I Am: The Good Shepherd

Today Dan shares a message from his "I Am" series on the Good Shepherd, and from the text of John 10:1-18. How do you respond when you hear someone calling out your name? It depends who it is, right? Many of us would still recognize the voice of our mother calling out to us in a crowd… Well, Jesus says that He is the good shepherd and His sheep recognize his voice… Join us as we unpack this text!

Dan Chook Reid “Moving from Distraction to Engagement”

In today's message, our favourite Church Planter, Dan Chook Reid digs into John 20:19-23. Many of us growing up in church have been regularly told we should love our neighbours and share our faith. However, we may have experienced people being pushy, condescending or judgmental in the past. Is there another way? How we do we love people from a posture of being present in our neighbourhoods, families, workplaces and schools?

Advent: The JOY of Jesus

The weeks leading up to Christmas are always busy.  There are presents to be purchased, trees to be decorated, cards to be written, food to be prepared and parties to be planned.  We put a lot of energy and effort into making sure that Christmas is a wonderful time for our family and friends. But what do we do to get ourselves ready for Christmas?  How do we prepare ourselves mentally, emotionally and spiritually to experience the wonder of God coming to be with us? If we aren’t internally prepared for Christmas, we can miss the moment and Christmas can become just another holiday on the calendar.  

Join us at now as we prepare for Christmas together by focusing in on the Joy of Jesus!

Songs of the Summer: The Song for the Despondent

The Psalms are known for the beautiful language of praise and hope. When you are in the deepest valleys these prayers can provide language to cry out to God when you cannot find the words. But what about those times where you cannot see hope or you don't have the ability to break out in praise? In those moments, this psalm is for you. Join us to hear "The Song for the Despondent" as Church Planter Dan Chook Reid shares Psalm 88 and how it can teach us to pray when we feel we have lost all hope.

Ephesians: From Death to Life “Love”

How do you measure love? Can you capture it in interactions, gifts or actions? If love between humans is difficult to measure, how do you even begin to understand God's love for us? Join us as we discuss Paul's prayer that we would grasp, even just a little more, the power of God's love for us. This love has transformed many lives and Paul's prayer is that we would experience the transforming power of this love as well. You won't want to miss it.
