Die to Multiply Jesus came to bring a great harvest—but it came at a cost. As he entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, the crowds cheered, but they didn't understand the price of true victory. Just as a seed must be planted and die to produce new life, Jesus gave his life so that many could be saved. Are we willing to follow his example, laying down our lives so others may know Him? As we live our call, we need to dive into the power of sacrifice, surrender, and God's heart for multiplication!

One Name: Part 2 – Mission Messengers 2 Chronicles 16:9 “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.”

One Name: Part 2 - Mission Mindset What drives your life? Paul was once consumed with destroying the church—until an encounter with Jesus changed everything. From that moment on, he lived with one purpose: to know Christ and advance His kingdom. Jesus Himself had a mission mindset. He left heaven, humbled Himself, and gave everything to seek and save the lost. His passion for us led Him to the cross. Pastor Joel Wells leads us to discover how we can develop the same mission mindset—a heart of worship, a willingness to fight, and a passion that won't be shaken.

We kick off a 4-week series leading up to our Global Impact Celebration in April focused on the theme 'ONE NAME'. So, what kind of impact is your life making? We'll evaluate this with Pastor Jason and uncover how following Jesus means stepping out, beyond ourselves.

The Weary World Rejoices: Part 3 - Let Earth Receive Her King Many would say we do not doubt that Jesus is Lord and King. But can you truly say He is Lord and King of your life? That he rules and reigns supreme in your life? Anatoliy Beliy takes us on an exploration of a passage from Col 1:9-17. Together, we'll be reminded how wonderful King Jesus is, and find out what it means to have Him as king in our own lives.

We continue our series 'The Weary World Rejoices' and reinvigorate a line from the not-so-known carol,“Come Thou Long Expected Jesus.” Jason Bandura explores the beauty and purpose of waiting. Whether in moments of hope, hardship, or longing, God's perfect timing brings meaning to the pauses in life. Together, we'll discover how waiting can shape, refine, and prepare us for His greater work. Let's worship, reflect, and rejoice as we anticipate the joy of His presence—past, present, and future.

The Weary World Rejoices: Part 1 - O Come, O Come, Emmanuel! 'The Weary World Rejoices!' As we enter the Christmas season, we're reminded of a world longing for a Savior—a world much like ours today.

Migrations - Part 4 Pastor Dave Wells brings the next Migrations series message titled "From the Coop to the Clouds." It's time to answer the question, ‘Are you a chicken or an eagle'? Are you scratching around in the dust of fear and failure, or soaring on the winds of vision and faith? Like eagles, we are called to rise above discouragement and embrace the Holy Spirit's empowering presence to walk in triumph.

In our series, 'Migrations: The Places to Which God Moves Us', we explore journeys of faith, as God calls us to new places of trust. Claire Epenu brings the second message in the series, 'Fear to Faith,' reflecting on how God calls us to confront and move beyond fear, empowered by His Spirit, to live boldly in His promises. Claire shares ways the Lord gives us courage and guides us into truth so we can step into the life He has called us to live with confidence and boldness.

Migrations - Part 1 As seasons change and creatures instinctively migrate toward new places, we're reminded of the powerful biblical theme of movement—times when God led His people from one place to another. In Scripture, we see migrations sparked by crises like famine, drought, and conflict, yet with God as the guide, each journey carries purpose and hope. In our new series, 'Migrations: The Places to Which God Moves Us', we'll explore how God calls believers into their journeys of transformation. Each message over the next 4 weeks will uncover a significant shift 'From ___?___ To ___?___' and will reflect how God's guidance shapes our lives and leads us to places that ultimately serve our good.

Brian Epenu is introducing us to the importance of bearing the fruit of the Spirit as a natural outcome of repentance and a life transformed by faith in Jesus. Believing and confessing Him as Lord brings us salvation and new life, but it also calls us to actively reflect God's character by producing spiritual fruit. In gardening terms, how is your 'tree' doing, and what 'fertilizers' would you list as your go-to for making a bumper crop?

My Church - Part 6 For the last few weeks, we've been going through the sermon series 'My Church'. Each week, we've looked at a different aspect of Jesus' vision of the Church of Christ we see evidence of in the Bible and how best we can live it out in the church today. As we reach the end of this series, Pastor Joel Wells will share the final message with us, emphasizing the most powerful ingredient in living an overcoming life: Prayer!

This is Living! Pastor Dave Maneschyn from Bridge Church in Medicine Hat AB shares the message with us. In a world that seems designed to lead us to the most comfortable life possible, we'll look to the words of Paul on how we can truly say "This is Living!!" The only hitch? Our comfort may not have anything to do with it!

My Church - Part 5 Over the past few weeks, we've looked at Jesus' promise to build HIS church in Matthew 16, and what exactly His church looks like. Now for part five of this sermon series 'My Church', Pastor Joel Wells looks at the variety of different personalities and giftings we each bring to the Church body, and how we can work together the way God intended.

My Church - Part 4 Jason Bandura delivers another fantastic message! Jason will pick up where we left off in our latest "My Church" sermon series. Spoiler alert: Jason's message will focus on the idea of Authenticity.

My Church - Part 2 Pastor Joel Wells shares part two of the 'My Church' sermon series with us. Matthew 16:18-19 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock, I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loosed on earth shall be loosed in heaven

My Church - Part 1 "And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock, I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" - Matthew 16:18 Pastor Joel starts a new fall sermon series! Consider this principle as we begin this series: Jesus is building HIS church and it looks a certain way, it acts a certain way, and it has a very specific mission and purpose. So, what does the church Jesus is building look like, and does our church reflect this?

The Master's Manifesto - Part 9 This Sunday will be the final installment of our summer series and in-depth look into Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. We've studied his words and learned how he calls us to live differently than those around us. Seyi Aberefa and Ron Swan will each share their practical perspectives on following the Master. *Seyi Aberefa begins at 1:41 and ends at 24:52 *Ron Swan Begins at 24:53 to 52:05

The Master's Manifesto - Part 8 Pastor Joel brings us insight into a few age-old proverbs. Have you ever heard of the 'Hay and Stubble Rule'? How about the 'Wooden Rule' or the 'Silver Rule'? The 'Golden Rule' found in Matthew 7:12 "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets" is likely the most known of them all. But who are the 'others' and what exactly is meant or included in the 'doing' command of the verse?

The Master's Manifesto - Part 2 Pastor Joel Wells shares the next installment of 'the Master's Manifesto' series, all about the sermon on the mount. Together we'll dive into Matthew 5, verses 12 to 48. We'll see how God's plan from the start was for us to be a light in the darkness, and what that looks like in our day-to-day lives.

In his time on Earth, Jesus taught, many times publicly, the Word of God in public. And one of his most significant teaching times is the Sermon on the Mount. It contains some of Jesus' most impactful teachings and ideas, that are provocative and challenging to any who hears them. That's why we're excited to start an all-new sermon series based on the Sermon on the Mount, called 'The Master's Manifesto'. Jason Bandura will kick off the series this Sunday, focusing on the first section; the beatitudes.

Safe in the Father's Hand Life is full of challenges and struggles. When you're in the midst of it, you might start to wonder about the Lord; "Does God really see my struggle? Does he even care?" How we handle these challenges is directly tied to our perspective on God; our perspective of our Father. This Sunday, Brian Epenu will share the message with us. His sermon will demonstrate the true nature of our spiritual Father, and how we are "Safe in the Father's Hand." Life is full of challenges and struggles.
