We live in a culture that prides itself on individual achievement and self-reliance. This idea has permeated how we look at faith and following Jesus and has been more about the individual, than a community joined together. We've seen community as something that might be nice to have but not a necessity, so it's easy to see how many would question why we need the Church. Join us as we dive into th...

All of us long for genuine joy and fulfilment in our life, don’t we? We look for ways to increase our sense of meaning and significance and often are left disappointed in things we felt so hopeful would meet our needs. Join us as we look at the claims Jesus makes - that He Himself, and in choosing to live His way, is the way to experience true and abundant life.   Missed a sermon? Listen to our se...

One of the most common issues people have with God centers around the reality of evil and suffering in the world.

This weekend, as we continue to reflect deeply on the beliefs that make up our faith, join us as we begin to explore who God is. Pastor Kirk will lead us in exploring a fundamental belief that we don’t often talk about yet it shapes our relationship with God and will either help or hinder us from knowing him more fully.

Together, we'll discover a framework for approaching and understanding the Bible that will help us construct a faith to help us discover and experience life in the fullest. Missed a sermon?

Is it possible to have questions about God and even doubt and still believe? This week, we begin a new series, Deconstructing Faith, in which we will explore the tough questions about God, wrestle with hidden doubts, and construct a framework and faith that will help us live each day in a vibrant relationship with Jesus. Join us as we start our new series and ask these questions: Is it okay to hav...

With so much pain and suffering in our world, it can be hard to find joy during the Christmas season. Whether this time of year is a reminder of personal loss, you have fractured relationships, or you just turned on the news, sorrow can overshadow even the brightest days. But what if the coming of Jesus invites us to hold our pain and joy in the same hand, so that we can rejoice with those who rej...

The Christmas season is dawning upon us, and there are added activities all around us. From Christmas concerts to family gatherings, from the decorations that are hung to the food we make and to the songs we sing. They all carry a sense that something extraordinary is happening in our midst. Join us as we behold the Good news the angels declared – that a saviour was born, and we sing of his glory....

We all experience grief in our lives, and probably with more frequency than many of us realize. We all need to grieve because we all experience loss. Whether it is the loss of a loved one, a job we had or had hoped for, or a relationship that did not transpire or go how we thought it would. Loss is a reality in our lives, and the ability to process that loss plays a significant role in our ability...

Pain and woundedness is something we are all familiar with. Whether it is something visible above the surface of our lives or whether the pain sits beneath the surface known only by us or a few, this pain is real. Where do we go for help? Join us as we continue in our series, What Lies Beneath, as we explore the truth that in Jesus, there is healing for all of our pain and woundedness. Missed a se...

This weekend, as we continue our What Lies Beneath series, we’ll be looking at the impact shame has in our lives and how shame is destroying our relationships. We’ll also explore how Jesus restores what shame destroys. Join us as we explore what shame is, where it comes from and, most importantly, how to defeat the shame each of us carries. Missed a sermon?

What are you afraid of? Each of us has fears. Some we hide, and some everyone knows about. Fear can be a good thing; it can warn us and keep us safe from dangers, but fear can also be a bad thing. Fear that takes root in our soul can keep us from connecting and acting. Join us as we discuss how to bust through fear and embrace life as God envisions. Missed a sermon?

Have you ever inherited something that you didn’t really want? Sometimes, we inherit precious and great things, but sometimes, we inherit things that aren’t so great. Like paintings of dogs playing poker, a bunch of debt, or a risk of cancer. This weekend, as we continue our What Lies Beneath series, we will talk about some of the things we inherit from our relatives that aren’t exactly what we wa...

Central to the Christian faith is an understanding that we are offered forgiveness through Jesus. For many, this is something we know in our heads but have a harder time experiencing in our hearts. Now, take that one step further and think about what it means to forgive someone else for the hurt they have caused you and it can seem like an almost impossible task. Join us as we explore the invitati...

We are created for community, for deep and meaningful relationships. Nothing brings everything in our world to a grinding halt like relational pain or brokenness. When things are not right in a relationship, it seems to affect every area of our life. Food doesn’t taste as good, we don’t experience as much joy and even seemingly disconnected things feel shadowed as a result. On the other hand, when...

Have you ever believed a lie? It’s amazing what a lie can do, isn’t it? A lie can compel us to action, a lie can redefine who we are, a lie can destroy a relationship and a lie takes root in your soul can keep you from knowing yourself, knowing God and the people around you. Lies are powerful. This weekend as we continue our What Lies Beneath series, we are going to face the lies that are lurking...

Have you ever driven by something and never noticed it was there? A store or a place you’ve driven by every day and didn’t notice until you suddenly needed something from it. I’m sure we’ve all done something like this. This weekend, we are going to talk about how we do this, not just in our driving but in every part of life. We are in week three of our What Lies Beneath series, where we are looki...

One of the character traits that is often lauded in our culture is self-reliance. The independent spirit, that says I can do it myself has been a marker in the character of the West, add to that the winter climate that often finds us rushing from vehicles to homes and it is easy to find ourselves lonely and isolated. We often see this individualism translated into the understanding or experience a...

This weekend, we are starting a new series called, What Lies Beneath. In this series we are going to be inviting you to look beneath the surface of your life, into your soul, as see if there is anything that might be keeping you from experiencing a deeper connection and intimacy with God, with others and even your true self. Jesus said that he came that we might have life, a rich and abundant life...

If you ask people about the pace of their lives, many will describe it with words such as full, running, and busy. For many, the margin or space in their lives becomes razor thin, forcing them to give up things that bring joy and refreshment, including relationships with those close to them. Join us as we explore how the Gift of Rest helps us to make space for others in our everyday lives. Missed...

In a culture where full calendars and busy schedules are a badge of honour, how do we reclaim the gift of margin and rest? Often, we see rest as something that gets in the way of us making much needed progress or advancing our bottom line and yet, if we paid attention to our souls, don’t we crave a bit of space to breathe? What if we could enjoy space to breathe deeply by engaging a rhythm or pace...

Have you ever found yourself being forgetful? It is easy for it to happen. Life gets busy, multiple things are vying for our attention, and things easily slip our minds. Some people have elaborate strategies to help them remember things so that nothing will get forgotten. Join us as we look at how the faithful God continues to provide for His forgetful people.

Many of us are familiar with the story of the Exodus. We’ve even seen a movie or two about Moses parting the Red Sea. But have you ever wondered what that story is really about? Is it about God liberating a people? Is it about Moses becoming the hero the people needed? Or is it about God transforming a people? So often, our lives revolve around our current circumstances, but God wants to take our...
