Micah was a prophet in Judah during an especially turbulent time. God's people wavered between obedience and rebellion. Micah brought a message from God to His people during a time of rebellion that challenged whether God's children really knew their God or merely knew about Him. In response to God's questions, as to whether are rebelling against Him the children of Israel ask the question, "With...

Today we conclude a series entitled "Summer Classes in the Kings' Court", in which we have explored the stories of Israel's lesser known kings, by looking at the reign of King Josiah.

Today we will look at the reign of King Hezekiah, whose good reign is summarized with the statement that he "trusted in the Lord" (2 Kings 18:5). There is a prayer of Hezekiah recorded in Isaiah 38 where he specifically praises God for His faithfulness (v. 19-20).

A look into Nehemiah 1 and Pastor Isaac from Mexico City & Huixuilucan shares with us.

Today we will look at the reign of King Joash, whose early years led to a very godly period in an otherwise bleak era in Judah's history. Unfortunately, after such a good start, the reign of Joash ended poorly

Today we will look at the reign of King Ahab, who is introduced as the ruler that significantly promoted the worship of Baal in Israel. In many ways, the worship of Baal was a religious form of materialism, which can be seen as the pursuit of well-being through the accumulation of external "stuff".

We begin today with King Jeroboam and see how life offers a very important lesson on the subtleties ad dangers of compromise.

The bible tells us that if we trust in God with all our hearts, He will make our paths straight. Today we will look at the story of Ananias and how he was faced with what he perceived to be a potentially life-threatening challenge. We will see how Ananias responded to this task with trust and obedience and how God made his path straight. We will look at how this story is relevant to us today. It g...

Over the last number of weeks we have given attention to being in right relationship with God, one another, and our neighbour. Along the way, we have had opportunities to have our own life changed as we faithfully follow God's leading. Today we will look closely at how God's compassion towards us allows us to be empowered to compassionately come alongside others.

Jesus shared the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) to a group of people who were looking for an easy answer. His answer wasn't what hey expected, and it gives us a glimpse into how we called to reach out to our neighbours.

Looking at the directions Jesus gave us to go out and impact the neighbours around us.

As a church, we have purposed to be in "right relationship with our neighbours." We are currently in a series of messages exploring a passage (Luke 10: 1-24) where Jesus sent out seventy-two of His followers to the neighbouring towns in what proved to be a very influential venture. In Jesus' instructions to those He sent, He offered important teaching what is involved in effective outreach. Over t...

As a church, we are currently exploring what it means to be in "right relationship with our neighbours." In the coming weeks, we'll look at passage in Luke 10 where Jesus sends His followers into neighbouring towns to forge relationships through which people could come to know His transforming love and truth. We begin today by looking at the compassionate heart of God that is the starting point of...

If your neighbour were to ask you "What is the Christian life all about," how would you respond?

As a church, we want to be in "Right Relationship with our neighbours." This can easily lead to conversations that raise questions about our faith. We are currently in a series exploring some of these questions. Today we take a closer look at the question on our hearts and those of our neighbours: "Where do I belong?"

Romans 1:20-23, Eccl. 3:11, Acts 19: 16-34

While we can't provide absolute proof in the existence of the God of the Bible, there are many clues in our world that point to his existence....

Must we choose between faith and evidence?

Today we will look at the issue, "If God is good, why is there so much suffering in the world?"

On this Easter Sunday we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and recognize how absolutely foundational it is to the saving truth and eternal hope of Christianity. (1 Cor. 15:1-5)

Throughout our ministry year, we are focusing on our three key priorities, "Right Relationship - With God, With One Another and With Our Neighbour." Today we begin our focus on being in right relationship with our neighbour as we explore God's heart for the neighbourhood outside the boundaries of "His people".

During this year, we are focusing on what it means to be in "right relationship with one another." Paul's description of the "fruit of the Spirit" (Gal. 5:22-23) offers a powerful vision of what Christian community can look like. Today we come to the fruit of "self-control," which is often associated with trying harder to be more disciplined, often so that we can more effectively accomplish our ow...

As we journey through the "fruit of the spirit", we come today to the fruit of "gentleness", or "meekness".

When we understand our reality (what we have been saved from) and our identity (who we have become in Christ) from God, a spirit empowered response of total surrender becomes manifested in our lives.
