Whether we are aware of them or not we all have priorities in life. As we face another year full of new opportunities and challenges, let’s focus our priorities in a way that sets life right. Psalm 73:25-28

As a year comes to a close and a new one is dawning, we often find ourselves framing tomorrow through the lens of the past. What if God isn’t finished with us quite yet? In this closing message of 2017 we are reminded that our story is never complete until every chapter is written. Matthew 10:1-4

A Father’s Heart. Joseph’s life is a telling study of a father’s heart, especially in the cultural dilemma he finds himself in. Whenever we are confronted by the truth of Jesus, we face a crisis with culture. Matthew 1:18-25

Wondering? For Mary, the reality of her place in history was never far from her mind. What Mary wondered about her child, is repeated for everyone who comes face to face with Jesus. Luke 2:, 19, 51

The Name Game. Few things can spark joy and hope like the birth of a baby, especially if its destined for greatness. Centuries ago, a prophet predicted a birth, one destined for a life so wonderful, a single name could not contain his legacy. Isaiah 9:6-7

The Christmas season brings for many a renewed sense of hope. In this message, we look at the Incarnation, a reminder of where our hope lies and the greatest expression of grace the world has ever known. Galatians 4:4-7

Light Ahead. In this closing message we look a passage written to speak into one of the darkest periods for the nation of Israel. The message for them still holds true today and transforms any season of waiting into hopeful anticipation. Isaiah 40:25-31

Waiting Through the Pain. Suffering – it comes in all shapes and sizes. It doesn’t discriminate and it doesn’t play favourites. How do we manage when we feel the weight of pain without relief? 2 Corinthians 4:6-12

When God is Silent. What do we do when God appears to go silent? What do we do when the silence tempts us to give up? What if one simple truth made the difference when the silence seems overwhelming? Genesis 39:1-23

When Help is Nowhere in Sight. There are moments when we feel we are barely keeping our heads above water. How do we continue to tread water without losing hope? Psalm 69

I See You. There’s no denying that a rushed life can cause us to miss what’s important, even when its right under our noses. If this is true for what is seen, then how does it affect what is unseen? What do we miss about God when life diverts our attention due to its frenetic pace? What does life at 3mph teach us about our heavenly Father? Matthew 6:25-34

Buried Treasure. The more we allow the pace of life to dictate the rules of the race, the further we drift into patterns that are unhealthy. What did Jesus say about how our lives should be constructed? What does life at 3mph teach us about total well-being? Luke 6:43-49

In Deep. From multitasking to overtime, we can quickly get buried in work. Being busy by itself is not always a bad thing, but without taking time to step away and reset, we can soon find ourselves overwhelmed. What does life at 3mph teach us about being productive? Mark 6:30-34

Touch Me. Life with others is messy, especially when their needs become overwhelming. What does life at 3mph teach us about trusting God, having faith, and caring for others? Mark 5:21-43

Defiled. We often act as if temptation is an outside force. Though true to a point, its source is much deeper. What does life at 3mph teach us about temptation? Matthew 15:12-20

Divine Pause. We’ve all heard the adage less is more? How do we sift through daily demands to the heart of what’s most important. What does life at 3mph teach us about priorities? Mark 1:34-39

Remembrance. Sometimes we yearn for the past, believing it was better than our present circumstances. Sometimes, though, a moment in the past is what creates the only hope for today. 1 John 1:1-4

Staking a Claim. There are times we look back upon and wish we had recognized the gravity of moment. History is often shaped in a moment, but seldom are the implications understood until years later. The same is true about the life and ministry of Jesus. Many who heard him struggled in the moment, yet over the years, his life has transformed our world. Luke 4:16-22

More Than a Name. He wasn’t even born yet when his name appeared on the prophetic timetable. Years later, he became the catalyst for something only a few thought possible. Ezra 1:1-3

And the Winner is… We are all subject to being judged and measured by others. It’s a reflection of our common tendency to judge a book by its cover as the saying goes. Is there a better measurement, one that truly gets to the heart of who we are? 1 Samuel 16:1-13
