Life isn’t always easy. Sometimes we feel like we are up against the ropes. Sometimes we feel like we’ve lost the fight - we feel like we have failed. Have you ever felt this way? You’re not alone. God’s Word is filled with people that felt like the whole world was against them. Yet, God is always faithful and dependable. Over the summer we will look at different people in the Bible that felt either alone or a failure and we will see the importance of relying on the power of God to bounce back from difficult - even life-altering - situations. We will see that we can respond with faith and fidelity and watch God work in incredible ways.

We're continuing the Sacred Selfie series by looking at Luke 6. This week is almost like a case study in living out our identity in Christ through “loving our enemies as we love ourselves. Join us live at 9:50 am on Sunday, July 4 for the service.

Pastor Aaron uses Romans 12 to help us change our perspective and shape our ideal "selfie" to what God desires for us to look like.

In this series, we're looking at our identity and how it should be rooted in Christ rather than in our own perception of self.

What does it mean to be "in Christ"? We have a propensity to place our identity in places where they aren't meant to be. This affects our spiritual growth and our relationship with others. This four-week series focuses on the importance of believers’ identity in Christ.

Today we finish off this series. Throughout we hope that you have seen that God is not only present in the frustrating times, God uses them for His good. There were some bandwidth issues this week with our livestream so only the sermon is uploaded.

Today's message deals with the massive topic of reconciliation. The story of reconciliation between Joseph and his family helps us to understand that we can be reconciled to God through Jesus Christ.

In this week's message we see that one of the hardest things to do in life is to take responsibility for our actions, this includes our sin.

Is it right to blame God when life is frustrating? Today we're going to look at the consequences of sin and how we can keep the right perspective when it comes to frustrating times.

What does it mean to wait on God's timing? Am I just supposed to sit and wait when things look bad? Can God's timing be trusted?

This Sunday we will be talking about how Joseph used his God-given talents even when he was in a place like prison. God doesn’t always wait for us to be nice and safe before He uses us. He uses our gifts and character to point others to Himself.

Following a faithful God in frustrating circumstances means being faithful under pressure. To what degree does Joseph manage to do it, and what can we learn from his circumstances? Find out today.

We learn a lot from Scripture about how God was moving behind the scenes in Joseph's life. Today we kick off the series by looking at Genesis 37, and the consequences of envy.

Does the resurrection still matter today, even while we're in the midst of COVID? Yes! We'll see from Scripture that the resurrection bears witness to God's goodness and our need of a Saviour.

The cross was for you! This service will be live on YouTube at 11:00am Good Friday. If you are joining us from home, have some juice and some bread or crackers available so you can take communion with us.

Who is this King? The one of whom the psalmist writes, the Lord exalts and the people worship? He is Jesus, the Messiah!

We can let our lights shine in the darkness, by sharing in the spreading of the gospel in our communities, so that the love of our Lord Jesus is not only seen in action but heard as well.

Today we'll be looking at James 2:14-16 to see how a passionate renewed mind leads to loving our world. We'll be going live at 10:50am with some conversation on the couch, followed by the worship service at 11:00 am.

What does it mean to have our hearts stirred up, but not to have our lives ruled by emotions?

Our minds and intellect help us to know what Christ has done for us, what God is doing in history, and to understand what God is doing in our life.
