Sunday, August 6, 2023 The primary goal of the Christian life is to become more like Jesus in order to better represent Him in the world we inhabit. Are our routines, choices, habits or calendars reflecting this primary goal? The other interesting reality in the Christian life is that the very becoming like Jesus happens as we actively choose to live like Jesus. We don’t wait until we’re “complete...

Sunday, July 30, 2023 Speaker: Ian Campbell Psalm 133; John 17 As we come to the end of our "starter" teaching series on Prayer - what should we conclude with? How about thinking about the matters that Jesus Himself prayed about. In John 17 we hear Jesus ask the Father twice for the same thing - unity and oneness. Why was this on Jesus' mind and heart?

Sunday, July 16, 2023 Speaker: Andrew Wood Small decisions lead to major outcomes. This week we’ll talk about the child-like faith that we grow in as we come back to God in prayer in order to stay on the right path towards the adventure God has for us.

Sunday, July 2, 2023 Speaker: Ian Campbell Psalm 130 Is there a log book in heaven that keeps track of our sins? Wouldn't that be a terrifying thought! In another of the Psalms of Ascent the songster raises that thought and immediately dismisses it with the declaration "But there is forgiveness with You." Let's let that grip our hearts!

Sunday, June 25, 2023 Speaker: Ian Campbell Psalm 121 Where does my help come from? The Psalms have often been called the prayer book of Israel. In the section known as Psalms of Ascent a common theme is "help." in what areas of life do we need help? Where will it come from?

Sunday, June 4, 2023 Speaker: Ian Campbell Ephesians 1 The chapter of the Bible that is perhaps the most theologically dense and rich passage. It ends with a beautiful prayer that we can receive for ourselves. Let's dwell in that prayer.

Sunday, May 21, 2023 Speaker: Ian Campbell Prayer as Dance John 17.20-24 We will seek to view prayer as a dance with 3 partners who dance as one. Is this what Jesus was alluding to in John 17?

Sunday, May 14, 2023 Speaker: Andrew Wood We ask the question "why do we struggle with prayer?"

Sunday, April 30, 2023 Speaker: Andrew Wood Pastor Andrew wraps up the sabbath conversation in our Speed of Love season. There's been so much good said on Sundays and in communities while feeling like we've just scratched the surface.

Sunday, April 16, 2023 Speaker: Ian Campbell Psalm 95; Hebrews 4 Is it possible to make God angry with us? Sabbath Rest seems to be the Biblical center of Sabbath teaching and there is a curious comment in Psalm 95 and Hebrews 4 that not entering this rest made God angry with Israel and they apparently are to serve as an example to the New Testament believers. What would not entering this rest loo...

Sunday, April 9, 2023 Speaker - Andrew Wood The message from Easter Sunday, 2023 following 3 baptisms.

Sunday, April 2, 2023 Speaker: Ian Cambell Colossians 1.15-20 What delights us? Over the history of the church we find the stories of saints who were overtaken by the joy of their faith. Joy seems to be elusive in our times. In the practice of sabbath can we rediscover what has been missing for us?

Sunday, March 26, 2023 Speaker: Ian Cambell Genesis 3:16-18; Exodus 20:8-10 Is work part of the curse or a blessing? We'll look at the symbiotic relationship between work and rest and ask if work is good.

Sunday March 19, 2023 Speaker: Andrew Wood This Sunday we’ll build on the concept of the Sabbath being for you by looking at the clear commandment in both Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 6. We’ll unpack how commands from God are always for our benefit, and how life in the kingdom is experienced in it’s greatest measure when we are obedient to the command, and live in the love that is the basis for the c...

Sunday, March 12, 2023 Speaker: Ian Campbell Speed of Love... Sabbath (1) Genesis 2:1-4 In our "Speed of Love" teaching season we are beginning a pause in which we'll learn about and be apprenticed into the habit of "Sabbath." Far from the onerous burden of some of our religious pasts we'll discover this rhythm as one of the Creator's most wonderful gifts.
