Journey through Scripture as we trace God’s salvation plan woven through the Jewish people, setting the stage for the Messiah’s arrival. Then, discover astonishing fulfilled prophecies from Ezekiel—spanning Israel’s barren desolation in 1867 to its miraculous rebirth in 1948—and catch a thrilling glimpse of what God’s Word says is still on the horizon.Guest speaker is Tom Birch.

Pastor Dirk is back with a challenge to think about who owns this world.

In this sermon by Pastor Dirk Haiste, we are reminded that God is always watching over humanity and seeking those persons whose hearts are fully committed to Him. Why? To strengthen them.

Brian Cornelis, an Elder at Westside Family Fellowship, shares from 2 Kings 5 about the 6 main characters in the story of Naaman's healing. You'll find that God uses the "least of these" to accomplish his purposes.

Scripture: Numbers 5:11-31Tom Birch asks Is Jesus in the difficult passages? We know that he fulfilled the Law, but did he fulfill all of them? Even the ones our culture finds strange or perhaps offensive? Maybe, if we look closely, we will see not only justice, but mercy; not only jealousy, but love; and above all, the presence of God closer than we dare to hope.Take time to reflect: Am I willing to invite God into the hidden places of my heart, trusting Him to bring truth, healing, and justice where human understanding falls short?

Pastor Colin and Jaymie Weeks are embarking on a new chapter of their journey through life. On today's episode, Pastor Lucas sits down with them to explore what brought them to this point and where their faith journey is taking them.

"The Power of a Father's Voice: Speaking Truth, Love, and Life"

This Father’s Day, we’re turning our ears to the voice of God the Father. In the Gospels, God speaks audibly three times—at Jesus’ baptism, on the Mount of Transfiguration, and during Passion Week. Each moment offers a glimpse of the Father’s heart and sets a pattern for how godly men are called to speak into the lives entrusted to them.

*And when Jesus was baptized, immediately He went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on Him; and behold, a voice from heaven said, ‘This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.’ *— Matthew 3:16–17

We celebrate and honour the fathers, husbands, and men among us who reflect the strength, tenderness, and truth of the Father. Their voice matters, and the way they lead in word and presence leaves a legacy of life and faith.

Take time to reflect: *What does the Father’s voice teach us about how we are called to speak? How might your words bring identity, encouragement, and spiritual clarity to those God has placed in your life?*

Misunderstanding God: Navigating Scripture with Love and Liberty

We're heading into our "Summer Shred" Bible Reading Challenge beginning June 15th. That can lead to misunderstanding what God is doing and saying. Pastor Lucas Chance give us some key strategies to overcome challenges and stay motivated during the summer Bible reading initiative:

1. Don't feel guilty if you miss reading or can't complete the entire daily reading. There are no merit badges or heavenly rewards for perfect completion.

2. Approach the reading with the right perspective:
- Look for God's love and freedom in the text
- Try to understand the deeper principles behind the scriptures
- Be open to learning and potentially discovering new insights

3. Recognize that reading the Bible is a discipline and can be challenging. It's normal to find it difficult to read for an hour each day.

4. Use available resources like audio Bibles if traditional reading is challenging.

5. Remember the goal is not just to complete a reading challenge, but to grow in understanding of God's nature and principles.

6. Be patient with yourself and view this as an opportunity for spiritual growth, not a strict obligation.

7. Consider finding an accountability partner or joining a group study to help maintain motivation and discuss what you're learning.

The key is to approach the "summer shred" with curiosity, grace, and a desire to understand God more deeply.
