Love is Maturing by Abidan Paul Shah
Immature people are rude and crude. They say and do things without regard to the feelings of others. They only think of self and how they can benefit from a situation. True love cares about how others feel.
Love is Serving by Pastor Abidan Shah
In this message we will look at the statement – “Love does not parade itself, is not puffed up.” There is no room for pride in love. In fact, “Love is Serving” others the way Christ serves us.
Love is Cheering by Pastor Abidan Shah
The challenge in this message is two-fold: first, do not envy and second, share in the joys of others. It’s not enough to say that you are not envious of others. God wants us to go a step further and show love by rejoicing in the blessings of others.

God’s Calling Card by Pastor Abidan Shah
We are trying to understand what Jesus meant when He told His opponents “Moses wrote about Me.” The question is – how and where did Moses mention Jesus? Another clue is found in John 1:12-14 where Jesus is described as coming down to dwell among us and allowing us to see His glory and His grace. Did you know that this was “GOD’S CALLING CARD” in the Old Testament, especially Exodus 34:5-7?

Battle of the Gods: How the Trinity Changes Everything by Pastor Abidan Shah
In this series we will examine Jesus’s words in John 5 where He explains His relationship to God the Father. We will come face to face with the cardinal doctrine of the Christian faith – the Trinity. But don’t think for a moment that this will be some deep theological discourse or disquisition. Each message will be very applicable for our salvation, church, marriage, family, and world.
When God Calls You by Pastor Abidan Shah
First, we will see how Matthew got his call to follow Jesus and how he immediately complied. We need to remember that God is constantly calling men and women, boys and girls to follow Him. Is He calling you? What is your answer?

Encounters: Engaging People the Jesus Way (The Downtrodden) by Pastor Abidan Shah

Encounters: Engaging People the Jesus Way (the Doubter) by Pastor Abidan Shah
In the first two messages in the series we met a religious man (Nicodemus) and an outcast (Samaritan woman). Both had an encounter with the Savior and were transformed. In this message we will meet a doubter. Even though He came to Christ, He did not trust His power. Jesus rebuked Him, answered His need, and transformed Him.
The Propulsion Engine of the Church by Pastor Abidan Shah

When Ministry Grows by Pastor Abidan Shah
As our church continues to grow, we will also have to deal with opposition. The key is to prayerfully organize ourselves and continue the work God has called us to do.
No Benchwarmers by Pastor Abidan Shah
Christianity is more than just a come and sit religion. It is a call to do go and serve. We are saved to serve. Many Christians feel as if something is missing in their Christian walk. They search high and low for some secret formula to joy and fulfillment but to no avail. True joy and fulfillment can only be found in allowing the Holy Spirit to find a place for us to serve in God’s Kingdom.
