This week Marc teaches from Hebrews 12 about our Good Father who disciplines us. Marc clarifies that this discipline is not about spiritual practices, punishment, or consequences. Rather, the discipline is a spiritual condition that comes to form us  into the image of Christ.

Through discipline, we will be confronted by God in prayer, in reading Scripture, and through wise and godly friends. Marc encouraged us to find at least one person who will help us be faithful to Christ.

Marc discusses with us what it means to find our value in how God sets our value. Marc notes that the creators and the buyers of things are the ones who set the value of something. We are then led to see God as both our Creator and the one who Buys us back in redemption with his life.

As God's children, God has the only right to label and set our value is God. We are encouraged to embrace this new identity that we have as God's children. We can give up our pursuits that we think give us value and pursue God's kingdom and value for us.

This past week, we had Matt Clever join us and give us a message on Psalm 97. Matt exhorted us to acknowledge, as David does, that the Lord reigns.

This week, we take communion, acknowledging how our iniquity was poured out on Jesus and by the stripes of our iniquity, we are made whole. Spencer then walks us through Psalm 150 discussing how, when, and where we Praise the Lord.

Jesus is always worthy of our praise. Jesus has paved the way for us to follow him through the cross and into eternal life. We celebrate that every day is a Glorious Day because we have been raised to newness of life in Christ Jesus. We are his temple, and we are his instruments being played to the glory of God every day.

This week, Spencer walks us through Psalm 15 to examine what it means to be identified with Jesus and find ourselves ascending the mountain of God to worship. Spencer discusses our need to examine ourselves as we come to worship and come into God's presence,  to reflect on our positioning and posture towards God.

This week elder Ben Martin leads us in a reflection upon Psalm 51 and David's repentance in the wake of his sin against Uriah, Bathsheba, and ultimately, the Lord himself. We examine the need to humbly acknowledge the depths of our sin in order to experience the depths of God's forgiveness and grace over our lives.

Ben Charron also leads us in  reading Psalm 23 to understand the depths of God's grace and how he cares for us when we are humbly submitted to him.

Spencer discusses Psalm 88 and Paul leads us in communion. Spencer talks about the reality Psalm 88 seemingly has no resolution, but ends with darkness being the writer's only friend. Spencer talks about how the Psalm empathizes with the human experience where God feels absent while sorrow and darkness seem to fill our lives.

But Spencer reminds us that while the writer expresses these emotions and feelings, he is still praying and still seeking God's life and blessing. God is still present, even though it seems like he is not, and faith continues to pursue God, even when despair seem to have overcome us.

This week, Spencer speaks to us about Psalm 8, meditation on God's majesty in creation. Spencer then turns the topic to discuss how we are called to be God's majestic presence in the earth by taking up our crosses and following Jesus, becoming the fulfillment of God's image in the earth for the world.

This week, our Elder and Chair of the Board, Tyler Dam, delivers us a message on Proverbs 4:23 - "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows form it."

Tyler walks us through personal testimony of how he intentionally believes God's word over him. Then, he leads us through intentional ways to orient our life toward hearing God's voice and resting in his promise to always seek to bless us and care for us. Further, Tyler explains that when we guard our hearts and hold the truth of God's favour over us, we then begin to seek out opportunities to share God's truth and favour for others.

This week, Spencer walks us through Psalm 46, where we end up finding refuge in our God who cares for us and requires nothing except our loyalty to his promise.
