What do you do after you’ve caught a vision of Jesus? In our culture, it had become increasingly easy to get lost in our own desires and problems - even after we’ve seen Jesus. But rather than keeping the good news to ourselves, he calls us to look beyond ourselves and sends us out to find those who need an encounter with him. This message was preached by Travis Holownia on July 16, 2023. Bible Ve...

Are you shocked by the offensive nature of the cross? The blessing found in Jesus’ love includes his invitation to eat his flesh and drink his blood. We must allow ourselves to be startled by this reality, shake off our complacency and step into a greater freedom in receiving his life. This message was preached by Ryan Johnson on July 9, 2023. Bible Verses: Luke 22:14-19 John 6:52-58 Hebrews 10:11...

The gospel of a Jesus changes everything! When we hear it often, it’s easy to become familiar with the language of the good news, and numb to the reality of Jesus. In time our faith erodes and we don’t live with the same passion we did at first. However if we allow it to wake us up, it will invigorate us to live according to his vision – for his kingdom to come on earth as it is in heaven.  This m...

Ryan teaches on the difference between our calling and purpose. The Father’s vision for us is to be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God, while our purpose flows from that place. When we aim to do the Father’s will, we will always be walking in our purpose – filled with rest, satisfaction and fulfillment. This message was preached by Ryan Johnson on June 25, 2023. Bible Verses: Ephesia...

This week, Ryan encourages us to step out in faith to remain in the vision of our lives – which is ultimately Jesus himself. Like when Jesus calls Peter out onto the water, his vision is that we would lock eyes with him and stay standing over the water, not to sink. The grace that calls us out is the same grace that sustains us on the water.   This message was preached by Ryan Johnson on June 18,...

Continuing in Habakkuk 2:2, Ryan talks about the importance of writing down the promises and vision that God has shown us for our life. When we write them down, we are reminded that there is a reality greater than our current experience, especially in the moments when it's tempting to settle for less. We are then able to find clarity within ourselves and find accountability with one another, so th...

How has God been faithful to you? Just as it’s instructed in Habakkuk 2:2, Ryan speaks to the faith that arises when we write down what God has done. We are called to remember well, not merely for history to stay in past, but for the record. God designed our memories, so that we would remember his faithfulness when we face our struggles in the present, in the future and for the generations to come...

Why is it that our instructions from Joshua 1:9 are to be strong, courageous and to not be discouraged? It may mean that whenever God takes us to new ground, we’ll need to face that of which will test our outermost limits. However, the revolution comes when you realize it isn’t you that needs to break those chains of fear but trusting in the one who has called you to those moments of surrender.  T...

God has always partnered with humanity in the flourishing of his kingdom on the earth, and it’s no different today. This week, Tim Gonsalvez talks about how the Holy Spirit is still doing the same thing through the church, by empowering ordinary people like us with his gifts. When we recognize the spiritual gifts that he has given us, we can walk in the fulfillment of purpose and joy that God has...

Do you know how God sees you? This week, Hans Vlasveld talks about loving and seeing ourselves the way God made us and agreeing with it. Jesus has come to restore the identity that the Father has given us. When we choose to receive this identity, we are able to experience more of his freedom and truly love our neighbour as ourselves. This message was preached by Hans Vlasveld on May 7, 2023. Bible...

This week, Ryan addressed the simplicity of prayer. At times, it can feel difficult to pray and the promises of God seem out of reach. In this tension, there is an opportunity to simplify our approach to prayer and deepen our engagement with him. At the heart of prayer is relational connection with God. This message was preached by Ryan Johnson on April 30, 2023. Bible Verses: 2 Chronicles 7:14 Jo...

This week Ryan proposed the question of what it means to receive God's name, and highlighted the how essential it is to walk in our identity as sons and daughters. This identity is often revealed in the face of opposition, as scripture reveals how devastating compromise can be. Agreeing with God about who we are in him leads to standing firmly in victory.
