 Words matter, even more so when Jesus uses them. In his Sermon on the Mount about the perils of judging others, he uses words such as, ‘judge, speck, log, and hypocrite’. With those words, he paints a picture of what’s really occurring when judgment is used against others. And that picture reveals more about the one judging than it does of the one being judged. But the inverse of that picture tel...

 | LIVING INTO THE TRANSFORMED LIFE: Part 5 - Free to Love As Jesus enters the final stretch of his sermon, it seems like he is coming full circle, back to how he began. Throughout his teaching Jesus has kept the least, the hurting, the marginalized, the oppressed, and the poor in the forefront of his mind. Jesus’ love for them runs deep. And he calls those of us who follow him to hear his words a...

The Followers High To say that following Jesus is really hard at times, is the understatement of the year! Going to church, singing songs, hearing a sermon is the easy part. Living the Jesus Way in your day-to-day life is a whole other story. A read of any part of the New Testament will quickly show you that the Jesus Way is a tough go. But the writers and myriads of other followers all down throu...

Advent Series: In the Midst of Chaos...He Comes. I’ve Got the Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy, Down in my Heart!   Our focus for the third Sunday of Advent is joy. A question that may be on a lot of minds in our world this Christmas is: “Where do I find joy in this chaotic world?” It’s a great question and it’s one that demands an answer. Where should we go to find the joy that we are so hungry for? We need lo...

If there’s one major concern dominating people’s minds (worry) around the globe, it’s money.  The anxiety and fear (worry) regarding the economy and inflation demands our attention on a daily basis (worry).    Our solution? Fix the economy. (worry)    Jesus’ solution? Look at the birds and look at the lilies. (worry) Your heavenly Father sees, cares, and provides for you. Let Jesus and his Kingdom...

That’s a fair question. Believe it or not, Jesus doesn’t call you and me to follow him in just some areas of our lives. He calls us to follow him in all areas, and that includes our money and wealth and the perspective we have towards our money and wealth. When it comes to money, the Jesus Way will always confront our way of capitalism that is ingrained in the so-called ‘free world’.     “No one c...

Living Into the Transformed Life - The Power of the ‘Eyes’ Have you given much thought to your five senses lately? Most people generally believe that the primary purpose of our five senses is to help us navigate our world ‘out’ there. That is true, but there’s another aspect of our senses that you may not be aware of. Jesus touches on one of our senses when he states, “Your eye is like a lamp that...

The distractions in life are scattered everywhere, making following the way of Jesus a genuine challenge. And yes, Jesus is fully aware of this challenge. He addresses those distractions and shows us how to render them impotent. It’s the Jesus Way and the way of a champion. We would love to hear your story!

Living Into the Transformed Life Forgiveness…A Gift I Give to Me Forgiveness. A gift from God to humanity. A gift from us to all others. A gift we need to give to ourselves? ‘Love your neighbour as yourself’ is considered as the royal law in the New Testament. In that one little statement is the expectation that of course I would love myself since I’m created in God’s image. But for some, when it...

Living into the Transformed Life  part 4 - Living Your Best Life The Path to Forgiveness It’s interesting how just three chapters into the story of Scripture we see pain inflicted and forgiveness granted. The pain that God must have felt over the fractured relationship God had with Adam and Eve must have been profound. But God responds. God’s first act flows from love and compassion towards Adam a...

LIVING INTO THE TRANSFORMED LIFE Part 4 – Living Your Best Life   Love’s Greatest Gift The question, “What does love look like?” is a common question for us humans. If there’s one thing we search for, it’s love. But what does it look like? In his little letter, John states that God is love. So it stands to reason that perhaps we should look no further than Jesus. Less than an hour away from dying...

LIVING INTO THE TRANSFORMED LIFE Part 4 – Living Your Best Life   This summer we looked at several ordinary people who were noted in the book of Hebrews, not for living a spotless life, but for making Jesus their champion. They knew that God offered real life, because God is the author of life. In his Sermon, Jesus calls us to follow him and live the real life , starting now!  In part 4 of our met...

Guest Speaker: Tabitha Fellman Speaking on: Joseph Sustaining Faith "And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him.  Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him.  Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness."  - Col 2:6-7 [NLT] We would love to hear your story!...

When you meet a person for the first time without knowing the person’s history, you actually have an incomplete picture of that person. When we read about God’s people in the Bible, we are meeting them as if for the first time. And from that first meeting, we make a judgment, either for good or bad. If it’s bad, then it becomes perplexing how and why God would use such a person. What’s missing is...

With Kim Maxwell as our guest speaker. Noah's story of building the ark, being on the ark, and repopulating the earth takes place over many years. Sometimes God calls us to have faith for a long time without seeing any resolution. This Sunday we are going to talk about long-term faith and the kind of faith that will get our names on the list of the faithful like in Hebrews 11. We would love t...

With Guest Speaker Mirela Smith SUMMER SERIES   JESUS – CHAMPION OF FAITH One of the aspects of the Bible that makes it truly striking is how all the writers do not ‘airbrush’ any person mentioned in Scripture…including Jesus. We get to see the good, the bad, and the ugly side of people - real people, just like us. But what the writers do make clear is that there is only one hero, and that is Jesu...

JONAH - Misguided Patriotism O how things go awry when one forgets the essence of who God is. It’s the essence that guides how we view God, how we view others, and how we view ourselves. While he may have been considered a Hebrew of Hebrews, Jonah’s love for God somehow shifted. The shift wasn’t sudden, rather, it occurred gradually over a number of months and years. It was a hard lesson for him t...

Speaking on: Perpetua/Felicity Enduring Faith Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith , let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.  We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith . SUMMER SE...

Living into the Transformed Life: Part 3 - The Way THE LORD'S PRAYER The Lord's Prayer is at the apex of the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus has been building to this point so far in the sermon by addressing character, the law, murder, aldultery, divorce, hatred, self righteousness and now the Lord's prayer. We'll take a look at the prayer line by line and see what Jesus has been bu...
