Lakeside Church

Some things become so common, they lose all power and significance, and we stop paying attention. But Jesus gave us a prayer, one we may have memories of reciting in school or church, or hearing others repeat the words. It often sounds rote, monotone, and mundane, but hiding in those words are political and revolutionary undertones. It’s a victory cry from the marginalized, a challenge to the privileged, an ultimatum to the halls of power, a refusal to dabble in life change, and an invitation to be all in. In this message, Pastor Marc Gagnon walks us through a few short verses in Luke 11 that can change the trajectory of our faith and may ultimately reveal what we believe about God.

Ever feel stuck? There are so many options … so many good options …. which do you choose? How do you decide what to do when there is so much need, so few hours, and not enough money? If you ever feel paralyzed in decision-making as a Jesus follower, this story will give you a glimpse into Jesus’ heart towards people who are struggling under the demands of life (and on the way, we’ll bump into a radical challenge to the existing social structures that most people read right past … but the original audience never would have)

What do snowblowers have to teach us about following Jesus? In this message from Lead Pastor, Marc Gagnon, one of the most famous stories of Jesus’ life shows us a temptation that still plagues humans today - the desire to draw lines around who we should extend love to. In a tense conversation, Jesus pushes back on the religious elite to challenge the way they have used the bible to limit who they should love, care for and show compassion to.

What could the vision of an ancient rabbi have to do with us? What if I told you: EVERYTHING?! In this message from Pastor Robyn Elliott, we discover in Luke 10:1-20 a powerful and slightly weird (by contemporary standards) vision that Jesus had that is actually our calling - our destiny - and invites us into a radical way of seeing the world.

When you think of following Jesus, what do you picture? Reading the bible? Theology classes? Falling asleep during the preacher’s sermon? For Jesus’ disciples, it was hands-on, on-the-road training, and Luke records every juicy detail (not just the highlight reel … but the screw-ups too)! In this message, from Lead Pastor Marc Gagnon, we discover some baggage the disciples brought with them, and invite Jesus to challenge our own … leaving us more like Jesus.

To do what Jesus did, we have to live like Jesus lived. That’s tough for us in 21st century North America where we idolize power, sensationalism, and greatness. Be honest, given the chance, we’d all like to be great. Today in our passage, Jesus exposes what was at the heart of the disciples’ powerlessness in mission and the unexpected anecdote (it might surprise you). Join us as Pastor Robyn Elliott unpacks Luke 9:37-50.

Since we covered the demonic realm in the messages below, it is not a focus in this message but you may be interested in learning more.

Have you ever had an awkward conversation with someone who used a verse from the Bible out of context? Throughout history people have used scripture to rebuke, manipulate, scold, judge, and defend their position, thoughts, and behaviour, but is that really what God intended? In today’s message from Pastor Marc Gagnon, we learn the difference between something that’s descriptive and something that’s prescriptive as he walks us through a section of Luke 9 to discover that God shows us where to look for our clarity in the midst of confusion. Today’s passage is one that invites a small word change with a big difference.

As a culture, we talk a lot about love. Even as Christians, we talk about God being love, and that the greatest command is to love. We seem to be able to agree what is most important … and yet, in this message from Pastor Marc Gagnon, we discover that we may need to lay down our preconceived ideas of what love looks like.
