Society often tells single people that life can’t be complete until they find their “other half.” Thankfully, God doesn’t see it that way! Today pastors Dan and Amber tag team the message to dispel “singleness myths” and give you cliche-free wisdom on navigating this season in your life.

Happy relationships begin long before the right partner ever shows up. In week 1 of our "Relationship Goals" series, pastor Dan shares how to prepare while you wait for your person to show up.

It’s usually a bad thing when something breaks - dishes, electronics, hearts. But sometimes, brokenness is exactly what’s needed for God to accomplish His purpose in our lives. Today we examine Mark 14:1-9 and see that God’s mercy is always greater than my history!

The bible is most often viewed as ancient self-help. A book with the wisdom to make you happy, healthy, wealthy and wise. But the scriptures were written for a different purpose; not to exalt us, but to exalt Jesus. Reading verses with this perspective will completely transform what the bible says to you!

It’s easy to view the bible as a random collection of verses. But when we pull statements out of the scriptures without reading the context, we risk twisting what the Word actually says. It’s a mistake believers and skeptics are both guilty of! In today’s message, pastor Dan shows how considering the context can clarify confusing verses.

Did you know God doesn’t expect you to follow every rule in the Bible? It’s true! But how do we know which commands we should keep and which ones we can “ignore?” Pastor Dan breaks it all down in week two of “How (Not) to Read the Bible.”

The Bible is a lightning rod in the modern world: Strange commands, old fashioned teachings and (supposedly) countless contradictions. But what if the Bible isn’t wrong, we’re merely reading it wrong? Perhaps a proper understanding of what the Bible is can make you fall in love with all of it - even the really weird stuff! Join us for week one of “How (Not) to Read the Bible.”

It's safe to say we all hope 2022 offers something different than the past couple of years. But regardless of whether our circumstances change, God offers all of us something fresh this January!

When God works a miracle in your life, the temptation is to immediately run off and enjoy it. But Luke 17 tells us why it’s important to slow down and give proper thanks when the impossible suddenly happens.

It’s wonderful when God says “yes” to our prayers. But how do we make sense of His “no”? Believe it or not, there were times when the Father said “no” to Jesus’ prayers, too. His example can help you keep your joy when it feels like life just isn’t going your way.

WE HAD A PARTY! In this special service, we reveal how much money we received in our Crazy Faith offering and share with you how those funds are making a massive difference in our community this Christmas!

God rarely says “yes” to our prayers immediately, and this can lead us to take matters into our own hands. In today’s message, pastor Dan explains why patience is both the best and the hardest thing to have when you find yourself in a tough spot.

It’s easy to forget that while we are waiting for a miracle, we can be preparing for a miracle. In this week’s message, pastor Amber shares why your waiting season doesn’t have to be a wasted season!

It’s easy to talk about having Crazy Faith, but what if I have very little faith at all? Will I ever see a miracle if I still have doubts and fears? In today’s message, pastor Dan shares why the object of your faith matters far more than the amount of your faith!

What would you ask God for if you had absolute confidence in His power and goodness? In our new series called “Crazy Faith” we are going to dream big and see miracles as we learn to believe God for more. Stick around for the end of the message - it’s going to be unlike anything you’ve ever seen before!

If you are a Christian, you are in "the family business." Mother-daughter team Kathy and Stephanie Morales share what that means and how it plays out in their lives in this week's wonderful message!

Several times in the gospels Jesus becomes really frustrated with his disciples over how they treat people (and one another!). I bet he feels the same way today. How is it that “God so loved the world” but Christians so hate their neighbour? It doesn’t add up! In this morning’s message, pastor Dan challenges us to love like Jesus.

There are about 1 million words in the English bible. (I have no idea who counted them all!) But there is one word used that might be the most important of all. Which one could it be: Salvation? Money? God? Nope! "The Gospel" is a phrase you’ve heard many times before, and today pastor Dan explains why it’s so wonderful.

When the prophet Elijah was at his lowest point, God brought 5 things his way to help him overcome his despair. In the final message of this series, pastor Dan shares how to step into the light when depression darkens what you see.

Life is full of different types of pain, discomfort, stress, fear, and anxiety - but what’s the point? Why would a good God allow us to feel such bad things? In this week’s message, Pastor Kyle explains how pain is not meant to simply hurt us, but is actually a useful tool meant to help us.
