Caleb Friesen shares the charge to be strong and courageous from Joshua 1:1-9. We are called to walk closely with God and display His goodness, through serving our cities with heaven's solutions to the problems they face - destroying works of the devil and pushing back darkness. The primary enemies that hinder us and keep us in wilderness seasons longer than necessary are not people or problems “o...

Caleb Friesen expands on the previous message describing God's purpose in the wilderness. Through a wilderness season God is raising up a “hear & obey” people, who will venture into the ministry dreams He has for our city and beyond.  In Deuteronomy 30 we see how following Him depends very little on an ability to understand mysterious commands and far more to do with the condition of our heart...

Caleb Friesen shares some reflections on where God has us. We're in a season reminiscent of Israel's wilderness season.  Our past ways of life and church feel like ancient history, and the way of our future is not totally clear.  Through Moses’ words in Deuteronomy 8, we can see how God uses seasons like this to develop in us characteristics needed to walk in His promises without the pride, that o...

Bruce Friesen speaks on hearing God for this present season. In Matthew 16 Jesus shows that a compromised heart disables our ability to spiritually discern times and seasons. Bruce openly shares how God graciously turned him from feeding on the wrong voices during this pandemic and back to feeding on what God’s written word and Spirit are saying in this season. In prayer he began to sense God spea...

Caleb and Telsey Friesen share an Easter weekend message. Friday was gruesome; Sunday was glorious. Tragedy transformed into triumph.

Kelly Steeper encourages us from the life of David who was called a man after God’s heart.  Despite his many failures he continued to turn back to God and return to habits he built up in his time as a young shepherd. He made time for God. He was about God’s Glory. When David was Afraid, he trusted God. When he was at the end of himself, he turned to God When he sinned, he was deeply sorrowful and...

Caleb Friesen speaks about engaging God with our whole heart. God is not afraid of our feelings.  Pouring out the authentic expression of our soul is the context for authentic encounter with God.  In Psalm 42 we see how overcoming depression and despair involve choosing hope in God and worship, without needing to deny dark feelings.  Being well acquainted with Jesus and saturated in the gospel pro...

Charlotte Edwardson talks about engaging in worship. Worship and intimate relationship with the Father is what we were made for, so the enemy will pull out every trick and tool he has to try to stop us from worshipping. When we make the choice to attribute the highest value to our Father, in every situation, we begin to enter into living a life that is marked by worship. The more we choose worship...
