Weariness, Loneliness, Bitterness. So often Christmas gives us “gifts” like these – gifts that we don’t want, but find hard to get rid of. And year after year we hang on to them, never realizing that we can actually exchange them for better gifts: Renewed Energy, Closeness, Forgiveness.

This week Pastor Ian continues our series with "The Gift Exchange - Loneliness for Closeness"

Weariness, Loneliness, Bitterness. So often Christmas gives us “gifts” like these – gifts that we don’t want, but find hard to get rid of. And year after year we hang on to them, never realizing that we can actually exchange them for better gifts: Renewed Energy, Closeness, Forgiveness.

This week Special Guest Speaker Russell Byrd continues our series with "The Gift Exchange - Bitterness for Forgiveness"

Weariness, Loneliness, Bitterness. So often Christmas gives us “gifts” like these – gifts that we don’t want, but find hard to get rid of. And year after year we hang on to them, never realizing that we can actually exchange them for better gifts: Renewed Energy, Closeness, Forgiveness.

This week we start with "The Gift Exchange - Weariness for Renewed Energy".

This week I talk about "The Open Door of Opportunity" - just like Paul the Apostle, God wants to open for each of us "a great door for effective work" (1 Corinthians 16:9) with friends, family, and in our community.

This week I talk about the "Open Door of Adversity". Yes, you heard that right - I'll look at how the tough times in our lives are actually an opportunity to grow and advance if we'll keep our perspective right and look to God for His grace.

The door of relationship with Him is a door God wishes to open in all of our lives - to experience His grace, grow, and advance forward into His purposes for us

No one wants to waste their life. As followers of Jesus, we understand that the best life comes from walking with God, learning His ways, and staying centred in His will. But how can you begin to follow God unless you learn to hear His voice? Pastor Ian shares several steps we can take in order to tune our hearts and ears to the Lord's leading.

No one likes feeling like they're trapped in a tight spot; no one enjoys feeling constrained or limited. We want to be free and experience our maximum potential. However, sometimes our greatest growth comes from a place of weakness and limitation. In this message, Pastor Ian shares how we, like King David, may need to embrace the caves we are in in order to experience the kingdom.

“The Journey of Entering Your Promised Land”

Using the biblical story of the Israelites entering the land of Canaan, Ian talks about how each of us can move forward, step by step, into God’s destiny and plan for our lives.

Whose expectations are you carrying? What burden or responsibility do you wake up wearing? We all live each day with a burden for something. Some burdens are life-giving, and some burdens are life-taking. Jesus promised a life that is full - a life to the max. However, that life is only possible under the burden of His yoke - specifically designed for us. Pastor Ian shares how His yoke is meant to be on us - and it's one that brings rest.
