The Light Has Come: Knowing God

There are a lot of fairy tales that we watch and read during Christmas; it can be tempting to lump the virgin birth of Jesus in with them. But is that what we should do?
In part three of our four-part message series, “The Light Has Come,” Pastor Stephen walks with us in discovering how what we believe about Jesus impacts how we experience God.

The Light Has Come: The Trade

In this message from our Christmas series, "The Light Has Come," Pastor Stephen looks at the first chapter of John and how Jesus came to trade his identity for ours.

The Light Has Come: All Part of the Plan

If you ever feel like an afterthought or like there's no hope in this world, know that before God started creating all we see around us, he knew the price he would gladly pay to bring light into the darkness. You matter to God: you always have.

Silence: Hearing Requires Listening

What do we do with those inevitable seasons of silence from God? Those times when it feels like our prayers are going unanswered, that God is absent, and that our prayers are stopping at the ceiling? In this final message of a three-part series called "Silence," Pastor Stephen gives some suggestions on how to get through these times and come out the other side with a stronger faith in Jesus.

Silence: Blocked By Sin

Chase the Lion: Leaning Long

When the image of a man-eating beast travels through the optic nerve and into the visual cortex, the brain sends the body an urgent message: run! That’s what normal people do, but not lion chasers. Rather than seeing a five-hundred-pound problem, they see an opportunity for God to show up and show His power. Has God given you a HUGE dream for you or your church? Has He given you a HUGE dream for your community? This is what Chase the Lion is all about.
Centring on 2 Samuel 23, Chase the Lion tells the true story of an ancient warrior named Benaiah who chased a lion into a pit on a snowy day—and then killed it. This series also recounts the miraculous stories of David’s other mighty men and their exploits for the Kingdom of Israel. This 5-week series springboarded off the Mark Batterson book, Chase the Lion, will help you unleash the faith and courage you need to identify, chase, and catch the five-hundred-pound dreams God has given you to reach the world.
