- We all face temptations, often hearing that nagging voice trying to define us by our past sins. But as Pastor Colin reminds us, in these moments, we must stand firm in our new identity in Christ—a new creation and a child of God.
Join us as we explore how foundational biblical truths of sanctification and regeneration can empower us to overcome temptation, grow in our faith, and live victorious Christian lives. You won't want to miss this enlightening teaching from 2 Corinthians 5, packed with practical wisdom and encouragement for every believer. - Today, we delve into the liberating truth that "You have been set free from sin." Join us as we explore the Apostle Paul's powerful message in Romans 6:22 and 2 Corinthians Chapter 5. Discover how understanding your identity in Christ can empower you to engage in the ongoing battle against sin, knowing that while sin may remain your enemy, it is no longer your master. This is crucial for making progress in the Christian life.
We'll also look at the concept of regeneration – a fundamental change in the believer's soul that marks the beginning of our Christian journey. Learn about the difference between regeneration and sanctification, and how the Holy Spirit's completed work in you fuels your growth and continued transformation. - Pastor Colin Smith invites you to explore the journey of faith and patience as exemplified by the life of Abraham. As we navigate our daily struggles and unanswered questions, we're reminded that faith demands patience for what we do not yet see or have. Pastor Colin encourages us to embrace a life of obedience and endurance, drawing parallels between our earthly lives and Abraham's journey to the Promised Land. With an inspiring look into Hebrews 11, we learn that while we walk by faith, we anticipate a future that faith reveals, looking forward to a heavenly city whose builder is God.
- Today we are discussing the pivotal relationship between faith and obedience—a cornerstone of the Christian life. Pastor Colin presents three vivid illustrations, highlighting the correct interplay between faith and obedience through the story of Abraham. Join us as we explore how faith leads us into the fruitful path of obedience and the patience it demands. This engaging discussion rooted in Hebrews chapter 11 will inspire and challenge you in your walk of faith.
- Psalm 23 reminds us of the comfort and reassurance that comes with knowing the Lord as our Shepherd. Join us in exploring what it truly means to be wholly owned by Jesus Christ and the blessings that follow. Pastor Colin sheds light on the marvellous gifts that come from being part of God's flock: guidance, restoration, protection, provision, and unconditional love.
As we journey through this beloved Psalm, we invite you to reflect on your relationship with Christ and how His presence can lead you through life's valleys. Whether you're a long-time believer or new to the faith, today's message, "He Owns Me," offers encouragement and a deepened understanding of the security found in God's shepherding care.
