How Surrender Positions You For A Miracle // Andy Stanley // Miracles Then & Now (P4)

What if experiencing a miracle isn’t about formulas, prayers, or luck… but about posture? In Part 4 of Miracles: Then & Now, Andy Stanley challenges a common assumption about miracles: they aren’t random, but they do happen where people position themselves in surrender to God’s purposes. It’s not about manipulating outcomes — it’s about embracing trust even when it costs us something. If you’ve been wrestling with a big decision, wondering where God is, or hoping for something more — this me...

Living With The Tension Of Unanswered Prayer // Andy Stanley // Miracles Then & Now (Part 2)

You’ve probably seen it before—one person gets the miracle, and someone else doesn’t. One story ends in celebration, the other in heartbreak. And if you’re honest, it’s hard not to wonder: Is God playing favourites? Is He even listening? In Part 2 of Miracles: Then & Now , Andy Stanley walks us through a raw and often overlooked tension in the Bible—why Peter lives, but Stephen dies. Why some people are healed while others are left waiting. And what it actually means to trust God when the ou...

Two Incredible Miracles That Science Can't Explain // Andy Stanley // Miracles Then & Now (Part 1)

We all have moments when we long for a miracle—whether it’s for healing, provision,‬‭ reconciliation, or just to get through another day. This message reminds us that while many of‬ us have prayed for miracles, and sometimes didn’t receive them the way we hoped, our faith is‬ anchored in two foundational miracles: the creation of the universe and the resurrection of‬‭ Jesus. These remind us that God is powerful, present, and working—even when we don’t see it.‬

When It Looked Like The End, It Was Just The Beginning // Good Friday // Jeff Brodie

Ready to flip the way most of us think about failure, pain, and hopelessness. At first glance, Jesus’ death looked like the end of the story — brutal, unjust, and tragic.

What if the events surrounding Good Friday were about trust, hope, and a different kind of King who didn’t come to take power, but to give His life for the sak...

Choose Forgiveness // Triggered (Part 4) // Jeff Brodie

“I’ll forgive, but I won’t forget.” Sound familiar? We act like forgiveness is some favour we give to‬ someone who deserves it, but Jesus tells a different story.
