We appreciate how God reveals Himself in many wonderful and unique ways. He does this through creation, through His people, through the poor, and through the arts both secular and sacred. In this series "God Thru my iPod" we will be enjoying some of the Pastors' favourite tunes, from current to classic, and what God might be saying to us through lyrics that reflect ancient Biblical truths disguised in these contemporary trappings. In Part One of this series we will look at one of the all-time feel-good hits from the year 1977, "Mr. Blue Sky" by the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO). What might God be saying to us through His Word and 70's classic rock?

Part of SunWest's vision is to Equip and Release people to fulfill God's mission. It is a joy to see this happen and to see some of SunWest's up and coming leaders grow in their gifting. The message this week will be given by Nate Wilson, a SunWest Intern who has participated in SunWest Ministry School this past year. Come and embrace our vision to Equip and Release others! We will also be celebrating baptisms and have some Father's Day features.

Part of SunWest's vision is to Equip and Release people to fulfill God's mission...It is a joy to see this happen and the next two Sundays will allow intentional opportunity for some of SunWest's up and coming leaders to grow in their gifting. The messages for the next two weeks will be given by SunWest Interns who have participated in SunWest Ministry School this past year. Come be challenged and encouraged by these young leaders and embrace our vision to Equip and Release others!

That sound. You know that sound... when you get that e-mail, that text, that message. You're talking to someone, sitting at the table, at church, with family, sleeping, and when you hear it you are taken out

of that moment into a different one. For all of the promise of efficiency that technology has brought, it seems to simply make us more busy and less present. Although technology is changing there is nothing new about technological advancement. Thousands of years ago God invited people in the midst of change to observe something called Sabbath.

It may be old, but it's never been more relevant. Rediscover what your soul needs, and realize that there's NO app for that.

How many followers do you have on Twitter or Instagram? How many friends on Facebook? Is it possible that as our network gets broader our relationships get shallower? As we dictate the information we receive and we give; as we pick and choose who to follow and who we allow to follow us; as we create a network of relationships through virtual means; maybe we have unknowingly missed the life changing gift of messy, selfless, Jesus centred community. What would a social network look like that was face to face, messy, Jesus centred, and that cared more about the interest of others than self? Join us this week as we consider our social network.

Browser. History. What comes to mind when you think of those two words? Our virtual trail is revealing. Where our treasure is (read time & money) is where we will find our heart's desires. What does your treasure tell you? What encourages you about that and what discourages you? Before you clear your browser history let's take an honest look in the mirror and consider what it tells us about ourselves and how it shapes who we are becoming.

Have you ever been misunderstood in a text conversation? Have you ever observed a Facebook argument go south really fast? How would Jesus handle conflict in a digital age? If he had a soap box would he leverage all the tools at our disposal to make his opinions known? Next time we are about to comment on someone's post, or we are about to post something ourselves, we should consider WWJT (what would Jesus type?).

Please join us face to face this Sunday as we look at the advantages and disadvantages that technology brings regarding how we handle conflict and soap boxes.

2,000 years ago the internet wasn't invented. This phenomenon shapes and forms the way we do life, relationships, conflict, community, communication, and more.

Jesus invites each of us to follow him (and he wasn't referring to Twitter). If Jesus had a Facebook account how would he manage it? What would he post or pin? How would he manage conflict?... Friend groups? What would his browser history reveal?

Even in light of the lack of phones, computers, and social networks 2000 years ago, we believe that Jesus has much to teach us in our technology saturated world. Join us as we explore what it means to follow Jesus online.

Over the last two weeks we've been encouraged to grow the Kingdom, God's way, to bring His Kingdom here to earth. What should that look like? As we share God with others and as we help others look to Him, how do we best go about that? Should we yell at people, hit them over the head with a Bible, tell them off for being "sinners", set up an outdoor circus tent and have meetings, or sing a lot of country music so folks will come and hear about Jesus? These are all good questions. But what does the Bible say about the look of God's message and His Kingdom taking root in others? Come this Sunday and learn about "The Context for Kingdom Expansion".

Multiplication is a buzz word. The big question is : Why should a disciple or a congregation multiply? Today we will discuss "Why Multiply?".
