Guest Stephen Roy talks about Luke 13:6-9, a story about a fig tree and a vinedresser who tends the plant. We all need a vinedresser, a gardener who will journey with us and teach us how to follow Christ. We must become fruit-bearing trees through the power of the Gospel and the mentoring of other believers. Are you tending someone? Is someone tending to your spiritual growth? Stephen Roy serves in Hamilton as a missionary with SIM, working with immigrant communities from South Asian backgrounds sharing with them the love of Christ.

"Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name." Chris Coleman talks about his favourite verse, and why it is important to him as he follows the Lord.

"Do not be afraid for those who are with us are more than those who are with them." Fear, anxiety, and worry are experiences that are common to all of us, and it is not surprising that there are so many verses in the Bible that remind us to not be afraid. If we are not reminding ourselves daily about what God says about fear, then we are missing the full picture. In this series, we're asking our speakers to talk about a verse they love and the context it is found. We know you'll appreciate this series, and find a few new verses that you too will love.

Knowing where you are now is important if you want to grow. This sermon is part of the "How to Grow" series based on the book by the same name. Looking at the church in Corinth we see how we must examine ourselves to know where we are in our own spiritual journey if we want to grow in our effectiveness.

The essence of growth is love for God and others

Spiritual growth: is it about God, or us? Spoiler: It's both. "Go beyond self-help. Don't be content with seeking information, a new approach, or superficial change. Don't settle for less than God desires. It's tragic when we succeed at the wrong goal. Our goal in growth must be nothing less than what God intends for us." (Darryl Dash)

Darryl Dash, Pastor and author of "How to Grow" joins us to introduce our new series.

Bill Thornton is the Lead Pastor at Flamborough Baptist Church. He brings a message titled, Soul Care.

As the series in Colossians comes to a close, what are the last words we're left with, and how do they impact us as we make Christ supreme in everything we do?

The Bible has a lot to say about living in right relationships.

Last week we learned that living as Christ followers means that are things we need to put away, and this week we discover the things we need to put on. Because we are God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, we are to live in such a way that we are reflecting His Spirit to those around us.
