Today is 5 for 5 Sunday - one of our favorite services of the year! We've invited 5 people from the congregation to speak to the church and their unique perspectives, testimonies and messages will be a BIG blessing to you. Plus, each service has a completely different lineup, so be sure to check out "Round 2" right here on our feed! In Round 1, we hear from: Shanna W Mike B Ebby B Dotun A Robyn M

Most people think God is “Love, Love, Love.” Some people think God is “Wrath, Wrath, Wrath.” But actually, the quality most often ascribed to God in the Bible is “Holy, Holy, Holy.” What does that word really mean - and why does it matter? Because - as we will learn in today’s message - the more clearly I see God, the more clearly I see myself!

You can find confidence in a lot of places: wealth, looks, education and more. But the greatest source of confidence we can have is Christ! Join us for the next message in our "Worship Playlist" series and learn how God wants to do miraculous things in you and through you.

If you ever feel captive to a past regret or present circumstance, this message is for you! As we continue our “Worship Playlist” series, pastor Dan reminds us that God is in the business of setting people free.

Life often feels like a war; earthly and spiritual pressures are trying to knock us down every single day. But in the first message of our “Worship Playlist” series, pastor Dan reminds us that although we may find ourselves in the battle, we are not responsible for the outcome. That’s because the battle always belongs to God!

Baptism is a super important step in your spiritual journey, but many people aren’t sure why. In the final message of “Summer Essentials” pastor Dan explains what baptism is, what it isn’t, and most importantly, why you should do it as soon as possible.

Judas is often presented as the super villain of the gospels - after all, he betrayed the son of God for pocket change. But maybe the most interesting part of Judas’ story isn’t what he did, but how Jesus responded to what he did. In this week’s “Summer Essentials” message, pastor Dan reminds us that forgiveness is available to everyone!

Life throws all kinds of pressures at you: relationships, finances, faith, family and more. But there is actually one solution that can solve each of these problems, and God promises to give it freely to anyone who asks for it. What is this miracle answer? Join us for week 4 of “Summer Essentials” to find out!

The parable of the Good Samaritan is well-known (even to many people outside of the church). But Jesus didn’t tell this parable just so we would be “kind” or “helpful” - the true meaning of the story is far more interesting. Join us as pastor Dan continues a study of Luke 10.

Fatherhood can be a tough job and dad’s work hard to provide for their families. But if we aren’t careful, we can end up succeeding at things that don’t matter in the long run. The best dads are the ones who focus on being with their family just as much as doing things for their family.

When we think of the best things to ever happen to us, graduations, weddings and births probably jump to mind. But according to Jesus nothing will ever compare to our salvation. When His grace rewrites our story, we discover new joy, purpose and identity!

Pentecost should probably get as much love in the church as Christmas or Easter, but many Christians don’t even know what the holiday is all about. In today’s message pastor Dan explains why it’s one of the most important days in history, and how it can change your relationship with God!

Considering that we will spend approximately one-third of our lives asleep, you might think we'd be experts at snoozing by now. But every year that passes people get less and worse sleep. Perhaps the reason for our sleeplessness is that we think of sleep as merely a physical process when, according to the bible, sleep is spiritual! Join us for the final message of "Take Back Your Life."

Most people get two days off out of seven. If more than a quarter of your week is free for rest and play, why does it never seem to be enough? Perhaps it's because you weren't meant to merely have a day off, but you were created to have a sabbath. In week 4 of "Take Back Your Life" we'll discuss the differences between the two and how you can rest, recharge and refocus each weekend.

Ever take a day off and feel no more rested than the day before? According to Jesus, that’s because real rest happens in our soul, not just our body. In week 3 of the “Take Back Your Life” series, pastor Dan shares how everyone (especially moms!) can find peace where it matters most.

Ever feel like most of what’s on your calendar was put there by other people? If we aren’t careful, external demands will crowd out personal priorities (even God!) from our schedule. So in week 2 of “Take Back Your Life” we’ll follow the advice of Psalm 90:12 and “count our days” in order to make our days count.

When did “busy” become such a badge of honor? We spend our days hurrying from this activity to that obligation and in the process we become stressed out, maxed out and eventually burned out. That's exactly what your spiritual enemy wants. But Jesus offers us a different way to approach our schedules. It’s time to “Take Back Your Life!”

The death of Jesus seemed to his disciples like the greatest letdown imaginable. But his story didn’t end on Friday (and believe it or not, his story didn’t end on Sunday either!). Join us today for a celebration of hope and healing for all.

Although we promise each other “‘til death do us part,” that isn’t always the reality of marriage. How do we know when a relationship is past the point of no return? Are there biblical reasons to get divorced? What does the bible say about second (or third) marriages? Tune in for the final week of “Relationship Goals” to find out!

You might assume that the Bible only contains negative commands about sex (e.g., “Do not commit adultery”), but according to 1 Corinthians 7, God wants sex in a marriage to be fulfilling, frequent, fun and full of faith. Thanks for tuning in to week 8 of “Relationship Goals.”

We asked you to submit your unfiltered questions on sex and body issues from a Biblical perspective and - wow - did you deliver! Join Pastors Dan and Amber as they answer your questions on topics you never thought you'd hear addressed in church! -- (NOTE: This is a rebroadcast of a February 2018 Connect Calgary service)

Most people in our world think God is opposed to sex. But that’s not what the Bible says! He is the one who created and blessed physical intimacy, giving it a power that should not be taken lightly. In today’s “Relationship Goals” message, we examine sex from God’s perspective.

One of the most common and dangerous problems in a marriage is unhealthy communication. If every conversation in your house seems to turn into an argument, join us for week #6 of “Relationship Goals!”

Developing unity between you and your spouse is God’s priority for your marriage. Why? Because His purpose for your marriage is bigger than either of you could have ever imagined! Join us for week 5 of “Relationship Goals.”

Everyone hopes to find true love someday. But before we find it, perhaps we should articulate what we are looking for. And once you do find True Love, how do you hold on to it? Tune in now to find out in week 4 of “Relationship Goals.”
