Jesus intentionally revealed His Kingdom as one of peace and humility—fulfilling God’s plan and drawing people to ask who He truly is.

True wisdom is more valuable than riches, produces a life of faithful hard work and godly character, and enables someone to face the future with strength, dignity, and confidence in the Lord.

True wisdom calls out clearly and leads to joy, righteousness, and everlasting life in Christ, while selfish desires disguise themselves as wisdom and lead to destruction.

True wisdom is trusting the Lord above your own understanding, pursuing His ways for a lifetime, and discovering that His guidance leads to lasting life, favour, and joy.

Christianity is declining across our culture — but that’s not the end of the story. In this message, we look at the example of Hezekiah in 2 Chronicles and ask a powerful question: could God raise up a new generation to bring renewal? Decline is real, but so is hope. Renewal requires response.

True wisdom begins when we humbly fear God’s limitless power and is sustained as awe of His greatness reshapes our perspective, leading us to repentance, trust, and eternal hope beyond present troubles. 

A wise person fears God—choosing integrity, trusting His justice, and remaining faithful even when life doesn’t make sense. The book of Job teaches us that true wisdom is found in reverence for God, especially in seasons of suffering and crisis.

The Bible isn’t just a collection of stories or rules—it’s wisdom for life. From beginning to end, Scripture shows us how life truly works under God and invites us to live well by trusting Him. Rather than chasing power or money, the Bible points us toward true wisdom, ultimately revealed in Jesus. This message explores how building our lives on Jesus’ teachings through trusting obedience leads to a life that is grounded, meaningful, and shaped by God’s wisdom.

God is love, and He proved it by sending Jesus—calling us to receive that love and reflect it sacrificially to others. This week, Pastor Duane reminds us that experiencing and expressing sacrificial love reflects God’s own character, revealed most fully in the gift of Jesus at Christmas.

This week, Pastor Rick reminds us that God invites believers to live with joy through prayer and thankfulness—even in difficult seasons. As we choose joy, remain faithful in prayer, and practice gratitude in every situation, we learn to trust that God is present with us and working for our good. No matter what we face, He promises to save, sustain, and bring complete, lasting joy in the end.

This week, Pastor Rick reminds us that Christmas brings hope to everyone—those far from God, those who are suffering, and all who choose to trust Him—filling us with joy, peace, and confident hope through the Holy Spirit.

This week, Pastor Natalie reminds us that representing Christ well in our community goes far beyond our words — it’s reflected in the way we live each day. When we love others wholeheartedly, pursue peace, carry ourselves with integrity, and work diligently with what God has entrusted to us, our lives become a powerful witness to those who don’t yet believe. Instead of trying to convince people with arguments alone, we allow our character, consistency, and compassion to speak for us. This kind of honorable living shows the world what it truly looks like to follow Christ and invites others to experience Him through the way we choose to live.

This week, Pastor Arnold reminds us that following Jesus starts with a decision but grows through discipleship. Many believe in Christ yet feel stuck because they stop at belief instead of walking in daily surrender. Salvation is free—it connects us to Christ—but discipleship costs us our way of life. True growth happens when we take up our cross, follow His way over ours, and live out His mission in love, community, and obedience.Join us for a full service at Portico Community Church.

In this message, we look at Jacob’s story and the moment he wrestled with God. Through his struggle, we discover a powerful truth: God’s blessing isn’t something we can control or manipulate—it’s something we receive through surrender. When we stop fighting for what God has already promised and submit to His will, we find His presence and blessing in full measure.Sent from my iPhoneJoin us for a full service at Portico Community Church.

What if Genesis isn’t meant to answer all of our scientific or historical questions, but instead invites us into God’s story in His way? In this message, we look at Genesis 1 not as a textbook on how the world was made, but as a revelation of why it was made—and what that means for our lives today.We’ll explore how God brings order out of chaos, sets rhythms and boundaries for life to flourish, and blesses all creation to reflect His character. When we read Genesis through the lens of Jesus, the Word made flesh, we begin to see not just the start of creation, but God’s ongoing creative work in us and through us.Join us as we discover how leaning into God’s order, His rhythms, and His blessing leads to true flourishing.
