    The message is a reflection on the sacrifice of the Christ--why it was necessary for Him to be pierced and why it was required that He be crushed. The message is a reminder that our peace results from His suffering in our place.

    “He was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.” [1] Midst the ubiquitous celebrations of this Christmas Season, as the streets of our cities are decorated with colourful banners ...read more

    In the Bible their are “little” words that we oftentimes read past. The word “let” is one of them. This message looks at many of the verses that contain the word “let” to demonstrate how “letting” God will bring us closer to Him.

It is often in these seemingly insignificant words, and the context in which they are found, that the nuisances of truth that lead to spiritual maturity are found. We must ...read more

    We all need a place of quiet in which to hide and reflect; it will be the community of faith. Here we know one another as we really are, but love one another anyway. That is transformative.

    Just a little less than a month ago, as many of you know, my wife’s father passed away very suddenly. Of course, we all hurried to get together, and then, as families do in times like that, we began to tell stories. We remembered how he used to say this or how he once did that. And one story we ...read more

    We often allow the pain of our past to continue to rule us in our present and predetermine our future. Where you are now is not where you have to stay.

    There exist in this world in which we live a countless number of hurting, injured, abused and dysfunctional people that are living a virtual life of the “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”.
