Listen as Violet Heyes shares about this amazing ministry, helping Nanaimo's homeless population find themselves and find hope in their future. 

To err is to be human right? Is that the only option for humanity? What do we do with our failings? In this final sermon on Ezra we see what to do in the face of failings and walk in greater freedom. 

Rebuilding after things have fallen apart can feel quite defeating. There are unforeseen obstacles and unclear starting points. As Ezra aims to rebuild people back to trusting God and being faithful to Him, there are challenges that require Ezra to trust. 

Whenever we return to a certain vacation spot, or to visit family and friends; there is joy! But there can also be disappointment, and even conflict. As we return to pre-pandemic Church life we will likely experience all three as we aim to be faithful to God. 

Have you ever returned to a familiar place, rhythm of life, or old friend? While these returns to the familiar can be extremely peaceful, our peace often disintegrates when we find not everything is the same. By reading Ezra 1-3, we learn very quickly that things changing can help us grow.

How do we change our character? Are we always destined to repeat the mistakes of the past or our heritage? This Sunday we close our study on character with the life of Joseph. 

What comes to mind when you think of God? What we think of God affects how we view ourselves and our purpose in life. Is God out to punish you? Care for you? Love you? To grasp God's character we look closely at the life of Jesus.

The gap between our values and how we live reveal our true character. King David was known as a man of character, until he chose to act in selfishness. We look to Christ to see how we can aim to act in selflessness.

The gap between our values and how we live reveal our true character. Take comfort that in the Bible people who followed God would at times have inconsistent character. Christ modeled for us in different situations how to live lives of consistent character.

How do we live out our faith in practical ways? Executive Director Peter Sinclair comes to share what the organization Loaves and Fishes is all about.
