The Incomparable God

The Lord is the everlasting God!” Come be reminded of God’s absolute uniqueness: the One who is sovereign in power, supreme in wisdom and all-surpassing in glory!

Servant of Justice

As God’s chosen and cherished children – as His servants – we must 1) love the hurting; 2) teach His Word and; 3) work for justice. Let’s not grow tired or discouraged – let’s simply keep serving the Lord!

The Servant of the Lord

Isaiah 40:1-11
In the first part of Isaiah 40 we see three messages the Servant is committed to preach.

The Conquering King

Matthew 28 shows us three ways we can and should respond to the resurrection of Jesus: 1) be amazed; 2) be confident and; 3) be bold – Jesus really did rise from the dead!

The Righteous One - Matthew 26:57-66

The Soil of the Heart

In Matthew 13, in the Parable of the Soils, Jesus invites us to do a deep-dive diagnosis of our hearts.

Humility - Philippians 2:1-11

Humility is the 13th and final character perfection of our Lord Jesus. Though He literally deserved everything in terms of honor, love and service Jesus laid down all of His rights and served us to the ultimate degree.

Zeal - Matthew 10:1-13

Zeal is an abiding passion for God that moves us to live for His kingdom. Jesus was perfectly aligned, with his internal zeal fueling his ministry priorities.

The Practices of a United Church

Jesus is actively spreading the knowledge of His glory and goodness all over the world through the church. He is the head and we are His body, sharing His love and truth with those around us. 

Kindness - Matthew 9

Matthew 9 documents nine people or groups having an encounter with Jesus and illustrates the depth and breadth of the kindness of our Lord.
