Pastor Andrew brings a challenging word from the story of Cain and Abel
Sit quietly with grace, and let it work its slow, substantial change. Nothing is more common for those whose hearts have been divinely warmed than to pledge themselves to new, exacting duties. We'll read our Bibles for an hour each day; pray for all our friends and even for some enemies; tell “unconverted” colleagues, neighbors—even strangers—of their task to do as we have done. We move at hyper-speed as if to make up for the months—the years—when we ourselves were unresponsive to the gospel. But what we need—and what our friends and enemies much need—is that we answer the first call of grace: “Be still, and know that I am God” (Ps 46:10). Our rush to vow new righteous duties, work new holy deeds, and tell what we have only started to experience is often just another act of foolish self-atonement. Heaven wisely urges us to quiet. “This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: ‘Only in returning to Me and resting in Me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence is your strength'” (Isa 30:15-16). Grace received always grows into grace well-lived. But beware of pledging your good deeds until you've more fully learned all that the Lord has kindly done for you. And stay in grace. -Bill Knott

Can you tell time? Most people can look at a watch or clock or digital number that keeps track of time and know what time it is. Yet, do you know what time it is? Jesus, our Redeemer, the Savior of the World, knows how to tell time.
The Practice of the Presence of God | Ps Chris | Sunday 19 April
What if generosity isn't about giving more… but about trusting that you already have enough?In this message from The Generosity of God series, Ps Sue Irwin explores how generosity flows from who God is, not just what we do. It's not a nice extra for Christians, it's a core part of how God's kingdom works.Through honest reflection and powerful real-life stories, this message challenges the way we think about generosity. It's not just about money. It's in our words, our time, our thoughts, and how we treat people, especially when there's nothing in it for us.At the heart of it is a simple but confronting truth: we hold back because we're afraid there won't be enough. But when we begin to truly rest in God's love and provision, generosity becomes natural.If you've ever felt stretched, guarded, or unsure how to give, this message will help you reset your perspective and take a step forward.Take a moment to listen, reflect, and let God reshape how you live and give.
Sunday's message will explore further Jesus' teaching through the Parable of the Sower. We know the Sower is good! We know the seed the Sower sows is good! But what makes for good soil?
Post Easter Postscript: The Kingdom of God is like... a Good Sower, sowing Good Seed, into Good Soil. You have to wonder what the disciples were talking about after Jesus resurrection. When Jesus was spending time with the disciples after his resurrection, what did they talk about?

Prayer refers to the multifaceted communication of believers with the LORD God. In addition to words like "prayer" and "praying," this activity is described as calling upon God (Ps. 17:6) and calling upon the name of the LORD (Gen. 4:26). Take a listen to session one of Effective Praying. Blessings, Presiding Elder Barbara Hayes FLSB
In a world filled with uncertainty and shifting circumstances, God invites us to pause, surrender control, and trust in His power. This message explores Psalm 46 and the call to “be still,” reflecting on the devastating 2019 Lake Conjola bushfires and the story of faith through crisis. Through Scripture, testimony, and worship music by Jillie Flaxman, we are reminded that God is our refuge, strength, and present help in trouble. When life feels impossible—like the Israelites at the Red Sea—God fights for us. Let go of fear, listen for His still small voice, and discover the peace that comes from trusting Him completely.
What does it mean to truly have a heart after God? In this message, we explore the life of David and the qualities that defined his relationship with God: a passionate heart, a pure heart, a courageous heart, a persistent heart, and a submissive heart. Through key scriptures, we discover how God looks beyond outward appearance and searches the depths of our hearts.Join us as we learn what it looks like to pursue God with a heart fully devoted to Him.

