We live in a strange time. We can witness a miracle on Monday and then attend a funeral on Tuesday. We live at a time when two clashing kingdoms are existing at the same time, and we live in the middle of the clash, feeling the pull from both kingdoms. In today’s teaching, we will discuss this life-stretching tension.

Jesus Christ was God but was also born as a baby, then grows up to be an adult man, and then dies. How does that all work? And according to the Bible, because of his death, somehow humanity can receive forgiveness. How is that possible? Those are the tensions (and questions) we will unpack during this week’s message.

Life tends to come at us quickly. Things tend to happen that we never anticipated. We do our best to plan things out, but, for whatever reason, things can come crashing down around us. If you can relate to this reality at all, you should know that Mary and Joseph, the parents of Jesus, have a lot in common with you! You should know that the events surrounding the typical “peaceful manger scene”, were anything but peaceful! Join us to see what lessons we can learn from their legendary journey.

We all have GIANTS in our lives that seem to appear out of nowhere. You wake up with a pay cheque and go to bed unemployed... GIANT. Out of the blue your landlord tells you that you need to start looking for a new place to live... GIANT. You’re in relatively good health, then your doctor informs you that you are now in a fight for your life against cancer... GIANT. The GIANTS in our lives always catch us off guard and most of the time we feel very under-prepared. But it doesn’t have to be that way. In this week's message, Pastor Simon unpacks the story of David vs. Goliath and explains how we can prepare to face the very real GIANTS in our own lives.

When certain moments happen in your life, do you chalk them up to just being random or an accident? Or is there something more to it? Is there a greater purpose? How do you make sense of certain moments in life? The lessons we will learn from the story of Esther will challenge us to rethink how we view these types of moments.

What do you do with the hurtful moments in your life: the stabs in your back; the pokes in your eye? Do you curse them? Do you dwell upon them? Do you revisit and regurgitate them? Do you wonder why God allowed them? Today we are going to meet a man named Joseph - a man whose life was a roller coaster ride. However, not only did Joseph survive, but he thrived along the way. In today’s teaching, we are going to discover the life-changing secret to Joseph’s success.

Have you ever found yourself doubting God? Have you ever found yourself wondering if God really cares or if God really knows what He is doing? If so, you have a lot in common with a man named Abraham. A man who, one day, faced a crisis at a level none of us could ever fathom. And how Abraham responded to that crisis will serve as a life-changing lesson and example for us all.

What do Kurt Cobain, The Fast and the Furious, and Drake, all have in common? They all are leaning into the same underlying assumption about what truly makes you happy in life. In this message, Pastor Simon unpacks the difference between hedonic and eudaimonic happiness, and reveals the SECRET TO HAPPINESS according to a Biblical Worldview and why the grand order of importance is the most important thing about you.

“Live your truth.” It’s a modern-day proverb that we hear all the time. Any claim can immediately be categorized as off limits to critique if the one making the claim simply utters these magic words: “It’s MY truth.” Is that how truth works? Can you have your own truth? Can I have my own truth? If my truth contradicts your truth, can both still be true? This teaching provides you with the answer to that question (and more!).
-
Why is “believe in yourself” a really stupid proverb? Is self-belief or confidence wrong? No, not at all. However, in this message, we will learn that there is a line that can be crossed when it comes to believing in yourself. A line that has significant consequences.
-
“Follow your heart...” People say this all the time! And when they give us this advice, they sincerely think they are helping us. They sincerely think they are pointing us in the right direction. However, when you sit down and ponder this statement, you will soon discover that this is a recipe for disaster. During this teaching we are going to ponder this (really) stupid proverb. We will investigate the hidden assumptions behind it, the danger it brings, and how we can avoid the pitfalls it represents.

There is a difference between trimming a weed and uprooting a weed. When you merely trim a weed, nothing has actually changed. The weed is still there and in a short time, it will be visible once again. If you want to get rid of a weed, you need to remove it by the root. When it comes to recurring hurts and habits in our lives, we can often be guilty of trimming instead of uprooting. In today’s teaching, we will discover two common “roots” of recurring issues in our lives.
-
NOT ALL WOUNDS BLEED. So, how do we heal the deep hurts or habits within? Today, we’re addressing the second crucial step that must be taken for real healing to occur. We will discover two essential ingredients for healing that can only be found in one very important place… the Cross of Jesus Christ. Pastor Simon walks us through practical steps on why forgiveness is so important and how it can be achieved.
-
When it comes to the wounds in our hearts and minds, the first key to “getting healed” is getting to the truth - seeing things in your life as they truly are. It isn’t always easy to do this. It can often be difficult to come face to face with the reality about our lives. In today’s teaching, we will discover four powerful lenses through which we can look. Four powerful lenses that will lead us to the truth, and position us to experience healing.

When it comes to church, are you merely a face in the crowd, or are you a follower of Jesus? What is the difference? How can you know? This teaching exposes a false gospel that deceives people, and this teaching unpacks the true gospel that transforms lives. This teaching could save your life.

What happens to us, after we die? Do we cease to exist? Do we simply become unconscious? Do we float around as ghosts, wandering the earth? Do we go to some heavenly location, playing harps on a cloud? What does the future hold for us after death? If you have ever wondered about these things, you will not want to miss this sermon.

How can humans have free wills to do as we please, and God have control over the universe at the same time? Isn’t that impossible? And if God knows what we are going to do tomorrow, doesn’t that mean we are destined to do what we do tomorrow? How is that having a free will? All of these questions will be answered in this one, fascinating teaching!
