     | 471 views

    God's Spirit is at work in us, refining us, growing the fruit of the Spirit in us. He is transforming us to be like Jesus. How do we sometimes resist this? What does it mean to see each other as ones who are being transformed by the goodness and grace of God?

    March 2, 2025 Sermon - “Transformed to Be Like Jesus” Nature is an incredible thing. Most of us have likely had our breath taken away at the site of something in creation. Barbara and I spent our 35th anniversary in Jasper, Alberta and I’m frankly still in awe of the extraordinary beauty of that ...read more

    This is a very simple thought that the Lord has been plowing into my heart the last several days. It seems like every circumstance for the past week or so has pointed back to this principle: Love People, Like Things, Live for God.

     | 1,640 views

    We are called to live intentionally, to desire to know who loved us most. This means we live fully for Him, and He gives us a model (and a promise) to follow. It’s not to exalt another human – but to live for God because of His promises! Abram shows us how and why this is important.
