jesus purposefully moving toward the cross, the very reason that He came to this world. This week between Palm Sunday and Resurrection Sunday is known as passion week or Holy week. This week is named after the Latin word passio, which means suffering or enduring. Jesus suffered much as He willingly and passionately gave Himself for us sacrificially. His love was on display…

Fact Checking Christmas | Matthew 2:7-12 | Brent Smith

Though Christmas is filled with lots of great truths for us, it also has lots of traditions and things passed down that were never really a part of the Christmas narrative at all. These are images and thoughts that are embedded in our brain as what happened, but when you dive in a little deeper the reality is quite different. Some of these are minor innocent things for us, but some of the realities of Christmas reveal a deeper meaning…

Christmas on Time | Galatians 4:4-5 | Brent Smith

Waiting is never easy. We’ve become so conditioned to things being express, instant, immediate, that having to wait for any period of time is agony. And yet, waiting is right where the Lord often has us. It’s not a waiting to make us frustrated, it’s a waiting to bring us to a place of resting in Him. Trusting Him and learning in that time that He’s all we need. And He not only wants to sustain us, He wants to…

The Storms of Life: John 6:15-21 | Mike Vincent

John 6:15-21 describes the disciples’ struggle on the Sea of Galilee after Jesus sent them ahead. They were caught in a storm and were rowing with difficulty when they saw Jesus walking on the water. Terrified, they initially thought he was a ghost, but he reassured them, saying “It is I; don’t be afraid.” The disciples then took Jesus into the boat, and it immediately reached their destination.

Brent Smith: Man of Salvation | Revelation 1:17-18

We will be looking at a couple of verses that has caught our attention regarding Jesus’ resurrection and victory. Looking at the book of Revelation in its relation to the conquering King Jesus we’ve been seeing at His second coming through our study of the Olivet Discourse these past few Sundays. And the book of Revelation certainly details the victory Jesus holds over death.

Brent Smith: Man of Sorrows | Isaiah 53:1-6

Isaiah 53 (and really beginning in Isaiah 52:13) details the suffering of the Messiah. It’s an incredible thing to have a Saviour that has come down to this world on an incredible rescue mission to save us. As we’ve been in Matthew 24 on Sundays recently, we’ve been looking at the second coming of Christ. And when He returns, He comes back in power and great glory. But His first coming took on a very different look. So much so…
