At every corner, Christians are facing increasing pressure to conform to this world. In the workplace, at school, through social media and even, in some cases, at the dinner table. How do we stand firm in our convictions? How do we set ourselves apart as holy (not perfect!) and live lives that honour our Lord? Pastor Paul unpacks the apostle Peter's call to be holy in his letter to the exiles in 1 Peter 1:13-16.

If you are feeling like despair is creeping in, please remember: you are held, loved and saved. This life is not all there is. Jesus offers us a hope that doesn't even depend on us, thankfully. Its a hope that will never go away. It will always, always be true, no matter how loud the voice in your head tries to tell you that its a lie. Jesus is holding you, He is for you and He loves you. Have hope.

What does it mean to be elect? What does it mean if you aren't elected and why doesn't God elect everyone? So many questions. This week, Pastor Paul focuses on the word 'elect' and why it reveals who God is and what it means for us as His children.

What does it mean to live in a Post-Christian world? (And what does "post-christianity" mean, anyways?) How should Christians view suffering? And is this world our true home? Pastor Paul opens up our new series "The Elect in Exile" with these and other important questions.

Born again? What does that even mean? Nicodemus asked the same question. Kevin deJonge unpacks 3:1-8 this week as we learn about what Jesus means and what it looks like in our lives as Christ followers to be truly born again in Him.

In this letter, Jesus offers comfort and encouragement to persecuted Christians in the pagan city of Pergamum. Join us as Mark Hordyk offers his insight on what we can learn from this section of the book of Revelation.
