Synopsis: The Christian life is very much like the life of the Israelites in their time between redemption from slavery in Egypt and coming into the Promised Land. Like them, this life is fragile and sometimes feels like we’re still in the wilderness, but we are on our way home. In this message, Pastor John shares how we can live a satisfying life through Jesus.

Many people think of God in the Old Testament being a God of wrath, while God in the New Testament is a God of Love. In this message, Pastor John looks at what the Bible teaches, and how Jesus showed the best expression of God's love for us while enduring the worst of God's wrath in our place.

Of all the people who have ever lived, one of the most important, other than Jesus himself, is pherhaps the man, Abraham. But rather than idolize this man and worship him as some do, we ought to turn our attention to see the transformation God made in his life and instead worship the Lord Jesus who transformed him. In this message, Pastor John walks through Abraham's deliverance from idolatry to treasuring Jesus as his reward.

In the early pages of Gensis, we see the creation and divergence of two family lines, two branches, two cultures - a culture of liife and a culture of death. In this message, Pastor John applies the principles of Genesis 4-5 to the issue of abortion, and how Jesus alone can transfer us from death to life.

Sin brought many unintended consequences to our first parents - consequences which have been passed down to all of humanity. But there is hope! In this sermon, Pastor John looks at how Jesus brings deliverance from the curse of sin and promises to bring us into a new Heaven and new Earth where life is restored to how God intended it.

The Bible says we came from perfection and were made for perfection. We were made as mirrors to reflect God's image, but sin has broken the mirror so that we reflect His image poorly. Jesus came to glue the mirror back together.

Genesis was written as a theological narrative to reveal the God of Creation. Consequently, the question of origins has implications on everything. In this sermon, Pastor John shows how the Creation sets the stage for the coming of Jesus, who brings light and life to the world.

When God stepped in to deliver His people from slavery, the motivating factor was that they might "hold a feaast to me in the desert." In other words, worship is the very purpose of our lives. In this message, Pastor John shares how heartfelt satsifaction in God is demonstrated in worship.

God is a holy God who’s desire is for people to know Him, worship Him, and walk in His ways. In this message, Pastor John looks at how God's holiness frees us to serve His mission as the holy people of God.

As the Israelites stood at the shores of the Red Sea with the army of Pharaoh bearing down on them, they were, in a sense, stuck between their past and their future. In this message from Exodus 14, Pastor John shows how "stuck-moments" can be life-changing moments.
