We are kicking off a brand new series all about GOOD NEWS. The gospel, the works of Jesus on the cross for you and me, is such good news, its worth sharing. And YET… it goes deeper! The miracle working power, the good news of change and transformation in our life from Jesus also needs to be shared! We are a good news church in a bad news world and in this series we break down what is the gospel, w...

Love, romance, dating, marriage… everyone’s favourite topic and everyone has their own set of “tips and tricks”  on what a great marriage should look like. But what does God say about marriage? Ps. Lukas breaks down what it looks like to look for love and what a Godly healthy romantic relationship is supposed to look like.

The famous quote “show me your friends and I will show you your future” has never seemed more true. Every person needs good friends, lifting you up, encouraging you as you both run the race of life together with others. But what makes a good friend? What does a Godly healthy friendship look like? In this message Ps. Lukas breaks down who you should want to run the race of life beside in week 3 of...

We all want healthy Godly relationships, but the truth is, without first establishing the most important relationships the others will be challenging. If we can learn what it means to be be in relationship with God, and what that means for our relationships with ourself, THEN the rest of our relationships can fall into place. If you’re feeling like you’re walking through an identity crisis, if you...

Every single one of us is in a relationship. Whether thats friends, family, a boss, our relationship with God or even learning what it means to be in a relationship with ourself. Relationships are the foundation of everyday connection and we all want our lives to be filled with healthy, Godly relationships. As we dive deep into our series, we tackle the overarching concept that when relationships...

As we close our series on freedom we have found ourselves leaning more towards how to stay in step with the Spirit. We recognize that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. So we have to lean in and grow in spiritual disciplines if we want to be spiritually growing… the only question that remains is… HOW?! How do we take steps, big and small towards fostering growth with Jesus. Ps. Luk...

To walk in freedom means to walk with and be consistently filled with the Holy Spirit. So let’s get right into it.. how do we practically live and walk with the Holy Spirit? How do we cultivate a relationship with Jesus? At the end of the day, we can try and use all the spiritual hacks, quick fixes, easy devo plans, but the truth is we are called to steward our walk but enjoying the spiritual disc...

In the last three weeks we have talked that God wants us to have freedom from the past wounds, current battles, and from the enemies attack. Yet we know, even though we can experience freedom from many aspects of our life, living daily in freedom takes the right posture and right practices. Freedom isin’t a one time experience but the beautiful journey of sanctification and it takes the proper pos...

When it comes to freedom the question we all have is, If I am saved and belong to Jesus, why do I still struggle with sin? The truth is, we all struggle, but we can have victory over our flesh. We will never live in freedom over sin, if we do not walk and choose a mindset that comes from the Spirit. Paul tells us, we must consider ourselves dead to sin and alive to Christ, but he never said there...

In week one of our sermon series on freedom, Ps. Lukas helps us understand despite being saved and made new in Christ we are still learning to be set free in our body, mind and soul. Even the apostle Paul struggled in his battle with his earthly flesh but if we want to fully live in the freedom and life that Jesus has for us, we need to learn and fight for our freedom in Christ and it all starts w...

It’s Christmas Sunday and as we wrap up our series on advent we conclude our series talking about the most powerful aspect of any christians life, the love of Christ. It’s hard to fully understand and grasp just how incredible the love of God is. The Christmas story is almost lost on us, and we’ve heard it so many times we almost forget the truth, that God himself came in the form of a baby to be...

"I got joy joy joy joy down in my heart… down in my heart… down in my heart…” Come on, we’ve all sang it, we’ve all heard it, the question is, do I? Do we? It seems as though our weary world struggles to rejoice in the time and day we live in. The beauty of Christmas is that upon Jesus’ arrival we now all have a reason to sing, a reason to rejoice, The messiah has come! We should be rejoice! We tr...

Why is peace SO hard to have? Are we living in some sort of continual paradox? Striving so hard to find simplicity. Pushing through the chaos to find peace? Why does it feel like as soon as we have it leaves? The reality is, if our peace is predicated on our ability, our power, our control, peace will always be hard to grasp. The Prince of Peace comes to us, and gives us a way to have peace and ma...

Every year Christmas comes and every year our emotions go on a massive roller coaster. Excited for the season but overwhelmed with the to-do list, ready for joy and laughter but bogged down with perfection. Trying to strike the balance between enjoying the Christmas season and the chaos of materialism and busyness. The truth is, God sent his son to be with us, Jesus came into a time that was heavy...

At some point, we can no longer let our suffering define us, or dictate our future. It’s not easy or simple, and it takes a lot of leaning into the Holy Spirit. Yet the truth still remains, our pain can have purpose, we can grow and learn from our suffering. At the end of the day, we can have hope again, but it may take something on our part, something we have received and something God calls us t...

Every one of us will walk through hardship, and even though grief and pain has a mind of its own, by God’s grace we can walk a righteous path amidst the suffering and see God move us from trial to triumph. God is the author of life and gets to finish every single person’s story, we must trust him and watch God move in our pain and learn to truly suffer well in His eyes, so we can leave the door op...

We kickoff our series on suffering tackling the hardest most asked question on the topic, “why does God allow suffering in the world?” Ps. Lukas tackles this question both theologically and philosophically helping us see that as we look at every worldview the only one with an answer that brings comfort, healing, hope and restoration is the Christian worldview. The truth is this, God has a master p...

Our final sermon in our homecoming series carries our heart to be a church that always creates space for the next generation to hear and learn about Jesus. There is no Jr. Holy Spirit, God has come to redeem and kick-start revival not just in the older generation but in all of us. We need each other, every demographic, every generation and our heart to is to care and cultivate a culture that bless...

It’s Baptism Sunday! There is nothing better than the good news of Jesus, reaching, healing and bringing salvation to those who are desperate for a real tangible encounter from Jesus.

What does it mean to be radically generous? Is it purely financial? Is it giving beyond our means? In this sermon Ps. Lukas breaks down a well-known verse that is just as much about loyalty to the kingdom as it is about where your money goes. In this message you will also hear a heartfelt update on the growth of our church, the vision of where we are headed and how we can all be radically generous...

The Church was never meant to be something to just come and consume. WE are the church; WE are the body of Christ. A homecoming means every person, and every part of the body plays its part, but our part isn’t bigger than what we are a part of. In this sermon Ps. Lukas challenges us to become contributors and champions to God’s mission and God’s church, because the vision He has for us will take e...
