Can we choose gratitude—even when life is hard?

Gratitude is easy when everything is going our way. But what happens when we’re facing anxiety, uncertainty, pain, loss, or a crisis? In this message, Chad explores the biblical practice of praying with gratitude and shows us how Daniel, David, and Paul continued to give thanks even in the middle of difficult circumstances. Gratitude isn’t pretending everything is fine—it’s choosing to remember that God is still good, even when life isn’t. Discover how making thanksgiving a daily habit can reshape the way we face both ordinary days and life’s hardest moments.

All Kinds of Prayer part 3

When someone we love is facing a battle we can’t fix, there is still something we can do: pray. In this message, Chad unpacks the power of intercessory prayer—standing in the gap, carrying someone else’s burden, and refusing to give up when the answer doesn’t come right away. Through the story of Moses, the early church, and the example of Jesus himself, we’re reminded that prayer is not passive—it’s how we join God in the work He is doing. Intercession is love on its knees. Keep praying. Stand in the gap. Trust God with the outcome.

In this incredible story of one of Jesus' healing miracles, each character presents us with a lesson. Bartimaeus teaches us to see Jesus by faith. The crowd learns to see people with compassion. Jesus shows us how to see interruptions as opportunities for love.

Luke part 32: Lord, I Want to See

Luke 18:35-43

Jesus beautifully and perfectly lived out grace and truth to the people he encountered. Christians who reflect his nature also do well to show grace to a broken world, and then speak truth to the brokenness. A sincere message from guest speaker, Rev. Stuart Marples, that will speak to your soul.

Jesus receives breaking news that a group of Galileans was murdered in the Temple by political operatives of Pilate. How Jesus responds is surprising - drawing us in to a reminder of the necessity of repentance, not presuming on God's grace, and being prepared for death. But what of us who fail sometimes to produce 'fruit in keeping with repentance'... does God cut us down and cast us away? This message explores the parable of the barren fig tree and the patient gardener who gives us more time to grow - until time runs out!

The Gospel According to Luke part 30

What does it really mean to love your neighbour? In the parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus challenges our ideas about who deserves our love — and reveals something even deeper about the grace of God.

The religious expert asks Jesus, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus’ answer exposes our inability to save ourselves through good works and points us to the love of God that moves toward us when we are helpless.
