Sermon Series: Why Jesus (Book of John). Our guest speaker, Doug Loveday, encouraged us to trust God’s perfect love for us and to obey Him because we love Him.

Sermon Series: Why Jesus Our guest speaker, David Barker, reminded us that anything we want to find or see in God the Father is found or seen in Jesus Christ. When Jesus was in the Upper Room with His disciples on the night before He was crucified, Philip asked Him to show them the Father. Jesus said that He was the perfect revelation of God the Father. As we dwell on this truth, we are led to wor...

Our guest speaker, Josh Pegg, spoke about the priority Bible should have in our lives.

Sermon Series: Unwrapping the Promises of Christmas Our guest speaker, Adam Hockley, spoke about the gift of hope. Through the prophet Samuel, God promised a king that would reign on David's throne forever. We have hope in King Jesus, the fulfillment of that promise. Our hope is alive because it is personal, it is restorative and it is certain.

Sermon Series: Unwrapping the Promises of Christmas Our guest speaker, Randy Hoffman, spoke about the names of the Messiah prophesied in Isaiah 9. He is our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace.

Sermon Series: Unwrapping the Promises of Christmas Our guest speaker, David Barker, spoke of the Bethlehem prophecy in Micah 5. The Messiah would come from an unexpected place - the little town of Bethlehem - but would shepherd his people and bring peace. God works though unlikely places and ways to fulfill his plan of salvation.

Sermon Series: Unwrapping the Promises of Christmas Our teaching pastor, Gary Goodkey, began our advent series by focusing on the gift of light from Isaiah 9. In a world of darkness, God promised a great light. This promised Light has come in Jesus Christ. Now we have the light of Christ to take into a dark world.

Sermon Series: Helping People Find and Follow Jesus Our guest speaker, Kris Konig, spoke about the importance of mentor relationships in the church. "The mentorship relationship is the surest 'ship' for discipleship." Jesus modelled mentoring with His disciples during His ministry on earth. Scripture commands older men to be an example to younger men and older women to teach younger women. It's im...

Sermon Series: Helping People Find and Follow Jesus Our guest speaker, Phil Bauman, spoke about the universal call of Christians and the church to participate in global missions, taking the gospel to those parts of the world that have limited access to it. We can do this by adopting a global perspective, praying for missionaries, learning about and respecting other cultures, giving to global missi...

Our guest speaker, Doug Loveday, spoke about how we can help people follow Jesus. God's agenda is for us to be transformed more and more into the image of His Son. And we can help others do the same. In Colossians 1, Paul tells us how he helps others follow Jesus better. He admonishes and counsels and teaches, striving with the energy that God provides. We are encouraged to share with others what...

Sermon Series: Helping People Find and Follow Jesus Our guest speaker, Kirk Durston, answered this question: How can we clearly communicate the gospel with compassion and confidence? He talked about 4 key steps: 1. The power of daily surrendering to Christ. 2. Prepare your personal story 3. Work on the art of asking the right questions 4. Discern deception and know why the Bible can be trusted

Our elder, Jeff Martin, reminded us that God has blessed us in so many ways and called us to be a blessing to others. We can do this in very practical ways: B - Begin with Prayer L - Listen E - Eat S - Serve S - Share your story *acronym taken from the book B.L.E.S.S. by Dave & John Ferguson

Sermon Series: Helping People Find and Follow Jesus Our guest speaker, Darcy Dueck, spoke about the one great mission we as followers of Jesus Christ share. From Matthew 28:19-20 we receive the Great Commission. This is fulfilled through one church, one person (that's each of us!) and one Saviour. 

Thanksgiving Sunday Our guest speaker, Mark Hockley, spoke from Jonah 3. Some people seem so far from God that real heart change feels impossible. This was true of the Ninevites in Jonah's day. Yet God sent him to share the gospel with these people. When Jonah finally obeyed, God did a miracle, and changed the hearts of the people of Nineveh. They repented and God did not destroy their city. The s...

Sermon Series: Learning to Think Like Jesus Our guest speaker, Scott Stein, spoke about the ultimate goal of all of Jesus' thoughts. All that He thought and said and did, He did for the glory of God. We too are to live for God's glory.

Sermon Series: Learning to Think Like Jesus Guest speaker, Scott Stein unpacked the question What informed Jesus’ understanding? It was the Bible’s grand story that informed His thinking. Everything He did or said was filtered through the metanarrative of Scripture. Our thinking, as well, needs to be based on God’s revealed truth.

Sermon Series: Learning to Think Like Jesus Our guest speaker, Scott Stein, asks this question: What enabled Jesus' mind? He explores the doctrine of the incarnation, specifically Jesus' divinity and His humanity. Yes, Jesus was fully God, but He also was fully human. This means He had a fully human mind. So what enabled Him to think God's thoughts after Him? Scripture tells us that Jesus was the...

Sermon Series: Learning to Think Like Jesus Guest speaker, Scott Stein from Prepared to Answer, reminded us that we are not to be conformed to the pattern of this world, but instead to be transformed by the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:2). He challenged us to learn to think like Jesus. All Jesus thought and said and did was motivated by His love for the Father - this was the heart of Jesus. We...

Andreas Dimond, our Managing Pastor, reminded us of our calling to be "All for Christ." Through the example of the life of the Apostle Paul, we are called to surrender all for Christ, be all together for Christ, reach all for Christ, all for Christ's glory.

Sermon Series: Summer in the Psalms Our guest speaker, David Barker, encouraged us to make the lament psalms a part or our personal and corporate worship. These psalms are passionate prayers from a place of pain that end in hope and trust. We are invited to cry out to God, making our appeal for Him to act, and rest in His sovereign care.

As the people of God, seeking to appropriately express our faith and worship for the glory of God, we are invited to use the best tools available …one hundred and fifty carefully crafted prayers that allow us to answer, proclaim, pray to, and worship our gracious heavenly Father and glorious King.

Sermon Series: Summer in the Psalms Our guest speaker, Kris Konig, spoke about praising God from Psalm 145. He showed us how this Psalm reveals who God is, what He has done and what we are to do in response.

Sermon Series: Summer in the Psalms Our guest speaker, Jeff Martin, spoke about wisdom from Psalm 19. Wisdom is living rightly in response to God's truth. Psalm 19 tells us that God reveals Himself in two ways: in nature and in Scripture. Nature proclaims the splendour of the Glory of God, and Scripture gives us a fuller understanding of who God is.

Sermon Series: Summer in the Psalms Our Managing Pastor, Andreas Dimond, spoke about the joy of forgiveness from Psalm 32. Sin is the biggest problem facing humanity, but through genuine confession we can receive forgiveness and experience the blessing of an intimate relationship with our Father. We can choose to hide our sin or make God our hiding place.

Sermon Series: Summer in the Psalms Our guest speaker, Dan Allen, encourages us from Psalm 139 to have a high view of God. He is omniscient - He knows us completely. He is omnipresent - He is always with us. He is omnipotent - He has wonderfully created us. And He is omni-righteous - He is constantly working in us.
