Matthew 5:17-20

This week, Pastor Dave brings us God's Word on what it means when Jesus said that we need to be more righteous than the Pharisees.

Jesus came to fulfill the law and prophets, not to get rid of them, which is what we are called to do with the Spirit of God living in us and guiding our lives.

Luke 11:14-23

In this week's sermon, Pastor Jonathan invites us to wrestle with the relatively difficult passage about Jesus casting out demons.

The good news from this and the whole grand narrative of the bible is that Jesus is Lord and empowers us in his Spirit to overcome and live out God's Kingdom on earth.

In this episode, Pastor Dave sits down for a conversation about what our church's discipleship program: Surge is.

Pastor Dave is joined by Madi, Peter, Marcus, and Elsje who just finished Surge this past year.

Luke 10:1-21

This week Pastor Sid brings us the Word from Luke's gospel on what it means to be sent out for mission.

The point of mission is not about what we need or what we can do, but on who we need to rely on as we are sent. Even through hardship and suffering, God is with us and his will of salvation and redemption will be done through his people no matter what.

Luke 9:57-62

This week, Pastor Dave witnesses to the difficult calling that we as Christians, as disciples of Christ are called with. The cost of discipleship is Christ-centred above anything else, which stands against our western idol of self-sufficiency and self-comfort.

The gospel of Luke calls us to devote ourselves to Christ alone. Are we willing to be real disciples?

John 6

In this week's sermon, Dr. Michael Goheen brings us the good news of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, clothed in the Word and the Sacrament of communion.

Dr. Goheen guides us into the significance and meaning behind the sacrament of sharing a meal with Christ.

Matthew 18:1-5

In this week's sermon, Pastor Dave challenges us from the passage of Matthew 18. We are called to be like children, having full devotion to Christ our Lord. This goes hand in hand as we are to protect and raise the children around us to be devoted and share in the Kingdom life here and now.

Mark 11:12-26

This week, Pastor Sid starts our new sermon series on the hard sayings of Jesus.

From the passage in the gospel of Mark, Pastor Sid guides us through what Jesus meant when he mentioned mountain moving faith. We are called to trust and focus on Jesus, not on the mountains. We trust that He will guide us through any mountain we may face.

In this episode, Pastor Dave sits down with Pastors Chris W. and Prince T.

They continue the discussion about Spiritual Giftings, specifically living it out as a church community.

Pastor Chris is the lead Pastor at Sonrise Church and Pastor Prince is the new lead Pastor at Pacific Community Church.

Galatians 5:16-26

This week, Pastor Jonathan concludes our series on the Holy Spirit.

He reminds us from the letter to the Galatians that by the empowering of God's Holy Spirit himself, we are freed to live out our identity as God's people. We are called to reflect the loving goodness of God for our world in our thoughts, actions, and habits.

We are encouraged to pray and lean into the Holy Spirit guiding and inspiring us.
