Scripture for Sunday, Oct. 18

is Luke 22:24-30

A dispute also arose among them as to which one of them was to be regarded as the greatest. But he said to them, “The kings of the gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors. But not so with you; rather, the greatest among you must become like the youngest and the leader like one who serves. For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

READ MORE

“You are those who have stood by me in my trials, and I confer on you, just as my Father has conferred on me, a kingdom, so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Speaker: Emmanuella Avornyoh

Message Topic: Jesus' followers are expected to serve. But what does that mean? What does it look like for us to serve like Jesus served?

Music

Listen to one of our newer songs.

This song not only declares that our God is an awesome God, but it clearly sets out why that is so.

Communion - this Sunday

Communion is a symbolic reenactment of the last supper Jesus shared with his disciples. The bread (gluten-free) and juice symbolize his death, point to his resurrection, and remind us that through his death he defeated the power of sin and death over us. Everyone is free to choose for themselves whether to participate or not.


DIG DEEPER into one of our recent sermons


Thankful for You

Sunday, October 11, 2026

This sermon encourages us to remember that God's grace is at work in the people around us, so we practice appreciation and give God the glory.

Questions for Reflection (Adults)

  1. Paul gave thanks for the church in Corinth even though it struggled with division, conflict, and other problems. What does his example teach us about appreciating people who are imperfect?
  2. This sermon emphasizes that we should not simply feel gratitude but actively practise it. What are some practical ways you could practice gratitude this week?
  3. The sermon describes the church as a family made up of imperfect people whom God calls to love one another. What makes this challenging, and what makes it worthwhile?
  4. If you began each day by looking for evidence of God's grace in the people around you, what might change in the way you see and treat others?

Questions for Reflection (Children)

  1. Who is someone God has placed in your life that you are thankful for? What do you appreciate about them?
  2. What are some ways you can show someone that you appreciate them?
  3. How could you make thanking God and appreciating others part of your everyday life, instead of doing it only at Thanksgiving?
  4. The sermon reminds us that the church is like a family, even though none of us is perfect. What are some ways we can encourage, help, or forgive one another at church?
