Proverbs 4:23 tells us, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it,” while Romans 12:1-2 calls us not to be conformed to the patterns of this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds as we offer our whole lives to God.We'll see how our hearts are constantly being shaped by what we see, desire, think about, and ultimately love—and how real transformation happens as the gospel reshapes our hearts around Jesus.

We begin a short three-week series called “What Has You?”, looking at how our eyes, heart, and hands are connected.We begin in Genesis 3 with Eve and the fruit, where we see a sobering progression: she saw, she desired, and she took. What captures our attention can begin to shape our desires, and what shapes our desires eventually directs our lives.The question this week is simple: What has your eyes? In a world constantly competing for our attention, we'll consider why what we look at matters spiritually and why the answer is not simply looking away from the wrong things, but learning to fix our eyes on Jesus.What captures your eyes shapes your heart, and what shapes your heart directs your life.

In this message, we'll explore 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 and discover how God displays His surpassing power through weak people. As fragile "jars of clay," we often face suffering, discouragement, and weakness, yet the priceless treasure of the Gospel reminds us that our hope is not in ourselves but in Christ. We will learn how God's power sustains us today and prepares us for eternal glory.

Have you ever been in a spiritual drought? A Spiritual drought is a time where you feel completely empty, cold and disconnected from anything to do with Jesus. Can you relate with this?We are going to look at how we can fight a spiritual drought in our lives by looking at Psalm 23 in this week's message.

In this message, we dive into Philippians 1:12-18, where Paul shifts the Philippians' perspective from his chains to Christ's work through the advance of the gospel. This passage challenges us not to view suffering and setbacks as interruptions to God's purposes, but as opportunities to see the gospel move forward. We also see that when the good news of Jesus is at work in our lives, our desire for Christ to be known and proclaimed grows, something we'll see clearly in the Apostle Paul.Brad Lytle will also be sharing about a church-planting effort in the northern city of Flin Flon, MB, that his family, along with two other families, will be stepping into. They are seeking to be sent out from their home church, Emmanuel Baptist Church in Nipawin, SK, to plant Redeemer Baptist Church in Flin Flon in the summer of 2027.Brad and his wife, Christina, have four children (two boys and two girls). Brad currently serves as the Dean of Student Life at Nipawin Bible College and is a member of Emmanuel Baptist Church. He will be serving as the Lead Planter-Pastor while also working part-time. Their desire is to see a gospel-preaching church established in the North that exalts our Redeemer, Jesus Christ, by making disciples in Flin Flon, Creighton, and beyond.

After restoring Peter, Jesus calls him to stop looking sideways at someone else's path and simply follow Him—keeping his eyes upward, not sideways at others. We are reminded that comparison distracts us, obedience is personal, and faithfulness means trusting Jesus with the path He has given us.

John 17 is known as the High Priestly Prayer. Just hours before going to the cross, Jesus prays for His disciples. He first prays that people would see Him for who He truly is. Next, He prays that His disciples would remain faithful and not wander from the truth. Finally, Jesus prays for the unity of the Church.

As Jesus prepares His disciples for His departure, He knows they are filled with confusion, fear, and sorrow. Yet rather than leaving them discouraged, He gives them hope. Jesus promises the coming of the Holy Spirit, who will guide, comfort, and strengthen His people. He assures them that their sorrow will one day turn to joy and that, despite the troubles they will face in this world, they can have peace because He has overcome the world.In this message, we discover how Jesus meets us in our fears, sustains us through our struggles, and gives us joy and peace that circumstances cannot take away. Whether you are facing uncertainty, disappointment, or difficulty, John 16 reminds us that our confidence rests not in ourselves, but in the victorious Saviour who reigns over all things.

