This week, we'll explore how your everyday work is part of a much bigger story, no matter if you are parenting, building, creating, or leading. Discovering your purpose is less about choosing and more about uncovering what God's already placed in you. Calling flows from identity, and identity comes from knowing Jesus. If you've ever wondered what you're really here to do, this message is for you.

How To Break Out Of The Prison Of Fear | Easter 2025 | Generations Church GP Are you feeling trapped? Paralyzed by fear?

In this powerful Easter message from Generations Church in Grande Prairie, Pastor Travis Hansen unpacks John 20:1–23, revealing how even after Jesus rose from the dead, His closest followers were stuck in fear — not because He wasn't alive, but because they hadn't yet embraced what His resurrection meant for the. ➡️ Are you still locked in the room of fear? ➡️ Has fear been holding you back from the life Jesus is calling you into? ➡️ Do you know that Jesus walks into locked spaces... just to bring you peace? This message will speak directly to your heart if you're battling: Anxiety or panic about your future Fear of failure, rejection, or disappointment Spiritual paralysis or indecision A sense of unworthiness or spiritual disconnection Jesus didn't just conquer the grave — He walks into rooms filled with fear and breathes peace, purpose, and power. It's time to open the door and step out.

In this exploration of Luke 2:41-52, we delve into the profound truth of our identity as children of God. The story of young Jesus in the temple serves as a catalyst for understanding our own spiritual longings and default inclinations toward God. We're reminded that our souls yearn for the things of God, just as Jesus was drawn to His Father's house.Are we following our soul's deepest longing? Are we defaulting to the things of God in our daily lives? By understanding our true identity and pursuing God's presence, we can experience transformation and fulfill our purpose as bearers of His love to the world.Get more out of today's teaching by visiting our Church Online page for things like our community guide, a weekly devotional, and the teaching slides.

In our third week of the Unshakeable series, we dive into the story of Jericho—one of the most well-defended cities in the Promised Land. On the surface, Jericho seemed unshakable, while the Israelites appeared shaky at best. But God had a plan that defied human logic, proving that true strength doesn't come from walls, wealth, or worldly security, but from faith in Him. This message explores how the first battle is always for our worship—what we give our first and best to reveals what we truly trust in. Through obedience and faith, the Israelites watched God bring down Jericho's walls, showing us that when we trust in Him, He provides the victory. Join us as we unpack what this means for our lives today. Are we building on temporary security, or are we trusting in the unshakable foundation of God?

Luke's meticulous account serves not just as a historical document, but as a testament to the truth of Jesus' life and teachings. We're challenged to consider: Can we be certain of our faith in an increasingly skeptical world?Get more out of today's teaching by visiting our Church Online page for things like our community guide, a weekly devotional, and the teaching slides.

In our second week of the Unshakeable series, we're stepping into the story of Joshua and the Israelites as they faced a defining moment—crossing the Jordan River into the Promised Land. Just like them, we all have “Jordan River moments” in life where we must choose between fear and faith, comfort and calling, security and surrender. God invites us to trust Him deeply, step out boldly, and sacrifice what is temporary to take hold of what is eternal. An Unshakeable life isn't built on what's easy—it's built on faith, obedience, and a willingness to follow where God leads, even when it feels risky. So what is God asking you to step into? What is He calling you to sacrifice?

In this teaching on prayer, we delve into the challenging topic of unanswered prayers and disappointment in our faith journey. We're challenged to resist isolation during difficult times and to cling to our faith community. The message invites us to trust God more deeply, surrendering to His will even when it doesn't align with our desires. This requires developing a consistent prayer life, not just in times of crisis, but as a daily discipline that prepares us for life's challenges.Get more out of today's teaching by visiting our Church Online page for things like our community guide, a weekly devotional, and the teaching slides.

