In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we see tons of people: family, friends, coworkers, strangers. We see them… but do we really see them? How much do we really pay attention to the people around us, especially those people who are struggling and need? Today we explore Jesus’ provocative question, “Do you see…?"

How many of us have gone to Jesus looking for an answer? If you look through the bible, Jesus actually asks more questions than he gives answers - 307 times to be exact! This week we start our new sermon series: Jesus is the Question, where we explore questions Jesus asked and why these questions are so life-changing.

In the final week of our Fixer Upper series we are exploring how renovated hearts leads to restored relationships. The work of renovation isn’t a DIY project: we need good people in our lives to help us grow. So, how can we create life-giving relationships while restoring broken ones as well?

The most visible part of any reno project is the exterior. Nobody sees the plumbing, they see the fixtures. Nobody sees the wiring, they see the lights. The same thing happens when we undergo a spiritual renovation in our heart. Eventually, those changes inside us will show up on the outside: in our behaviours, decisions, and choices. Are you ready to make real changes in your life?

99% of the decisions we make are not based on facts or truth but are rooted in emotions/feelings. Joy, fear, love, acceptance, anger, greed, are all different forms of emotions we experience in our life, and all of them affect our spiritual health. Luke Lima, a student at Wycliffe College, will teach us that managing our emotions is essential to renovating our spiritual lives.

A major renovation often involves rewiring in order to fix something broken, or make something old become new again. This is no different from a major renovation of the heart - transforming our lives requires rewiring our thoughts; and this may mean changing the ideas, images, and information that we currently hold onto. Join us for this episode as Rob Hurkmans talks to us about renewing our minds...

Renovations aren’t cheap! The cost of labour, time and materials need to be carefully weighed out before beginning a project. Spiritual formation is no different. Before we invite Jesus to renovate our hearts and remodel our lives, we need to realize that this kind of spiritual renewal comes with a cost. The question is, are we willing to pay the price? This week, our summer student Erikan Olaye h...

This week, we began a new sermon series titled Fixer Upper - Renovation of the Heart. Rob talks to us about our spiritual houses, places where if we let God in as our general contractor, our 'dream spiritual house' can be a reality. And after all, we're all in need of some TLC, because we are all 'fixer uppers'.
