Lessons From The Flight Deck
Pastor Syd shares his personal lessons from the flight deck as a pilot as they relate to applying Christian faith to our daily life and sometimes its drama.
Give Thanks!
Kevin Burrows started his sermon by asking the question: When God tells you to do something, is it a suggestion or a command? He gave many Scriptures about being thankful. Being thankful in your prayers will bring peace. It will usher in miracles. It is an integral part of intercession for others. Kevin also pointed out the judgment which comes from being thankful and murmuring. Look at the cross.
Expand The Kingdom – Preserve The Kingdom
Jacob Makris preached about the Kingdom of God. We are citizens, colonizers for and owned by, King Jesus and Father God. We tell the Gospel to others, and we preserve the Kingdom by being His ambassadors of the great mandate.
What Are You Looking At?
Pastor Syd asked us: What are you looking at? How important is what you are looking at? Have a divine vision. Meditate and see yourself doing what you are to be doing. How does God see me?

Pastor Syd taught on: where to put your tithes and firstfruits, the purpose of them, and the New Covenant Scriptures about them.
Pro Life & Abortion
Life and Death
Pastor Sydney preached on life and death, mainly the value that God puts on human life. God is pro-life and pro-choice. He gives everyone a choice to choose life or death and tells us to choose life (Deut. 30:19). He talked about forgiveness for having an abortion and ways to be salt and light. Sarah gave a presentation representing Love Life and how the church members can become activated in the move to help people choosing an abortion.
Its Time To Push The Basket
Andrew Taylor taught on the important influence of a mother on her child in very difficult circumstances. Jochebed, Moses’ mother, was an ordinary, but courageous woman of God, who trusted God, made the most of her time with Moses, and took seriously the mission of motherhood. Be a Jochebed in someone’s life.
First Fruits – part 1
God blesses the firstfruits of your harvest, and if the first is blessed and holy, the rest is blessed and holy. Pastor Syd gave many Old and New Testament Scriptures and personal experiences about the importance of the giving the firstfruits. Christ was the firstfruit. Be desperate for the Lord and partner with Him.
Honoring The Lord
There was a period of consecration to the Lord, receiving the “reign.” Don’t quit in the dry times. Giving of offerings is a way of honoring God and others. If you honor Him, you will give Him something valuable. Honor the position of authority; don’t dishonor the leaders. Honor doesn’t mean obey.
Tithes – part 2
Returning the tithe is a covenant thing, which came before the law. It, and giving offerings, are a heart matter, and giving must be done in faith in order to please God. Returning the tithe is a “now” thing. Don’t tithe, and you will miss out on the blessings.
Tithes – part 1
Pastor Syd explains what’s our job as priests, what’s an acceptable offering to God, why Cain’s offering was unacceptable, and is the tithe for today? The tithe belongs to the Lord. It’s based on covenant.
Being Anchored In Our Foundation
The foundation for life is Jesus. What are you building on, man or God? Keep God first. Our identity is that we are sons or daughters in Christ. Know the heart of the Father, be available to Him, listen for Him, and obey Him.
God’s Mountain
Pastor Jonathan preached on the counsel of God and approaching the throne of God and His glory. He defines “prophets.”
