For some people, "love" is a four-letter word. It carries a lot of baggage, and often that baggage gets attached to our beliefs about God's love. But as 1 Corinthians 13 tells us, divine love looks very different from love as we know it. Join us for this week's message as we uncover God's agapé love.

When you hear the word "miracle" what comes to mind? Perhaps you think of healings or speaking in tongues or prophecy. (And each of those are examples of Biblical miracles.) But, 1 Corinthians tells us that the greatest miracle of all is much simpler than we often realize. This miracle has the power to reshape the world and it can be performed by anyone. Wondering what it is? Pastor Dan breaks it down in this week's message.

The early church seemed to be full of power, transforming the world wherever they went. The modern church often lacks power, and isn't taken seriously in our world. What are we missing?

In this week's message, Pastor Dan proposes that we aren't missing something. Rather, we are missing someone.

If you've ever found yourself praying for a miracle, only to be met with apparent silence, you are not alone! Pastor Dan shares from john 11 how you can take comfort from the fact that often God's "no" can lead to an even greater miracle than His "yes."

How can any sane and rational person believe in miracles? After all, hasn't science proven stuff like that simply doesn't happen? Surprisingly, the science doesn't seem to point us away from miracles, but towards a God who creates, continues and counteracts our miraculous universe as He wishes. Join us for a message that will expand your mind and your faith!

It's a new year, and you probably have some new goals. Whether your resolutions are big or small, the scriptures offer wisdom on how to let go of the past and lay hold of the future.

Is it possible for Christmas to be less stressful and more meaningful? We think so! Pastor Dan breaks down how changing your perspective can change your experience in this year's Christmas Eve message.

Christmas through Fresh Eyes 3 -- The Magi by ConnectCalgary

The shepherds seem to play a small side role in the Christmas story. But God included them so we could learn from them, and we are so glad He did! Their story reveals the good news that brings great joy for all people.

When you hear the Christmas story, you might be tempted to assume that the miraculous circumstances surrounding the birth of Jesus were wondrous and welcome to everyone involved. Of course, the real story is much complicated. The people who lived out the first Christmas had to learn to trust God in the middle of an unexpected and dangerous situation. Their faith serves as an example to us when we find ourselves in the middle of unexpected and unwelcome situations of our own!
