Holy Work

Launch - Luke 9:23-25, 57-62: We all have things we want to put first: comfort, family, responsibilities, plans, all kinds of things. But Jesus’ invitation is both simple and challenging: follow Me fully. In Luke 9:23–25 and 57–62, Jesus encounters people who want to follow Him - but each has a “first, let me.” Jesus offers something better. He gave up comfort, set His face toward the cross and surrendered everything to bring us home. Following Jesus isn’t about following perfectly; it’s about deciding who comes first. What might be competing with Jesus in your life? Join us this Sunday at 9 or 11am, and bring a friend!

Launch - Philippians 3:7-14: What matters most about you? We all carry a list of accomplishments, relationships, experiences and identities that tell us who we are. In Philippians 3:7–14, Paul looks at everything that once defined him and reaches a startling conclusion: Jesus is better. Knowing Jesus deeply is more than knowing about Him - it is discovering that He is worth more than everything else we could gain. And decades after meeting Christ, Paul is still pursuing Him with everything he has. What would change if knowing Jesus became the great pursuit of your life? Join us this Sunday at 9 or 11am and bring a friend!

Truth & Practice - Exodus 31:1-6: Does your daily routine really matter to God? This Labour Day weekend, we wrap up our Truth & Practice series by exploring Holy Work in Exodus 31:1–6. Long before God appointed kings or priests, the very first person filled with the Holy Spirit in Scripture was a blue-collar craftsman. Whether you are heading into an office, a classroom, a job site, managing a home or navigating retirement, your labour is not an obstacle to your faith - it’s where God meets you. Join us as we discover how our everyday hands carry out God's sacred purpose.

Truth & Practice - Psalm 90:10-17: Life moves faster than we realize. Summers end, children grow, years pass and the days we assume we have are never guaranteed. In Psalm 90:10–17, Moses asks God to teach us to number our days so that we might gain a heart of wisdom. The Fountain of Wisdom flows from seeing God clearly, recognizing the brevity of life and receiving His abundant grace. Rather than making us fearful, Biblical wisdom teaches us to live with greater joy, purpose and intention - trusting God to establish the work of our hands. Join us this Sunday at 10am and bring a friend!

Truth & Practice - Isaiah 40:27-31: Life has a way of draining our strength and testing our hope. Through disappointment, uncertainty and unanswered prayers, it's easy to wonder if God still sees or cares. In Isaiah 40:27–31, God meets weary people with a timeless invitation: remember who He is, wait on Him and discover a strength that only He can provide. Join us this Sunday as we explore The Practice of Hope and learn why true hope is found not simply in better circumstances, but in the God who never grows tired or weary. Join us at 10am and bring a friend!

Truth & Practice - Isaiah 65:17-25: How we envision our future has a tremendous impact on how we experience our life today. Hope – the expectation of goodness to come - is a powerful thing, but given all the pain and disappointment we often experience in this life, it can be hard to hold on to. Join us as we look at the promise God gives in Isaiah 65:17-25 to make all things new and redeem all that is lost at the renewal of all things, encouraging us that, in Jesus, we have a beautiful future and therefore, so much reason with meaningful hope today!

Truth & Practice - Psalm 15: What does it mean to be holy? Psalm 15 asks one of the Bible's most searching questions: Who can dwell in God's presence? The answer is both beautiful and unsettling. God calls His people to lives of integrity, truth, justice, generosity and love - yet none of us measures up. The good news is that Jesus is the only One who perfectly fulfilled God's standard and now invites us to share in His life through grace. Join us this Sunday as we discover the puzzle of holiness and the hope found in Christ. Join us in person or online at 10am and bring a friend!

Truth & Practice - Ezekiel 36:25-27: Be holy, as God is holy. Inspiring... or impossible? This Sunday we'll wrestle with one of Scripture's greatest challenges and discover a promise from Ezekiel that changes everything. Come explore how God's plan was never about rules and willpower; it has always been about giving us a new heart. Join us as we uncover the beautiful truth of sanctification and what it means for everyday life. You may never hear the command, "Be holy," the same way again. See you Sunday at 10am. And bring a friend!

Truth & Practice - 1 Kings 19:1-8: What does it mean to be fully human? In a world obsessed with optimization, performance and self-improvement, the story of Elijah reminds us of a different truth. After a dramatic victory, Elijah finds himself exhausted, afraid and ready to give up. Yet God meets him not with disappointment, but with gentleness, rest and care. In 1 Kings 19:1–8, we discover that our fragility does not disqualify us from God's love or purpose. Join us this Sunday as we explore what it means to be Fully Human. Join us in person or online at 10am and bring a friend!

Truth & Practice - Exodus 40:34-38: Can you remember the first time you met the person who would become your best friend? It may have been a special experience or one you forgot a long time ago. You probably didn’t even realize this person would become so important in your life. This week we’ll be looking at Exodus 40 and John 1. In these chapters God shows us what He is like so that we can connect with Him. It makes sense that if we want to follow Jesus, we should know all about Him. We can find hope through every challenge we face in life because of this relationship.
