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?

In today’s teaching, we are going to discover the life-changing secret to Joseph’s success.

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.

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.

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?

All of these questions will be answered in this one, fascinating teaching!
