We're a bit numb, aren't we? While we continue to focus on the hope that we have, the physicality of what we're walking through is real. Brain fog, a snappy temper, pervasive exhaustion. Hope deferred makes the heart sick. With this in mind, we are taking the next two Sundays to revisit The Relationship Lab and check in with you, and each other, through Relate Online. Join us for the first of two incredible conversations with our panelists Helen Burns, John Burns, Angela Doell, and Brandon Donnery!
So, What Now? - John Burns
With the celebration of Easter, we remember that Jesus is resurrected. And that begs the question: what now? The answer: the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Listen on for an amazing message on the Holy Spirit from Pastor John!
The New New - Angela Doell
Listen to Sunday's incredible Easter message from Pastor Angela called "The New New"!
When Will My Prayers Be Answered? - Dan Comrie
We've all asked it: WHEN will my prayers be answered? What's taking so long? Pastor Dan, our Valley Campus Pastor, gave an incredible message on Sunday about waiting on God, and you won't want to miss it!
Where is God in the Silence? - Angela Doell
What do we do when God is silent? When we can't HEAR him? In this episode, Pastor Angela continues our latest series Backcountry Faith and explores navigating the silent wilderness.
How Do I Get Through Pain? - Angela Doell
How do I DO this? How do I get through pain? How do I heal through suffering?
If you've ever asked yourself these questions, this message is for you. Pastor Angela addresses the problem of pain and suffering, and how Jesus shows us how process pain and navigate dark times.
Backcountry Faith - Angela Doell
It's wild out there. The landscape has changed, and we're navigating unfamiliar territory. Life in the wilderness, in the off-map detours, requires a raw faith. Easy answers and shallow convictions don't cut it. As we move toward Easter, we are preparing our hearts, digging into hard questions, and getting honest about the reality of unanswered prayer and the things we cannot make sense of. Journey with us from the Garden of Gethsemene, to the cross, to the unshakable hope of Resurrection Sunday.
Courage To Love - John Burns
What if today was the last chance you had to show love to someone important to you? What would you do? Listen to this encouraging message from Pastor John titled "Courage To Love" to hear more!
Like A Seed - Rod Doell
In this message Pastor Rod shares an encouraging word about growth. He brings some helpful and strong biblical truths that will help you if you feel like you're in a holding pattern or cannot see the growth that you've been hoping for and working toward.
Small Miracles - Angela Doell
It's easy to overlook the small things but, really, it's the small things that are most important in life. In this message, Pastor Angela encourages us with a teaching on what love looks like in small circles. What does it mean to gather in community, in a season where that is limited? Listen on to find out!
A Long Hard Look In A Mirror Called Love - Dan Comrie
What are you looking at? Listen to this incredible message from Pastor Dan, our Valley Campus Pastor, to find out! He explores four mirrors we often find ourselves gazing into. These are the mirror of self, the mirror of circumstance, the mirror of community, and the mirror of God. He begs us to reflect and ask the question: What mirror have I spent the most time looking at lately?
The Real Friend - Brandon Donnery
What does it mean to be a friend to others, and to God? What even is friendship, anyway? Brandon, our Youth and Young Adults Director, answered these questions (and more!) on Sunday.
Thank God I Didn’t Quit – Helen Burns
"I'm ready to give up." Have you heard these words lately? Maybe you've spoken them, or maybe you've heard someone else say them. If you have, you'll want to listen to this incredible message from Pastor Helen!
Don't Waste It - Angela Doell
There are good plans and there are God plans, and there is a difference. As great as our plans may seem, we don't want them if they are not God's. In fact, building anything that isn't of Him is useless. On Sunday, Pastor Angela gave an incredible word about precisely this idea, and you'll want to give it a listen!
Turning the Page - Rod & Angela Doell
Our Candlelit Christmas Eve
As Christmas approaches, we've been thinking about these questions: How can we experience the real meaning of Christmas in a deep way? How can we celebrate in a way that really impacts us, and our families, and our neighbourhood? How can we slow it way down so that we don’t miss the essential in the middle of the frantic? This Christmas will likely be different than any other, and we want to make the most of it.
