We've all seen the destructive power of anger. But did you know that anger has the power to build as well? In fact, many people are surprised to hear that God commands His followers to be angry in Ephesians 4 - but to be angry about the right things in the right ways. Pastor Dan breaks down the difference between healthy and unhealthy anger in this week's message.

The Bible almost never speaks about happiness, but it talks a lot about JOY. Knowing the difference between the two can make a huge impact in your life. 🙌 Pastor Dan explains how in this week's message.

in October 2018, Canada is legalizing recreational marijuana. Many Christians are wondering if there is ever a time in which they should partake. In this week's message, we examine what the Bible has to say on the subject of pot, and discover a series of questions that can help in any situation in which you are wondering, "As a Christian, can I _______?"

Ever feel like you're living a "crowded loneliness?" Like you are surrounded by lots of people, but not really known by any of them? Perhaps you don't need more relationships, but better ones. In this week's message, pastor Dan shares how to rediscover the Beauty of Community in a world of shallow friendships.

Many people find peace in nature. We may even experience God's presence in places of quiet and solitude. But that peace seems to last only as long as our vacation does: The moment we have to return to the regular hustle of life, we once again feel stressed out and overwhelmed.

Which begs the question: Is there a peace that doesn't require a drive to the mountains? Is there an assurance that will last around the clock, instead of only on the weekends?

The Bible seems to indicate there is. Join us for a conversation about finding a peace that lasts.

(Please note: The audio on this file cleans up significantly about 30 seconds in.)

Ever compared your spiritual life to somebody else's and felt like you didn't measure up? How about your marriage, finances or health? It can be very easy to get disheartened when our situation isn't picture perfect. Lucky for us, Jesus went to great lengths to tell us that God doesn't expect perfection, only growth. Join us for a message designed to help you experience God's best in every part of your life!

You and I are caught in a cycle. This cycle of living is like a whirlpool - it sucks us in and the longer we spend in it, the harder it is to ever get out. This cycle is highlighted in the story of the prodigal son, but thankfully, so is the solution.

If you have ever felt like you are nearing rock bottom, this week's message will be a powerful reminder of just how deeply you are loved.
