Pastor Paul continues the series on Anchors, spending this Sunday on the topic of prayer.    

We long for God to form us into a people who love and belong as we Live in Community, and keep us rooted in Jesus as we Be Faithfully Present wherever God has placed us. But when the Bible has been used against people, or we find it hard to understand, how do me make it an anchor in our lives?  As Pastor Paul Morgun continues to take us through the Anchors series, we continue to discuss why the Bi...

The anchor is one of the earliest symbols Christians used to express their faith, a picture of hope, steadfastness, and a life held secure in Jesus. Pastor Paul Morgun starts by reminding us of the importance of God the Trinity as one of the anchors in our lives and walks with God.

Pastor Curtis Anderson takes us through the final movement regarding embodying the love of Jesus wherever God has placed us. Jesus continually noticed the people around Him. He ate with outsiders, touched those others avoided, welcomed children, dignified the forgotten, cared for the poor, and moved toward people with compassion. To be faithfully present means learning to live with that same postu...

Pastor Paul Morgun uses this movement to remind us that the Christian life was never intended to be lived alone. From the beginning, Jesus formed a community around Himself. The early church did not simply gather for teaching once a week; they shared meals, prayed together, cared for one another, practiced generosity, carried one another's burdens, and opened their lives to each other. This Moveme...

Spiritual growth is not primarily about knowing more about God, becoming more religious, or simply trying harder to be a better person. At its heart, spiritual formation is about learning to live with God, receiving His love, becoming increasingly attentive to His presence, and allowing the Spirit to form the life of Jesus in us. This Movement is reflected in practicing rhythms of life, embracing...

Kick-Off Sunday is a celebration of a new season at Lakeview, a chance to gather, reconnect, and look with anticipation toward what God has for us in the year ahead. And as we step into this new season, we are introducing some new language that we hope will help give shape to how we live our mission together: Our Movements. At the heart of these Movements is the invitation Jesus has always given:...

Dr. Santosh Ninan takes us through our final sermon in our Exodus summer series. Throughout Exodus, God rescues, provides, guides, forgives, and forms Israel so that He might dwell in the midst of them. The tabernacle becomes a kind of new Eden, a sacred space where heaven and earth overlap and God’s presence is with humanity once again. Jesus ultimately becomes the fulfillment of this story. In H...

Dr. Santosh Ninan takes us through the events after the golden calf. Where God reveals His character at the very moment Israel least deserves it. After the rebellion of the golden calf, Yahweh describes Himself as “compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in faithful love and truth.” God’s holiness is not separated from His mercy; His justice and compassion exist together within His co...

Pastor Darlene Klassen takes us through Exodus 32, discussing how we often make idols that are more manageable when God feels distant. Israel does not outright reject Yahweh; instead, they reshape Him into something visible, familiar, and controllable. The golden calf becomes a tragic picture of the human tendency to trade trust, surrender, and faithful waiting for gods we can predict, manipulate,...

Amy Bratton goes through the detailed instructions surrounding the priesthood, the garments, and the tabernacle are not random religious rituals, but part of God’s desire is to dwell among His people and make Israel into a “kingdom of priests” for the sake of the world. The priests were meant to represent humanity before God and represent God before humanity,  bearing responsibility, holiness, rec...

Today, Krista-Dawn Kimsey leads us in the service, to remind us that liberation takes longer than escape. In Exodus 17–19, Israel may be out of Egypt, but Egypt is still shaping their fears, desires, and imagination. In the wilderness, God desires to form them into a different kind of people, teaching them trust instead of fear, dependence instead of self-preservation, and community instead of sla...

Randy Klassen begins August with this discussion that the God who delivers His people is also the God who sustains them. In Exodus 16, Yahweh not only feeds Israel in the wilderness, but begins reshaping their hearts and imagination. Every day, they are invited to trust that God will provide enough for today, learning dependence instead of control, generosity instead of hoarding, and community ins...

Matt Stovall takes us through one of the most famous stories in Exodus at the shores of the Red Sea. Here, God reveals Himself as the One who makes a way where we can't see one. Trapped between Pharaoh’s army and the waters, Israel discovers that deliverance will not come through their own strength, but through the intervention and provision of God. And in many ways, the Red Sea becomes a picture...

Pastor Aeden Chan takes a break from the worship team to bring us our fourth sermon in the Exodus series. Discussing the plagues on Egypt and how Yahweh exists in ways that are hard, humbling, and deeply beautiful. At the same time, the plagues become a powerful declaration of God’s authority over creation and his unwavering commitment to lead and guide His people.

Santosh Ninan brings the third instalment in our teaching series on Exodus: The Story Behind Jesus. The burning bush is a powerful moment of God stepping personally into Moses’ story while also stepping into the larger story of an enslaved people. God meets Moses in his shame, fear, and hiding… but at the same time commissions him to become part of God’s work of deliverance and redemption for othe...

Exodus is the story of God’s people then and still the story of God’s people now. Pharaoh and Egypt become this picture of the powers that work against God’s desire for human flourishing and freedom, much like the ways the powers and principalities and the patterns of our world still pull people toward oppression, fear, and slavery today. And yet, over and over again, God chooses to partner with u...

Pastor Paul Morgun kicks off the summer series explaining how the Exodus drama is the framing event for the ministry of Jesus. Why care about an ancient Hebrew liberation story? Because if you want to understand Jesus, you’ve gotta understand Exodus.

Several members of Lakeview staff gather to guide us through the plans for the next year, including our postures, movements, finances, and how we want to encourage and inspire growth in our communities via mentorship and bringing up young leadership. Our next season is one we are very excited to execute and develop with the whole church community.

Today Pastor Darlene Klassen and Pastor Curtis Anderson lead us as we celebrate more of our community. Carrying on from Celebration Sunday, we witness baptism and testimonies of some of our Local Engagement partners and their volunteers to see how we are following our "Outward" posture to go and join God in His story and plans in our community.

As we reflect on the previous year and what God has been doing in our church, we hear stories of those from our Daycare, Worship Team, Young Adults Volunteers, Home Church members, and even the Saskatoon Public School Division on how Lakeview church has been helping our community. We also hear the story of one getting baptized on this day, showing how God is also working one us personally as well...

In this final sermon of Grace & Peace, Pastor Paul Morgun shares about how in the middle of conflict, Apostle Paul invites the Church in Philippi to humility, reconciliation, and unity. Grace received becomes grace extended. And as we receive God’s grace, we are formed into people of peace, learning to trust, to reconcile, and to depend on Christ in every circumstance.

Pastor Curtis Anderson takes us through Apostle Paul's invitation to be citizens of Heaven. This is an invitation to reorient where our lives are anchored, not to escape the world or neglect it. Heaven is the transcendent place where Jesus is King of creation, and to belong to Him means we now live as citizens of His Kingdom here and now.

Pastor Chandra Styles takes us through the next section of Philippians, exploring how God's grace reshapes our mindset, postures, and relationships. We begin to let go of selfish desires, and take on the posture of Christ. And the result is peace, not just inner calm, but a shared life marked by unity, humility, and wholeness.

As we go through the book of Philippians, Pastor Paul Morgun introduces the letter and the world in which it was written. How becoming citizens of the Kingdom of God was not like the power and prestige that came from being citizens of Rome. Grace being from the love of God, and peace being what grows out of that grace, only made possible through Christ.
