If the church viewed helping the needy in our world as if they are caring for Jesus Himself, there’s no way we would sit idly by while they suffered.

On its own, a member of the body of Christ is weak, but when together in community, the whole of the church has strength to carry burdens.

Every Christian needs a church family because growing and maturing is a community activity. When adversity comes, we need to lean on each other.

Do we need to rethink the whole idea of "fellowship"? In this series we're looking at the topic of the church and asking ourselves what it means to be a part of the Body of Christ (the church) and how to demonstrate the love of Christ as we worship and serve.

Crisis is what happens around us, but what God does IN us is what we want to focus on this week.

Pastor Aaron looks at Galatians 6:2 and what it means to carry each other's burdens during this time of isolation and distancing.

How do I lay hold of God's refuge and strength through this difficult time?

If you would like to quench a spiritual thirst, listen to the words of Jesus.

We're finishing out the last message from the "Contending for the Faith" series. Today we look at Contending 101 to see what Jude's final words are to us.

Don't be surprised that there are false teachers – the Bible tells us time and again that they will try to lead God's people astray. And in order to spot the false, we must be familiar with the truth.

What do false teachers look like, what do they do and what will happen to them?

What do we do when people who claimed to believe in Jesus leave the faith and act like unbelievers? What do we do when confronted by untruth in our culture about God and how He is working in the world? How can we stand firm in our faith when the world we live in throws doubt and lies in our face? What can we do? We contend for the faith that has been handed down to us, and we build each other up in that faith.

Ron Martin shares from Psalm 122, a Song of Ascent for the Jewish people as they travelled to Jerusalem. Reverence and gratitude can be experienced when we pray according to God's Word and in living it out.

One of the most effective ways to love others is to share Jesus with them in a genuine way. In this, the final message in the Messy series, we'll look at loving others by trusting Jesus.

Today's message centres on selfless love. Loving others is messy, but it will change our hearts.

Loving others isn't easy. In fact, it's downright messy sometimes. When we read the parable of the Good Samaritan we see that it's important to love those right in front of us, and it will cost us something.

Let's face it: Loving each other isn't easy. Sometimes it's downright messy. We've just come through the busy Christmas season which, for some, has stretched their capacity to show love and patience to new limits. This January we're going to dive into the topic of loving each other with a four-week series that examines the command to "Love your neighbour as yourself” and its uses throughout the Bible.

What does true faith look like? To help us answer that question, Youth Ministries Director Mike Sanders looks at James 2:14-26

The beauty of this season of advent is the gift of peace that Jesus brings.

Looking at Zechariah 9, we see that we have a lot to rejoice about with regard to the coming of Jesus as Messiah. This message is part of the Echoes from the Past series.
