Mark 10:1-12

Every relationship is going to have problems. As long as people have different opinions, different approaches to finances, and different ways of handling conflict, tough times are guaranteed to happen… but what will you do with those tough times?  Will you look for a way out or a way through?

We’ll see Jesus tested with a question about divorce. What does He have to say about it?

Mark 9:42-50

I remember adding a little "0" beside a "1" on a coupon to extend its expiry date. "I’m not lying – I’m simply adapting."

We tend to downplay sin, but Jesus does not. He sees sin for what it truly is – a serious threat to our spiritual well-being and our relationship with God.

Arriving at the end of Mark 9, we come across some of Jesus' most striking and visceral teachings, which serve as a profound wake-up call. Jesus addresses the severe dangers of sin, particularly self-righteousness, pride, and misleading others, and invites us to adopt His way of submission, self-denial, and servanthood.

Are we willing to go the Jesus way? Let's ask Him for the strength to do so!

Mark 9:30-41

Time for an uncomfortable question: How do you want others to see you?

What are some words that come to mind? …  knowledgeable, competent, accomplished, wise, talented, handy, clever, honourable, inspiring.

Here’s another question: How much time/effort/energy do you put into being known for that?

We want others to see us in the best possible light; we want them to think we’re great. Jesus notices that desire in His followers, and He wants to speak to that. 

Speaker: Lead Pastor Shawn Klassen

Mark 9:14-29

I suspect our collective list would be long. 



As we continue our journey through the Gospel of Mark this week we follow Jesus down from the mountain-high of transfiguration and into the frustrating valley of argumentation and powerlessness in the face of impossible situations. Does that sound at all like your week, month, or year?



Are you ready to ask Jesus to help your unbelief?

Mark 9:2-13

Jesus’ disciples had a lot of those moments, and as we move through the Gospel of Mark, we’ll discover that the one they’re about to encounter is the greatest one yet… and it came at just the right time.

Speaker: Lead Pastor Shawn Klassen

Mark 8:31-9:1

Then there are times when you need to be absolutely clear about what you’re communicating. Some things are too important to be padded for politeness’ sake. This Sunday, we’ll look at something Jesus wanted to be crystal clear about, something too vital to use anything other than straight talk.

Speaker: Worship Pastor Joel Lise

Genesis 12:1-3; Luke 19:1-10

The way we live ought to reflect the priorities of the God we serve. When Jesus walked the earth, what was on his heart? What do his actions show us? And do ours align with His? 

As we wrap up our May message series, we’ll look at one more of our Best Practices to see if we can live more like Jesus did.

Speaker: Lead Pastor Shawn Klassen

Psalm 1

Every relationship requires attentive listening. It's a skill that requires practice and discipline to master, and those who do are often praised for it. We listen to the noises around us all the time, our culture and our own sinful natures have their own ideas of how we should live our lives. How do we hear God through all the noise? Is he even speaking? What does he say about me?

2 Corinthians 8-9, Matthew 6:19-24

Is the church just after my money?

There can be a lot of confusion when it comes to the relationship between the church and finances. But what does scripture have to say about it? Jesus taught a lot about money and how we need to view it. And when we’re talking about generosity, that subject goes beyond simply what’s in our wallets. Join us this Sunday to explore more!

Speaker: Lead Pastor Shawn Klassen

Matthew 6:9-13

Prayer. Is it wishful thinking? Is there some magical formula? Is it silent meditation? Is it something we do when there’s something we want? And what happens when we don’t get it? How do we know if prayer is working?
