What now? It's a good question to ask once you have experienced the transforming power of the ruler of the universe! It's a good question to ask everyday as you seek to follow Jesus. The truth is God did not save us for our own benefit but his good purposes and pleasure! Paul directs the church to focus their attention outward, to Devote themselves to prayer rather than simply Default to prayer, to call on God to make His good news known and spread. Paul also calls us to Proclaim that message with grace, creativity, and urgency, the world is waiting to hear the message of the King. Greater is a series through the book of Colossians.

Slavery is not something that is widely accepted anymore and for good reason. But when it comes to circumstances and situations in which Jesus has not released us we are faced with the question, how do we respond. The Gospel reforms our perspective and transforms our motivation. Whether our situation is favourable or not, our aim because of the Gospel should be to glorify Jesus.

Children obey your parents! Wow what a thought, but in a world that encourages a person to venture off on their own and do things their way that isn't easy. Fathers do not provoke your children? Raising children to know and love Jesus is not always easy either. But with a reformed heart, a new self, and the power of the Spirit we can follow the examples God has set for us. If Jesus is the example of obedience in all things then the Father is the example of loving discipline. Greater is a series through the book of Colossians.

Giving up our own desires for the sake of others is not easy, especially when you are married. Every relationship is broken before it even begins and is susceptible to the fallen nature of our world. But the good news of the Gospel is that through the Spirit and the new self he is giving us we can overcome ourselves and truly lay our lives down for our spouse. We can experience the completeness and wonder of true love! Greater is a series through the book of Colossians.

Mental Health matter to us all, we need to care for the vitality and well being of our minds just as much as our bodies and our souls. We need a holistic approach and that takes help. We need each other. This series aims to help alleviate the stigma of mental health and mental illness and bring the good news of the gospel to bare on our mental health. So how do we respond, with hope. Empathy opens the door for hope to enter, empathy is our presence with people in the darkness, in their pain and hope is the soft glow of our candle in the night. Brene Brown offers a very clear definition of empathy, we tried showing this in our gathering but unfortunately had some technical difficulties. (You will notice a gap near the beginning where we tried to show the video). Even in the darkest moments of life the hope have in Jesus is the light in the darkness.

Feelings of unresolved guilt can be detrimental to our physical, mental, and spiritual health so how do we deal with them? In this message we explore two types of guilt, true guilt which requires repentance, and false guilt which requires healing. The good news is that when we acknowledge our struggles we can disarm the condemning voices and be free of feelings of guilt.

Shame is the negative emotions and feelings about who we are as people. Often times we feel as though our mental illness or lack there of is what determines our value as a person, but we are not our illness. We are made in the image of God and our value is measureless! Shame is fuelled by fear of all sorts and it isolates us and holds us captive. But the good news is the gospel strips shame of all its power, so we don't have to be alone.

It really is the most wonderful time of the year! Join us Sundays this December as we revel in the wonder of Christmas! The way we celebrate things like Christmas says a lot about what we believe. The feasts that God gave to Israel were important because they reminded them of what God had done and pointed them toward what He would do. Every party, feast, and celebration, every meal for that matter, are all shadows of a greater celebration. Christmas, with all its trimmings and traditions, reminds us of all that God has done for us and proclaims His glory to a watching world.
