Rekindle the Gift of God
The Letters to Timothy Rekindle the Gift of God Readings: 2 Timothy 1:1-14 Preacher: Kevin Kim Why is it that everything seems to drift towards disorder? Scientists call it entropy—the natural tendency for things to wear out, break down and lose energy. But could the same be true of our spiritual lives? In this message from 2 Timothy, we meet a weary and discouraged Timothy, and discover Paul’s gentle invitation to “fan into flame the gift of God.” Rather than calling Read more

At the well, Jesus breaks barriers, offers living water Read more

The temple became a symbol of God’s presence and peace among his people, yet it Read more

Rediscovering Gospel Leadership Reading: Acts 15:1-18 Preacher: Kevin Kim This week we continue our series Foundations of the Early Church by looking at the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15.

Through their example, we learn how faithful, Spirit-led leadership can guide the church through hard decisions. In a time when the church today faces many challenges, how can we rediscover Read more
