Dwelling in the Shelter of The Most High - Part 1
As COVID continues on and our worlds seem to disintegrate, so many of are feeling a growing sense of unease. The concerns that weigh us down day to day are steadily increasing: family, housing, business, health, and more
The result? We live in a weird ‘reverse momentum’, struggling through the fog of confusion, frustration, and disillusionment that drags us further and further from our hopes.
Psalm 91 is a soothing truth, cool water for those in desperate need of comfort, of truth, and something to rely on.
Love and Respect - Ephesians 5:21-33
The most important counsel on marriage is summarized in Ephesians 5:33, the husband "is to love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband." And do it without conditions. But how do you such a thing? And what does that look like?
Pastor Ross teaches this critical dynamic within marriage and gives some ideas of what it will look like.
An Interview with Jeremy Doorten of e3 Canada about Evangelism
Evangelism is one of those parts of the Christian life that is often scary for people. Intimidated by questions of how, and worried about how it will be received, are often enough to stop us from speaking out.
Jeremy Doorten of ‘e3 Canada’ and ‘I Am Second’ (www.e3ministry.ca) joins us this morning to answer those and other questions and hopefully encourage each of us to trust Jesus as we let our light shine in a dark and hurting world.
Easter and the New Covenant
Easter Sunday is known across the world as Resurrection Day. We celebrate the glorious news that Jesus is Risen! That no grave could hold Him. But it is also the day that we celebrate the truth that because of what Jesus did on the cross, we are now a part of a NEW and much better covenant. A covenant that is based on the finished work of Jesus. Join Pastor Ross as he describes the significance of being in the New Covenant.
Authority, Submission, and Headship - Ephesians 5:22-24
Certain words and ideas can elicit very strong reactions. Few can compare to the reaction of hearing words like; authority, submission, and headship. Yet these are ideas and concepts that are designed by God, and therefore are good. We need to separate what God is telling us been poorly taught. The latter leads to misery, but the former leads life.
Pastor Ross explains how Ephesians 5:22-24 describes why God created authority and what that means for a wife and what it means for a husband.
Mutual Submission - Ephesians 5:21-24
There are few words in the Bible that elicit as strong as a reaction than submission, or suitable helper. The reaction is often a result of not understanding what God is intending with those words and the result has strong negative results in our marriages.
Join Pastor Ross as he begins a multi-week study on marriage, beginning with understanding that submission is a mutual response between husband and wife.
Be Being Filled - Ephesians 5:18-21
What does Paul mean when in Ephesians 5:18 he commands us to be filled with the Spirit?
He is not referring to a second blessing or some special experience - but an invitation in each moment to experience the life of Jesus in us, rather than the emptiness of the flesh.
Worship with Unity - John 4:23-24
How do WE worship God with excellence? It's one thing for us to pursue that as an individual but how do we manage that as a community? We bring so many different histories, habits from shame, and religiosity into the mix - how is it possible.
In part two on the topic of worship, Pastor Robin outlines how God has a plan for worship that ends in unity not perfect performance.
Worship with Excellence - John 4:7-26
John 4:7-26 describes how we worship: by spirit and by truth. But what is worship? Pastor Robin illuminates how we're called to respond properly to the call to worship and how to worship with excellence.
Walk Wisely - Ephesians 5:15-17
Being intelligent is not the same thing as being wise. And having one doesn't guarantee the other. So, the Apostle Paul invites us to walk and live as wise people who make the most of the moment because they know the will of God. Pastor Ross explains this passage and teaches how we might know God's will for today.
