Read MoreElisha had come to realize that he was able to respond to the Spirit of God best when his mind and spirit were at rest. The hush and calm of his soul was important. He knew that he could not create or control the sovereign Spirit of God, but he could discipline and position himself in a receptive way so as to hear the divine, heavenly voice... Along with Elisha, upon melodious wings may our souls take flight high above the tumultuous camp, leaving behind the distracting dissonance of a broken world, so as to hear the soothing, life-giving voice of the Lord.
Read MoreOn January 31, 2016 Pastor Daniel preached the second message in our Words of a War Prayer series - Is Your Dad the General? As he preached on the words “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name." [Matthew 6:9] he taught using many passages from the Bible that show what it's like to know that God is our Father. Here are some of those verses:
Read MoreAs much as people’s fake detectors are on at highly sensitive levels today, if they do detect authentic faith, it attracts their interest. This verse from Zechariah grabbed my attention. It literally says that people, desperate to find meaning in life, will ‘take hold’ of one of God’s people because they’ve discerned that God is with them, asking that they too might join them.
Read MoreAs someone said, “You can’t teach experience.” It’s true, however, in order to get experience you have to apply and practice what you’re being taught. God graciously loves us and redeems us just as we are, but he loves us too much to leave us that way. We are learning new things and changing all the time, primarily through the people and products that we are around the most.
Read MoreDue to the weather and especially the poor driving conditions we have chosen to cancel Alpha for this evening. We look forward to seeing you for the launch of Alpha next Tuesday night, January 26.
Read MoreIncredibly, it’s nearing the end of the first month of 2016 already... “So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom… Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.” Psalm 90:12, 14
Read MoreWe all have loved ones, neighbours, co-workers, and friends, who need salvation. Faithful time in God’s Word and prayer will compel us to desire that they too taste and see that God is good. Yet, how do we practically go about doing this?
Read MoreSight sees a gate, a roadblock. Faith humbly trusts that God’s purpose for each of us can never be blocked. Peace comes in accepting that God’s plan is best whether an iron gate miraculously opens, or remains locked.
Read MoreAs we give thanks for the blessing of having had such dear ones in our lives, may the strength, hope, and healing of the One born on Christmas Day be ours. “This is what the Lord the God of your father David says: I have heard your prayers and seen your tears: I will heal you.” 2 Kings 20:5
Read MoreSchool is done today for the year which means that Christmas is almost here! I am certain you've been doing many things to get ready for the celebration! I want to encourage you to read the Bible with your family this week so that you are able to keep focused on Jesus Christ, the real meaning of the holiday. In order to encourage your family as you celebrate together, I have included some suggestions of how to read the Bible as a family and some suggested Bible passages.
Read MoreThis video shows some of the highlights from our first ever Drive Thru Nativity. It was an absolutely incredible experience to tell the true story of Jesus' birth to our community! “And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” Luke 2:10-12

And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” Luke 2:10-12
Read MoreHowever, our God, who is Spirit and invisible, has in the most glorious way, revealed himself to us through his Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus, if you will, is God’s Selfie! “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14). At Christmas we celebrate this incredible truth of the incarnation.
Read MoreJesus, in order to be with us in a loving relationship, broke down the barrier of our sin that separates us from God. This redemptive rescue is seen in Matthew 1:21, “She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” God is with us now,
Read MoreSo when his intimidation tactics fail to turn you from Christ, but instead others, through your faithfulness, come to Christ, it’s like he too is jerked back and falls on his face. This is to cheat the Devil, and it’s certainly no sin, but rather glorious to maybe even have a good chuckle at the Devil’s expense.
Read MoreGod at work on our behalf is not to be taken in any demeaning way, as if God needed a job. I, or any of us, could never have done the real work of changing lives apart from him. We are weak, he is ever strong. Apart from his wisdom, we are fools. We are insufficient, he is All-sufficient. In this, our God rightly gets the greater glory. “Whoever serves, let him serve by the strength God supplies, so that in everything God may be glorified.” 1 Peter 4:11
Read MoreI remember swallowing hard, and not being really happy in preparing to give my first tithe. Yet, I also recall a sense of God’s pleasure in my trusting him. When Sunday morning came, I was filled with joy as I gave my tithe and offering in worship. Then, not unlike many others who have since shared with me similar stories, God gave back to me in unexpected, abundant ways that far exceeded what I had given. This left no room for doubting the truth that God was teaching me, as seen in the words of Jesus in Luke 6:38, “give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”
