The Book of Proverbs – Wisdom for Daily Life

Plan to join us in this brand-new series, as Pastor Brent leads us into an ancient book of wisdom called the Book of Proverbs, in search of timeless truth for decision-making in daily life today.

Those crazy widows

Devalued. Overlooked. Underestimated. Sometimes God’s most faithful followers are the ones the world is least likely to see. Join us in our latest message series, as we explore the lives of seven women in the Bible who demonstrate what faith can look like regardless of our personal circumstances.

Right with God

Have you ever looked at other Christians and wondered what they know that you don’t know? Have you ever longed for a real connection to God, but never seem to be able to get there? Have you ever started to wonder if it’s even possible? In this 3-week teaching series based on Romans 4, Pastor Brent exposes three lies that keep people from feeling that they can ever truly be right with God.

Before Fa-la-la

You can’t avoid it this time of year. It’s in your home. It’s in your car. It’s even in the shopping centres and grocery stores. It’s Christmas music! Bing Crosby’s White Christmas.

Armour of God

Living for God is hard. So many distractions. So many temptations. The good news? Everything you need to know about how to guard your life to follow Jesus can be found in a few short paragraphs at the end of one of the Apostle Paul’s letters in the Bible.

Messiah

We’ve all seen the pictures of the tiny baby in the manger of Bethlehem: wholesome, unassuming, and seemingly innocent. But of course, no other baby has ever impacted the world nearly so much. What is it about Jesus that draws people to Him? What is it that has caused people in every generation to completely reorient their lives around Him? What is it that had people anticipating his birth hundreds of years in advance? In this seasonal series of messages by Pastor Brent called “MESSIAH: Four Things You Can Expect From the Saviour of the World”, we trust some of these questions might begin to find answers, as we explore four things you can expect from the Saviour of the world.

Church on Purpose

On any given Sunday morning, churches all over the countryside are quietly filled with people worshiping God together. But what is the purpose of the local church? Why does it exist?

The Fruit of the Spirit

You can’t produce it on your own. It can’t be synthesized, manufactured, or manipulated into being. But as we commit ourselves daily to following Jesus, there is a whole garden of positive personal qualities that God begins to produce in us. In this series of messages on the Fruit of the Spirit, we explore the nine biblical virtues that ought to characterize everyone who calls themselves a follower of Jesus.
