Faith Works
James 2:14-26 | Sun, May 31, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message unpacks James 2:14–26, where James challenges the idea of faith without action by asking whether such faith can truly save. It explains that faith without works is dead. The message also clarifies that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus, but genuine saving faith is always demonstrated through a transformed life and obedient action.

Law of Liberty
James 2:8-13 | Sun, May 17, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

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

Taming the tongue
James 3:1-12 | Sun, May 24, 2026 | Jason Magafas

This message unpacks the teaching from the Book of James 3 about the power and danger of the tongue, showing how something small can have massive destructive or life-giving influence. It emphasizes that human effort alone cannot tame the tongue—only surrender to God through Christ can transform what comes out of our mouths.

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.
