You’re at a crossroads in life. You're facing a decision to make, a conversation to have, a direction to take. Maybe, it's been initiated by the call of God. Internally, what happens next? Most of us go looking for affirmation and advice. In that moment, who will we seek out to join us at the crossroads?

This Sunday, we'll study the Hero of Faith, Barak. A man who was at a major crossroads in life; chosen to command God’...

Moms! They are so important and don’t get nearly enough credit for the efforts they give in carrying a child and then raising that child.

Our Western culture sets aside one day a year to celebrate them but they deserve more. They deserve to be recognized every day because they are giving of themselves every day and often their efforts go unnoticed.

Today we attempt to honour Mothers and give glory to God for his perfect design.

God calls people to live difficult lived, there is no way around it. A life of faith entails self-sacrifice. It entails sharing the Gospel with people who often reject it and you as a messenger. We are called to live lives that honor God, despite the negative effects that may have on our reputation. Let's face it, being actively Christian and being obedient to the word of God is going to cost you. 

This week we're looking at...

We live in a fallen world. We are surrounded by people struggling just to get by in a world that beats them down and just takes. We are those people. 
The world is full of false hopes and idols that make big promises but do nothing to fill the empty void in our hearts. We all grasp at these but there is only one hope that will deliver and that is the hope offered by God. 

We are surrounded by evidence of God’s glory in creation and a...

We invite you to join in with us in celebration of Jesus' resurrection! It is a time where we gather to proclaim that Jesus is alive, and acknowledge that His victory over sin and death is not just a nice story, but a historic event! For nearly two thousand years, Christians have been committing their lives to Jesus and making incredible sacrifices for the sake of the Gospel, and it's all been made possible because Jesus is...

We invite you this Good Friday to come examine the death of Jesus as we provide some reasons and explore why more people do not follow Jesus.

Do you know what Palm Sunday is? 

If you don’t, you aren’t alone. It is a part of what is known as Holy Week but receives less focus than Good Friday and Easter Sunday. It is the day that commemorates Jesus entry into Jerusalem which would begin the week when he would fulfill his purpose on earth. The people of Jerusalem were excited their Messiah had come and lined his path with palm leaves ( a well known symbol of victory). 

The ne...

What comes to mind when you think of the Bible? What would you say the purpose of the Bible is? How do your answers to these questions affect how you actually read the Bible?

First and foremost, the Bible exists to reveal God and His glory to us! And God reveals this to us by telling us an incredible story. A true story of how He has worked in the world for the good of people for thousands of years. There are a ton of stories in the...

Gods calls and the faithful answer.

This week we dive into the life of Moses and see where he came from and where God would call him to his purpose. Like a lot of us, he needed a little push in the right direction but when he accepted his purpose God used him in a powerful way and a nation was delivered from bondage.

We all know what it's like to have our plans derailed. One of the biggest challenges we face is planning our next steps in life, only to find out that those plans simply won't work out. Whether they are plans for work, relationships, where we'll live or whether or not we'll purchase a home, it's really challenging to find out that they aren't going to happen. 

In our lives, we're going to have our plans f...

We like to think that we have life handled and under control. Maybe not all the time, but generally speaking we think our way of doing things is the best way. We want to be the masters of our own domain and we definitely don’t like the idea of anyone else that we need to answer to. Even when that someone else is God. 

This week we look at Jacob. A man who would do almost anything to get ahead and insisted on trying to control his ow...

Everyone knows what it's like to have family drama! Whether we mean to or not, sometimes we just don't get along. Sometimes we do things we shouldn't on purpose, but more often than not, we're more focused on what we want and need than on what others want and need. Often when we hurt someone we love, it's not because we meant to, but simply because we weren't being considerate. 

Trying to navigate these relat...

Do we know what it means to truly put God first? Do we really trust him? Do we know that he will provide?

This week we look at the account of Abraham and Isaac and see what putting God first looks like. We also see what absolute trust in God looks like. We will also see that God provides in many ways and the ways we need him most.

We can say he is first in our lives and that we trust him, but perhaps we need to look deeper than surfa...

We've been studying chapter 11 in the book of Hebrews, looking at the incredible history of the people who followed God and lived their lives in faith. Over the last few weeks we have unpacked many of the different stories about these faith heroes and we've learned a lot about what faith looks like in the life of someone who places their trust in God. 

This week, we are going to dive into the deep question of why these peopl...

Do you have faith in God and his plan for you?

This is a question that we all need to answer. Believing in God is one thing, but trusting God and his plan brings things to a whole different level. Where do you land on this spectrum regarding your walk with Christ? 

Today we will be learning about Sarah. She was a woman who showed great faith, great trust in God and it led to a miracle that she couldn’t have imagined on her own. God k...

Where are you heading in life? Do you have a plan for your future? What does it look like? What needs to work out for you to get there? 

Every day, we reach out and place our trust in the world around us. For example, we trust our employers to pay us and we trust that the grocery stores won't suddenly run out of food. And, because of this trust, we act in a predictable manner- we continue going to work and we don't (generall...

We were created to have great relationships. This sets us apart from every other created thing. We were created to be in relationship with each other, but more importantly, to be in relationship with our Creator, the One True Living God. We’d be wise to seek Him, draw near to Him, walk closely with Him, be faithful to Him. We receive far more than we could ever give. Moreover, a restored relationship with God can significantly aid ...

It’s hard to believe that it’s already week-4 of our Heroes of Faith series! Before we dive into today’s message, I want to do a quick recap of the past few weeks.

1. We started with Hebrews 11:1-3, reconciling with our own existence in the universe, and our personal faith that God created it all.
2. In week 2 we moved to Hebrews 11:4, learning from our first Faith-Hero, Abel. He taught us how to be faithful with our time, talent, an...

If God asked you to give Him the last hour of your life, would you submit it willingly? If God asked you to perform a specific task on the last day of your life, would you do it? If God asked for you to give your last $100 to a specific cause, would you donate it?

Week two of our Heroes of Faith series from Hebrews 11. We’ll learn about a young man named Abel, who had incredible faith, willing to give God his first and his best! And...
