"He is not here; He has risen, just as He said!" The life-changing invitation given by the angel at the empty tomb in Matthew 28:1-7 is not just an invitation to believe a story, but to personally witness and experience the power of the risen Saviour. That personal testimony was displayed as we celebrated 25 individuals publicly declaring their faith and following Jesus through the waters of baptism, serving as living witnesses that Jesus reigns and dwells in our hearts today. Whether you are seeking answers or looking to deepen your walk with Christ, this message is a reminder that the tomb is empty, the Good Lord has Risen, and the invitation to "come and see" is open to you today.

What does it mean to declare Jesus as the King of your life today? As we begin Holy Week, Pastor Will reminds us that Palm Sunday is not just a historical event but a global celebration of Jesus as our Messiah, Lord of lords, and King of kings. Pastor Will Sloos explores the "triumphal entry" of Jesus into Jerusalem as recorded in Mark 11:1-11 Using the palm branch as a powerful symbol, Pastor Will explains that for believers, these branches represent deliverance. Just as the crowds in Jerusalem shouted "Hosanna!" (meaning "Save us, now!"), we too exalt the Lord for delivering us out of sin and into His marvelous light . As we prepare for Good Friday and Easter, let this message encourage you to lift up your own "palm of deliverance" and praise the One who has saved you.

When the world feels like it’s shaking beneath your feet, where do you turn for stability? For his first sermon as Senior Pastor at Bethel Pentecostal Church of Ottawa, Pastor Will Sloos explores the truths of Psalm 46. While the world often feels chaotic—with mountains falling into the heart of the sea and waters roaring—this Psalm reminds us that we have a refuge that cannot be moved. Look at verse one of this Psalm: God is a "very present help” in trouble. This isn't just a distant promise of God's existence; it is a declaration of His intense, immediate, and active proximity to us in our moments of greatest need. If you are feeling overwhelmed by the demands of life or the uncertainty of the future, let this message anchor your soul in the truth that our God is with us and He is our refuge.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place? In the final message of his 33-week season at Bethel, Pastor Dean Skinner preaches on the deliverance of the Israelites at the Red Sea. Facing the impassable water in front of them and the Egyptian army behind them, the Israelites were terrified. But God was preparing a miracle that would define their faith for generations. There’s a surprising moment in the text when God tells Moses "Stop praying and move.” While prayer is essential, there are seasons in our lives where God has already heard our cries and is now waiting for our obedience to match His promise.
