When we take a look at Isaiah 9 with a bit of emotional distance from the Christmas season, we discover that it has something to say to us about the fundamental role that hope plays within the story of our faith. Together we will explore a Theology of Hope and how we often mis-apply it to our lives and hopefully discover what it should look like when put into practice.

The doctrine is simple: God is holy! But what does that mean and what are the practical implications for us? Well, the prophet Isaiah does a brilliant job of spelling this out for us in Isaiah 6:1-9! The conclusion: It’s not unlike befriending a radioactive great white shark in space!

Can you believe it? This weekend we’re heading home! But not before making six more short stops and meeting six more everyday Christ followers, living out their faith…half way around the world from us!

During the first two weekends we travelled 33,095 km in search of the Acts of the Holy Spirit today! If week one was all about the spread of the Gospel and people coming to Christ and week two was all about paradigm shifts and confronting restrictive stereotypes, then this weekend is about the cost of following Christ and persecution!

Pack your bags as we take off on our journey "Around the World in 30 Days"! Seeking and finding what the Holy Spirit is doing all around the world as we continue our daily chapter-a-day challenge through the book of Acts!

It's been said, that to build something, you need to do it twice! Once in your mind and then physically! This ‘building something in your mind’ we commonly call ‘vision’ or ‘chazown’ in the ancient Hebrew! This message makes the case for getting rid of excuses and beginning to build God’s future for us with vision!

So, what if you actually did have a really good excuse? Like Parkinson's! In this message, the winner of Canada’s Amazing Race, season #1, shares his story, struggles and insights in light of ‘No Excuses’, his battle with Parkinson’s and Paul’s thorn in the flesh from 2 Corinthians 12!

One day, in Luke 14, Jesus told a powerful story about excuses! Today, we’re going to school on the story and we’ll draw out the key principles Jesus was teaching as well as some super-powerful truths about excuses!

What is an excuse? Why do we reach for them so quickly? And what does God’s Word have to say about excuses? This weekend we’re launching a new series for a new year rooted in the Book of Proverbs called “No Excuses!” Get ready! We’re about to challenge the ruts and outrun the excuses!
