Do you trust in God's sovereign plan and His timing? Though ruled by Rome, God sent His Son Jesus to Israel at the right time, and in just the right way to fulfill every prophecy spoken of Him. We may not understand God's ways or timing, but let's reflect on God's sovereignty over the events of the Christmas story and in our own lives today.

Life often feels like a pressure cooker, especially during the holidays. When Mary first heard the news from Gabriel, she could have dwelt on bleak consequences and worse-case scenarios, but instead she chose to recall Scripture, stand on God's promises, and praise. Let's follow Mary's example this Christmas, focusing on worship and generosity, and trusting God to meet our needs.

Mary was a poor, teenaged girl from the humble town of Nazareth, yet she was considered 'highly favored' by God and chosen to bear the Savior of the world! Though confused and disturbed by the angel Gabriel's appearing, she drew comfort from his greeting, reassurance that the Lord was with her, and confidence to accept the news given. Listen in as AJ Crocker unpacks this intimate yet powerful mome...

Waiting is one of the hardest tests of faith. Zechariah and Elizabeth lived in a season of silence and waiting, until God sent an angel to Zechariah telling him his prayers had been heard and his wife would bear him a son in her old age. Their story reminds us that God is always working, even in silence, and His timing is always perfect. Listen in as Pastor Larry launches his Christmas series, 'Th...

While the world offers only fleeting solutions to our worries surrounding finances, relationships, health and the future, Jesus extends an invitation to a peace that is not only lasting but transformative. Listen in and discover how His words and presence can replace your worry with confidence and your fear with faith.

Are you a collector or a connector? Wealth itself is not evil, but greed is. Greed prioritizes self over service, hoarding over helping, collecting over connecting. Jesus warns us that the pursuit of more for the sake of security or status is not only shortsighted by spiritually destructive. Listen in Pastor Larry shares the lesson taught in the parable of the rich fool from Luke 12 to help us pre...

The book of Jude focuses on a battle for freedom. Not a battle that takes place on the battlefield but rather a spiritual battle that's played out in the church. The book was written to Christians facing deception and hostility, much like us today. Listen in as Pastor Larry explores Jude's warnings and encouragements, inspiring us to find strength in God's promises even in times of turmoil.

We see many promises in Scripture for those who believe in Jesus: Peace, joy, freedom, and forgiveness. But often this is not what we experience in our day-to-day lives. Jesus gave us promises but also a pathway to them: Abiding in Him. Listen in as Cher Dombowsky shares God's Word with us!

As human beings, we are subject to forgetfulness. In his letter to the early church, Jude reminds believers not to forget the history of those who compromised the truth - a reminder that is as relevant to us today as it was then. Truth must be reinforced, recalled, and repeated often so that it continues to inform our lives and those of the next generation. Listen in as Pastor Larry unpacks this t...

Anniversaries are a perfect time to reflect on the past, celebrate milestones, and give thanks for God’s faithfulness. But those content to live only in the past miss the opportunities of the present and fail to lay hold on the promise of the future. The writer of Hebrews admonishes us to keep our eyes on Jesus and run the race set before us. Listen in as Dr. Mark Williams, Third Assistant General...

We live in a world that encourages us to grumble, but as believers in Christ, we are called to live differently. Thanksgiving is an intentional decision we must make daily, regardless of suffering and trial. Jesus himself, on the night He was betrayed to be crucified, still gave thanks. Thanksgiving is powerful, building our faith and keeping us in God's will.

Is your faith under fire? The challenges are real, but the truth of the gospel remains unshakable. Like Jude, we are called to contend for the faith, to stand firm against falsehood, and to hold fast to the truth of Jesus Christ. Listen in as Pastor Larry begins a new sermon series through the book of Jude - a short letter with a powerful call to action.

As we wrap-up our series on Romans 8, we look at the closing of Paul’s argument in verses 31-39. Paul gives us great reason to celebrate the work and love of Jesus Christ. The very things that hold us secure despite the many forces at work against us. Listen in as AJ Crocker brings the Word this weekend!

Are you adopted? The Apostle Paul in Romans 8 picks up the theme of adoption from Roman culture and uses it to illustrate how we become children of God and joint-heirs with Christ through the Holy Spirit. Listen in as Pastor Larry unpacks this truth! 

Have you ever struggled to understand why God allows suffering? Romans 8 offers a perspective of endurance and hope, reminding us that the challenges of this present life pale in comparison to the eternal glory that awaits those who believe in Jesus. Furthermore, this present pain has great purpose: to grow us and make us more like Christ. Listen in as Pastor Dwight Cameron unpacks this incredible...

Being a Christian means having a new life: a life transformed and lived in the Spirit. Those who live according to the flesh are enslaved to their sinful nature, but those who set their minds on the things of the Spirit walk in God's righteousness and believe He will meet their needs. So ask yourself, are you living according to the flesh, or are you living according to the Spirit?

In Canada, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees our fundamental freedom of religion, a liberty we must never take for granted. In a greater way, the Holy Spirit offers us liberty from the control of sin on us, offering us forgiveness and goodness. Yet to receive the fullness of this freedom we must continually surrender ourselves to the Holy Spirit's power.

Romans 8 is one of the greatest chapters in the Bible; a multi-faceted diamond of deep truths meant to pour blessing upon blessing on those who study them and walk in them. Romans 8:1 alone is a powerful reminder that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus; a truth that never changes regardless of what comes your way.

The Book of Ruth is all about redemption. All the main characters have suffered loss, who then experience redemption through Boaz, the Kinsman-Redeemer. Boaz is a picture of what Jesus Christ has done for us - the only one qualified to redeem us and pay the debt of sin we could not pay. Feeling discouraged? Listen in as Pastor Larry brings a powerful message of hope!

We all want that picture-perfect life, but what does your story look like from behind the scenes? Ruth's story may appear on the surface to be just a love story, but it's really about God's divine providence and planning. Listen in as Pastor Larry takes us behind the scenes to the greater truth in the story of Ruth.

We do so many things as a church to reach, connect, and support people but we must not lose sight of the main things Jesus commanded - baptizing and discipling. So what does the Bible say about baptism? Listen in as Pastor Larry teaches on this important ordinance and prayerfully consider how you might respond.

The story of Ruth is much more than just a love story - it's a story about how God restores those who look to Him with hope. He is faithful to His people even when we are unfaithful, and is constantly working within the ordinary to accomplish His extraordinary purposes.

It's easy to love those who love you, but it's a challenge to love those you despise. Listen in as Dwight Cameron, our Pastor of Discipleship & Community Outreach, reminds us who our neighbors are and how we can treat them.
