God sometimes changes our plans so that we might have a part in His plans to change the world. Matt 1:18-25

Have you ever carried guilt around and it just feels like a huge weight on your soul? Maybe you know in your mind that you have been forgiven by God but it sure doesn’t feel like it? One of the ways to be free from that weight and feeling is to confess your sins to other believers. This is what we will learn from James 5:16 this Sunday as it declares, “ Confess your sins one to another and you wil...

Spur One Another on to love and good deeds  (Heb. 10:24)

What is your love language? Nearly 30 years ago, Gary Chapman wrote the book The 5 Love Languages that proposes the way we like to receive love is how we also give love. Those love languages are acts of service, words of affirmation, gift-giving, physical touch and quality time. My love language is words of affirmation. You may think I’m weird, but I actually have kept every one of the encourageme...

Is the word of Christ dwelling in your richly? There are a lot of concerns about money, inflation, debt and the economy. What transcends all of this is that you can be rich as the words of Jesus make a home in your life. Christ’s words affect what we talk about, what we eat, what we wear, what we watch, and what we listen to. And they affect our relationships. When Jesus’ words make a home in our...

We are in for a special treat this week that I believe will go beyond the treats everybody will be canvassing for in our neighbourhoods on Sunday night. Yes, October 31st is Halloween, but more importantly, it is Global Outreach (GO) Sunday. This year we have as our guest speaker Bechara Karkafi who is an ambassador for the gospel to the Arab World. He has been used by God as a catalyst for planti...

What song(s) has God used to speak deeply into your life? Maybe it was a song when you came to faith in Christ or were baptized that has deep meaning for you? Maybe it was a song that spoke to you when you were returning to the Lord? Maybe it was a song when you celebrated with others what God had amazingly done in your lives? Or maybe it was a song that ministered to you when you were in life’s v...

Here’s a quiz question: what is the distinguishing mark of Christ-followers? ANSWER: According to John 13:35 (NLT), “Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” Our love for another is what marks us as followers of Jesus and this is what we will be studying this Sunday.

Happy Thanksgiving! Have you ever felt like you were going to drown? It’s hard to give thanks when you are drowning. Picture it! You are alone, miles from shore, yelling “thanks” in between the bobs and gulps for air. Probably not! Expressions of gratitude are usually not the words coming out of a drowning person’s lips. Words of thanksgiving come AFTER somebody who is drowning is rescued. This Su...

Think back to a time when someone was kind to you. I bet it made a lasting impression on you. You and I have the daily opportunity to be kind as well. Kindness and compassion should always be our response to others because Jesus has been and is so kind and compassionate to us. This is what we will learn and be reminded of from Ephesians 4:32 as Steve Adams will be here to preach this Sunday.

Hospitality! Maybe you have read the news on how the “Hospitality Industry” has taken a massive hit during the pandemic? Certainly travel, hotels, restaurants and all the cottage industries that go with it have experienced financial hardship during these past couple of years. But what about our own practice of hospitality? It probably has been struggling too. Maybe you are out of practice with you...

Agree with One Another  1 Corinthians 1:10

Galatians 5:13 Pastor Kyle Rhora preaching.

Greetings! It might sound rather simple but how we welcome and greet one another is extremely important. I apologize in advance to bring up any painful past but just think back to a time when you weren’t greeted. It sort of feels like you are invisible to people. Steve Adams will help us learn the skill of greeting one another from Romans 16:16. Jesus welcomed us into God’s forever family so let u...

Live in Harmony with One Another. Romans 12:16   Harmony! Why do our ears so appreciate when people sing in unison and create harmony? I think we appreciate harmony because it points us to a greater harmony when people live in unison and ultimately the greatest harmony when we will live together with God and His people forever in the new heavens and new earth in unison. Maybe this is why we a...

Dr. Wayne Baxter teaches us what it means to be family from Romans 12:10.

You are worthy of honour! Why? You are worthy of honour because you belong to Jesus Christ. I love how the ESV commands us in Romans 12:10, “Outdo one another in showing honour.” Can you imagine if we had a competition in our church in trying to honour each other? That would be more fun than winning the Stanley Cup! How can you outdo one another in showing honour? Church Coach Steve Adams will be...

Do you feel accepted? I think this is the longing of every heart - to feel like you belong to another or a group. This week, Pastor Jason will teach us from Romans 15:7 that welcoming and accepting those who are followers of Jesus Christ is a command of God. I love what I heard someone say, “We accept you as you are, but love you enough to want to see you change.”

This Sunday we are starting a new series entitled “One Anothers.” There are a number of practical instructions in the New Testament on how we are to live in relationship with one another and so, Lord willing, for the remainder of the year we hope to learn about and live out these one anothers. This week we will learn how to instruct one another from Romans 15:14.

Eph. 5:21-33

What does it mean to “pray in the Spirit”? Are we just praying in our spirit rather than out loud? Or are we cooperating in our inner being to pray with the Holy Spirit the prayers He wants us to pray? And how do we know if we are effectively praying in the Spirit? Is this simply a matter of being prompted to pray for a fellow believer? Is “praying in the Spirit” a matter of being given words to s...
