In Canada, churches are closing, yet statistics tell us that people are seeking spirituality more than ever before. Unfortunately, people seek to satisfy their thirst for significance in all the wrong places. Jesus calls out from the cross that he is thirsty. This was not just a physical need he had, he was pointing us to something deeper. Jesus' thirst reminds us that our souls also thirst, l...

Our world suffers from a loneliness epidemic that worries doctors more and more as it significantly harms your health. We often look for answers to cure this problem on a horizontal level, but what if it is much more profound? What if this loneliness epidemic has a deeper and more spiritual root than you knew? In this message, we look to a passage in the Bible when Jesus faced a moment of abandonm...

Relationships are hard, and often, we cannot help but think that since I've been wronged many times, it is time to place myself first. Sadly, when everyone is looking out for number one, we start walking all over each other. In Jesus' final moments on the cross, He set a beautiful counter-cultural example. In this message, we look at His last words to some of His followers and learn how th...

Suffering and pain have a way of making us wrestle with ourselves and with God. Who am I becoming in my darkest moments? How should I view God in all of this? Does God care about my suffering? Does He offer any hope in times of deep pain? Perhaps you've also wrestled with questions like this before. In this message, we look at what Jesus (in His final moments, before His death on the cross) ha...

In this new series leading up to Easter, we are looking at the last words of Jesus as he hung dying on the cross. His first words reveal the incredible grace and mercy God extends to broken, sinful people. Jesus asked his Father in heaven to forgive those who brutally beat him and nailed him to the cross to die. His example is a model for how we need to forgive others. Are you a forgiving person?...

It's easy for us to explain who Jesus was when referring to the Bible, but what can we learn about Jesus without opening the Bible? What does non-biblical history tell us about Jesus, or do they even mention Jesus in ancient history? Let's explore this captivating topic together.

One of the biggest questions we can ask is whether God exists or not. How would we even begin to explain our belief in God? Let's explore if we can reasonably and logically conclude that God exists, and if we can achieve this without opening the Bible!

Have you ever decided to rest well, but then all the questions start? What exactly does rest mean? What should I avoid doing? What can I do? Rest does not need to be complicated, but it does need to leave you refreshed. In the final part of this series, you learn how to fill all your tanks without making rest a complicated thing.

Humans find it hard to buy into something if we cannot see why it would benefit us. The same goes for God's rules: we struggle to follow them if we do not know why they are good. So what about rest? It should be evident that we need it, right? But what about taking 1 day out of 7 off to find refreshment in Jesus? Are there real benefits to that? In the second part of this series, we see how fo...

These days, most people feel exhausted, stressed out, and burnt out. We are always busy, never unplugged, never off, never quiet, and always unrested. Maybe you have seen the effect of exhaustion in your life where you are less creative, less intuitive, less productive, have a short fuse, and are never really present. What if there is a different way? What if this problem exists because we are wor...

We live in a culture where criticism and cynicism seem to be the best way to increase your ‘views’ or ‘likes’ on social media. The Bible calls followers of Jesus to a different standard. As we begin a new year, Pastor Win challenges us to make a resolution to be people who encourage one another.

The end of a year is usually a time of reflection. We look back to review what we’ve accomplished, and we look ahead to plan for a new year. Unfortunately, the uncertainties of the future can often overwhelm us. Whether it is health issues, financial instability, or broken relationships, we often grow anxious trying to deal with these uncertainties on our own. In this message, Pastor Win encourage...

We all know about Santa’s naughty and nice list - when you are nice you get what you want and when you are naughty you get a lump of coal. Sadly we often view much of life, and even faith, through these same filters and it can leave us wondering if we are ever good enough for God to truly love us. What if we could let go of our fears of being good enough and live with the certainty that God loves...

Did you know that living with joy is a choice? Our culture teaches us that the goal in life is to pursue happiness. The reality is though, that people are seeking happiness but missing out on true joy. Joy is not found in a life free of trouble, conflict, or disappointment. In this third Advent message, discover how to find true lasting joy this Christmas.

Christmas is a time when we reach the end of our busy year; we need rest and peace, and we want to look back and plan for what is ahead. Often, that gives us joy, but some years, it leaves us anxious and stressed, without peace - wondering what will happen next year. We always hear songs about peace during Christmas time. It’s something all humanity longs for.  In the second part of this Advent se...

Wars, recession, corruption, cancer, divorce - we live in a broken world in desperate need of hope! Christmas is a time of year that reminds us that God has not abandoned us in this brokenness, but has given us hope! And this is not a 'wishful thinking' kind of hope. The Arrival of Hope took place that first Christmas in a person - and his name is Jesus and he offers you hope today!

In life, we all reach moments where our strength falls short. Do we persist in trying to fix it alone, or do we choose to trust the one who orchestrates victories beyond our understanding? Discover the power of trusting God for victory when circumstances seem impossible.

Often in life, we struggle through pain and wonder if we are strong enough to get through it. You might even wonder if God abandoned you in your time of need. But what if those thoughts are your enemy, preventing you from becoming who God created you to be? Join us as we explore the timeless lessons from Gideon's journey, empowering you to confront the enemy within and become the mighty warrio...

Do you find yourself frustrated by half-hearted, mediocre work and service? It's because we're wired to crave passionate excellence! Join us in the conclusion of this series, where we unravel the meaning of passion, why it matters to God, and the incredible rewards awaiting those who live a life of wholehearted dedication, all driven by their love for God.

We all naturally have an issue with people when their daily walk does not match their talk, whether that person is a political leader, a teacher, a pastor or a parent. Did you know that Jesus also had an issue with it - and for good reason? In this message, we explore why our fifth value (“we are doers of the Word”) is so important not only for our personal lives but also for the culture of Grace...

When we hear the word “contributor”, it is easy to think of someone who gives money or serves in the church. Although this is part of it, contribution also goes much deeper. Sadly, many Christians never fully experience what it means to be a contributing part of the Body of Christ, as the Church has unintentionally fostered a culture of "consumer Christians" rather than "contributin...

It is so easy to get stuck in the status quo of your life, whether it is good or bad. The problem is that we are more comfortable living in a situation that is hard but known to us than moving forward toward something that could be good for us but which is unknown. In this message, we learn how we can gain more confidence to move forward towards the purpose God has for us. Join us as we explore th...

One of the most common complaints the unchurched have against the Christian Church, is that the people are too judgmental. Is that something the Church should be known for? In this message, we look at the second value here at Grace Church - a value embedded in our name. From a parable that Jesus taught, we learn how to view ourselves and others correctly before God and then get some practical tips...

In a world where independence is celebrated the Church is called to live counter-culturally and to embrace interconnectedness. Not only does modern research confirm that people who live interconnected tend to live longer and healthier lives, but from the Bible, we also learn that interconnectedness has many other good benefits for our lives. Join us as we learn about the first value that shapes th...
