Village Green Community Church

 To say the God is mighty, is to evoke the images of not only the Creation story, but of every instance where God reigned victorious. 

The first depiction of Jesus as Wonderful Counselor, is a characteristic that highlights the power of God-inspired wisdom.

Update from missionaries Rob and Kathryn Fleming who serve in Japan.

We can be many things to many people, and we can sometimes soar and sometimes flounder, but through it all, We Are the CHURCH!

 There are times when we are met with hopelessness and despair. In God’s economy, though, there is always room for new beginnings that point to boundless hope. 

 Truth and tolerance are rarely teamed together, especially when Christians are in view.  As intolerance and hatred grow, so does the attacks against believers. 

Certain topics have the potential to be divisive, none more so than claiming exclusive rights to truth. How do we manage this volatile subject yet still proclaim the truth?

We all know what it's like when on the receiving end of timely gift. few things speak louder about a church's commitment than its capacity to give.

Building into the lives of people can be so rewarding, especially when it results in growth that is spiritually healthy.

Membership does have its privileges, but also its responsibilities. To serve is to project the hands and feet of Jesus.

The Church is many things to many people, but at its core, its only about one message.

Underlying the entire premise of the Church is this one reality; that God so loved the world.

Age can sometimes be a detractor, a liability depending on the importance of the responsibility. Timothy, a disciple of the apostle Paul, heroically forges into the mantle of leadership at a time when his age was seen as a problem.

 Sometimes God calls us to drastic situations.  In what seemed like a hopeless cycle, God called a man that no one was looking at, to deliver the entire nation from slavery.  

 There are times when we are so compelled by an injustice we are tempted to act.  But some things are so daunting many will simply give up and say it's beyond fixing.  Nehemiah, in true heroic fashion, shows how one person can move a mountain. 

Sometimes, being a hero is forced upon you. You are faced with a situation that unless you act, the consequences could be disastrous. In those moments, heroes are made and cowards are exposed. In this message, Esther's heroism leads to a nations deliverance.   

Ruth is one of the Bible's most endearing books, primarily because of its portrayal of covenantal love. Her heroic faith set in motion the next generation of God's plan.

Rahab, a woman whose life choices would not have classified her as a hero. Yet, when it mattered most, she became a catalyst for God.

For every mountain there is a valley. In this message we look at the character and nature of God as he cares for one of his prophets at the lowest point in his life.

Grace is a funny thing. When we see it showered on others we often respond in judgment or anger. In Jonah's case, he becomes the poster boy for a people who had forgotten their reason for existence and the grace that was once showered on them.

When Jonah finally gets his act together, his obedience produces incredible results. As is often the case, obeying God can lead to some of the most significant moments in our life.

Sometimes God will use the most extreme circumstances to get our attention. In Jonah’s case, his disobedience required a drastic response from God, one that brought Jonah face to face with his own mortality.

This service is a Celebration Sunday. As a church we reserve these Sunday's to celebrate all that God is doing in the life of Village Green Community Church. From baptisms, Parental Dedications, to memberships and honouring volunteers, these are moments we schedule to pause and thank God. 

Jonah demonstrates the ultimate flight response when he receives a mission directive from god. As a prophet, he forgot the most basic truth of all, you simply can't run away from God.
