     | 228 views

    God opens doors the world closes, sending Spirit-led people to welcome all, proving His unstoppable grace when culture says no.

    Good morning, friends. Today we begin with a question: What do you do when the place you hoped would welcome you says there’s no room? That’s the question at the heart of Acts 8. > “An angel of the Lord said to Philip, ‘Go south to the road—the desert road that goes down from Jerusalem to ...read more

    A Spirit Filled Church

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025
     | 167 views

    A Spirit-filled church receives the power of the Holy Spirit to witness for Christ, live in unity, and finish God’s final mission.

    There is a picture of the church in the book of Acts that stands as both our history and our calling. It is a picture of a community awakened, empowered, and united by the Holy Spirit for the fulfillment of God’s final purpose in the world. Acts does not begin with a church capable of such a ...read more

     | 4,358 views

    Life is often a matter of focus? As we follow Christ, we can focus on the struggles and persecution we might endure. Or we can focus on the benefits, eternal and glorious, of continuing to follow Christ. Hebrews 2 encourages us to do the latter.

    The Cost of Abandoning Christ Hebrews 2:5-14 A few years ago we had what we called a water bottle outreach at Lazy 5 Recreational Area. It was during one of the music festivals they used to have there, before Covid, on weekday summer evenings. We would hand out water bottles and invitations to ...read more

    The church can turn its problems into opportunities for growth if it meets needs by mobilizing people so the leaders can maintain the priority of prayer and the word.

    Some time ago, wolves were picking off the livestock of ranchers at an alarming rate, so the state offered a bounty of $5,000 for every wolf killed. It turned Sam and Jed into fortune hunters. Day and night they searched the mountains and forests looking for their valuable prey. Exhausted one ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,296 views

    God alone deserves the place of priority in our lives. And that means we can’t even put ourselves before Him. He has the place of priority. He comes first. This message talks about what it means to put God before ourselves.

    Over the past couple of weeks we’ve been going through our Canadian Idols series of messages. The first week we talked about what an idol is: it’s anything or anyone that takes the place of God in our lives. It’s whatever we place in that place of priority in our lives which pushes God aside. We ...read more

    The Incarnation of the Word I love the accounts of the nativity, the birth of Christ that we find in the gospels. I love the story, I love lingering with the story, I love its innocence, its directness and its simple beauty. I also love it because I love understatement. Before going to seminary ...read more
