As disciples of Jesus, we are called to both sit and serve. Understanding that prioritizing the right one, in the right time, allows us to experience God's peace. We are challenged in this season of busyness to make time to sit so we can serve well too.

We look at the story of Jesus quieting the storm in Matthew 8. We see how God is with us in our boat and in the storms of our lives. In the storms of life, Jesus:

Rev. Phil Gunther, Director of our Saskatchewan Mennonite Brethern denomination, joins us to look at the Christmas story of...Zacchaeus? While it might not be a traditional Christmas story, Phil shows us how we see that encounters with Jesus have a transformation impact on us — and that this is why Jesus came to us at Christmas. We continue to see the promise, hope, and miracle of Christmas come alive, even in these not-very-Christmassy passages.

We kick off our not-very-Christmassy-but-actually-more-Christmassy-than-you-might-think Christmas series. This week, we look at Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. Jesus' scandalous interaction with her speaks to the scandalous – and hope-filled – truth of Christmas for us today.

In today’s passage, we see the Apostles encountering persistent obstacles to their mission including a severe beating. Yet, they persevere in their mission with unwavering joy. Mick points us to examine the Apostles’ example, helping us to find joy and hope as we experience trials ourselves.

Jordan unpacks the end of chapter 4, and the start of chapter 5. In seeing the example of the church moving and acting as one, we see instruction and encouragement towards unity in our own churches as we continue Jesus' mission.

Pastor Luke walks us through Acts 3

In his final sermon as our lead pastor before moving to plant a new church in British Columbia, Pastor Luke opens up Philippians 1:3-11 to encourage, challenge, and bless us, one last time.

In our message today we see how Holy Spirit empowers and emboldens Peter and John to boldly witness in trying times.

We are encouraged to be empowered witnesses to our spheres of influence as Holy Spirit works in us.

In our text, Luke delves into the early church’s birth, describing its defining characteristics. A healthy church, as depicted in our text, is characterized by a Biblical diet, a committed community, joyful worship, and a vibrant gospel culture.
