The Cost of Compromise (Part 2 of 2)

Pastor Robbie Symons concludes his message about "The Cost of Compromise" on Live in the Light. How has your life, church, family, business, or heart been threatened by compromise?

The Cost of Compromise (Part 1 of 2)

God has graciously given each of us the gift of free will, which means that we have the freedom to make choices in life. However, when we make selfish choices that are contrary to God's word, we soon find ourselves in sin, grieving the Holy Spirit, and his power in our lives is lost. Today on Live in the Light, we learn that there are severe consequences when we compromise God's truth, but there is also great blessing when we pursue conviction, standing firm in the truth and abiding in Christ. Pastor Robbie speaks from 1 Samuel 2.

Conviction Starts in the Home (Part 1 of 2)

Both he and Hannah modelled a faithfulness and dependence on God in the home where Samuel would be nurtured and raised. His parents' life of prayer was powerful in shaping Samuel's character, preparing him for his eventual positioning as a leader for God's people. Our children are watching - what do they see?

The Lord is sending—are we willing to step out in obedience? Each of us has been given gifts, time, and a story that God wants to use.

The Harvest in Plentiful, the Labourers are Few (Part 1 of 2)

In this message on Live in the Light, Pastor Robbie Symons turns to Matthew 9 where Jesus reminds us that “the harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few.” These words ring true today—not as a cause for discouragement, but as a reminder of the incredible opportunity before us. The world is hungry for hope and truth, and God is still calling and equipping people to go. Jesus is clear in his call: we must pray fervently and earnestly because when we pray, God moves. But as we pray, we’re also faced with a personal challenge—are we willing to be the answer to that prayer?

Atonement: We Deserve Death (Part 1 of 2)

In a world that promotes self-dependency and self-sufficiency, we may ask ourselves, "Am I enough?" "Is there more to this life?" "Why do I feel so much regret?" At the root of these questions, our hearts seek something greater than ourselves and yearn for peace apart from our sin. Enter: God. When he created this world, we sinned, thereby breaking our relationship with him. But in his love, God sends his Son to die a pure and sinless death. Jesus is the sacrifice we need.

Our God is a Sending God (Part 1 of 2)

Today on Live in the Light, Pastor Robbie Symons begins a new series: Life on Mission—From Saved to Sent. He starts by laying this fundamental foundation: Our God is a Sending God.

We do not serve a stationary, passive or distant God—He is always on the move. If we are saved in Christ, then we are called to be on mission too.

We know this world is unstable, but God is Immovable! Therefore, if you are rooted in Christ, you have no need to be afraid. If you are genuinely saved, Jesus will not "unsave" you. What he starts, he finishes. He promises us that all whom the Father gives to him, he will not cast out. He will not lose even one.

A Prayer for Renewal (Part 2 of 2)

A clean house, a clean car, clean clothes, even the proverbial 'clean slate' - why do we so enjoy things that are clean? Perhaps it is because it evokes a sense of purity and newness.
