================This Week's Scripture:// Genesis 1:26-29 //Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, after our likeness, so they may rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move on the earth.”
God created humankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them, male and female he created them.
God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply! Fill the earth and subdue it! Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that moves on the ground.” Then God said, “I now give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the entire earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.”

Heaven & Hell (and everything in between): Sin & Salvation

This Sunday, we continue our sermon series, "Heaven & Hell (and everything in between)," and look at sin and salvation—and how that all fits in to how we live our lives in the present while working towards bringing heaven to earth. As we prepare our hearts, let us ponder on 2 Corinthians 5:20, which says, "We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God."

================This Week's Scripture:// 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 //Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Heaven & Hell (and everything in between): New Creation

This Sunday, Pastor Wade continues our series, "Heaven & Hell (and everything in between)," by talking about new creation—and especially our roles in that. Let us reflect on Romans 8:18-19 as we prepare our hearts for the service: "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed."

For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.

Heaven & Hell (and everything in between): Heaven & Earth

This Sunday, Pastor Wade kicks off our new sermon series titled, "Heaven & Hell (and everything in between)" by looking at what the Bible actually speaks most about: heaven and earth.

================This Week's Scripture:// Revelation 21:1-5 //
Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

Three Essential Prayers: Wow

Pastor Brenda closes out the "Three Essential Prayers" series by looking at prayers of praise for God, and how that enables us to live a life that is brimming in confidence. As we prepare for Sunday, let us reflect on Psalm 145:1-2, which proclaims, "I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever. Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever."

The 7 I AM Statements: I Am the Resurrection and the Life

In this Easter Sunday service, Pastor Wade will look into what Jesus meant when he declared, "I Am the Resurrection and the Life" and what it means for our lives to know that Christ is risen. As we reflect throughout this Holy Week, may we also take a moment to reflect on John 11:25, where Jesus says, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die.”

The 7 I AM Statements: I Am the True Vine

In this Palm Sunday podcast, Pastor Brenda looks into Jesus as "the True Vine" and how that requires shifts in our attitudes and behaviours. The sermon will look at what it means to bear good fruit and what it takes to bear it. As we preparing our hearts for this service, let us reflect on John 15:1-2, where Jesus declares, "I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener. He takes away every branch that does not bear fruit in me. He prunes every branch that bears fruit so that it will bear more fruit."

================This Week's Scriptures:// John 15:1-8 //“I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener. He takes away every branch that does not bear fruit in me. He prunes every branch that bears fruit so that it will bear more fruit. You are clean already because of the word that I have spoken to you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me.
“I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me—and I in him—bears much fruit, because apart from me you can accomplish nothing. If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown out like a branch, and dries up; and such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, and are burned up. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want, and it will be done for you. My Father is honoured by this, that you bear much fruit and show that you are my disciples.
