One of the things that differentiates Christianity from other world religions is that Christianity focuses on what God has already done for us through Jesus Christ while most other religions focus on what God expects of us and what we must do to get His love and favor. Jesus has come to us with a rescue mission, and the book that best explains all of this is the book of Romans in the New Testament.

The Habit of Sin
February 10, 2019 • Pastor Larry Hasmatali
Sometimes, as believers, we develop habits of sin. We tell ourselves all kinds of lies about how we aren’t addicted or we don’t have a real big problem. We try to cover up our sin, hoping it eventually goes away. To win the battle against the habit of sin, we need to know who we are in Christ. To break the power of the enemy over our lives, we need to know the Truth (Jesus) and that knowledge of Truth is the doorway to freedom.
From Death To Life
January 27, 2019 • Pastor Larry Hasmatali
The Bubonic Plague began in China in about 1334; from there it spread throughout the world. Sixty million people died. But there is a greater epidemic; a plague far worse that has come to the human race. According to a 2018 census the earth’s population is 7.63 billion people. The epidemic of sin and death has affected every one of them and those yet to be born. As far as God is concerned, there are only two kinds of people in the world. You’re either in Jesus or you’re in Adam. Being in Adam is the default position. All that you need to do is to be born, and you are born in Adam, and immediately you’re under condemnation. We had no choice in that but we do have a choice as to whether or not we are going to stay in Adam or whether we are going to have a new leader–and king. And that is King Jesus.
Hopelessness
January 20, 2019 • Pastor Larry Hasmatali
Statistics Canada reported that suicide remains the second leading cause of death for young people ages 15 to 34. Jesus came to deliver us from hopelessness. Regardless of our circumstances, as Christians, we have hope because God is for us. We have access to His presence and peace. In His presence is fullness of joy, and what the enemy meant for evil, God is going to bring good out of it.
