This week, Pastor Lori and our Costa Rica Missions Team shared stories and reflections from their recent trip. We heard about the people they met, the ways they were able to serve, and some of the moments where they saw God at workin the communities they visited and in their own lives as a team. More than simply a recap of where they went and what they did, this was an opportunity to celebrate what God is doing through His Church across cultures and borders. As we listened to their stories, we were reminded that mission is something we all get to be part of as we follow Jesus togetherwherever
In this message from our Weird series, When Jesus Needs Two Tries, we explored one of the strangest healings in the Gospels. In Mark 8, Jesus heals a blind manbut instead of everything becoming clear at once, the man first sees people who look like trees walking around. Jesus touches him again, and only then does he see clearly. This sermon reminded us that Jesus was never struggling to heal the man. Instead, this unusual miracle gives us a picture of how Jesus often works in us: sometimes transformation happens instantly, but often it unfolds gradually. We are invited to trust Jesus in the bl
In Jesus & The Storm, Pastor Matt explored the story of Jesus walking on the water in Mark 6. What begins as a frightening night on the lake becomes a powerful revelation of who Jesus is. The wind and waves that leave the disciples exhausted and afraid are not a threat to HimJesus doesnt struggle against chaos and darkness; they become the ground beneath His feet. This message reminded us to prioritize time with God even in the demands of everyday life, to remember that Jesus is not struggling to overcome the things that overwhelm us, and to trust that He does not avoid our stormsHe enters the
In this message from our Weird series, When Jesus Gets Uncomfortably Close, we explored the healing of the deaf and mute man in Mark 7a miracle where Jesus touches, sighs, and speaks in deeply personal ways. Rather than healing from a distance, Jesus draws near, reminding us that He is not afraid of our brokenness or our pain. This sermon invited us to consider that God's work in our lives is often deeply personal before it is public. Jesus doesn't simply solve our problemsHe meets us in them. His nearness may feel uncomfortable at times, but it is in that closeness that we experience His comp
In this message from our Weird series, When Jesus Sounds Harsh, we explored the surprising encounter between Jesus and the Syrophoenician woman in Mark 7. At first glance, Jesus' words seem difficult to understand, but as the story unfolds, we discover a deeper picture of faith, humility, and the widening reach of God's grace. This sermon reminded us that even when we don't immediately understand Jesus, we can trust His character. The woman's persistent faith becomes an invitation for us to keep coming to Him with honesty and confidence, knowing that His grace reaches farther than we often ima
In this message, Names of God, Pastor Matt explored two of the foundational names God uses to reveal Himself in Scripture: Elohim and Yahweh. These names do more than describe Godthey reveal His character. As our powerful Creator and the personal, covenant-keeping Lord, God invites us to know Him not as a distant force, but as One who is both sovereign over all creation and intimately present with His people. This sermon encouraged us to move beyond simply knowing God's names to knowing the God they reveal. As we grow in our understanding of who He is, our trust deepens, our worship expands, a
In this message, Pastor Cyrille, again with translation help from Max Cloutier, continued exploring the theme of faith, focusing on how faith shapes the way we live and how we are seen by God. Looking at the examples of faithful men and women throughout Scripture, he reminded us that faith is more than beliefit is a life of trusting God, obeying His Word, and walking confidently in His promises. This sermon encouraged us to recognize that God delights in faith. As we place our trust in Him, our lives are transformed, our perspective changes, and we grow in confidence that He is faithful to acc
In the opening message of our Weird series, When Jesus Walked Away, we explored one of the more surprising moments in the Gospelswhen Jesus intentionally stepped away from people who still wanted Him. Through this story, we discovered that faithfulness is not the same as saying yes to every opportunity. Even Jesus lived with clear priorities, healthy boundaries, and a deep commitment to the Father's calling. This sermon invited us to consider the difference between being driven by every demand and being led by God's purpose. Following Jesus doesn't always mean doing more; sometimes it means ha
