Scripture: Luke 1:1-4 | Speaker: Josh Tong | Date: Feb 12, 2017

Some would say that “faith” and “certainty” are incompatible. They would say that, if something takes “faith” to believe, one can never be “certain” that it is true. In this introduction to a new sermon series on the Gospel of Luke, Pastor Josh explains that the book of Luke was written to reconcile “certainty” with “faith”, and it does so by showing us the incredible life and teaching of Jesus Christ.

Scripture: John 15:12-15 | Speaker: Josh Tong | Date: Jan 22, 2017

It is commonly believed that the greatest love can only found in marriage. If that’s true, then single people will never experience the full depths of human intimacy. But is that true? Jesus said, “Greater love has no one than this, that someone should lay down his life for his friends.” In this sermon, Pastor Josh explains how the biblical vision of friendship holds out hope for the most intimate of relationships to everyone, regardless of their marital status, and regardless of their sexual orientation.

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 | Speaker: Josh Tong | Date: Jan 15, 2017

All people experience pain in this world. They seem to have “thorns” embedded in their lives, never to be removed, a perpetual source of weakness throughout life. For some Christians, that thorn is the pain of unrealized same-sex desire. In this sermon, Pastor Josh explains how God can use our thorns – even the thorn of same-sex attraction – to lead us closer to the all-satisfying love of Christ.
