Post Script

How is it better that the Spirit is with us that Jesus himself, and how do ask the right question when it comes to the power of the Spirit at work in us? Paul and Dave chat about the Spirit of truth and unity, the importance of God's presence, and what it looks like for all of us to take the next step.

How does praying in Jesus' name make a difference? How can we live in the tension of praying God's will and our desires, and should we be more bold in our prayers? Paul and Dave jump back in after a brief hiatus as we explore how resurrection puts Jesus' teachings in focus.

How does the passage we hear at every wedding - 1 Corinthains 13 - shape our understanding of community? How do we join into the work that God is doing and choose to love one another the convenience that is so easy in our world today? Paul and Dave wrap our our fully human series and wrestle with the good tensions of loving each other in our church community.

What do technology and money have in common, and how can they diminish our call to be fully human? Chris and Dave follow up on this Sunday's message and talk about how we can reflect on how we are serving Mammon or God, and how we can take steps towards using instruments more and devices less as we practice who God has created us to be.

Does our technology really know us, and what does it mean that God fully knowns us? Paul and Dave dive into our new series on what it is to be fully human, why it has a huge impact on how we understand and practice community, and why being known by God is the best starting point.

Why is confession important, and how do we practice it both as individuals and in community? How does the practice of confession lead us to repentance? Paul and Dave wrap up our series on Hosea (and even throw in a Narnia reference for good measure).

Why do we find sin easier to talk about in generic ways that apply to others, and how do we best define it? How do we know God in a way that isn't primarily about more information? Paul and Dave continue to explore Hosea and the ways in which this book helps us lean into the relational and loving ways that God speaks to us all.

The book of Hosea is intense and can leave us feeling awkward or uncomfortable - but it points us to God's deep desire for relationship with us. Join Paul and Dave as they explore a bit of why we're studying Hosea together and how we hope it will help shape us at Compass Point.

How do we practice submitting to God - trusting him as we explore the sabbath and giving over our control of things? Join Chris, Paul, & Dave as we continue to talk about this keystone habit of sabbath together. 

How do we practice delight on this day of rest? What do we do when we fail or feel like it's not going well, and how do we take small steps into delight as individuals in community? Join Paul, Chris, and Dave as they continue talking about Sabbath and why we think it's a great thing to explore.

How do we move from stopping into resting - and how is resting different than relaxing or recovering? How do we step into this gift of sabbath and give up our controls, but not make it all about rules to follow and things we have to do (or not do). Join Chris, Paul, and Dave as they dive into week two of our Sabbath series.

What is Sabbath, and why is it a gift that's tied to our identity? As we begin this four week series, join Dave, Paul & Chris as they explore questions around Sabbath how we can begin to explore it together as a community. 

How do we learn to embrace surprises, even with their reminder that we're not in control? How do surprises fit in with the rhythms and patterns we're trying to cultivate with Rule of Life? Paul and Dave talk about all about surprise (and tell the Racoon story).

How are the relationships of Advent beautiful, and why does the simplicity of a place like Nazareth help us be drawn into the wonder of it all? Join Dagmar and Dave as they talk about Gabriel, the relationship between Mary and Elizabeth, and how to be present to God's presence 

What does it look like for us to expand our circles like Jesus did? Brad joins Dave as we talk about our six word stories, how to think about relational capacity and pace in sharing your faith, and the challenge to set aside some time to be intentional within your circles.

If we approach sharing our faith as less of a system and more in relationship, we need to be in tune with the Spirit as He guides us. Paul and Dave talk about prayer and how we prepare ourselves to be open and ready to listen and share when the opportunities arise.

If stories are so powerful, how can we leverage our expertise in our own stories to help show people how we've met Jesus? Paul and Dave chat about the six word story and how to examine your life to best articulate our story to people you're in relationship with. 

What does it mean that Jesus is a ransom, is our victor, and is the healer? Paul and Dave jump into the second set of images that the Bible gives us and talk about how we can hold these things together, lean into ones that we may need to learn more about, and use them as great starting points in our conversations with others.

Do you ever find yourself mixing metaphors and trying to put together all the ways that the Bible talks about our relationship with God in a single conversation? As we continue our series on How To Share Your Faith, join Paul and Dave as they talk about the ways we can think about our language and the needs of others and dive into the first three of six was of unpacking the good news.

What are the things that stop us from telling others that we're followers of Jesus and inviting them to be too? Paul and Dave chat about feeling ashamed, unprepared, and afraid, and how we can overcome those feelings and share with compassion and confidence.

Welcome back! In this special extended episode, Paul & Dave talk about alignment and unpack our strategy - our purpose of aligning lives to the way of Jesus, and our mission of encountering God together, embracing a rule of life, and embodying Jesus everywhere. We dive into why we think slowing down is important in this moment, how trying harder doesn't get us there, and what we're learning al...

Why is it important that there's a tree in the centre of the city in the book of Revelation, and what does Easter change about how we come into contact with the presence or God? Paul and Dave talk about how tracing trees through the story of God has helped them see Easter in fresh ways and see how the slow, steady work of becoming a disciple is growing like the rings of a tree.

On Sunday we heard how the prophet Isaiah used trees to talk about the people of Israel, and the hope of a new sprout springing up. Chris & Dave chat about other places we see trees in the Bible, and a simple practice we can all engage in this week as we look toward Easter.

How do we stay connected to and abide in Jesus, and what does that have to do with fruit? Paul and Dave talk about the Trinity and how we can walk in step with the Spirit, allow God the father to prune, and spend time ordering our loves to abide with Jesus.

Psalm 1 give us this picture of being blessed when we delight in the law of the Lord - and tells us that we're like trees! Paul and Dave discuss where else we see this in the Bible, how being happy and blessed are similar, and what it means to have seasons of bearing fruit.
