Randy Klassen begins August with this discussion that the God who delivers His people is also the God who sustains them. In Exodus 16, Yahweh not only feeds Israel in the wilderness, but begins reshaping their hearts and imagination. Every day, they are invited to trust that God will provide enough for today, learning dependence instead of control, generosity instead of hoarding, and community instead of scarcity. And in many ways, this becomes an early glimpse of the kind of King God is and the kind of Kingdom He is forming, a people shaped by trust, daily bread, shared provision, and dependence on the presence of God. Jesus the Bread of Life.

Matt Stovall takes us through one of the most famous stories in Exodus at the shores of the Red Sea. Here, God reveals Himself as the One who makes a way where we can't see one. Trapped between Pharaoh’s army and the waters, Israel discovers that deliverance will not come through their own strength, but through the intervention and provision of God.

And in many ways, the Red Sea becomes a picture pointing forward to Jesus. Humanity, trapped in sin and death, could not rescue itself, so Jesus became the way through. What Israel experienced as dry ground through the waters points toward the salvation and freedom God would one day offer fully through Christ. God is still the Provider, is still making a way, still meeting people in impossible situations, and still inviting us to trust Him in the middle of our own “Red Sea” moments.

Pastor Aeden Chan takes a break from the worship team to bring us our fourth sermon in the Exodus series. Discussing the plagues on Egypt and how Yahweh exists in ways that are hard, humbling, and deeply beautiful. At the same time, the plagues become a powerful declaration of God’s authority over creation and his unwavering commitment to lead and guide His people.

Santosh Ninan brings the third instalment in our teaching series on Exodus: The Story Behind Jesus. The burning bush is a powerful moment of God stepping personally into Moses’ story while also stepping into the larger story of an enslaved people. God meets Moses in his shame, fear, and hiding… but at the same time commissions him to become part of God’s work of deliverance and redemption for others.

Exodus is the story of God’s people then and still the story of God’s people now. Pharaoh and Egypt become this picture of the powers that work against God’s desire for human flourishing and freedom, much like the ways the powers and principalities and the patterns of our world still pull people toward oppression, fear, and slavery today.

And yet, over and over again, God chooses to partner with unlikely people in the middle of ordinary life to bring about his redemptive purposes in the world.

Pastor Paul Morgun kicks off the summer series explaining how the Exodus drama is the framing event for the ministry of Jesus. Why care about an ancient Hebrew liberation story? Because if you want to understand Jesus, you’ve gotta understand Exodus.

Several members of Lakeview staff gather to guide us through the plans for the next year, including our postures, movements, finances, and how we want to encourage and inspire growth in our communities via mentorship and bringing up young leadership. Our next season is one we are very excited to execute and develop with the whole church community.

Today Pastor Darlene Klassen and Pastor Curtis Anderson lead us as we celebrate more of our community. Carrying on from Celebration Sunday, we witness baptism and testimonies of some of our Local Engagement partners and their volunteers to see how we are following our "Outward" posture to go and join God in His story and plans in our community.

As we reflect on the previous year and what God has been doing in our church, we hear stories of those from our Daycare, Worship Team, Young Adults Volunteers, Home Church members, and even the Saskatoon Public School Division on how Lakeview church has been helping our community. We also hear the story of one getting baptized on this day, showing how God is also working one us personally as well as collectively.

In this final sermon of Grace & Peace, Pastor Paul Morgun shares about how in the middle of conflict, Apostle Paul invites the Church in Philippi to humility, reconciliation, and unity. Grace received becomes grace extended. And as we receive God’s grace, we are formed into people of peace, learning to trust, to reconcile, and to depend on Christ in every circumstance.
