The bible is full of stories of God showing up in ways that challenge expectations. Stories where the poor, the disadvantaged, and the social outcasts are the people who are chosen to carry his message, challenging the social norms. In today’s message, Pastor Marc Gagnon leads us through Luke 2:1-20 and we see the good news of Jesus’ birth brought first to some of the lowest people in society.

The human soul cries out for justice. It seems built into the fibre of our being. Stories of injustice around the world grip us and we cry out for justice to be served. But our concept of justice is often reduced to mere punishment and retribution, falling short of God’s righteous ideal. As we dive into Luke 1:41-55 with Pastor Robyn Elliott, we’ll glimpse God’s grander vision for humanity and the invitation to be part of it today.

Do you have a plan for your life? For your business? Your career? A relationship? But what happens if life doesn’t turn out the way you think that it should? How will you respond when your plans get turned upside down? In this message, Pastor Marc Gagnon leads us through a passage in Luke as we look at the way Mary handled the news that her life was going to change forever. What can we learn from this story and what question do we need to ask ourselves every time life throws us a curveball?

Have you given up on God moving in an area of your life? Perhaps you’ve prayed for years for friendship to be restored. Maybe it’s a dream business you’ve been struggling to get started. Is there a family member you have prayed would be healed of an illness, but the years keep passing with no improvement and you’ve started to wonder if God even cares. Maybe you’ve stopped praying for it all together. This week, Pastor Marc Gagnon will lead us through the next section of the book of Luke as we take a look at Zechariah and Elizabeth and the supernatural intervention God made in their life after all hope seemed lost.

How do you learn more about someone? Usually, the best way to do that is to spend time with them. As Christians, we believe that not only can we spend time listening to Jesus now, we can also learn about Him by spending time in the account of His life on Earth. As Pastor Marc Gagnon introduces our new series looking at the book of Luke, we will be spending time in the story of Jesus; through the words of Luke. In this message, we will look at who Luke was, who he was writing to, and how God can use even an introduction to speak directly to us today.

He is risen! Today, Easter Sunday, Jesus followers celebrate the miracle of Jesus’ resurrection. But that first Easter Sunday was not a celebration, it was a funeral. At least it was, until it wasn’t! Today Pastor Marc Gagnon leads us through the greatest plot twist in history, and life, hope and freedom that comes with it.

Today is Good Friday. As Jesus followers, it is a day of remembrance; remembering the cost of our sin. We remember the sacrifice and suffering Jesus endured to pay that price. But it is also more than that. Join us as Pastor Marc Gagnon leads us through the crucifixion story and we sit in both the truth of our sin, and the grace of a God who stands in solidarity with anyone who has been betrayed, let down, traumatized, mocked, assaulted or marginalized.

What do you think of when you think of worship? You might think of singing, or nature, or coming together as a community, but what does worship actually mean and why does it matter who or what we worship? In this message, Pastor Daniel Bell leads us through scripture as we take a look at worship as an indicator of love, how it shapes who we are, and why we need to be careful of what (or who) we put at the centre of our hearts.

Pastor Robyn Elliott leads us through scripture as we explore the importance of safely sharing our failings, how confessing is an integral part of our Jesus following, and how we should share in the compassion that comes from a shared experience.
