Part of a Plan// Dan Allen

We continue our series, “The Cast of Christmas”, by focusing on the perspective of the Shepherds.

God chooses to reveal his Son to all – Jesus Christ the Hope of the World.

A Sigh and a Song: An Exposition of Psalm 77 // Dr. David Barker
Asaph, the psalmist, leads us through a pilgrimage of an anguished sigh to a song of remembrance and confidence. He starts with an anguished sigh thinking that God has forgotten him, but he comes back to a recording of remembering the mighty things that God had done for him and his people in the past, especially in the great exodus from Egypt.
Faith or Fear?// Harold Paisley
In an age of anxiety Psalm 27 encourages us to focus our faith on the Lord who is our light and our strength. As we do that we learn to say, “of whom shall I be afraid?”.
Lord I Need You// Gary Goodkey
Continuing in our series in the Psalms, Psalm 130 reminds us of our need for the Lord. We can cry out to the Lord because He forgives. We can wait for the Lord because He redeems. And now as believers we can see Jesus Christ as the ultimate fulfillment of this Psalm.
Every Day I will Praise You// Dan Allen
An understanding of who God is and what he has done for us leads to praise. Daily praise glorifies God and helps us overcome despair, anxiety and apathy.
We don’t bring God to the Nations! // Phil Bauman
God’s heart for the nations is seen throughout Scripture from Genesis to Revelation and he desires that everyone will come to know him. In the 21st century many Christians are asking ‘What is role of the church in Global Missions’? To let the world come to us? To go? Or both?
A not-so-holy Priesthood// Stefan Konig
How the failures of Old Testament priests parallels Christian leadership today, and what the church can learn from it (based on 1 Samuel 1-7).
Difficult Questions and Strong Faith// Nelson Annan
Christians should always bring their doubts and questions to God without fear. Honest prayer with a humble attitude and a large view of God results in joyful, anti-fragile faith.
Rebekah, Disappointment with God// Gord Martin
How did Rebekah go from being a sparkling young woman to saying she "was disgusted with living?" How can we grow through disappointment with God?
Finding Rest Amidst Life’s Tensions// Scott Stein
As Christians we are called to walk by faith and not by sight. This means spending much of life in that place of tension existing between the way life is going and the way we wish life would be. In Exodus 33,34, we find God confronting Moses in order to show him that these moments of tension are a necessary component of walking by faith. But, they also serve an indispensable purpose in God’s plan to make us his royal priesthood, worshipping servants, and satisfied children.
Jesus the Storyteller: Welcome to the Banquet// Dan Allen
Jesus says there's a Great Banquet. You need to come. You're invited. You need to invite others to come.
Jesus the Storyteller: An Unexpected Party Crasher// Gordon Wright
When Simon the Pharisee invites Jesus over for dinner (Luke 7:36-50) he never expected a 'sinful' woman to crash the party! Jesus' parable of 2 debtors, one small and one large, turns everything on its head, showing how we will love little unless we understand the true depth of our sin. When we do, it will give us Jesus' eyes for the true humanity and value in all people and inspire a gratitude as we sit at the feet of our Saviour.
Jesus the Storyteller: Planning Ahead// Dan Allen
In this parable Jesus teaches us to live with an eternity oriented mindset, where we use money and material possessions for his Kingdom saving purposes.
Jesus the Storyteller: Lost Things// Kris Konig
Jesus teaches three parables in a row about lost things. The reason He does this is to reveal a part of the heart of God: God's heart is to seek and save the lost. Is that your heart too?
