We believe the church is the body of Christ on earth, working toward fulfilling its calling to prepare humanity for Christ’s return and entry into the kingdom of heaven.

This three-part series is a study of Micah 6:8 and its timeless charge to God’s people today. Seeing how Micah addressed the problems with God’s people during his ministry will challenge the congregation to live in ways that honour God.

This four-week series invites us to consider what Scripture teaches us about true change and transformation and how that differs from the hype and gimmicks that come with a new year. We will look at ways our culture has replaced what is proven and trustworthy with new methods and decide whether the new is as good as the old. Rather than placing our trust in quick fixes, we will discover God’s wisdom for change and transformation.

The new year excites new hope and inspires determination to change in the year ahead, typically through major overhauls of diets, spending, and other habits.

This four-week series begins with a premise rooted in 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, which instructs us to rejoice, pray, and be thankful in every circumstance. That is a challenging command! Can we really rejoice always? Look around. Life is full of messy and difficult situations, over many of which we have little control. This series examines how to find strength in the Lord, practice gratitude, embrace lament, and find support in our community to endure whatever life throws at us with a joyful heart.
