What do you do with matters of the soul?  Is it easier to ignore the issue, to compensate or escape?  Join us this week as guest speaker Doug Balzer helps us to examine God’s heart for us to overcome guilt and shame.

Ask people how they are doing and if you get a response beyond “Good” it will often include words like tired, busy, running, or I need a vacation. We often wear those descriptions almost as a badge of honour. We seem to think any other response would indicate we are lazy or unproductive. Is that the life we were created for? Always running, always worn out, always feeling like we never have quite...

We all want to experience the fullness of God and live out of the power of the Holy Spirit. But how do we do that? Are some of us more in touch with the Holy Spirit? Do others have more faith to see Him move in supernatural ways? The secret is, there is no secret. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in everyone who has put their faith in Christ! But how we respond to that power is...

As we begin a new series, ‘The Spirit-Filled Life,’ exploring the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives, it’s helpful to understand the dynamic within the Trinity itself of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Often people get hung up on the metaphysics of how there can be one God, yet three Persons, and miss the more fundamental and important truths of why it matters to us in the first place that God exis...

This Sunday, we conclude our Seed Project series with the Big Day of Giving. Come and hear stories of how God richly accomplished incredible miracles through those who were obediently willing to sacrifice for others. And the benefit it brought them. For more information on The Seed Project or to make a commitment now - click the link above.

In John 12:24, Jesus said: “I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernels—a plentiful harvest of new lives.” The Seed Project is all about our desire to see ‘a plentiful harvest of new lives’ ...but in order for new life to happen, Jesus’ illustration of the seed reminds us that first a death must occur...

Each and everyone of us is shaped and impacted by the places that we come from. For some there is a great sense of national or cultural pride that they identify with. Where we come from begins to set for us a foundation that we stand upon as we enter into the world we live in. It shapes how we view and interact with the world. It has impacted us with a legacy that we are carrying forward. What abo...

After nearly 6 years of praying, preparing, and planning, we are on the cusp of a new chapter in our building redevelopment effort – The Seed Project. While we are excited about some of the new possibilities that will open up for us in the future, this project has never been ultimately about a building – Jesus’ focus has always been on our hearts. Come and be reminded of some of the journey Jesus...

Often when we think of generosity, we tend to think of something tangible of material value.  Though Jesus sometimes chooses to extend generosity in this way, this pales in comparison to the extravagant generosity He gives by offering Himself.  Join us as Pastors Jeremy and Lisa conclude our series Captivated by Jesus.

Ask any average church-goer to describe the top 5 characteristics of Jesus and most will include ‘humble’ in their list. We can quickly give mental ascent to His humility but we often don’t understand what this meant for Him in the details. Join us this week as Pastors Jeremy & Lisa reflect on the staggering humility of the incarnation of Jesus and its implications for us.

In a world dominated by pressure to be ‘politically correct’ and where people often choose to pull away from people rather than speak to difficult relational issues, Jesus models another way to be human. Jesus – who is the Truth – wants to set us free from our delusions so that we can enter more fully into the Kingdom of God with Him. Pastors Jeremy and Lisa continue our series ‘Captivated by Jesu...

To what extent do you generally think of Jesus as a person of irrepressible joy? How might we read the gospels differently – and interpret our own interaction with Jesus differently – if we truly experienced the full measure of His joy within us? Join us this week as Pastors Jeremy and Lisa invite us to consider these things afresh.

Have you ever found yourself in a dire situation where, if you would have taken your own advice, you could have avoided it?  This Sunday we will be exploring how the choices leading to King Solomon’s fall may be the very choices we face everyday.  How do you recover from your own poor choices?  How do we make the right choices?

No one today, if offered wisdom, would say no.  We are all looking to be wiser in our finances, relationships and everyday situations.  Everybody wants to be known as someone who makes wise choices.  But what exactly is wisdom, and how do we get more of it?  As we look at the rise of Solomon, we’ll see how the kind of wisdom we should all desire comes from God, and that although the world around c...

I think most of us would say that there are some things in our lives that we hope others would not find out about - the actions of our youthful foolishness or decisions made at a time when clear thinking wasn’t so clear. How would you respond when those decisions or actions got called out by a friend? Most of us would probably look for some place to hide.  Join us this Sunday as we look at David’s...

King David was a great King, a man after God’s own heart.  But even he experienced how a seemingly simple compromise can lead to greater sin and heartbreak.  Come and hear Pastor Lisa share from  some of the lessons that we can learn from King David’s life.

The Rise of King David.  How did David move from a Zero to a Hero?  What shaped David’s childhood life that would later gain him the title, “A man after God’s own heart?”  We will be learning about God's planned  purpose for David’s life and God's planned purpose for you.

There are many different places we can receive identity from. Knowing and living out of our true identity, the one given to us by God is where abundant life is found and living out of any other identity can lead to pain and compromise. Come and hear Pastor Lisa share how we see this play out in the life of King Saul.

Has there ever been a time in your life where you have taken a moment to look back and wondered how did I end up here? Sometimes those moments are good, other times not so much. This Sunday we are taking a look at the early interactions with the life of Saul and how the role of leadership actually found him and set him on a course to the throne as King of Israel.

How often as a child did you hear the statement, “When you get older?” There are many things in life that we can only do once we reach a certain age. These can be as exciting as getting on the big rides at the amusement park or as important as voting. It is a general consensus that as we get older we have probably grown in our mental capacity and ability to make wise decisions and choices. Yet in...

This week we conclude our study on the greatest talk ever given, the Sermon on the Mount, in our Jesus Manifesto series. In Jesus’ final words to us, he makes two statements: 1) Everyone builds a life, and 2) Everyone faces a storm. The question is, when the storms of life inevitably come, what foundation will you have built your life upon? Join us on Sunday as we consider the call of Jesus to lis...

True or false? How is a person to know the difference? In a time that the words "fake news" gets thrown around, it is hard to know where to look or how to discern truth from fiction. This week as we continue our Jesus Manifesto series we are going to look at what Jesus had to say about how we can tell the difference between the two.

As we continue our study of Jesus’ most provocative teaching found in the Sermon on the Mount, this week we’ll be considering what is one of the most troubling passages for many people in our day. In Matthew 7:12-14, Jesus talks about the ‘narrow gate that only a few find.’ The deep concern that a lot of thoughtful people have about Christianity is that it calls certain beliefs wrong and calls cer...

Ask for anything? Have you ever asked for something and never got what you wanted? Has that diminished your hope, caused you to wonder if you would ever get what you hoped for? Join us this Sunday as we look at what Jesus has to say about asking and the response we can expect from him.

This week we dive back into our Sermon Series looking at the Sermon on the Mount, The Jesus Manifesto. We are in the last chapter of the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 7:1-6. Once again, Jesus is speaking into real time issues that we all face. Though it’s unlikely any of us think of ourselves as judgmental or condescending, Jesus once again has a way of exposing our true hearts, helping us see thin...
