God wants to be with us. The Bible is a trustworthy way to be with Him. In the Bible we experience the uniqueness of Jesus.

When Jesus referred to God not only as 'Father' but as 'Abba' (which means 'Daddy') it revolutionized the culture of its day, and His description of His Father as loving, forgiving and gracious continues to bring revolutionary illumination today, the most fatherless generation in history. So whatever idea might come to your mind at the mention of the word 'Father', allow the restorative and redemp...

Have you ever received a gift and never opened it? The Holy Spirit has given each of us gifts designed to equip us for the work of ministry, but it's up to us to know our gifts and grow in them. In today's message, Pastor Larry unpacks the gifts found in the Ministry category: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers.

The life of David was filled with highs and lows. Psalm 23 gives us a look at what following God feels like. This very famous Psalm helps us explore how we can find rest and comfort even in the midst of our darkest of valleys. Join us as AJ Crocker unpacks how the Lord has good plans for each of us!

"Anger is not bad in itself - it has a God-given purpose and is part of our internal mechanism to signal something is wrong and needs to be sorted out." - Nick & Sila Lee Dwight & Marcy Cameron have been married for 19 years and have four amazing children: Gabby, Amara, Olivia, and Hunter. Though they may appear to have it all together, they've definitely had their share of conflict! Dwight overse...

Do you know your spiritual gift? When we receive Christ, we receive Holy Spirit as a gift, who then gives us spiritual gifts to equip us for ministry. But only when we use them in humility and in unity within the Body do we bring glory to Jesus.

It is no secret that our kids are growing up in a radically different world than we did. How do we raise kids that follow Jesus in an increasingly hostile world? How do we impact not only our own kids but generations to come? On our knees and out loud through prayer!

Do you like receiving gifts? God has given each of us spiritual gifts designed to help us serve Him and others. But we must choose to develop them and operate in them by yielding daily to the Holy Spirit.

Who is the Holy Spirit really? The Bible tells us He is the third Person of the Trinity, the Author of Scripture, and the One who comforts, counsels, advocates, convicts and sanctifies us. And yet knowing who He is is only the beginning - He must be experienced to be fully known.

Many things can cause us to lose our zeal for the Lord and what He's called us to - tragedy, opposition, even prosperity. That's why it's good to remind ourselves regularly that we have the fiery presence of Holy Spirit inside us, and our responsibility to keep the flame burning brightly.

Life post-Easter isn't just a little bit different ... it's radically different. In light of these events, nothing can stay the same. Everything is different now: how we see God, how we see the world, and how we live life going forward - it's all new. Listen in as Adam Driscoll brings us the Word this weekend!

When you hear the word, 'home', what comes to mind? As Christians, we have been given the ultimate home - heaven - the hope and peace of which we can share with others right now. This Easter Weekend, Pastor Larry reminds us of the hope of Heaven that we have through the resurrection of Jesus!

Have you ever missed out on a great opportunity, or turned down something only to regret it later? As we celebrate Palm Sunday and enter Holy Week, let's not miss this opportunity to worship more deeply and invest our resources in God's Kingdom more fully.

Have you ever had to face a major fork in the road? A tough decision that you knew would impact the rest of your life? Welcome AJ Crocker as he walks us through counting the cost of following Jesus - a message that he shares and lives out among the youth and young adults he disciples at Briercrest.

Life is a battle, and only by understanding who our Enemy really is and what's at stake can we ever hope to walk in freedom. And it's not even about following rules or trying harder, but about a daily surrender to the Spirit and abiding in God's love. Only then will true, life-giving fruit be produced in our lives.

Our spiritual lives can sometimes get out of alignment. Whether we're prone to legalism or liberalism, we need to continually stand firm in the freedom we have in Christ, daily renewing our commitment to being slaves to righteousness through His grace.

As a bucket, you really only have one job to do: HOLD STUFF. Some days it's heavy work. Some days it's beach work. At the end of the day, the glory isn't in the bucket - it's in the treasure. Join us this weekend as Adam Driscoll encourages us about how our faith is a beautiful treasure ... and how you and I are kind of like buckets.

In the first century, there was not much difference between a child and a slave - it was only when the child grew up did they realize their inheritance as a son of the house. Do you ever feel like that? Join us as Pastor Larry reminds us that we are chosen and beloved sons of God through adoption into His family, and that we no longer need to operate with a works-based slave mindset.

What's the most foolish thing you've ever done? The Galatians were so foolish as to think that the salvation they first received through the Spirit had to be perfected through the works of the Law. Paul reminds us that only by continuing to remain under the Spirit through faith is the Law's curse broken in our life. So remain in Christ - for who the Son sets free is free indeed.

Has worry ever caused you to 'miss the boat'? As believers in Jesus, we are to seek His Kingdom first and trust Him for all we need, including the courage to keep moving forward. Only then can we truly overcome any crisis life brings.

Have you ever needed to stand alone for truth, but chose to remain silent or back away? We are all guilty at some level, including the Apostle Peter. It took the Apostle Paul to confront him directly and publicly in order to make things right. As followers of Jesus let's speak His truth in love, and choose daily to be crucified with Him so that His life may flow from us freely, no turning back.

Where does religious tradition and culture end and the gospel begin? As social and cultural beings, its easy for us to allow rituals and routines to guide our behaviour and beliefs rather than the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. Only He can bring true sanctification to our lives through a deep work on our hearts.

Who doesn't like good news? And the gospel of grace is the best news there is! Only God could have created such a dynamic plan of reckless love, including calling us to Himself. So allow Him to make your story one of good news - it'll be the best decision you'll ever make.

Legalism - people attempting to secure God's approval by good works - has threated to distort the gospel of grace ever since the Church began. Even today, may we not turn the gospel into one of works in reaction to the post-modern culture that surrounds us, because then it becomes no gospel at all. Listen in as Pastor Larry begins a new sermon series through the book of Galatians: Freedom.
