The Always God
There’s a rising sense of uncertainty and turmoil in the world and in our lives. Loss and disappointment seem endless. It might be because of an unexpected diagnosis, or a desperate search for a job, or our concern for the future of our family or those we love. However, during heart-crushing moments we may often wonder: “Why is this happening?” And we can feel abandoned or unloved. Has God given up on us? Is He no longer responding? Has He just left us alone?
Well…our new Sermon Series: “The Always God” will help to answer these very questions and point us back to the reality of our Unchanging and Faithful God, who is always Seeing, Pursuing, Restoring, Speaking, and Hearing.
So come join us over the next 6 weeks, as we celebrate the wonderful God who cares for us and loves us with an everlasting love… and who is always present, all the time. in every area of our lives!

I believe that God truly wants us to love His church… and in this new series, we will learn together how to be the community God intended us to be. You see.. we don’t just attend church..we are the Church! And loving Jesus means loving His church… because it is the Body of Christ whom He died to redeem. So to love the Church means to value what Jesus values. And when people begin to see the Church biblically…as redeemed people learning to love, forgive, worship, grow, and carry one another through life and mission… I believe it will change everything.

As we continue to grow in our love for the Church… this love is also is expressed through Service and involvement in Ministry. Every believer has been gifted by God not for self-promotion, but for building up the body of Christ. And when we serve one another, (motivated by love and not out of compulsion,) we reflect the Heart of Jesus, who did not come to be served but to serve. So serving in the church is not about filling roles. It is about reflecting Christ’s humility and love, through our actions. It is an honour and a privilege to be able to serve the “King of “Kings. And as a result, the Beauty of the Church becomes visible when ordinary people, use their spiritual gifts to strengthen and bless others, (even though it is often in unseen and sacrificial ways.)

There are some things in life that are always changing. People change. Circumstances change. Governments change. Technology changes. Our health and our plans can change…. And even the world around us seems to change faster than we can keep up with. What was normal yesterday… may be completely different tomorrow. But in the middle of a changing world, it is so awesome to know that we have Someone who has never changed… and will never change… and this is Our God! He is not a “was” God, or a “will be” God. He is unchanging, present, trustworthy and faithful. He is the Great “I AM

To have a God who sees, means we have a God who cares. So in spite of what we might be facing today, it is comforting and encouraging to know that as believers we can keep their eyes fixed upon Jesus and put our hope and trust in Him, because He still sees us and never leaves us or forsakes us!

God places immeasurable value on all that are lost. The reason for Jesus coming to earth was to pursue, chase down, seek out, search for those who are in need of Him, and to save the lost. And in three of the most well-known parables in scripture found in Luke 15, Jesus vividly illustrates for us what this love for the lost and pursuit of the lost looks like

God is in the restoration business…even in the places where you have been stuck for a long time. He can restore what has been broken, revive what has become stagnant, and bring hope where you have stopped expecting change. Your past may explain where you are today, but it does not have to determine where God takes you tomorrow. And the God who restored the “Man at Bethesda” is still the God who restores today… and there is no project too big, too broken, or too far-gone for Him to renew and restore.
October 18
God is still speaking to His people today. It might not be face to face, but it is certainly just as powerful. And if God is still speaking, how can we know it’s really him? Is his speaking audible? What does his voice sound like? It is so wonderful to know that the “Always God” wants us to hear and know His voice!
October 25
Prayer matters. Prayer changes things… and it is so good to know that God is always listening and hearing every prayer that His Children are offering. And just as He called upon people to pray in the past and promised to hear their prayers…today God is continuing to call people to pray because he is still hearing prayers today.