Episode page with video and more My guest for Episode #296 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Sherianna Boyle, a renowned psychic healer, speaker, and founder of Emotional Detox Coaching® and The Cleanse Method®. She has written over ten books, including the best-selling Energy in Action: The Power of Emotions & Intuition to Cultivate Peace & Freedom. Her latest book is Just Ask Spirit: Free Your Emotions to Energize Intuition and Discover Purpose. With over 25 years of experience in mental health and wellness, Sherianna integrates psychology, energy healing, and spirituality in her work. Her "Just Ask Spirit" podcast is in the top 5% globally, and she has been featured in major media outlets like Psychology Today, Yoga Journal, and Prevention. In today's episode, we explored the idea that mistakes, particularly those born of brutal honesty, are vital opportunities for growth. Sherianna shared that her favorite mistake was being so candid—delivering feedback that wasn't always received well—that she later recognized as a catalyst for learning and deeper self-awareness. She explained how that raw honesty, while sometimes painful in the moment, ultimately taught her the importance of embracing and processing emotions rather than suppressing them. By owning her truth and inviting forgiveness—from herself and others—she discovered that these so-called mistakes could pave the way for more authentic, supportive relationships and a greater alignment with her inner guidance. Questions and Topics: What is your favorite mistake, and why does it stand out? Can you share a specific story that illustrates this pattern of brutal honesty? Reflecting on those experiences, would you do anything differently in similar situations? Can someone be prepared—or "braced"—for the impact of brutal honesty? What advice do you have for those struggling with the aftermath of a mistake? How can someone uncover the root of their emotional triggers, and what resources would you recommend? In your work, how do you define "spirit" and its role in emotional healing? Who is the ideal audience for your book, and in what situations would it be most helpful?

Prayer isn't just for the ultra-spiritual - it's an invitation for all of us to participate in God's kingdom work!In today's message on intercessory prayer, we learned that:• We were created to be co-laborers with God • Prayer is the primary way we usher in God's kingdom on earth • Intercession is love in action - allowing God to love us into loving others“To clasp the hands in prayer is the beginning of an uprising against the disorder of the world.” - Karl BarthGet more out of today's teaching by visiting our Church Online page for things like our community guide, a weekly devotional, and the teaching slides.

This week, we kicked off 2025 by exploring God's design for truth and how it shapes a full, meaningful life. We learned that the Bible isn't just a book—it's the foundation for how we make decisions, set priorities, and align our lives with God's best.   Through practical examples, we saw how God's Word is like a recipe: when followed, it delivers the life we long for. But ignoring it can lead to regret, emptiness, and brokenness.   As we head into this new year, let's commit to building our lives on God's truth. Whether through the S.O.A.P. method or diving into a weekly devotional, the rhythms we set now will shape the rest of 2025. Let's start strong by letting God's Word light our path!   At 12Stone Church, learn how to Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Purpose and Make a Difference.

As we embark on this new year, we're called to reflect on our spiritual journey and the formative power of our daily habits. The teaching revolves around the importance of intentional spiritual growth and the potential pitfalls of our digital age. Drawing from 1 Timothy 4 and John 10, we're reminded that our spiritual nourishment comes from actively listening to God's voice and following His ways.  The 28-day digital fast challenge presented isn't just about disconnecting from technology, but about reconnecting with God and each other. It's a powerful invitation to detox our minds, reset our priorities, and create space for deeper spiritual encounters. This fast parallels the biblical practice of fasting, where we set aside distractions to focus on our relationship with God.  As we consider our relationship with our devices, we're encouraged to ask: What is truly forming us? Are we allowing God's word to shape our thoughts and actions, or are we being molded by the constant stream of digital information? This challenge is an opportunity to rediscover the joy of undistracted time with God and to cultivate habits that nurture our souls.

Merry Christmas!

The Christmas season often stirs a desire to find satisfaction and joy for ourselves and our loved ones, leading us to seek fulfillment in temporary, worldly things. As Christians, we may still face moments of doubt and lose sight of where true joy is found—only in the hope and confidence of Christ. Every decision we make is like placing a “bet,” and to place our bets wisely, we must examine our daily choices to see if they draw us closer to God or deeper into materialism. When we feel the urge to fill a void with quick fixes, we should pause, bring our desires and doubts to the Lord, and trust in His goodness to guide us toward lasting joy.

