Our lives are filled with moments and experiences of separation. But God stepped into creation when Jesus was born and He eliminated the impossible distance between humanity and the divine. Now nothing separates us from the love of God in Jesus. This Christmas discover the incredible love God has for you!

Imagine being so joyful that no matter what happened your heart was still marked with joy - a joy that overflows to those around you? Over and over the Bible speaks of joy including the angelic announcement of the birth of Jesus: "good news of great joy for all people"!. How do we enter into the story of God and discover the joy He promises? Listen as James explores this question with some practical advice to build a lifestyle of joy!

Our hearts desire peace and the shalom that has been lost since the time of Adam and Eve. Jesus came to restore shalom and He is the only way that we will discover true peace - peace that overflows to those around us.

Hope is the rope or tether (Tikvah in Hebrew) which runs through all the Biblical prophecies leading to the coming of Messiah our Rock, our Anchor. The momentous cosmic event we celebrate at Christmas is yet to be fully revealed in the coming Kingdom of God, and the redemption and restoration of all things.

The final part on our series on faith, hope and love, this talk is an exploration of what God’s love looks like as revealed to us in his Word and what that means for us here and now.

We look at the challenges to faith in our modern western culture. Then at how focusing on the Risen Jesus can ensure we build our faith on a strong foundation.

In this talk we examine the substance of Christian faith as described in Hebrews 11.

Hope is precious and essential. With hope we can face difficulties with courage and strength. How do we hold on to hope when things get rough as they are currently in our nation? Listen to Caleb, Dave, Natalya and Maralyn discuss hope and real-life strategies for holding on to hope.

As the people of God we are to bring glory to God, draw close to His presence, and to prepare the way for the Lord in our own lives and in our interactions with others. Listen as James speaks about our priestly mission which involves walking in the footsteps of John the Baptist and ultimately those of Jesus our Great High Priest.

God invites us to draw close to Him - in fact, abiding in Him is necessary to glorify Him. But when we make the decision to chase after His presence we will encounter opposition. In this talk James encourages us to see the opposition for what it is and to keep pursuing God no matter what!
