One of the words that we see frequently used around Christmas time is the word “hope” - whether that be on flyers and social media posts that encourage us to be hopeful, or in shopping catalogues trying to get us to buy toys for our kiddos that we hope they will like. Hope has also gone viral over the last few weeks as millions of people were hoping that amazon and Canada post would deliver things...

In this sermon, we look back at where our sermon series began and trace the promises of God from the Garden to the Manger.  In doing this, we recognize the gravity of the Promises that God has made and how He has kept them perfectly.

What if God called you to leave behind everything that was comfortable and to follow Him into the unknown?⁣ *cue the Frozen 2 soundtrack* ⁣ ⁣ “into the unknown”⁣ ⁣This week, we are examining the life of Abraham from Hebrews 11 and the book of Genesis to see how his faith led him to strike out into the unknown in following the call of God. ⁣What does it look like to leave behind security, safety, a...

This sermon continues our series examining Hebrews 11; learning from the faith of those who have gone before us so that we may walk in faithfulness in these uncertain times

There is so much uncertainty in these turbulent times and we are tempted to walk by sight, not by faith.  To trust in what our eyes can see, instead of the promises of God.⁣ ⁣But is that what Jesus demands of His Church? ⁣ And how should we live out our faith in the midst of a pandemic?  Do our lives look differently than those without faith in Jesus?⁣
