One of the popular criticisms about the bible is that it is quite oppressive towards women, but what if that's not really the case? What if the bible is actually incredibly progressive and supportive of the equality of women? What would that mean for us, and how did things get so misunderstood? This week we dive into the scriptures to see what they really have to teach us.

It's amazing how many people think that life is just a random collection of events, and don't really stop to think about how much of a part their actions and decisions truly play in their daily lives. Galatians 6:7 tells us that we reap what we sow, but what does that really mean, and what can we do to take back control of our lives?

Some of us carry around so much shame, and guilt that it feels like we can't take another step. In today's passage, Jesus comes across a woman like that, but instead of heaping more guilt on her shoulders he lifts her up and gives her a place of honour. But, what does that mean for us today?

There's so much competition in the world today, and so often it spills over into the church. Churches competing against other churches, but is this what Jesus wants? This week we look at what the Gospel of John has to say about it.

The phrase "Born Again Christian" is one that is pretty well known in North American culture these days, but just what exactly does it mean? What if it's not the best way to describe a follower of Jesus Christ? What if there are other things to consider when we say we are born again? And if we are born again, is this something that should only happen once, or is it a daily type thing? This week we look at these questions and more as we jumping in the passage found in John 3:1-15.

Often we think of Jesus as this gentle, almost passive person wandering aimlessly around the middle east waiting for the day he was to go to the cross, but nothing could be further from the truth. This week we look at the account of Jesus clearing the moneychangers and merchants out of the temple with a whip. It's a cool story, but what does it mean?

Alcohol and faith is a subject that can get a lot of arguments started, and is one that can cause some confusion. This week, we look at Jesus' miracle at the Wedding in Cana where he famously turns water into wine, and what that means for us today.

Jesus doesn't hold an interview process. He doesn't take applications to follow him. He chooses the unlikely, the misfits, the rejects, and calls them to join His mission.

For years, those of us that grew up in a Christian church have been told that we are to be a witness to the world for Jesus. Even Peter tells us that we are to be ready to give an answer to those who ask why we believe what we believe, but what does it really mean to be a witness for Jesus? What does it mean to live differently than the "world"? What if it doesn't mean what we think it does?

Sometimes it feels like something is missing in the church these days: like we've lost our foundation, lost our way. In his direct way, the Apostle John tells us this week that what really matters is what we do with Jesus. This week we look at what it would mean if we put Jesus back at the centre of our faith, and of our lives.
