    2025-05-18: After the Apostles were filled with the Holy Spirit, they boldly went out to proclaim and demonstrate the Good News of the Kingdom of God. But the message of Jesus provoked strong reactions—some were deeply moved and compelled to follow, while others fiercely resisted and sought to silence it. This week, we explore how Jesus, the cornerstone, continues to be either a foundation of hope or a stumbling block even today.

    2025-05-11: This week, we begin a new series called "To be continued...". We will consider the growth of the early church and how we are still a part of that ongoing story today. How did the movement Jesus started 2000 years ago transform the entire Roman world in two hundred years and eventually find its way around the globe? On top of the resurrection event that turned skeptics into believers, there was another event. Fifty days after the resurrection, something cataclysmic happened that completely transformed individuals and communities. In fact, Jesus said the mission he gave his disciples wouldn't be possible without it. It was critical then, and it is just as critical today.

    2025-05-04: So there was an election this week. Some were thrilled with the result, and some were disappointed. The polarization of our world will continue. But how do you respond? If your candidate won, have you placed all your hope in them? If your candidate lost, is it all doom and gloom and hopeless? Our responses display our true allegiance. The Politics of Jesus does not rely on a political platform to change the world, it relies on something else. What exactly is that something else? Well, that's what we will tackle this weekend - and the answer might surprise you.

    2025-04-27: There's an election on the horizon. This inevitably leads everyone to consider their values, assess the current world, and take responsibility (or not) for what type of world we want to live in. It also becomes a moment in time (in an increasingly polarizing time) where people of faith live out their understanding of how that faith impacts politics and culture. What does it mean to be a citizen of the Kingdom of God and a citizen of Canada? What party would Jesus vote for? Would he even vote? This week, we begin a two-part series exploring the politics of Jesus and what that might mean for those who claim to be Jesus followers.

    2025-04-13: The Apostle John began his journey as an arrogant, power-hungry follower of Jesus, driven by ambition and the desire for status. However, through a profound transformation, he became known as the "disciple Jesus loved," learning valuable lessons that revealed the contrast between his perception of success and the true measure of success in God's eyes.

    2025-04-06: Thomas was one of the twelve disciples who followed Jesus very closely. We best know him as “Doubting Thomas.” This is a harsh nickname and probably the wrong one. It was not doubt driving Thomas, but his disappointment when his expectations of God did not match his current reality. Like Thomas, we've most likely experienced disappointment that has resulted in doubt. Is God really who he says he is? Why did God allow this to happen? Are you even there, God? Can we, like Thomas, sincerely ask to encounter Jesus together in community?

This week, we'll explore Peter's journey, particularly the moment he steps out of the boat to walk on water toward Jesus, only to begin sinking when doubt creeps in. Does walking by faith mean we're always called to step out fearlessly, or does God make space for our doubts along the way?

They tended to act impulsively with their own best interests in mind. To follow Jesus, they had to learn to move from self-serving to self-sacrificing. Let's discover together what it takes to be a disciple, and how we can learn from the lives of the Sons of Thunder.

But the implication of being a disciple was unique for each of them, and it also has unique implications for each of us.

What is not as clear, however, is that you can be alone and be connected. In fact, being alone and being lonely are two very different things. Jesus and his followers, throughout history, have practiced the habit of solitude and silence. Could it be that part of the antidote to loneliness is learning to be alone well?

Successful people make small intentional choices every day that lead to big results over time. We often want results without putting in the work. However, just like planting an apple seed won't grow an orange tree, the seeds we sow in life determine the harvest we reap. The same applies to our lives.

    2024-12-22: The North Pole is the perfect place for Santa to live – it's filled with snow, it's mysterious, and most importantly, unreachable. Santa lives at a distance to keep the magic alive and comes but once a year to give presents to those who are on the nice list. Many believe the same about God. Instead of the North Pole, God is far away in a distant and unreachable heaven. The birth of Jesus tells us a different story about God making his home among us. Discover God's incarnation and how we can experience God's nearness during the season of Advent.

Maybe it was a friend, an older sibling, something we overheard, or something we saw. We grew up in a moment. We no longer believed the make-believe stories we were told as kids. Isn't it interesting that many people who grow up with an element of faith in God have a similar experience? Is it possible that our culture has told us to "grow up", and stop believing in things you can't touch or see or prove? Is disbelief actually a sign of maturity? Or perhaps we lost something when we left our child-like wonder.

    2024-12-08: "He's making a list and checking it twice, gonna find out who's naughty or nice…" Do these lyrics describe Santa or God? The "gospel of Santa" tells us that if we behave well enough, we'll be rewarded on Christmas morning. Otherwise… coal. Could it be that we've allowed this performance-based, fear-driven mindset shape our view of the Father? The Gospel of Jesus tells us we are loved purely because we are His sons and daughters. We cannot earn God's grace and love. So, why do we sometimes find ourselves striving to get on God's "nice list"? This Sunday, we'll explore how embracing the "gospel of Santa" instead of the true Gospel affects our understanding of God and how we live our lives.

    2024-11-10: When someone asks, "How are you?" we often respond with one of two answers: "I'm doing good." or "I've been busy." These responses can reveal something about us—either that we value independence and don't need others, or that we find our worth in being productive. While strength and productivity are not inherently bad, they can sometimes contribute to a sense of loneliness. This Sunday, we'll explore how we can embrace those feelings of loneliness, seeing them as signposts that point us toward a deeper connection with Christ and with one another.

The primary reason had nothing to do with what the Bible says, or teaches, or any conflict with other world-views.

Even beyond that, many people point to the atrocities throughout history done by the church as another layer of motivation to reject Christianity. So… let's talk about it.

And everyone, whether they can articulate it or not, has to put their faith into something or someone. The question is what do you put your faith in? This does not, however, mean that faith is irrational or illogical.
