You might have heard of 'The Woman Caught in Adultery'.... but have you heard of 'The Men Caught in Hypocrisy'? In this well known encounter, Jesus is revealing MUCH about who he is and what he is like. Apologies for the poor audio quality. We forgot to hit the record button on the computer, so you're unfortunately only hearing the audio from the room mic!

Nobody is content to just exists and breathe air. Everybody thirsts for something real; something that will fulfill us. We want to feel ALIVE. What is that, and how do we get it?

That moment Jesus walks on the water, is saying a LOT about who he is! What if Peter had just trusted him?

The miraculously healing of the Leper did more than just restore a broken and humiliated man. It also exposed the hypocrisy of the religious, and gave us a glimpse into the Kingdom of God.

In response to a 'thorn in his flesh' Paul writes about God's grace being enough, and his strength being displayed through our weakness (2nd Cor 12). This can become a banner verse for anyone who struggles with their mental health. In our weakness, he is strong!

From our 'mini' Fav's series - Rob traces the theme of the Shepherd and the Sheep, starting with an all time 'fav', Psalm 23.

It's the 4th and final chapter of Jonah, concluding Jonah's short and concise, yet powerful, bio. Praise/Worship was especially special this week, so we included it! Sermon starts at 22:50.

Pastor Rob is back from holidays, and takes us through Jonah 3! For the first two weeks of the Jonah series, check out Life Church's series on Jonah (featuring Pastor Craig Groeschel).

If you're going through hell, keep going! Jesus takes our 'struggle' seasons and turns them into 'glory' seasons.

We're baptizing people today!

... is God a monster? Did God harden Pharaoh's heart, or did Pharaoh harden his own heart? Why did all that craziness have to go the way it did? Couldn't there have been another way?? All great questions.

"Other people seem to find the Bible enjoyable and life-giving.... but I find it boring and I don't want to read it. How can I get the most out of the Bible? _________________________________________________________ From the series 'Quiet Questions' - where we tackle anonymously submitted questions that you've been 'quietly holding' because you didn't think you could ask them.

Welcome to our new series - Quiet Questions - where we tackle anonymously submitted questions that you've been 'quietly holding' because you didn't think you could ask them. Why are we doing this? Because doubts and questions are not the enemy of faith, rather, they can be the catalyst that leads to even greater faith!

To wrap up his Sermon on the Mount (and our series) - Jesus combines a warning, along with a second, subtle, powerful, invitation.

The 'blessed life' Jesus describes in the Sermon on the Mount stirs our souls and awakens a deep sense of purpose within us... but also feels so impossible! How can we possibly live up to it? Ask. Seek. Knock!

The weapon of the enemy becomes the means by which the enemy is defeated. Jesus is the Champion! Happy Easter!

Jesus words about not judging others sound like they came straight from the vocabulary of a millennial... But this is a timeless and profound truth, just as relevant today as it was 2000 years ago, that could change the world - if we could do it!

We all succumb to the insatiable desire for 'more', but Jesus calls us to something better! Once again, we are having issues with the direct audio recording. Unfortunately we were only able to capture audio with the room mic, and so the audio is not as clear as we'd like it to be. Hopefully you can still hear and understand the message!

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus slips in a little nugget regarding 'when you fast'... But what is fasting, and why would I want to do it?

How is prayer counter cultural, and what does Jesus have to say about it in the Sermon on the Mount?

We always love having Pastor Evan with us from Northgate (Courtenay)!

Continuing in the Sermon on the Mount; Jesus challenges our propensity for doing the right things with the wrong motives - and challenges us to find our approval in God, the Father, alone.

From the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus challenges human nature's proclivity towards revenge - and calls us to a better, counter cultural way.

From our series on Jesus' famous sermon on the mount. What does Jesus have to say about 'Vows/Oaths'? How is it relevant to us today?