In a culture that encourages us to find our identity, purpose, and satisfaction in success, relationships, accomplishments, or possessions, Jesus points us to a better way. He teaches that lasting spiritual fruit is produced not through self-effort, but through abiding in Him. As we explore this passage together, we will discover what it means to remain in Christ, why God lovingly prunes His people for greater fruitfulness, and how a close relationship with Jesus leads to a life marked by joy, obedience, and spiritual growth.Whether you have been following Jesus for many years or are simply exploring faith, John 15 offers a powerful invitation to draw near to Christ and experience the life that only He can give.

Life has a way of troubling our hearts. We face uncertainty, disappointment, loss, anxiety, and questions about the future. As Jesus gathers with His disciples on the night before the cross, their hearts are troubled as well. Everything they expected seems to be falling apart. Yet in the middle of their fear, Jesus gives them a promise that still speaks to us today: “Let not your hearts be troubled.” This is easy to hear, but a reality that's hard to live. In this message, we discover how Jesus meets troubled hearts with three incredible gifts: a secure future, access to the Father, and His abiding presence through the Holy Spirit. We'll see that the answer to our deepest fears is not better circumstances, but Jesus Himself. Whether your heart is heavy, anxious, weary, or simply in need of encouragement, John 14 reminds us that Christ has not left us alone and that true peace is found in Him.

John chapter 13 to 17 takes place in the upper room and we see Jesus preparing His men with some final instructions. Some scholars have referred to the upper room as a war room. We are going to look at three lessons from the war room in this message.

We come to one of the most powerful and humbling moments in the life of Jesus — washing His disciples' feet in John 13:1-20.On the very night before the cross, the One who held all authority in His hands wrapped Himself with a towel and took the place of a servant. In this message, “The Towel and the Cross,” we will see that true greatness in the Kingdom of God is not found in power, status, or recognition, but in humble love and sacrificial service. More importantly, we will discover that before we can serve Christ, we must first allow ourselves to be served and cleansed by Him.In this message, we look at the Servant King who loved His own to the very end — and what it means for us to become “people of the towel” in a world obsessed with self-promotion and power.

During the Feast of Dedication (Hanukkah), Jesus stands in the temple and boldly reveals who He truly is — the Shepherd sent from the Father, the One who gives eternal life and holds His sheep securely in His hands. Yet even standing face to face with Jesus, many still refused to believe.Together we'll explore what unbelief really is, why people resist Jesus even when the evidence is clear, and the incredible comfort found in belonging to the Good Shepherd.

In this message, we look at one of the most loved images in all of Scripture: Jesus as the Good Shepherd.In a world filled with competing voices, Jesus says that His sheep know His voice and follow Him. This passage reminds us that not every voice leads to life—but Jesus is the Shepherd who knows us, calls us by name, leads us, protects us, and ultimately lays down His life for His sheep.

This week we'll look at one of the most powerful signs in the Gospel of John—Jesus healing a man born blind. But this miracle is about far more than physical sight. It reveals something deeper about all of us.In John 9, we see two kinds of blindness: a man who cannot see but is given sight by Jesus, and religious leaders who can see physically but remain spiritually blind. Through this, Jesus shows us that our greatest need is not improved circumstances, but opened eyes.As the Light of the World, Jesus alone can bring us out of darkness and into true sight. And the question the passage presses on us is simple but searching: Do we truly see Jesus for who He is?In this message, we explore how Jesus opens blind eyes, exposes false sight, and calls us to respond—not just with understanding, but with faith and worship.

In this message, we are going to see Jesus have a show down again with the Pharisees in John 8. The Pharisees try to trap Jesus by bringing a woman to Jesus who was caught in adultery. The Pharisees thought they had a bulletproof trap; the thing that the Pharisees do not understand is that you can never trap God. We are going to look at how Jesus responds when His authority is questioned.

We're in John 7—a chapter full of tension, questions, and divided opinions about Jesus. Everyone seems to have something to say about Him, but very few truly understand who He is. In the middle of all the confusion, Jesus stands and makes a clear invitation: “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.”John shows us that Jesus doesn't leave people neutral—you can be around Him, hear Him, even have opinions about Him, but eventually you have to decide what you will do with Him. We will look at what it means to move from curiosity about Jesus to truly trusting Him.

