From the series, "God Has a Name." Part 1 with Dave Stimers. “God” seems like a very generic term that means many things to many people. In the opening pages of the Bible, we discover one of the foundational characteristics of who God is. In week one of this series, we'll explore God as Elohim: creator, sustainer, and being made in His image.

A special Thanksgiving message with guest speaker, Dr. Isaac Odame. Thanksgiving is a great time of the year. An opportunity to express gratitude to God and/or people for all the good things we have received individually and as a family. But what about the bad things we have experienced? And after Thanksgiving is over, how can we continually show gratitude in our attitudes and behaviours?

From the series, "This Year’s Going To Be Different." Part 4 with Dave Stimers. Sometimes the rhythms of our lives can seem mundane. The minutes and hours that make up our days can seem so ordinary, and yet, all of us have special moments in our lives - moments that are packed with meaning and significance. One of the great invitations in our spiritual lives is to open our eyes to see those divinely appointed opportunities that God is calling us into.

From the series, "This Year’s Going To Be Different." Part 3 with Dave Stimers. One of the most important areas of our lives is often also one of the most neglected: our friendships.

From the series, "This Year’s Going To Be Different." Part 1 with Dave Stimers. As parents, we spend a lot of time trying to teach our kids to be more like us - to grow up! There are some obvious ways that are important but in other ways, perhaps that’s not such a good thing. If we’re honest, we probably don’t want our children to adopt our stress levels or propensity to worry. Maybe instead of trying to make our kids more like us, we need to become more like them.

From the series, "Order. Disorder. Reorder." Part 3 with Dave Stimers. Religion that stays superficial is dangerous. It is far too easily converted into a joyless, judgmental, and hypocritical disposition. There’s a much healthier way to live out our faith but we have to start at the foundation. God builds big things through small acts empowered by His Spirit.

From the series, "Order. Disorder. Reorder." Part 2 with Dave Stimers. One of the great enemies of growth is fear, but what if you weren’t afraid? How would you approach your life differently if you knew you were secure, valued, and cherished? Confidence comes by letting faith (not fear) frame your future!

From the series, "Order. Disorder. Reorder." Part 1 with Dave Stimers. Disorder will come into all of our lives.
