Loving People | Heart, Soul, Mind | Brittany Petkau

The last two weeks we've looked at receiving love from the Lord and giving love back to the Lord. This week we look at the importance of loving people from the place of being filled by the Father's love. 

Loving Him Back | Heart, Soul, Mind | Jordan Bochinski

We continue in the second week of "Heart, Soul, and Mind". Last week we talked about receiving the love of God before we can distribute it, this week we're talking about how to respond to His overwhelming love once we've received it! Why would Jesus say this is our greatest command? What is the character of the One we're called to love? And how exactly do we love Him?

Chasing Freedom | Lydia Brunelle

Welcome to the third week of our series "Chasing Freedom"! This week Lydia Brunelle leads us in how to gain freedom in the Lord in the midst of difficult and trying circumstances. 

Patient Obedience | Jordan Bochinski

Everyone desires freedom, but how do we attain it? In this message we'll talk about how waiting with the Lord in patience leads to obedience, which ultimately leads us into freedom. We also look at the Israelites in Exodus 16 and Exodus 32, were they patient? How did their patience (or lack of) influence their relationship with God? 

The Cry for Freedom | Brittany Petkau

The first scene in Exodus is of the Israelites crying to God for freedom. Enslaved and ensnared in the oppressive culture of Egypt they find themselves utterly helpless, yearning for God to rescue them. The story of the Israelites is really the story of humanity, how we are all in bondage to our sin. Yet, as the Israelites cry out, so do we, and God, in His infinite mercy, answers our cries for freedom. This week we’ll explore the foreshadowing this does to the story of Jesus, and how God answers when we cry out to him.

Ancient Wisdom | Doug + Carolin Sadler | Obedience

Ancient Wisdom: Walk With The Wise

Do you believe you can hear the voice of God? Has your head submitted to your heart? Is it about the gifts of God, or relationship with God Himself? These are all questions Cheryl McMillan poses as she joins us for week two of our newest series through the book of Proverbs.

Ancient Wisdom: Walk with the Wise

Building a Non-Anxious Life

We all experience anxiety on some level ranging from paralyzing for some, intermittent for others, or triggered by certain events, thoughts, or emotions for others. And we've come to treat anxiety as noise that needs to be quieted, but what we don't always realize is that it's actually an alarm trying to tell us that something else in our life isn't right. In the first week of this series, we look to the Bible and professional counsellors to learn practical tools for building a non-anxious life.

In the Words of Angels: Glory to God in the Highest

In the last week of our series on worship, we look at the moment when Jesus left the throne room in heaven and came to earth as a baby, and the way that the angels responded by declaring "Glory to God in the Highest!"
