What if God’s strongest work comes wrapped in weakness?

In this Advent sermon from Isaiah 53 and Philippians 2, we reflect on a hope that is easily overlooked — a hope that grows quietly, through dryness, vulnerability, and suffering. Isaiah’s image of a tender plant points us to Jesus: not triumphant by force, but faithful through humility and love.

In a world that often feels cut down to the roots, Advent begins with a surprising promise: from the dead stump, God brings new life. In this sermon, Paul explores Isaiah’s vision of hope rising from ruin, the promise of a coming King, and the Advent tension between pain and promise. Join us as we look for the signs of God’s new beginning in the midst of our broken world.

In Acts 10, two hungry men pray—and God uses their longing to open a door neither of them imagined. In this sermon we explore how hunger, desire, and prayer shape the life of faith, and how God uses our deepest longings to widen our vision of His kingdom. A story of Peter, Cornelius, and the surprising grace that grows when holy hunger meets holy imagination.

Saul’s dramatic transformation didn’t just change his life — it unsettled everyone around him. His former allies were bewildered. His new community was wary. And as theologian Willie James Jennings puts it, the moment Saul rose from the waters of baptism, he became a question.

In this sermon we explore how Saul’s changed life provoked three questions — What happened? What is he saying? What should we do with him? — and how those same questions can shape our own discipleship today.

What if the Spirit wants to make our lives a holy disruption, a living question that points others toward Jesus?

In Acts 9, a hardened persecutor becomes an unlikely brother. In this sermon, we explore the moment Ananias dares to greet Saul with the words “Brother Saul”—and how grace crosses the line between fear and fellowship. On Remembrance Sunday, we reflect on the courage it takes to choose peace, the slow work of forgiveness, and the God who still meets us on the road.

Every so often, life brings us to what people call a bathroom floor moment — when everything familiar feels fragile, and the ground shifts beneath us.

In this message from Acts 8, Rev. Paul Lutton explores how God meets us in those moments, turning disruption into new beginnings.

Even when the map no longer makes sense, God is already ahead of us — working on the ground, opening up new possibilities, and planting seeds of hope.

Congregational member, Scott Robinson, continues our series in Acts with a reflection on the stoning of Stephen. What is the legacy of Stephen's witness? And what might be the legacy of our faith?

In this Harvest Sunday message, Rev. Paul Lutton reflects on Acts 4 and Luke 12 — two passages that challenge our assumptions about ownership, value, and generosity.

From luxury brands to the generosity of the early church, “Stewarding the Harvest” explores what it means to live gratefully, responsibly, and generously in God’s world — where everything we have is gift, and grace is the true currency of the Kingdom.
