Authentic Love
James 2:1-7 | Sun, May 10, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

In The Epistle of James 2:1–7, James teaches that authentic faith is revealed through authentic love — a love that refuses to show partiality or rank people based on wealth, appearance, status, or influence. The message warns believers against favoritism and reminds the church that every person is made in the image of God and equally valuable because of Christ’s sacrifice.

What true religion looks like
James 1:25-26 | Sun, May 03, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message explores what genuine faith looks like according to James 1:26–27, emphasising that true religion is not outward appearance but inward transformation expressed through action.

Tempted, not trapped
James 1:16-25 | Sun, Apr 26, 2026 | Andre Delport

This message, based on James 1:16–25, explores the difference between being tempted and being trapped, emphasising that temptation is common but does not have to lead to bondage. It highlights that believers often lose the battle not at the level of desire, but at the level of interpretation—what they believe temptation means about them.

Life's great lessons
James 1:9-15 | Sun, Apr 19, 2026 | Jason Magafas

This message explores three key lessons from James 1:9–15: earthly status is temporary, trials have eternal rewards, and sin begins within the human heart. It emphasizes that temptation does not come from God but from our own desires.

The Song of Victory
Psalm 16:1-11 | Sun, Apr 05, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message unpacks Psalm 16 as a prophetic “song of victory” pointing to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It shows that true security, joy, and identity are found not in circumstances or worldly pursuits, but in God alone. Because Jesus rose from the dead, believers can live with unshakable hope, knowing that death is defeated and fullness of joy is found in God’s presence.

The Song of the King
Psalm 118:1-22 | Sun, Mar 29, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message explores Palm Sunday through Psalm 118, showing how Jesus entered Jerusalem not as a conquering political king, but as a sacrificial King bringing true peace.

The Song of Trust
Psalm 34:1-22 | Sun, Mar 22, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message on Psalm 34 explores what it means to truly trust God, not just in moments of ease but in seasons of uncertainty, fear, and waiting. Trust is shown not only through belief but through surrender—choosing God’s way even when outcomes are unclear. A life of trust becomes a “song,” reflecting confidence in God’s character, faithfulness, and control.

The Song of Surrender
Psalm 31:1-24 | Sun, Mar 15, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

The message explores the spiritual practice of surrender—trusting God even when circumstances are uncertain or painful. Psalm 31 demonstrates David’s willingness to place his life completely in God’s hands despite fear, enemies, and distress. True surrender is not passive resignation but an active trust that God is faithful and in control.

Song of Sorrow
Psalm 22:1-31 | Sun, Mar 08, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

The message on Psalm 22, reflects on how sorrow, suffering, and lament are real parts of the human experience and the Christian life. Scripture shows that God meets people in their pain and uses suffering to shape endurance, character, and hope in Christ. Because Jesus entered human suffering and carried it to the cross, believers can bring their sorrow honestly to God and find hope and transformation through Him.

Song of Thanks
Sun, Mar 01, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message, rooted in Psalm 118, explores why thankfulness should be the natural response of a believer—not just on special occasions, but every day of life. Ultimately, our song of thanks flows from remembering His deliverance, trusting His steadfast love, and fixing our hearts firmly on Jesus, the cornerstone.
