We tend to believe our anger is justifiable, but in reality, most anger is myopic and unbeneficial. Why do we react with anger? What triggers it, and how do we overcome and ultimately live without it? A greater understanding of Christ-centered identity is necessary for anyone desiring freedom and good relationship with others.

Some Christians falsely claim that Jesus came to abolish the law, but truthfully he came to perfect its meaning and intention. Its only in a loving and abiding partnership with God that we fulfil the law, and in that same intimate relationship that we are indwelled with His values and attitudes.

The central proclamation and demonstration of Jesus’ ministry was the Kingdom of God. A kingdom is a realm where a king’s domain reigns supreme. Therefore, the Kingdom of God is a place where the rulership and life of God abounds. Where Jesus walked and lived he brought the Kingdom’s blessing with him, and this how he calls his followers to live as well.

We all have something that we lean on, something that supports us, holds us up, and gives us strength, joy and purpose in life. Many people lean on the ways of the world and end up truly unhappy. But a good and beautiful life is promised to those who lean on God, faithfully following and obeying his teachings.

Today marks the beginning of lazy days and the let down season. Christmas is over, half eaten boxes of chocolates are on the counter, pieces of torn wrapping paper are in the living room, and gifts that were once secret are now in the open, waiting to be used. Emotions and questions on the day after Christmas are common throughout the Christian life. God has gifted us with so much—Jesus as our Lor...

Loneliness is an epidemic in our world. More people than ever before are feeling unwanted, unneeded, uncared for, and maybe even unnecessary. Friendship is what fills the gap between relational desires and experiences. Jesus is the perfect friend; He gives us exactly what we need and shows us how to be a good friend to others.

Our world has deep cultural narratives embedded into it. Whether passive or aggressive, national identities, religious beliefs, social standards, and other cultural influences have a powerful effect upon people. The culture that Jesus introduced is known as the Kingdom of God and his invitation is for every other culture to be transformed by its values

Many stories in the Bible foreshadow the coming of Jesus – signalizing a day when God would travel through time and space to be with his creation. One such story came by way of a dream had by a troubled young man named Jacob, who saw a stairway from heaven touching the earth. Jacob’s dream points to the Christmas story, revealing that God’s love breaks through barriers to reach a world that’s fall...

Making a pickle is a time-consuming process. You need to make brine—a vinegary, salty solution—and then place cucumbers in the brine and leave them for up to six weeks. Growing as a disciple of Jesus is a lot like making a pickle. You want to mature quickly, but spiritual growth doesn’t happen instantly. Today’s message will encourage you to slow down, to take time, and to patiently commit to doin...

A dominant narrative, even among Christians, is “I am a sinner,” but the New Testament narrative is that Christians are in Christ and are new creations. Therefore “I am a saint” is a the more truthful declaration. Though Christ dwells in Christians, sin remains, but its power has been broken and it must not reign. The secret to living the Christian life is to “abide” in Christ, allowing Him to shi...

Sin has distorted humanity. Its effects are seen globally, in communities, and in individual lives. The narrative of scripture reveals a holy God pursuing unholy people with a plan to set them apart for His holy purpose. Like the temple described in the Bible, God has purified his people. He’s reconciled them through his son, Jesus, and has commissioned them to manifest his glory in the world.

When it comes to God, self-sacrifice goes much deeper. God so loved the world that he sacrificed his son, even when we had no use for him. In other words, God sacrificed for us when we were his enemies!

Governments exist to maintain justice and order. Servanthood is God’s intent for those who lead and support is required of those who follow. Join us for a special service where we’ll be meeting and praying for those running in this year’s municipal election.

Celebrating God's Trustworthiness | Greg Fraser by The Father's House Church Morinville

The dominant narrative about God for many Christians is that God is angry and punishes us for our sins. A closer look at scripture reveals that Jesus rejected this idea. Jesus and the New Testament writers steer clear of explanations on the cause and effect notion of sin and suffering, and instead call us to do good while humbly trusting in God who is with us in life’s challenges.

What are you seeking? What do you want? What are you desiring, loving, and longing for? The answer to those questions will point to the dominant narratives that you live by. Jesus is meant to be first. He gave you His Spirit and His church to help shape and guide you into truth.

In order to build a stable foundation, we have to know what it truly means to follow Jesus. When it comes to our faith, we have to place our hope in Jesus.

When we experience empathy, which we've seen God has wired us to do before we can even consciously choose for ourselves, our ability to empathize is being developed, producing people who have the ability to empathize with others.

Jesus teaches that there is an ‘already, not yet’ element to the coming of the kingdom. As he taught in Mark 4, the kingdom is like a mustard seed that starts out small, but eventually covers the whole world. It’s already here with his coming, but it’s not yet fully unveiled.

We must place our faith and trust in the Lord as never before and know that we are safe and secure in his loving arms! There are many people who don’t know Jesus or how much he loves them and they are looking at the world today and saying, "where can I go to get away from this craziness?" Jesus’ arms are open to all who will come to him in their need and trust in him.

God is the Father from whom all true fatherhood derives its name and meaning. He is the ultimate Father and the perfect examples to follow. There are two characteristics of our Heavenly Father described in every one of Apostle Paul’s letters. Today’s message will define those attributes and identity the Spirit that makes the best fathers truly amazing!

The grace of God is essential in receiving life from Christ and in living life for Christ. In today’s message, we will learn the cycle of grace that Jesus lived by as he followed His Father’s will. We will learn how to grow in grace and how to avoid a legalistic works driven life.

The Bible describes that we are in a battle with powers and principalities in the spiritual realm. Though the enemies we fight are largely unseen, their effects are certainly felt in challenging circumstances in life. As difficult as it may be, the call for Christians is to turn away from evil and opposition and to instead focus on Christ and the impenetrable armour he gives to those who believe.

The biproduct of abiding in Christ is the fruit of the Spirit. As we are uncovered we then begin to resemble Christ-likeness and can be covered in the righteousness of God.
