Appearances can be deceiving. Even when something appears to be working well, it might be hiding some nasty surprises inside. Pastor Jon uses the example of Ananias and Sapphira to illustrate how even Christians are capable of harbouring darkness, even while we are owned by Christ.

What controls you? Are you truly empowered to talk about your Saviour, Jesus Christ? Pastor Angela looks at the prayers of early Christians who asked for boldness in their sharing of the truth of Jesus's life, death, and resurrection and asks if we have the same desire to share the Gospel.

Living as a Christian in even relatively peaceful places like Canada is not without its challenges. Pastor Jon continues exploring the book of Acts and discusses how the example of Peter and John's empowerment by the Holy Spirit can help us discern how to live as Christians today.

Jesus is more than just a nice story; Jesus, along with His earthly life and resurrection for our deliverance, was real. Pastor Jon continues our study of the book of Acts and explores how the actual historical Jesus is the answer to all our everlasting troubles.

Have you ever had an experience where you know something is there but you can't find it? Pastor Jon explores the guaranteed places of encounter with Jesus that we can miss because we're not looking properly, we're distracted, or we're looking for the wrong thing entirely.

Most of us have a mental map of our lives: where we've been, where we are, and where we think we are headed. Pastor Jon asks us to consider ourselves differently. Instead, we need to ask where we are in relation to Jesus and if we need to follow Him more closely. 

Speaker: Jon Thompson  

Have you ever wondered what it was about Christianity that is so different from other faiths? Pastor Jon illuminates a fuller picture of Jesus's absolute divinity, and how God's gift of grace and mercy sets us free in a way that no other faith or philosophy has the ability to.

Speaker: Jon Thompson
