John 16:33

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

This is a 3-week series that focuses on John 14-17

This six-week series is built from one message each from six of the Pauline epistles. Mixtapes are made for specific people and usually carry a specific theme, as do the letters Paul wrote to those he loved. This series touches on the topics of freedom, doing good works, growing in grace and peace, steadfastness, knowing our identity in Christ, transformation, living counterculturally, and making a positive change in our society.

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. Understanding when and how the church was built helps us better fulfill that calling. This series examines the early church's life and origin as described in the book of Acts.

While we live in an age of darkness, God offers us a light that cannot be suffocated. This Easter sermon emphasizes Christ’s victory over all darkness, his authority over all powers and principalities, and how the light of Christ transforms the state of darkness into which we are born.

This six-week series examines the season of Lent and the reality of being human and needing God. Through repentance, fasting, and lament, we can realize our mortality, finitude, and need for God’s strength. We can humble ourselves, receive God’s grace, and know that God is changing us to be more like his Son.

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 New Year’s sermon pulls from the encouragement and wisdom found in Zechariah 4:10 (where Zechariah and the other returned exiles are encouraged through a vision to continue the rebuilding of the temple) to show us that starting small might be the better way.

This four-week series for the Christmas season examines the importance of God keeping his promises, revealed in Jesus. Through looking at the Old Testament, we see that Jesus fulfills God’s promise of being with his people, showing his rule over the earth, and giving peace to the world.whether or not to take a job, or where you should retire. But the Bible does give us wisdom for how to make decisions (big and small) and trustworthy guidance that leads us to God’s ultimate will for our lives. This series explores how we can grow in wisdom by leaning on the power of Scripture.

The Bible doesn’t give us definitive answers for every decision we face in life or turn-by-turn directions for our proverbial journeys. You won’t find a verse about where to go to school, whether or not to take a job, or where you should retire. But the Bible does give us wisdom for how to make decisions (big and small) and trustworthy guidance that leads us to God’s ultimate will for our lives. This series explores how we can grow in wisdom by leaning on the power of Scripture.

This five-week series looks at Scripture’s markers of spiritual health, challenging us to examine our own hearts and lives to see where we might need a work of grace and revitalization.
