- How can you forgive when the hurt runs deep? Pastor Colin Smith shows how the Beatitudes give us a pathway for growth in the Christian life. Rather than trying to reach forgiveness, purity or peace by our own strength, we begin by admitting our need and looking to Christ for what we lack.
- What are the distinguishing marks of a true Christian? Pastor Colin Smith begin a new series in the Beatitudes, where Jesus describes the life that is truly blessed by God.
Discover why faith and good works matter, yet neither alone provides the full answer. As we look at the Beatitudes, we are invited to examine our own hearts and pursue growing humility, purity, mercy, peace and hunger for righteousness. - If God gave you more, what would you do with it? In this final message from the series A Generous Life, Pastor Colin Smith explores 2 Corinthians 9 and the difference between giving to gain and giving from grace.
Discover why God’s blessings are not simply for our own comfort, but so that we can grow in generosity, meet needs, bring thanksgiving to God, and reflect the greatest gift of all: Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us. - How should we decide what to give? In this message from 2 Corinthians 9, Pastor Colin Smith explores the freedom and joy of Christian generosity. God provides both ‘bread for food’ and ‘seed for sowing’, inviting us to trust him, give cheerfully, and reflect the self-giving love of Jesus.
- In a world where trust is often broken, Jesus Christ will never let you down. Join Pastor Colin Smith in 2 Corinthians 8 as he explores what generous, trustworthy Christian giving looks like: giving in proportion to what God has provided, supporting the poor and gospel ministry, and handling every gift with integrity and accountability.
Discover why a church that reflects God’s character will be marked by both generosity and careful stewardship—and find fresh encouragement to place your trust in Christ, who loves you completely and can be trusted with your life, your death and your eternity.
