Psalms 41:1-3 (NIV)
Blessed are those who have regard for the weak;
the Lord delivers them in times of trouble.
The Lord protects and preserves them—
they are counted among the blessed in the land—
he does not give them over to the desire of their foes.
The Lord sustains them on their sickbed
and restores them from their bed of illness.

Today, Dave Blow continues in our series on the Sermon on the Mount with a teaching on the fourth beatitude: hungering and thirsting for righteousness.
Please find the slide deck for this week's teaching here.

Hebrews 4:14-16 (NLT)
So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.
This morning, Dave Blow shared a teaching on the next two Beatitudes: "Blessed are those who mourn..." and "Blessed are the meek...". Jesus is telling us that those who mourn deeply understand the cost of violence and those who grieve the world's pain are less eager to add to it.

John 1:1-5, 14, 16-18 (NIV)
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, t...
This week, Dave Blow continues our teaching on the Sermon on the Mount with a dive into the first Beatitude, "Blessed are the poor in spirit." What does this mean, exactly? And how should it affect the way that we live?

Psalms 98:1-3 (NIV)
Sing to the Lord a new song,
for he has done marvelous things;
his right hand and his holy arm
have worked salvation for him.
The Lord has made his salvation known
and revealed his righteousness to the nations.
He has remembered his love
and his faithfulness to Israel;
all the ends of the earth have seen
the salvation of our God.
Today, Dave Blow began our first teaching series of 2026, which will be about Christ's Sermon on the Mount, by looking at the Beatitudes and what it means to be "blessed". What does the Kingdom of God look like? What does it mean to be #blessed?

Psalms 18:1-4 (NIV)
I love you, Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,
and I have been saved from my enemies.
The cords of death entangled me;
the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.
Merry Christmas, everyone! Dave Blow shared this final Advent reflection at our Christmas Eve service. This will be our last post for 2025. We will be back with new teachings on January 4th. As always, we will be meeting in the Newmarket SilverCity at 10:00AM. All are welcome!
While there will not be any Home Church meeting this week, consider these questions for personal reflection:

Luke 2:8-14 (NIV)
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This w...

Isaiah 9:2-7 (NIV)
The people walking in darkness
have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of deep darkness
a light has dawned.
You have enlarged the nation
and increased their joy;
they rejoice before you
as people rejoice at the harvest,
as warriors rejoice
when dividing the plunder.
For as in the day of Midian’s defeat,
you have shattered
the yoke that burd...

Isaiah 40:1-8 (NIV)
Comfort, comfort my people,
says your God.
Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,
and proclaim to her
that her hard service has been completed,
that her sin has been paid for,
that she has received from the Lord’s hand
double for all her sins.
A voice of one calling:
“In the wilderness prepare
the way for the Lord;
make straight in the desert
a highway...

Next Sunday we will be having Communion together (which is ordinarily on the first Sunday of each month). All are w...
Isaiah 2:2-5 (NIV)
In the last days,
the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established
as the highest of the mountains;
it will be exalted above the hills,
and all nations will stream to it.
Many peoples will come and say,
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the temple of the God of Jacob.
He will teach us his ways,
so that we may walk in his paths.”
The law will go out fr...

1 Peter 1:3-5 (NIV)
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
This morning, we welcome Will Dyer, leader of the Monday night Andrew Street Home Church, as he touches the lightning rod that is the intersection of faith and politics. On Christ the King Sunday, we ask: to whom do we owe our allegiance?