Ps. Samuel contiunes on Bursting forth series
The Lord’s Supper is not a mere ritual. Nor is it empty symbolism. It’s the “Gospel made visible,” as Gerhardus Vos once said. Consider these six elements: (1) The Lord's Supper proclaims the substitutionary atonement of Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 11:24-25); (2) it is given for our spiritual nourishment and growth and grace (John 6:35, 57); (3) it confirms our union and communion with Christ (John 15:4); (4) it renews our thankfulness and our commitment to God (Ps. 50:14); (5) it declares our love and fellowship with one another (1 Cor. 10:17); and; (6) it points us to the Second Coming of Christ (1 Cor. 11:26).
What is the greatest gift of love? In this message, we unpack the promise of Immanuel—God with us. Discover how His love changes everything about how we experience His presence. Join Celebration Church Orlando for a message from Pastor Keith Pittman as we explore why the Word becoming flesh is the ultimate invitation to a life transformed by the presence of God.
In our modern world of online “social” networking, we are in some ways more connected to one another today than ever before in human history. Yet the reported rates of loneliness are at an all time high: 60% amongst Gen X, 65% for Millennials, and as many as 67% of Gen Z report feeling lonely “often” (Cigna, 2025). Where can we turn for real connection? First, we go to God (Ps 73:23). But second, we turn to - and fold into - God's people, the Church, His prescription for our loneliness. We invite you to do just that during this sermon, and join us as we discover how “God's Community is the Cure for the World's Disconnection”.
The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/121625.cfmIn today's homily, Fr. David Gunter, MIC, draws us into the prophetic urgency of Zephaniah and the hope that follows divine correction. Speaking to a time of widespread apostasy and moral confusion, the prophet confronts a people seduced by false worship and corrupt leadership. Yet Zephaniah does not end with judgment. He announces restoration.Scripture reminds us that God never abandons His people:“But I will leave within you the meek and humble.The remnant of Israel will trust in the name of the Lord.” (Zeph 3:12).Throughout salvation history, the Lord preserves a faithful remnant — not the proud or powerful, but those supple to grace. Saint Paul echoes this truth when recalling Elijah's despair: “So also at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace” (Rom 11:5). Advent places this message squarely before us. The birth of Christ sets the restoration of humanity in motion — for Israel and the Gentiles alike.Father Gunter challenges us to recognize that we are living in a new season of preparation, one that calls for silence, repentance, and humility rather than distraction and noise. Those who recognized the Messiah — Anna, Simeon, Joseph, Elizabeth, and above all the Blessed Virgin Mary — were humble souls formed by prayer and trust. The same humility is required of us today. As the psalmist declares, “God alone is my rock and salvation… my refuge is in God” (Ps 62:7a & 8c). This Advent, the question is not whether God is offering grace — He is — but whether we are prepared to receive it. Through Confession, prayer, and fidelity, let us become the remnant ready for Christ to be born anew in our hearts.Advent places this message squarely before us. The birth of Christ sets the restoration of humanity in motion — for Israel and the Gentiles alike. ★ Support this podcast ★
07.12.25 Go With God [Ps. Jon] by Maretul Har UK
Ray Bevan unveils the mystery, weight, and beauty of the call of God, showing how destiny is birthed in hidden places, guarded in incubation, and revealed in divine timing. Through scripture, prophetic insight, humour, and lived experience, he exposes how God ambushes His people into purpose, orders their steps even when they feel lost, and uses servanthood in the mundane as the doorway to destiny. This message awakens confidence for those who feel overlooked, weary, or under attack, reminding them that heaven's gaze is upon what they carry and the fullness of time is already in motion. Receive strength, clarity, and courage to walk out the call God designed before you were born.

149:1 Praise the LORD!- This begins with an imperative that calls to praise God. Sing to the LORD a new song- Ps. 33:3; 40:3; 96:1-22; 98:1-3; 144:9-10; Isa. 42:10; Rev. 5:9; 14:3. “A new song is a hymn of victory sung after God had made all things new by His defeat of the forces of evil” Longman, 475. The songs “refers to the beginning of a new era, a new epoch in history” NICOT, 1006. They sing recognizing their victories and successes are His work. Psalms 144 and 149 are linked by reference to the new song. “In a real sense, then, Psalm 149 completes the movement of transferring the Davidic theology to the whole people” McCann, 1274. And His praise in the congregation of the godly ones- Godly ones are mentioned in vs. 5, 9.“The phrase is equivalent to ‘congregation of the righteous' (1:5)” VanGemeren, 876. This phrase seems to be used interchangeably with Israel (vs. 2), sons of Zion (vs. 2), His people (vs. 4), afflicted ones (vs. 4), godly ones (vs. 5). “These various designations make a colorful mosaic of the salvific relationship between the LORD and His people…The former use of the assembly (qahal) as a denotation of Israel in the wilderness (cf. Num. 14:5; 20:4, 6) is narrowed to a specific group within Israel, also known as ‘the humble' (Ps. 9:12) or ‘the people of Zion'” VanGemeren, 876. 149:2 Let Israel be glad in his Maker- 95:6 “Then three verses follow which invite them (Let…Hb. Jussive or wish, vv. 2-3, 5 to perform His praise with joy” Broyles, 517.The LORD as Israel's Maker is stressed in Isa. 45:1; 51:11-12; 54:5; Ps. 95:6. “His Maker is plural in Hebrew, a plural of intensity or majesty” Miller, 452. Let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King- The phrase sons of Zion is used in Lam. 4:2; Joel 2:23. God is viewed as the people's King in Ps. 145:1. “Within 146-150 only 149:2 describes the Lord as King to whom (vs. 8) the kings submit. Thus, the psalm takes the metaphor of kingship seriously, including the extenstion of the kingdom by force of arms. But it is just a metaphor, just as Isa. 9:4, 5, 7 militarism is metaphorical of the extension of the kingdom of peace as in Acts 15:14-18. Amos' picture of Gentiles subservience to David is metaphorical of the spreading the gospel” Motyer, 583.The words be glad and rejoice are sometimes used together for the people's attitude toward God- Ps. 32:11. In contrast, the Babylonians use these words of their god- Hab. 1:15.“He deserves Israel's praise because He is their Maker and King” Longman, 475. “As their ‘Maker' He has elected, redeemed, and fashioned the descendants of Jacob (95:6; 100:3; Isa. 44:21; 51:13) into a coming characterized by holiness and royalty (cf. Ex. 19:5-6)” VanGemeren, 876. For more notes, please write me a private note on Facebook.
In this powerful message, Ps. Marco inspires us to live under the heavenly laws and principles of the Kingdom of God. To trust in our God who is a promise maker and a promise keeper, to understand how the power of the Holy Spirit can operate in our lives, and to be a witness to those around us in our sphere of influence.
The positioning of our hearts to encounter God is how we get deliverance. In this power-packed message, Ps. Mike teaches on the liberty and freedom that Christ wants us to walk in.
