January 28/24 2 Corinthians 8:1-14 & 9:6-15 We are called to uncomfortable giving. Our generosity ought to cost us something. It ought to limit our ability to engage in every luxury and comfort we desire. At times it may require great sacrifice, but be assured that, even though generosity may cost us our comfort, we are able to help others, receive so much more in return, and return thanks to...

Jan 21/24 Matthew 18:21-35 Jesus responds to Peter's question about forgiveness with a parable. We have been forgiven much and are called to forgive others as well. There is much at stake when we choose to hold a grudge instead of forgive. There is no benefit to you by refusing to forgive others! Included are some practical steps toward forgiving those around you. Pastor Scott Isaak

Dec 10/23 John 14:25-27; 16:33 Isaiah 9:2-7 It is advent season! This time of eager anticipation as we approach Christmas. God has come to humanity as the baby Jesus.

The birth of Jesus has already challenged the assumptions...

Nov 26, 2023 Habakkuk 2:1-3:19 Hebrews 10:37-39 Continuing on from Habakkuk's two complaints we find out what God's plans are for the evil empire of Babylon. This is also a message for all evil empires that become like Babylon. Living in a world where evil empires exist we can learn from Habakkuk's example; live by faith and praise God in the turmoil.

Nov 19, 2023 Update of what is happening at Simonhouse Bible Camp as well as a message from director - Darrell Janzen - about culture creep in the church.

Habakkuk 1:1-2:1 John 11:1-15; 32-35; 38-44 Habakkuk was a prophet to the kingdom of Judah. His message is recorded as two complaints to God and the responses received back from God. When the world around us is in chaos we can call out to God in all of our raw emotions, but then we watch, wait and listen for God's response. God sees and knows the situation, hears our plea and cares through act...
