In this message Pastor David W. Forrest explores Psalm 23. Though everyone knows this Psalm, it's the John 3:16 of the Psalms; but the basis of this Psalm is for believers, people who know the Shepherd! Don't know the Shepherd? Lean into this message, and hear about the Lord, the Great Shepherd of the sheep. Pastor Dave

In this sermon Pastor David W. Forrest explores Blessings & Curses in the Bible, beginning with Adam & Eve and looking at today. Is it possible for someone to be BLESSED with Salvation and still live under a curse today? What about what Jesus did on the cross, how He became a curse for us, what curse does that deal with? Join us as we explore Blessings & Curses, by Pastor Dave.

In this sermon Pastor Dave Forrest digs into Matthew's Gospel the third temptation. Satan's illusion to give Jesus all the Kingdoms of this world. Jesus saw through it, but how easily we get caught up. To see & believe that which is allusion while missing out on what the truth is.

Jesus' temptation in the wilderness to throw Himself off the pinnacle. Satan uses the Scriptures out of context to test God. How does Jesus respond? How should we respond to in our day?

Jesus being tempted to turn a stone into bread. Looking into God's provision for Israel in the Old Testament for Jesus and for us today.

Following Jesus' public baptism, where He heard form His Father (well done), His very next step was to temptation in the wilderness. The humiliation of Jesus/ God being tempted is so beneath Him. How do we view our temptations? How do we see God in the midst of temptation? What is the point of a believers being tempted? Lots of questions! Tune in for some answers.

Once we know we've erred (AKA Sinned) the conflict within for confession is a monster within the soul. The battle within of pride keeps us from repenting and from change. Pastor Dave dives into the fruit of repentance. Simply put, what happens inside must manifest itself outside, otherwise is it our repentance true? Often times we may need to repent of our repenting.

In Matthew's gospel chapter three, John the Baptist is introduced calling for repentance. When the Pharisees and Sadducee's came also, John spoke sharply and directly to them about bearing the fruit of repentance.

The historical roots of our National Anthem - "O Canada" is Christian! June 23 1606. John the Baptist the forerunner of the Christ. Matthew chapter 3 John called the people to repentance. The kingdom of Heaven is near! Our founding father believed in the Bible & repentance.  

In this message, Pastor David W. Forrest tackles the issue of abortion in the wake of Matthew 2:13-23. King Herod orders the slaughter of the innocent in defense of his own throne. The parallel in modernity and the killing of children in the womb in the defense selfish throne. What has God's call for us today, in the light of His Word.      

In Matthew's Gospel Chapter 6:9 Jesus teaches His disciples how to pray. In a day of politically correctness and people self identifying. "Our Father" is the way the Bible teaches us to pray. As many people as there are, we each have our own personal experiences and ideas of even the word Father means, yet God has given us all one prayer. Some may have had a bad father, some a great father, while others never had a dad at all. God knows this. In fact He knew exactly the kind of childhood you would have and He still tells you to call God "Father". God is the standard of what a "Father" is. The very fact that you know what a "good Father is" is because of who God is.

Matthews Gospel 1: 21 The birth of Jesus as one who will, "save His people from their sins". Many of us want to be "saved" or released from many things on this earth.

In this life many people live through VERY difficult things, the next LIFE is eternal.

The Word of God in its understanding is for the church, not the world. The Gospel itself is for the world and once the gospel is received and embraced, and one becomes a Christian then the Word of God will have meaning and understanding will flourish.  The following is an Expository message from Pastor David W. Forrest from Philippians 2:1-11 on the "like-mindedness" of the Christian. The Christian is to have the mind of Christ which the world does not have, indeed it cannot have. (John 14:17) Unless the spirit has been regenerated, that is renewed in Christ; the heart cannot love as Christ loves, nor live as Christ lives, nor have His mind.

Pastor David W. Forrest continues in the book of Philippians focusing in on "To live is Christ" which is the death of self, (for it is no longer you who live but Christ who lives in you) and "to die is gain" which is the completion of the work that Christ began in you.  

Exposition Message: Pastor David W. Forrest continues on in the book of Philippians, focusing on verse 29 of chapter one. Two gifts from God, belief and suffering. The depth & strength of our faith & belief, are not based on "our selves" but on our God. Would you suffer for the Lord?
