Discerning God's Leading
One of the most important skills to develop is learning to discern and know God's voice and His leading. This is made much simpler when you have the right centre of attention. Pastor Ross explores various centres that we might have and contrasts it with when Christ is our centre.
A Christmas Message | Isaiah 9:2-7
Pastor Josh shares a Christmas message of hope and encouragement that the light of Christ can and will shine in the darkness.
Ambassadors for Reconciliation | 2 Corinthians 5:18-21
With Christmas upon us, we are reminded about the mission that Jesus had in coming as part of humanity. The mission of reconciliation, that God now includes us as Ambassadors of His kingdom.
Judging God's Way | 2 Corinthians 5:16-17
The question is not if we judge or not. The reality is that we judge many things everyday. And that's a good thing. Don't judge spoiled milk and you will be sick. Don't judge bad teaching, and you will misunderstand who God is and what He has done.
So the question is not if we are to judge or not, but rather, how does one judge God's way? Fortunately, the Apostle Paul has told us how we are to judge one another in his second letter to the church in Corinth.
What Happened to You on the Cross | 2 Corinthians 5:16-17
It is critical that we understand the exchange that God made with us on the cross. More than trading our sins for forgiveness through Jesus' death, we were included into Christ and therefore participated in His death, burial, and resurrection - allowing us to become new creations. It is this single truth that will set you free from the shame and power of the old self - an old self that is now and forever gone.
Why Does It Matter That Jesus Is A King? | 2 Samuel 24
The term 'King' is lost on our culture. Especially in post- Christendom Canada, the term seems outdated and its implications - lost on our way of life. However, the Bible is not silent on the subject of Jesus' Kingship: a Kingship that demands submission. 2 Samuel 24, explains through an event involving another king, the importance and implications of Jesus' Kingship in our everyday lives.
Questions that Lurk in the Shadows | Mark 5:21-43
Everyone experiences heavy emotions that cloak painful, threatening questions… questions about ourselves, and God. Mark 5:21-43 is the story of a desperate father whose daughter dies before Jesus can heal her. Join Pastor Josh in this hopeful, vulnerable exploration of shadowy questions that lurk in the darker corners of our hearts.
Give Me Your Burden | 1 Peter 5:6-7
Pastor Ross uses an analogy of the cloaks of burdens that we collect through our life, and how it weighs us down - that is until we discover what it means to humble ourselves under the might hand of God.
A Love that Compels | 2 Corinthians 5:11-15
There is not power or force that is greater than the love of God. It came and rescued us when we were lost. It comes without conditions. And it is always greater than you can imagine. And this love will compel us to share it with others.
A Sure and Steadfast Anchor for the Soul | Hebrews 6:11-20
The writer of the book of Hebrews encourages the battled-hardened Jewish Christians not to back down in the face of opposition. He encourages them not to give up on righteousness by faith because there is less opposition going back to the law. Ever felt like that? Pastor Robin illustrates the pastoral message in Hebrews 6: 11-20 to strengthen the hearts of all of us to cling to our living hope.
