The Apostle Peter said, “The end is near”. Near to us isn’t necessarily what is near to God. Peter explains that “A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day.” This week we explore how to deal with the many end of the world stories that we see every day in this age.

Church has become "convenient" with the availability of online and post service video of sermons. Biblical community is still very important for the good of us all. This week, Pastor John talks about how the body of Christ is still important for the good of everyone. Even if we need to push beyond our own comfort sometimes.

Every decade or so there are events that cause us to revisit the topic of the end of the world. We all agree to some extent that it wouldn’t be shocking if the world ended.

As we continue to navigate what it means to love justice, Pastor Fraser explains why it is important and gives us some practical tools to help us as we encounter places where we can bring the restorative love of Jesus.

There is a lot of talk about justice these days. And rightly so. World history has no shortage of examples of injustice and these continue today in large part. The Bible is full of examples as well.

This week we wrap up our series of The Organic Life talking about the fruit of the spirit and self control. No matter what you do, there will be a future you. Today, Pastor John talks about how just one bad impulsive decision could cost us everything.

Science says each of us only have so much self control in any given day. How do we master the art of self control on our own? This week we talk about how Jesus is the answer to this difficult subject for all of us.