As we journey through the Advent season, we're reminded of the profound truth that waiting is an integral part of our faith. The story of the little girl trapped in a well serves as a powerful metaphor for our spiritual lives. Like those rescuers working tirelessly to save her, we too are in a state of anxious anticipation, waiting for God's ultimate rescue. This waiting isn't passive; it's an active process of remaining in Christ, as emphasized in John 15. We're called to abide in Him, to stay close, even when the world seems to be falling apart around us. This proximity to Jesus reveals God's love, which is the true catalyst for our transformation. In our moments of doubt and despair, what we perceive as 'deconversion moments' can actually be invitations to dive deeper into God's grace. Let's remember that we're part of a global, historic movement of faith that transcends our immediate circumstances. When we feel alone or discouraged, we can draw strength from the knowledge that millions of believers worldwide share our journey.

As we enter the Advent season, we're reminded of the profound hope that Jesus brings into our world. The prophet Isaiah's words in chapter 9 paint a beautiful picture of Christ as our 'Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.' This message invites us to reflect on how we perceive God, particularly through the lens of our earthly fathers. Whether our experiences with our dads were positive or painful, we're encouraged to see God as the perfect, everlasting Father who never disappoints or abandons us. This perspective can be transformative, healing wounds left by imperfect earthly fathers and allowing us to experience the deep, unconditional love of our Heavenly Father. As we light the Advent candles each week, we're reminded that Christ's light is growing brighter in our lives, dispelling darkness and bringing hope. This season, let's open our hearts to experience God's fatherly love in new and profound ways. Ethos is a life-giving community committed to keeping Jesus at its Center. We are on a mission to love all people in Jesus' name so that we may all Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Purpose, & Make a Difference.

In a world filled with distractions, we're called to cultivate a countercultural attention to what truly matters. The story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10 reminds us that Jesus values our presence and attention over our busyness. We often find ourselves, like Martha, distracted by many things, but Jesus gently redirects us to the 'one thing' that's truly necessary.

In the Kingdom of God, Jesus is our unwavering anchor, offering hope and unity amidst life's storms. Our hope is firmly rooted in our identity in Christ, while the unity of the Church is strengthened under His name. Each of us is invited to the table of the Lord, encouraged to align with the mind and spirit of Christ. This means examining areas where worldly influences may have distorted our identity in Him, surrendering these at the cross, and embracing the truth of who we are in Christ. If forgiveness or unity feels challenging, reach out for prayer or support. This week, look for one way to display Christ's unbroken unity within your community.

In this teaching, we're reminded that our calling as believers is deeply connected. Drawing from Romans 12, we explore how God has designed His church to function as one body with many members. Just as we often seek direct flights in our travels, we often desire a straightforward path to our spiritual destinies. However, God's design often involves 'layovers' and connections with others.  Ethos is a life-giving community committed to keeping Jesus at its Center.

In our journey of faith, we often find ourselves navigating through stages of construction, deconstruction, and reconstruction. This morning we challenged ourselves to examine our beliefs and how they shape our faith. 2 Thessalonians 2, urges us to 'stand firm and keep a strong grip on the teachings we passed on to you.' As we explore this, we're reminded that true faith leads us to want true beliefs. In our current cultural moment, we're pushed and pulled by various influences, but we must remember that the nicest sounding beliefs aren't necessarily the right ones. Jesus warned us in John 15 that the world might hate us for our beliefs, but that shouldn't deter us from seeking truth. As we wrestle with our faith, let's approach it with both courage and compassion, always looking to Jesus as our interpretive lens for understanding God's heart. This message invites us to develop a faith that doesn't waver, one that's deeply rooted in Jesus and His love, even when it puts us at odds with the surrounding culture.

