After looking at God's purposes for humanity in creation and humanity's fall into sin we turn to look at God's purposes in redemption.

Join Jeremy and Alex as they discuss the nature and purpose of humanity and how God has redeemed humanity through the sacrifice of Christ. 

Jeremy, Ben, and Tristan talk about issues surrounding art and how Christians and unbelievers differ in their views of its function and value.

What does it mean to be human? What does it mean that we are born with a sin nature? How does understanding our nature help us live a God pleasing life? 

This fundamental questions find their answers rooted in Scripture. 

Join Jeremy, Alex and Ben as they discuss the nature and purpose of humanity. 

This will be a multi-part series. 

What does it mean to be human? Do we have inherent worth? Is there meaning to our lives? 

This fundamental questions find their answers rooted in Scripture. 

Join Jeremy and Alex as they discuss the nature and purpose of humanity. 

This will be a multi-part series. 

Jesus prayed, and died, that his followers might be 'one' (cf. John 17). 

Unity amongst Christians is both a fact as a result of Christ's work, and an act that we are called to constantly live-out. 

In times of controversy, it is as important as ever that Christians understand the nature and pathways to biblical unity. 

Join Jeremy, Alex, and Pastor Jason Belgrave as they discuss biblical unity.

God has ultimate authority, and delegates authority to humanity.

All human authority is limited and defined by God.

The rightful exercise of authority is a good and necessary aspect of God's purposes in the world. However, because of sin, authority is often abdicated or abused.

Authoritarianism is the sinful and foolish tendency to either wrongly assume authority to oneself, or ascribe it to others .

Authoritarianism is the enemy of human flourishing, and results in chaos, neglect, abuse, and misery.  It is the pattern of sinful humanity, and sadly, prevalent in the world and even the church today. 

The gospel rightly orders all authority under Christ, and empowers and instructs us how to rightly exercise authority for God's glory and the good of others. 

We cannot reject Christ, and still have justice. 

God is the source of all justice. 

Christ died to display the justice of God, and justify sinners. 

Join Jeremy and Alex as they discuss what true justice looks like, and how it must be rooted in the transcendent reality of God himself, revealed in His word and His Son. 

One of the most pressing and practical questions for Christians in Canada has been: How do I be faithful to Scripture when my leaders aren't? 

This has always been an issue for Christians, and will be until Jesus glorifies his Bride. 

Join Jeremy, Alex, and Tristan as they discuss biblical principles for Christians in sad and complex situations. 

Whatever our circumstances, we can be sure of God's will for our lives: gratitude. 

"give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

Join Jeremy and Alex as they consider the many mercies of God over the past year and a half, and the countless blessings that have come in the midst of difficult times. 

The Bible, not our own cultural and temperamental sensitivities, should inform how we speak to one another.

One of the oft-employed forms of speech used by God and his people is satire.

This form of speech is necessary in the face of pride, vice, and folly, and should be employed by Christians in a manner consistent with Scripture.

As Leland Ryken writes,

"... tone (the writer’s attitude toward the material) is crucial in satire.  Two modes of satiric attack exist:  satirists can either laugh vice and folly out of existence, or they can lash vice and folly out of existence. "

Christians, especially Canadians, are prone to have a more narrow view of sanctified language than the Bible. This is a problem. 

This week we are joined by our friend and brother, Andrew, to discuss the godly use of satire.