Six days before the Passover, Jesus is in Bethany, and we're given a glimpse into how different people respond to Him. Mary pours out an extravagant offering of perfume at Jesus' feet—an act of love, devotion, and worship that seems excessive to some, but Jesus calls it beautiful. At the same time, Judas responds with criticism, revealing a heart far from Jesus despite being close to Him.In this passage, we're confronted with a question: What is Jesus worth to you?Mary shows us that when you truly see Jesus for who He is, worship becomes costly, personal, and unreserved. Judas reminds us that it's possible to be around Jesus and still miss Him completely.In this message, we'll explore how seeing Jesus clearly reshapes what we value, what we hold onto, and what we're willing to give.

In one of the most powerful moments in Scripture, Jesus calls Mary by name—and everything changes. It's a reminder that Easter isn't just an event to believe in, but a Saviour who knows us, calls us, and invites us into new life. We see how the risen Jesus meets us right where we are and calls us to follow Him.

This Palm Sunday, we are looking at John 12:12-19 and what the triumphal entry of Jesus reveals about how He would reign. The crowds wanted Jesus to take political power and overthrow the Roman Empire by force—but this is not how His Kingdom works.The triumphal entry points to a greater Kingdom, one that is already here. We will look at three things this moment reveals about how Jesus rules and reigns.

We are stepping into one of the most powerful and personal moments in the Gospel of John—the raising of Lazarus in John 11. It's a story many of us know, but it speaks directly into the places where life feels confusing, delayed, or even hopeless. What do we do when it feels like Jesus is late? When prayers seem unanswered? When loss is real?In this passage, Jesus doesn't just perform a miracle—He reveals who He is: “the resurrection and the life.” We'll see His compassion, His authority over death, and the hope He offers to everyone who trusts in Him. If you've ever wrestled with disappointment or wondered where God is in the waiting, this message is for you.

In the previous message, we saw the miracle of Jesus feeding the five thousand—a sign pointing to something greater. This week we hear Jesus explain that sign as He declares, “I am the Bread of Life.” In this passage Jesus reveals that He did not come merely to provide temporary bread, but to give eternal life through Himself.

We come to one of the most well-known moments in Jesus' ministry—the feeding of the five thousand. A massive crowd gathers around Jesus, bringing their needs, their expectations, and their hunger. With only a small boy's lunch, Jesus performs a sign that leaves everyone astonished.But John wants us to see something deeper than a miracle. This sign is pointing to who Jesus really is and what He came to provide. The crowd thought they needed bread for the day, but Jesus came to offer something far greater.Later that night, the disciples find themselves alone in the middle of a storm, struggling against the wind and the waves. And once again Jesus reveals something about Himself that forces a deeper question: who is this man who provides for the hungry and commands the sea?These two moments press us toward the same question John has been asking throughout this Gospel: Who is Jesus?

In this message, we look at John 5 where we see the miracle at the pool of Bethesda. This sign points us to something far greater than physical healing. Jesus reveals Himself as the Son who has authority to give life and to judge—the One whose voice calls spiritually dead people to life even now.The question John 5 presses on each of us is not simply whether we admire Jesus, but whether we have heard His word and believed, passing from death to life. Our prayer for our church is that we would honour the Son, trust His finished work, and walk in the new life He alone gives.

In this message, we will see a high-ranking official approach Jesus and plead with Him to heal his son, who was sick at home. Jesus' response to him and the crowd is rather strange. He knew the crowd were fans of Him and would never become His followers.The man continues to plead with Jesus to heal his son. Jesus heals him, and the man believes Jesus' words. As a result, he and his whole household become followers of Jesus.We will look at what a fan of Jesus looks like and what a follower of Jesus looks like.
