In a world filled with endless podcasts, books, and resources, it might seem like we should have solved many of humanity's problems by now. Yet, when Jesus walked the earth, he trusted that his three…

Before delving into the topics of money, sex, and power, it’s essential to first establish a foundational understanding of standing firm in the gospel. As humans, we often overcomplicate the simplici…

In the Gospel of Mark, we encounter a story where political leaders and teachers try to trap Jesus with a divisive question about paying the imperial tax, hoping to corner him into taking a side. But…

No matter who we are, we are susceptible to money becoming a driving factor in our daily choices. If we're honest with ourselves in this, we may discover that we depend on what our finances can offer…

When we hit rock bottom, we find ourselves in a place of complete dependence on God. In these seasons, God trains our hearts to choose him, much like he did with the Israelites in the wilderness. But…

When we encounter Christ, we meet a God who fully knows our desires and needs. Yet, as we move from this encounter, our circumstances often try to convince us otherwise. Through the Spirit, we have a…

When we think of sin, we typically think of behaviours that are visible and overt. But Jesus raises the bar and diagnoses what’s happening in secret within the human mind. He offers us freedom from s…

As Christians, it is tempting to oppose or distance ourselves from other cultures, beliefs, lifestyles and religions. But when Paul arrives at Athens, he saw beneath the surface of their idol worship…

When the scriptures say that Jesus has given us everything we need, it can be tempting to think of this as hyperbole. But if we are living in him, the truth is that we are connected to an infinite so…

As followers of Christ, we often think and talk about dying to the overt sin in our lives. But, as we grow in him, we are called to also rid ourselves of the more covert and "socially acceptable" sin…

In the face of his imminent death, Jesus reclined at the table and was eager to eat the Passover meal with his disciples. In that moment, they remembered the journey of God bringing the Israelites ou…

In a church, we can have many surface-level things in common: demographics, interests, politics, etc. But, when we are called into "fellowship," we have to yield to its true definition: fellowship in…

For the past year, we've been trained, as a church, to recognize the Spirit and to prioritize his presence amongst us - but what happens after we've oriented our lives to him? As we take our place in…

What if the cry of our city is not for more money or programs, but for God's presence to touch every area and issue it's facing? His presence can only move forth in the city when his presence becomes…

In our faith, we often focus on personal holiness. But have you ever considered interpersonal holiness? As a church, we are called to be a dwelling place for God's presence - together. Our oneness wi…

Just as Jesus picked up his cross, he leads us to the altar to surrender our whole lives into God's hands. How do we follow him in this seemingly impossible task? The source of Jesus' radical obedien…

Through Jesus' parables, we are led to "count the cost" of what it takes to follow him in our lives. This will look different for each of us, but how do we count a cost that seems to be continuously …

As Christians, we can desire to follow Jesus, but are we willing to give him everything? God can only make something of our lives with the parts we’re willing to give him. Jesus leads by example in l…

We are people made for the glory of God. But asking to see more of God's glory, as Moses did, is a dangerous prayer to pray. Experiencing greater measures of God's presence will cause us to reject an…
