Stuck in a cycle of disappointment? Striving to better yourself but not quite making it? Struggling with success and failure?
You’re not alone. Jesus points to something far more meaningful and grounded. The resurrection of Jesus makes way for an expectant life, a hope-filled life, and a life where resurrection can come to dark and dead places.
The sacrifice Jesus made on the cross for you and for me points us to a simple need to respond because it meets you right where you are. Join us as we reflect on the significance of the unique love Jesus displayed for each one of us.
Sometimes you think you can’t make a dent in the problems the world is facing. Besides, you feel like you barely have enough to live on yourself. As a result, many times we can become indifferent toward the situations others face, and sadly our response can be one of inaction. Is there another way? Can something make a difference?
It happens to many people. You decide to give the Bible a shot. You sit down with a good translation. But how do you get something out of it? And when you start to understand it, how do you experience God? It might surprise you to discover that the key to experiencing God through the Bible is more than what you can read and understand

Most people believe in heaven, and most people believe they’ll end up there. Can we

Most people believe in heaven, and most people believe they’ll end up there. Can we really know?
The belief that “good people go to heaven” sounds nice on the surface. But it doesn’t make sense. Most people believe in heaven, and most people believe they’ll end up there. Can we really know?
What does the medical profession say about the connection between mental health and spirituality? And how do we handle the rising mental health crisis in the lives of the kids we love? This Sunday, we’ll hear from Dr. Rob Meeder, a pediatrician with a focus on mental health. He’ll look at how we can come alongside our kids to support them in this area, and how we can connect our spiritual life to our mental health.
Burnout seems to be an epidemic these days. Almost everyone seems overwhelmed, overcommitted and overworked. It’s not just killing us, it’s nowhere close to the way God wants us to live. We’ll look at why burnout is running so rampant, and how to ensure you get out of it and stay out of it.
In this podcast Jeff Brodie will dispel myths about mental health and share some of his own personal story. He’ll also share a framework for how we can handle whatever comes our way by paying attention to our soul.
What if you could recapture the magic of the Christmas season? Could you rediscover a hope and joy that seem long lost? Could Christmas bring you back to something more meaningful? This Christmas, join us as we discover a different kind of hope and a fresh joy as we celebrate Christmas Eve together.
In this special Christmas message with Mark Clark, we explore how the birth of Jesus Christ teaches us about the true source of joy and how we can strive to live a life full of joy as believers. We will look at the examples of Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds in the Christmas story and how their actions and attitudes demonstrate a joy that transcends circumstances. We will also discuss the role of faith, hope, and love in cultivating joy in our own lives and how we can spread joy to those around us. Join us as we reflect on the beauty and significance of the Christmas season and learn how to live out the joy that it brings.
What is the secret magic behind the posture of humility? How can you beat pride in your life, and why does God give glory to the humble? In this message, Mark Clark shares how the magic of humility comes to life in the Christmas story.
In this series called The Magic of Christmas , we’ll be talking about the real magic that fills the world and how Jesus entered history to bring us his presence, his love, his grace, his peace, his joy, and his hope. It’s a supernatural story that we want to reach into and grab hold of.
You know that you need to make change in your life, but you just can’t seem to make any progress. You wish you were more loving, more kind, had more joy, were more patient, but it feels like one step forward, two steps backward. How do you leave behind the things that hinder you and move into the things that are best for you? How do you change? What if the Holy Spirit could help? You might be surprised.
Why can the Holy Spirit be a divisive topic? What Spiritual Gift do YOU have? What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit? Join in for this special Q&A as Sydney Jackson interviews Lead Pastor Jeff Brodie!
What a morning to celebrate how Jesus has changed people’s lives and their choice to follow Him. It’s amazing to see what God is doing. Baptism is also a time for all of us to reflect on the death and resurrection of Jesus, and celebrate the freedom He brings us.
In the Christian faith, the Spirit is often best known for acting in a supernatural way. If you’ve been exposed to that, it may have seemed weird, or manipulative, or uncomfortable. When you look at Jesus and the early church you see something different. Something powerful, something impossible made possible, but also something that was a gift for a moment. We’ll be looking at the experiential gifts that can come from the Spirit, how they might look in your world.
A man had been dealing with his illness for 38 years, sitting by a pool waiting for something miraculous to happen, when Jesus singled him out and asked him the question, “Do you want to be healed?” What initially seems like a ridiculous question provokes a deeper look into areas of brokenness in our lives that we may not even recognize are there.
Have you ever struggled to know how to forgive yourself? How to manage that nagging guilt? About your job, your family or your finances? What if you could be forever released from that?
In a time when truth was used as a weapon, and grace was seen as weak, the early church constantly challenged themselves to hold grace and truth at the same time, especially for those who were new to faith.
In a time when culture was polarized and turned inward, Jesus and the early church ran toward messes, reached out to the untouchable, and made space for those who wanted to follow Jesus.
Just because someone claims to be our enemy doesn't mean we must return the favour. When it comes to Jesus & retaliation, how do you decide what is appropriate and good when you feel wronged?
Our reactions reflect our confidence or our lack of confidence in God.
