Isaiah 9 is more than just a passage to read around Christmas time. It is a bold declaration about who Jesus is, what He does, and who He is for. It is a word of encouragement for those who walk or live in darkness about the transformational, powerful light of Jesus. It is for those who risk obedience to Him, where life change is an inevitability.

We all know how words fan be used to destroy, but the can also be used to build up, encourage, and comfort. These prophetic words of affirmation can bring healing to deep wounds, silence the voice of shame, and encourage us to trust Jesus. Pastor Ross explains and shows how this can be used to bless others.

Genesis chapter 1 contains the first six days of creation. And it is easy to focus on the mechanics and order in which God created everything and miss the heart behind it. The why God made everything reveals the Heart of God towards us, His masterpiece of creation. Pastor Ross highlights each day of creation in order to see how the beauty, splendor, and glory that God has created, is then gifted to us.

In the opening verses of Genesis we meet the main character of the story - God. God in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. But in verse 3, Light appears, but it's not until day 4 that the sun, moon, and stars are made. So what is the Light on day 1 in verse 3? It must be Jesus, and we discover that God is giving us a gospel presentation in verse 4.

Who is this God of creation? What is He like? What are His characteristics and how do they matter to me? These are the most important questions we can ever ask - because in asking them we discover a God is bigger and greater than we could ever imagine. Join Pastor Ross as he examines just a few of the key characteristics of God and what they mean for us and our relationship to Him.

Sometimes Jesus is silent on a subject. Sometimes Jesus has other plans. Sometimes, even when we're desperate, we find out that Jesus' plans are different than ours. What do we do when accepting Jesus' plan is hardest thing we could do. Mark 7:24-30 describes the story of a woman who came to interrupt Jesus' plans in a dire situation. A fateful story that reconnects us with the importance of trusting Jesus.

In Part 1 we explored the scientific theories of the origin of the universe (you can watch that message here https://youtu.be/7PjS32Kumbs). In Part 2, Pastor Ross explores the various theories of creation from a Biblical perspective. This matters, because if the Bible provides a credible account of creation, then the God of the Bible must the Creator and therefore rightful Lord God of the universe - but also us.

Psalm 3 is a description of King David at the darkest point of his life - rejected and pursued by his son's army. However among all his failures leading up to this point the psalmist also demonstrates an uncanny ability to trust in God. Like David, we are surrounded, enclosed and encircled by hardships. So much so that it feels like there is no escape from harm. How do we endure this? We can endure hardships by trusting that no matter what comes; God is our shield, support and salvation. When we trust Him to be those things for us, we experience His honour, His strength at work and His justice.

As we begin a new series through the first four chapters of Genesis, we must start with examining the various views of how creation came to be. Are faith and science opposed to one another? Is the science really settled when it comes to answering the bigger questions of life such as how we can to be and what is our purpose today? Pastor Ross starts with examining the theories of Evolution and the Big Bang from a scientific point of view and the conclusions that they both reach when fully applied.

In a very political environment, the issue of abortion and what to do when you are facing an unexpected pregnancy has been used as a political litmus test. What role should the church play in these situations? Pastor Josh interviews Jenn Holbrook of The Pregnancy Centre in Kitchener and shares how her team moves past the politics and loves the mothers and unborn children by inviting them into a community of grace and love.

Unfortunately, we weren't promised a good time for a short time. We were promised a short time of hard times. One thing we were promised was that we could know Him who our hearts desire and that would be enough. We have accepted the invitation to know Him in the past but will we accept the invitation again- especially in difficult times? John 2:1-11, shows us that Jesus in His timing, will make himself known in the impossible scenarios in our lives.

Since the birth of the Church 2,000 years ago, the Church has struggled to understand the role and function of the Law now that we are under the New Covenant. From the Scriptures, Pastor Ross explains three purposes that God intend with the Law and what role it has today and how we can know God's love for us today.

It's a wrap. As we end our study through the book of Ephesians, we look at Paul's blessing to the church in his closing remarks. Pastor Ross explores how four words - peace, love, faith, and grace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ can bring healing to anyone that is hurting.

There are two types of community - healthy and unhealthy. But what are the traits and characteristics of each? Pastor Ross explores this in his message in response the sacrificial love of the Apostle Paul in sending his friend and co-laborer, Tychicus to the Ephesians.

Prayer that doesn't give up makes all the difference. It connects us to our source - Jesus, and discover a power that can be unleashed through us into a hurting world.

As we conclude the Armor of God series, we come to the final two items that every Christian needs in battle – the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit. The helmet of salvation is more about the battle that we face in our minds. And the Sword of the Spirit is how Jesus overcomes those voices in our mind, that we might experience life, His life, today.

Are you wondering where all of what NLF is doing is leading to? The elders shared their vision for the church and how they believe Father is creating a community that knows and experiences His grace, to us and to one another.

We all struggle with worrying about what other people think of us or the harm others can do to us. it is often the reason why we are inhibited in letting the life of Christ be expressed through us. Matthew 10:24-33 is the recording of Jesus' teaching on what it is to fear men and how God has uniquely set the believer apart to live in freedom from fear.
