To what extent do you generally think of Jesus as a person of irrepressible joy? How might we read the gospels differently – and interpret our own interaction with Jesus differently – if we truly experienced the full measure of His joy within us? Join us this week as Pastors Jeremy and Lisa invite us to consider these things afresh.

Have you ever found yourself in a dire situation where, if you would have taken your own advice, you could have avoided it?  This Sunday we will be exploring how the choices leading to King Solomon’s fall may be the very choices we face everyday.  How do you recover from your own poor choices?  How do we make the right choices?

No one today, if offered wisdom, would say no.  We are all looking to be wiser in our finances, relationships and everyday situations.  Everybody wants to be known as someone who makes wise choices.  But what exactly is wisdom, and how do we get more of it?  As we look at the rise of Solomon, we’ll see how the kind of wisdom we should all desire comes from God, and that although the world around c...

I think most of us would say that there are some things in our lives that we hope others would not find out about - the actions of our youthful foolishness or decisions made at a time when clear thinking wasn’t so clear. How would you respond when those decisions or actions got called out by a friend? Most of us would probably look for some place to hide.  Join us this Sunday as we look at David’s...

King David was a great King, a man after God’s own heart.  But even he experienced how a seemingly simple compromise can lead to greater sin and heartbreak.  Come and hear Pastor Lisa share from  some of the lessons that we can learn from King David’s life.

The Rise of King David.  How did David move from a Zero to a Hero?  What shaped David’s childhood life that would later gain him the title, “A man after God’s own heart?”  We will be learning about God's planned  purpose for David’s life and God's planned purpose for you.

There are many different places we can receive identity from. Knowing and living out of our true identity, the one given to us by God is where abundant life is found and living out of any other identity can lead to pain and compromise. Come and hear Pastor Lisa share how we see this play out in the life of King Saul.

Has there ever been a time in your life where you have taken a moment to look back and wondered how did I end up here? Sometimes those moments are good, other times not so much. This Sunday we are taking a look at the early interactions with the life of Saul and how the role of leadership actually found him and set him on a course to the throne as King of Israel.

How often as a child did you hear the statement, “When you get older?” There are many things in life that we can only do once we reach a certain age. These can be as exciting as getting on the big rides at the amusement park or as important as voting. It is a general consensus that as we get older we have probably grown in our mental capacity and ability to make wise decisions and choices. Yet in...

This week we conclude our study on the greatest talk ever given, the Sermon on the Mount, in our Jesus Manifesto series. In Jesus’ final words to us, he makes two statements: 1) Everyone builds a life, and 2) Everyone faces a storm. The question is, when the storms of life inevitably come, what foundation will you have built your life upon? Join us on Sunday as we consider the call of Jesus to lis...

True or false? How is a person to know the difference? In a time that the words "fake news" gets thrown around, it is hard to know where to look or how to discern truth from fiction. This week as we continue our Jesus Manifesto series we are going to look at what Jesus had to say about how we can tell the difference between the two.

As we continue our study of Jesus’ most provocative teaching found in the Sermon on the Mount, this week we’ll be considering what is one of the most troubling passages for many people in our day. In Matthew 7:12-14, Jesus talks about the ‘narrow gate that only a few find.’ The deep concern that a lot of thoughtful people have about Christianity is that it calls certain beliefs wrong and calls cer...

Ask for anything? Have you ever asked for something and never got what you wanted? Has that diminished your hope, caused you to wonder if you would ever get what you hoped for? Join us this Sunday as we look at what Jesus has to say about asking and the response we can expect from him.

This week we dive back into our Sermon Series looking at the Sermon on the Mount, The Jesus Manifesto. We are in the last chapter of the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 7:1-6. Once again, Jesus is speaking into real time issues that we all face. Though it’s unlikely any of us think of ourselves as judgmental or condescending, Jesus once again has a way of exposing our true hearts, helping us see thin...

We all need an overall plan when it comes to staying balanced financially – an overarching framework within which we seek to wisely manage and prioritize our financial resources in a way that honours God and leads to a flourishing life. Though there are constant corrections required in order to stay balanced, it all begins by aligning our priorities with intentionality and forethought. This week P...

We have been built with a natural tendency to compare and it often starts as a kid when we compare who’s got the best lunch at school, or who’s dad is stronger.  When we get older the things that we compare often tend to be a little more costly. The comparison often fuels an appetite in us to get the next, latest, greatest or best and all of that comes at a cost.  Join us Sunday to explore what it...

We are continuing in our “Balanced” sermon series on personal finance (originally developed by Andy Stanley). One of the laws of balance is that you need to make constant corrections, and in personal finance, there are several areas where this is required. This week Pastor Jeremy will address the second constant correction we need to make in order to stay balanced in our personal finances, explori...

We live in a time where with just one click, one tap or signature we can get just about anything we want.  For many of us those purchases have been made on credit - money that we do not have and yet we are assuming responsibility for.  Join us this week as we take a look at what the scriptures have to say about the wise use of money and debt as we try to live the clear objective of honouring God w...

We are continuing in our “Balanced” sermon series on personal finance (originally developed by Andy Stanley). One of the laws of balance is that you need to know what your basic overall objective is when it comes to money – in other words, what are we trying to accomplish? This week Pastor Jeremy will explore this question by looking at the life of King David and how he shows us that everything we...

This week we begin a new series on personal finance called “Balanced” (originally developed by Andy Stanley).  Over the next 6 weeks, we’ll be looking at the ‘Laws of Balance’ and how to move toward financial health and Kingdom generosity.  This first week, Pastor Jeremy explores the concept of balance in our personal finances and what Jesus identifies as our starting reference point for financial...

If you were invited to sit with a group of friends and re-write the culture of your neighbourhood, what would that look like? What changes would you like to make? Re-shaping a neighbourhood may be easier than you think. This Sunday we will be hearing about how God can use you, to make your neighbourhood a better place to live.

In keeping with his incisive unpacking of the human heart in light of the news of God's now-available kingdom, Jesus continues on to address one of the most universal of human experiences - worry (aka fear aka anxiety).  This teaching confronts our professed 'beliefs' in some pretty serious ways.  Do we actually believe God is sovereign?  Do we actually believe that he loves us?  Do we actually tr...

It is often the thing that causes the greatest disagreement in a marriage.  When you don’t have it you are trying to figure out how to get it.  When you do have it you are always trying to figure out how to get just a little bit more.  Some even go so far as saying it is the root of all evil.  So why does money carry such a bad reputation?  Isn’t having money a good thing?  Join us Sunday as Pasto...

Most people have strong, internal urges and impulses that, at times, get the better of them.  Despite our intent to follow Jesus, we sometimes find ourselves seemingly unable to exhibit the self-control we feel we should.  A common misconception is that all we need is “stronger willpower.”  But is that true?  Come and listen in as Pastor Jeremy reminds us of an age-old practice specifically design...

Forgiveness.   Both the need to give and receive forgiveness impacts all of us.  Come and hear Pastor Lisa share on the importance of us truly being a forgiven people so that we in turn can freely forgive others.
