He calls us to a life of rest, letting Him do all the hard work that we could never do. The work we do is...

Sunday, December 21, 2025 Jordan Weeks Exclusive Christmas | Jesus is THE life John 14:6-7; 11:17-27 Jesus announced himself as THE life.

Sunday, November 16, 2025  Jordan Weeks Move of God | Opposition Ezra 4.1-6.12 The work of rebuilding was opposed by some and formally stopped by a king.

Sunday November 9, 2025 Big Church Gathering | The Essential Baptism Dwight Bernier Mark 1:9-13 The baptism of Jesus was essential and instrumental for His ministry.

Move of God | Freedom Sunday, Oct 26, 2025  Jordan Weeks Ezra 2.1-70 This is a passage filled with names and numbers, which shows us that God is interested in precisely knowing who and how many are present.

Body Image | Incarnation & Resurrection Sunday, October 12, 2025 Jordan Weeks Philippians 2.5-11; 1 Corinthians 15 When Jesus came to minister, He came in a body.

Body Image | Created & Designed Sunday, September 28, 2025 Geoff Wright Genesis 1, Psalm 139.13-16 God has intentionally created and designed your body.

Sunday, September 21, 2025 Jordan Weeks Death, Clothing, and New Hearts Genesis 3; Ephesians 4.17-32 Our bodies will all experience death.

Dissatisfaction (Body Series) Sunday, September 14, 2025 Brian Stegner Exodus 20:4, 17 Though God made us excellently, we determined that we didn’t want to live under His design.

Vision & Values Sunday, September 7, 2025 Jordan Weeks Colossians 1:15-2:5 This sermon covers the five values we claim as a church.

Genuine Faith | Contending Sunday, August 24, 2025 Tim Hull Jude 1-16 We live in an evil world. People have wicked hearts. It has been this way since the beginning of the rebellion. We are in a real spiritual battle. But we are called to be those who contend for the faith.

Genuine Faith | FALSE Sunday, August 10, 2025  Jordan Weeks 2 Peter 2:1-22 There are many who will want to twist what is true about God into messages that benefit them.

Sunday, July 27, 2025  Genuine Faith | True Brian Stegner 2 Peter 1:16-21 What we have in the Scriptures are the very words of God. This word has been confirmed over millennia by the people of God. It is so important that we understand what the word of God says so that we might know what is true.

Sunday, July 13, 2025 Genuine Faith | Humility 1 Peter 5:1-14 There is no position in this world that should cause pride to rise up. Rather, as followers of Jesus we are to clothe ourselves with humility. This clothing defines us as we lead, follow, or find ourselves needing to resist the enemy. To those who humble themselves, God will strengthen and establish them. 

Genuine Faith | Godly Living Sunday, July 20th, 2025 Peter Smith 2 Peter 1:1-15 As we follow Jesus, the Spirit intends to make us look more like Him.

Genuine Faith | Suffering Sunday, June 29, 2025 Tim Hull 1 Peter 3:8-4:19 Christ suffered on our behalf. As we live as followers of Him in this world, we too will experience suffering.

Our suffering should not happen because of livi...

Genuine Faith | Marriage Sunday, June 22, 2025 Jordan Weeks 1 Peter 3:1-7 Marriage is God’s idea. He directed it to be between a man and a woman, who are very different from one another. It is in this union where we learn mutual submission, honour, and beauty that is internal and eternal.
