As we continue our series through the Parables of Jesus, Pastor Jesse explores one of Jesus’ most well-known parables: The Prodigal Son. While much of the attention is often placed on the younger son, this message takes a closer look at the older son. Through his story, we discover that the two brothers may have more in common than we first realize—and that, in both cases, the father goes out to meet them.

Pastor Dion continues our Parables of Jesus series by exploring the Parable of the Unmerciful Servant. Beginning with Peter’s question about how often we should forgive, Jesus challenges us to go beyond keeping count and instead live lives marked by continual forgiveness. Because we have received such incredible forgiveness through Christ, we are called, as forgiven people, to be forgiving people.

Pastor Dion opens a new series exploring the Parables of Jesus. Beginning with the parable of the Wise and Foolish Builders, we are encouraged to do more than simply hear the words of Jesus. Through the example of the wise builder, we are challenged to put His words into practice and to build our lives on a firm foundation—the rock of Jesus Christ.

Darren Plett asks a question this morning that is based on Deuteronomy 11:18, ‘Describe God’s presence in your life.’ The rest of the morning is spent unpacking different truths and ideas regarding God’s Presence.

Today marks the beginning of two weeks of Living Fountain Bible Camp running on Longbow Lake, near Kenora. As our camp program kicks off, Pastor Jesse takes the opportunity to look back on the ways that camp helped to form his own faith life. While doing so, Pastor Jesse compares the ways that Church and Camp are quite similar. And finally, he issues a challenge for all of us to spend time in prayer for the camp, campers and staff over the next two weeks.

We come to Samson, the final Judge in our series through the book of Judges. The story of Samson shows us what happens when we live our lives according to our own eyes, rather than fixing our eyes on Jesus.

The Sr. Youth group is back from their Mission Trip to Kansas City. This morning we have the privilege of hearing a report from the students who were on the trip.

Pastor Jesse continues our series walking through the book of Judges. As we get into the story of Jephthah, Pastor Jesse raises the question, ‘What if our view of God has been formed with errors?’

We come to the story of Gideon in the book of Judges. Through this story, Pastor Dion reminds us that although God’s ways don’t always make sense to us, his ways are higher and greater than our own. We are also challenged to look to the cross as a reminder that the Lord is with you, especially when you feel afraid. That is God’s antidote to humanities fear throughout the Bible, ‘I am with you.’

This morning we have 3 families dedicating their newborns in front of friends and family. As they do so, Pastor Jesse uses Judges 2:10 to speak of the importance of intentionally passing on our faith to the next generations.