This sermon addresses the challenges facing the modern church, emphasizing the importance of deep, committed Christian community in a hyper-individualistic society. The pastor explores how genuine spiritual growth occurs within the context of long-term relationships, even through conflicts and difficulties. He contrasts the world's self-centered approach with Jesus' call for unity and love among believers, urging the congregation to resist the temptation to abandon community when things get tough.

As we reflect on our church's journey, we're reminded of the powerful vision to be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do what Jesus did. This isn't just a catchy phrase, but a profound call to discipleship rooted in the practices of the early church. Ethos is a life-giving community committed to keeping Jesus at its Center.

​In this powerful message, we're challenged to embrace a countercultural love in a world dominated by hate. The key scripture, Luke 6:27-36, calls us to love our enemies and do good to those who hate us. This radical love was the hallmark of early Christianity, setting it apart from other religions. We're reminded that Jesus redefined love as 'agape' - an other-centered, sacrificial care for one another. The message draws an interesting parallel between our modern 'two minutes of hate' fueled by media and social polarization, and the propaganda described in George Orwell's '1984'. As followers of Christ, we're called to break this cycle of hate and embrace forgiveness, even when it's difficult. This teaching is deeply relevant to our daily lives, urging us to examine our hearts, confront our own struggles with hate, and strive to embody Christ's love in all our interactions.

In a world that constantly pushes us towards self-centeredness, we're reminded of a profound truth: the cross of Jesus Christ doesn't just save us from our sins, it joins us to a family. This message challenges us to shift our focus from 'I' to 'we,' embracing our role in God's family. The scripture from Galatians 4:4-7 beautifully illustrates how we're adopted as God's children, prompting us to cry out 'Abba, Father.' This family dynamic isn't just a nice idea; it's a transformative reality that should reshape how we view church and our relationships within it. We're called to listen to spiritual mothers and fathers, live as sons and daughters, and grow alongside our brothers and sisters in faith. This perspective offers a powerful antidote to the cultural anthem of self-obsession, reminding us that our destiny is to join a diverse, multicultural chorus praising God. As we navigate our faith journey, let's consider how this family-oriented approach can deepen our spiritual lives and impact our interactions within the church community.

At Covenant Church our mission is to help people to Know God, Grow in Community, Discover Purpose, and Make a Difference. Our culture recognizes that we all search for meaning, but also increasingly rejects a worldview that would help to explain that search. We believe the Bible is clear and explains this search for meaning but revealing that we are all created by God, loved by God, and known by God. We have a purpose, to glorify God with our lives and through his church.

​In our exploration of Judges 2:7-12, we confront a sobering reality: the decline of faith across generations. This passage serves as a reminder of how quickly we can forget God's mighty works. As we navigate our post-Christian landscape, we're called to understand the signs of our times and respond with compassion, not disdain. The rising tide of 'nones' – those unaffiliated with any religion – challenges us to rethink our approach to sharing our faith. We're reminded that evangelism is both a process and an event, requiring patience and explanation in a world that's often hesitant or apathetic towards Christianity. This message urges us to cultivate intergenerational relationships, recognizing that our faith flourishes when young and old work together to fulfill God's purposes. As we reflect on these insights, we're challenged to be the authentic light of Christ in a dark world, offering a genuine alternative to the prevailing culture.

This series is about defining the vision and mission of Covenant Church in Grove City. We will touch on the heart of God, the need in the city, and the role of the church global. However, we will also get specific about the way in which our church body has a mission to reach our city. The plan for reaching our city begins by being a place where people can come in order to Know God and start a relationship with Him.  We will be a church where people who have a relationship with Jesus are encouraged to Grow in Community with their brothers and sisters in Christ. As we grow, we will help people to Discover Purpose  as they begin to see that they too have a role to play in the story of reaching our city and within the church. Our hope is then to challenge and release people to go out and Make a Difference in their world as they help people to get to Know God.
