The covenant that God made Abram in Genesis 15 is actually the New Covenant that Christians have with God through Jesus Christ. That reality has profound consequences, specifically for the nation of Israel. Has the church replaced Israel (aka supersessionism)? Does Israel still have a role to play with God? These questions are more are answered in this message from Pastor Ross. You can also watch...

In Genesis chapter 15, God made a covenant with Abram. That's a big deal because that covenant is our New Covenant today. It is a covenant that God promises to do both sides, and we get to benefit from His work.

The Christmas story has it's roots in the story of Abram in Genesis 15, when Abram believed in the promise of God that resulted in his righteousness. But what does it mean to be righteous by faith alone and how does impact us today? Join Pastor Ross Gilbert as he explores the significance of this passage.

Imitation gets a bad rap. Often a form of humour and humiliation, imitation in Biblical terms and definition, was a term of honour. It demonstrated a form of allegiance that spoke of great affection between two parties. Paul urges the Corinthian Church to imitate him. Pastor Robin shares about 1 Corinthians chapter 4 as an affirmation but also a warning to the 21st Century church - to really under...

The Bible is a covenant document that details the various covenants that God makes with mankind. To truly appreciate the power of that statement, and therefore to understand the kind of relationship and connection we have with God, we need to step back and understand what it is a covenant. Pastor Ross does this by examining threshold covenant in particular and how it is the basis of the first Pass...

This story of Abram has everything you would want in a blockbuster movie. Political intrigue, great characters, villains, heroes, chases, epic battles, and the rescue of vulnerable people. But it is much more than that. It show us the gospel, both for us and how that is lived out in our communities.

The story of Lot and Abram going their separate ways has a lot more going on than meets the eye. We discover how God is moving in Abram's life to bring repentance. Abram's life was one where he was learning to trust God through obedience from the heart. This what it means to live a life of repentance, where we are learning to rely not upon ourselves, but upon God's power. You can watch this messag...

The need to be perfect is something that many of us can relate to on some level. Ultimately, this desire for perfection has its roots in the belief that if I work hard enough I can prove my value in what I do. But God has a better plan. He desires we look to Him for our perfection and to rest in his finished work at the cross. You can watch this message on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/Kxyi3s6G28...

Meditation on Jesus’ instruction is the key to perseverance, prosperity and protection in the life of the believer. But meditation is a bizarre concept that - even though Biblical, is a head scratcher for new covenant believers. Pastor Robin highlights how meditating on Jesus’ instructions is an essential part of the believer’s life based on Psalm 1. You can watch this message on YouTube here: htt...

The Bible tells the honest story, including the failures of the heroes of our faith. In this passage, we discover when Abram had more fear in man, than trust in God - and left his wife, Sarai, in a vulnerable place.

The life of Abraham is an incredible example of how God works in the lives of those who trust Him. Despite being a man who struggled with fear, mistrust, doubt, and more -- he is known as God's friend. Someone that God blessed personally, nationally, and for the entire world.

Spiritual battles are won or lost at the threshold of the mind. Thankfully, God has given us very practical, simple weapons with which we can fully experience the victory Christ has won for us.

Psalm 100 is a psalm of thanksgiving to God for who He is and His faithfulness to us, His very own people. Here, we learn to worship God in our joy, our service, and in our praise through song. Together, let us enter His gates and stand in His courts exulting His perfect goodness.

The Bible has a fantastic history. The most famous book in the world is a collection of writings from thousands of years ago by many different authors from different parts of the world. But it is so much more. It is the Word of God communicated through His chosen people who witnessed God's action and His heart firsthand. These writings have been preserved and passed down through the generations ov...

Sometimes it’s not the big ‘asks’ from God that are the challenge. Sometimes it’s the small ones that trips us up. The visit to the neighbour, the small talk with the cashier, or the family get together that can sometimes be the hardest moment to go with God’s leading. Remembering who and why you were made the way you are is surprisingly the key to a life of surrender. You can watch this message o...

The Apostle Paul closes his letter to the Corinthians with a description of what the Church of Jesus Christ looks like when she is at her best.

Time for a pop-quiz. It is the most important test that we need to pass. It is a test to see if we possess faith in Christ, and therefore if Christ is in us. Not everybody passes this test (Universalism is not Biblical), nor is it only for some (God did not predestine only some for faith). Anyone can pass - as long as they possess faith.

Living in a sin-cursed world where we face temptation from all around us, there is still hope in the simple truth that Jesus is greater than your sin. The same power that raised Jesus from the grace, is able to overcome the flesh.

Repentance is one of the words in our Christian faith that has been very misunderstood. As a result, it has been discarded and seen contrary to grace. But repentance is something that we all need and will lead us out of death from sin to experience life in Christ. Which is why the Apostle Paul is willing to meddle in the personal lives of the Corinthians. Website: https://www.newlifekw.ca Facebook...

We are preoccupied often with three things, clarity on right decisions, control over the results, and corporately being known. If we’re honest with ourselves, we think about these three often and worry about them. But Paul prays a prayer for the Philippian church and us that addresses those three things. It is a prayer that reveals the power of God’s love in everyday life. You can watch this messa...

God doesn't need you to be a strong Christian. Sounds counterintuitive, yet Paul teaches that our weakness allows us to lean into His grace, which is His power to face the difficult circumstances in life.

God asks that we turn to Him in prayer for healing, help, and restoration. But what happens when we turn to Him in earnest faith, but His answer is no. How do we face the pain and struggle that He doesn't take away? Paul's thorn in the flesh gives us important insight to the hope filled truth that God has a purpose, especially in our pain.

What does it mean to be convicted by the Holy Spirit? We will explore how God encourages us to grow through conviction and that conviction is our opportunity to trust Him. Peter Watt from @crosswaystolife joins us to share from his own journey the good that comes from hearing, trusting, and surrendering to the Holy Spirit.

The world cheers for strength, for excellence, for those with power and special abilities. But God chooses the weak, who are committed to trust Him, because that's where His power shows up best.

We are often guilty of the comparing ourselves with others and feeling that we come up short. Yet it is foolish to do that, because it means putting ourselves under the standard (which is another way of saying the Law) which only guarantees that we experience death and condemnation. Yet, the Apostle Paul decides to lower himself into this foolishness to show that the false apostles who are placing...