In this message, Pastor Cyrille explored the biblical theme of faith and its essential place in the life of every believer. Beginning with our salvation, he reminded us that faith is how we respond to God's grace and enter into a relationship with Jesus. He then looked at faith as one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, before concluding with how faith empowers us to walk faithfully into the purposes and calling God has for our lives. This sermon encouraged us to see faith as more than a single moment or decision. It is the foundation of our relationship with God, a gift He gives for the strength
In this message from our Stuff Youve Googled series, we explored one of the most common phrases people turn to in times of suffering. While it may be well-intentioned, we discovered that Scripture offers something deeper than easy explanations. The Bible doesn't promise that every painful event was individually planned by God, but it does promise that God is able to bring redemption, hope, and purpose even from the hardest circumstances. This sermon invited us to stop searching for simple answers and instead anchor ourselves in the character of God. Even when life doesn't make sense, we can tr
In this message from our Stuff Youve Googled series, I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me, we explored one of the most quotedand often misunderstoodverses in the Bible. Looking at Philippians 4, we discovered that Paul was not talking about achieving every goal or overcoming every obstacle. He was speaking about learning to remain faithful and content in every circumstance, whether in abundance or in need. This sermon reminded us that Christs strength is not given so we can do whatever we want, but so we can endure, trust, and follow Him through whatever life brings. Because o
In this message from our Stuff Youve Googled series, Youre Never More Safe Than When You Are in the Will of God, we examined a phrase that sounds reassuring but doesnt quite fit the story of Scripture. Looking at the life of Paul and the experiences of the early church, we discovered that following Jesus did not make their lives safer, easier, or more comfortable. Instead, it often led them into places of risk, sacrifice, and uncertainty. This sermon reminded us that Gods will is not a guarantee of physical safetyit is a promise of His presence. The goal of the Christian life is not to avoid d
In this message from our Stuff Youve Googled series, God Wont Give You More Than You Can Handle, we explored a phrase that is often offered as comfort but can leave people feeling isolated when life becomes overwhelming. Looking at 2 Corinthians 1, we discovered that Paul himself experienced circumstances that were far more than he could handle, and that was precisely where he learned to depend on God. This sermon reminded us that the Christian life is not built on self-sufficiency but on God's sufficiency. Life will sometimes be more than we can carry on our own, but it is never more than God
In this message from our Stuff Youve Googled series, God Helps Those Who Help Themselves, we explored a phrase that sounds biblical but actually points in the opposite direction of the gospel. Looking at Titus 3, we were reminded that Gods mercy is not a reward for the capable, the successful, or the self-sufficient. It is a gift given to people who are in need. This sermon invited us to let go of the pressure to prove ourselves worthy of Gods help and to honestly acknowledge our dependence on Him. The good news of the gospel is not that God helps those who have it all togetherit is that God m
In this message from our Stuff Youve Googled series, Follow Your Heart, we explored one of the most common messages in our culture and asked whether it actually leads us toward life. While following our hearts can sound freeing and authentic, Scripture reminds us that our hearts are often conflicted, wounded, and shaped by desires that cannot always be trusted to lead us well. This sermon invited us to move beyond simply looking inward for direction and instead learn to be formed by the voice, wisdom, and presence of God. Jesus does not call us to blindly follow every feeling or impulse, but t
In the opening message of our Stuff Youve Googled series, When God Closes a Door, He Opens a Window, we explored one of the most common Christian clichs and asked whether it actually reflects the heart of Scripture. While the phrase can sound comforting, we discovered that following Jesus is not primarily about searching for the next open doorits about learning to trust God even when we dont understand what He is doing. Looking at the story of Pauls attempted evangelism in Acts 16, this sermon reminded us that sometimes closed doors can become places where our trust deepens, our character is f
David Ong - In this guest message, When Rescue Is Ready, David Ong walked us through Ephesians 2:110 and reminded us of the rescue God has provided through Jesus. Before Christ, we were spiritually lost and separated from Godbut in His grace, God moved toward us. Salvation is not something we earn or achieve; it is a gift given through the love and mercy of Jesus. This sermon encouraged us to remember both the depth of our need and the beauty of Gods rescue. And because we have been rescued, we are now invited to live differentlywalking in gratitude, humility, and sharing the story of what God
