On this solemn Good Friday, we remember the profound sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ. In his suffering, we see the depths of Your love for us. As we reflect on the cross, may our hearts be moved by his pain and inspired by His obedience. Help us to grasp the magnitude of his sacrifice and the grace it offers. Strengthen our faith, that we might follow his example of humility and compassion. In the silence of this day, draw us closer to You, and fill us with hope in the promise of resurrection.

In this message, we explore Jesus’ parable of the unjust judge alongside his entry into Jerusalem. What we discover is unsettling: the crowd wanted power, but Jesus came with peace. They expected justice—but missed grace.

And maybe… we still do.

As we celebrate this day, fill our hearts with joy and our lives with the power of his resurrection. Help us to live as Easter people, sharing the good news of Christ’s victory over death. Let the light of the risen Christ shine through us, bringing hope and love to the world. In the strong name of the risen Christ, we pray.

We’ve all heard that the kingdom of God is like a mustard seed—small beginnings, big results. But what if that’s not actually the point?

What if prayer isn’t about convincing God to listen? In Luke 11, Jesus tells a strange story about a neighbour who refuses to help in the middle of the night. At first glance, it sounds like a lesson about persistence—keep knocking until God finally answers. But a closer look reveals something deeper.

When Peter asks how many times he must forgive his brother, Jesus sets the bar: not seven times, but seventy-seven times—a hyperbolic instruction for no cap on forgiveness. 

This isn’t just a comforting story about being rescued. It’s a disruptive story about a God whose love defies social norms, economic logic, and religious expectations.

In this first message of our Parables of Grace series, we revisit one of the most familiar stories Jesus ever told—the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25–37). But what if we’ve been asking the wrong question?

Stories of unlikable characters. Stories of everyday encounters. Stories with preposterous implications.

This year we return to the most scandalous stories Jesus told — those we’ve come to call his parables of grace.

In this final message of our If/Then series through Ephesians, we unpack Paul’s famous “armour of God” passage — and discover it’s far less about spiritual aggression and far more about communal resilience, subversive grace, and the way of peace.

This teaching wrestles honestly with cultural pressure, sexual ethics, speech, and formation—while holding out a hopeful vision of transformation. Paul’s call is not about moralism, but about waking up to the light of Christ and learning to live as people who reflect that light in the world.

In Ephesians 2, the apostle Paul pivots from humanity’s brokenness to God’s radical grace with one of the most important conjunctions in Scripture: “But God.” In this teaching, we explore how Paul uses language, metaphor, and imagination to describe what God has done in Jesus—and what that means for how we live together now.

In this message, we begin a four-week journey through Ephesians by sitting in the if: a bold vision of Jesus, a high Christology, and a radical redefinition of chosen, predestined, grace, and peace set against the backdrop of the Roman Empire’s gospel of “victory.”

In this series, we journey through Paul's letter to the Ephesians, uncovering the profound "If/Then" truths woven throughout its message. Paul reminds us that if we genuinely grasp who we are—beloved, chosen, and redeemed—then our lives naturally transform.

We explore Mark 2 and the unforgettable story of five friends who refuse to accept the status quo. When a crowd blocks the way to Jesus, they climb a roof, tear it open, and lower their friend down—revealing a bold, relational creativity that leads to forgiveness, healing, and transformation.

In this message, we explore Paul’s surprising approach to spirituality at Mars Hill in Acts 17. Instead of debate, domination, or precision, Paul begins with common ground—quoting poets, honoring spiritual curiosity, and trusting that God meets people even in their confusion.

From smartphones in our pockets to bricks in the story of the Tower of Babel, the question isn’t whether technology is good or bad—but whether we are using it creatively, or allowing it to use us.

Counterintuitive as it may seem, creativity for its own sake, including a creative practice that’s just for you, will draw you closer to God who created all and called it “good.” We hope new sparks fly out from there as we consider creativity in technology, spirit, and relationships. 

After waiting well through Advent we are ready to burst into the new world of the Christ Child arrived in our midst. We invite you to join us for a celebration of Christmas. With six service time to choose from, everyone is welcome.