In this message from our IRL: Faith for Everyday Life series, Online, we explored what it looks like to follow Jesus in the digital spaces we inhabit every day. From what we say to what we consume, our online lives are not separate from our faith. They reveal our hearts, shape our thoughts, and influence how we see others. This sermon invited us to slow down and pay attentionto the tone of our words, the posture of our responses, and the kind of content we allow to form us. As we follow Jesus, even online, we are called to reflect His character with humility, wisdom, and love. Our presence in
In this message from our IRL: Faith for Everyday Life series, At Work or School, we explored what it looks like to follow Jesus in the places where we spend so much of our time. Faith isnt something we leave at the doorit shapes how we show up, how we work, and how we treat the people around us. Even in ordinary tasks and everyday interactions, our lives can reflect something deeper. This sermon invited us to notice the ways we can driftcutting corners, losing perspective, or slipping into cynicismand to return to a better way. As we follow Jesus, we are called to live with integrity, faithful
In this message from our IRL: Faith for Everyday Life series, In the Neighbourhood, we looked at what it means to live out our faith in the places just beyond our front doors. Through the story of the Good Samaritan, we were reminded that being a neighbour is less about proximity and more about postureseeing people, slowing down, and responding with compassion. This sermon invited us to move past distraction, busyness, and hesitation, and to step into a different way of living. As followers of Jesus, we are called to be present and intentional, becoming people who reflect His love in practical
In this message from our IRL: Faith for Everyday Life series, At Home, we explored what it looks like to follow Jesus in one of the most personal and everyday spaces of our lives. Home is where our faith is often most visibleand sometimes most tested. Its where habits are formed, words are spoken, and the reality of our relationship with God quietly plays out. This sermon invited us to see that God cares deeply about what happens in our homesnot in a distant or demanding way, but as a Shepherd who is present and forming us. As we follow Jesus, even in the ordinary moments, our homes can become
Easter Sunday - In this Easter Sunday message from our Because He Lives series, Because He Lives We Can Have New Life, we celebrated the resurrection not just as something that happened, but as an invitation extended to each of us. Because Jesus rose from the dead, forgiveness is real, hope is alive, and new life is availablenot someday, but right now. This sermon brought us to a clear and personal moment: the life Jesus offers is not automatic, but it is freely given to those who receive Him. Because He lives, your past does not define you, your sin does not hold you, and your future is not c
In this message from our Because He Lives series, Because He Lives We Are Made New, we explored what it means to be a new creation in Christ. Because of Jesus death and resurrection, our identity is no longer defined by our past, our failures, or the labels weve carriedwe are made new. This isnt just a future promise, but a present reality that reshapes how we see ourselves and how we live. This sermon invited us to recognize the ways we can drift back into old identitiesthrough familiarity, shame, lingering voices, or simply not knowing how to live differentlyand to anchor ourselves again in
In this message from our Because He Lives series, Draw Near, we were invited to rethink what it means to come close to God. Because of Jesusour great High Priestthe distance has been removed. We dont approach God based on our performance or how put together our lives feel, but through what Christ has already done for us. This sermon reminded us that we are not waiting for an invitationweve already been given one. Because He lives, we can come near with confidence, honesty, and trust, knowing we will be met with grace, mercy, and the presence of God Himself.
In this message from our Because He Lives series, Love Moved First, we looked at what the cross reveals about who God is. Before we reached for Him, before we cleaned ourselves up or got it right, God moved toward us in love. The cross is not a response to our effortit is the starting point of our relationship with Him. This sermon invited us to lay down the idea that we have to earn Gods love and instead receive what has already been given. Because Jesus lived, died, and rose again, we dont live trying to be acceptedwe live from the place of already being loved.
