The most important counsel on marriage is summarized in Ephesians 5:33, the husband "is to love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband." And do it without conditions. But how do you such a thing? And what does that look like? Pastor Ross teaches this critical dynamic within marriage and gives some ideas of what it will look like. Article summarizing what love and respect can look like. https://www.newlifekw.ca/articles/2021/4/16/love-and-respect Y...

Evangelism is one of those parts of the Christian life that is often scary for people. Intimidated by questions of how, and worried about how it will be received, are often enough to stop us from speaking out. Jeremy Doorten of ‘e3 Canada’ and ‘I Am Second’ (https://www.e3ministry.ca) joins us this morning to answer those and other questions and hopefully encourage each of us to trust Jesus as we let our light shine in a dark and hurting world.

Easter Sunday is known across the world as Resurrection Day. We celebrate the glorious news that Jesus is Risen! That no grave could hold Him. But it is also the day that we celebrate the truth that because of what Jesus did on the cross, we are now a part of a NEW and much better covenant. A covenant that is based on the finished work of Jesus. Join Pastor Ross as he describes the significance of being in the New Covenant.

Certain words and ideas can elicit very strong reactions. Few can compare to the reaction of hearing words like; authority, submission, and headship. Yet these are ideas and concepts that are designed by God, and therefore are good. We need to separate what God is telling us been poorly taught. The latter leads to misery, but the former leads life. Pastor Ross explains how Ephesians 5:22-24 describes why God created authority and what that means for a wife and what it means for a husband. You ca...

There are few words in the Bible that elicit as strong as a reaction than submission, or suitable helper. The reaction is often a result of not understanding what God is intending with those words and the result has strong negative results in our marriages. Join Pastor Ross as he begins a multi-week study on marriage, beginning with understanding that submission is a mutual response between husband and wife.

What does Paul mean when in Ephesians 5:18 he commands us to be filled with the Spirit? He is not referring to a second blessing or some special experience - but an invitation in each moment to experience the life of Jesus in us, rather than the emptiness of the flesh.

How do WE worship God with excellence? It's one thing for us to pursue that as an individual but how do we manage that as a community? We bring so many different histories, habits from shame, and religiosity into the mix - how is it possible.

Being intelligent is not the same thing as being wise. And having one doesn't guarantee the other. So, the Apostle Paul invites us to walk and live as wise people who make the most of the moment because they know the will of God.

As children of God, we are called saints. That describes both our nature as well as our calling. It is a calling that is not to conform ourselves to the way the world thinks and operates, but a call to be different. To live as God calls us. In Ephesians 5:3-10 we discover a call to live differently by living from what Jesus tells us to do in the moment.

There is only one answer to the pain and bitterness that remains from our past wounds. Forgiveness. But how? How do we forgive those who have caused such deep hurt and offence? How do we recover when we lost so much? Thankfully, Father’s word shows us how in Ephesians 4:31-32.

What we do with our hurts and wounds will determine the degree of freedom we will experience. If we decide that we never will allow anyone to ever hurt us again, we retreat into a 'panic room' of sorts within our selves. This form of self-protection will provide some protection from the abuse of others - but it will also keep love and life out as well. Guaranteeing that our wounds and hurts, which are locked up with us in our panic room, will only get worse. You can watch this message on YouTube...

As we close out 2020, it is natural to reflect on how difficult a year it has been, and hope that next year will be better. But what if next year is not better? What if next year is more of the same, or even worse? Where do we find the hope to continue? We look to those who have gone before us for their wisdom. Particularly, David in Psalm 31 where he writes about his distress, loneliness, and struggles and how he placed his hope in God as an answer. You can watch this message on YouTube here: h...

One of the hardest, if not most hardest thing to do in the Christian's walk is to wait. Waiting for change in our circumstance. Waiting to hear from God. Waiting for the healing we ask for. Waiting for an open seat in a coffee shop. How do we wait upon the Lord? Pastor Robin teaches us from Psalm 27:14 the power that comes from God as He strengthens our patience as we wait.

Anger is a common emotion. And while emotions are not good or bad in themselves, expressions of anger that are controlled by the Flesh can leave much damage. Both to the one who is angry and those around. Overcoming the temptation to express our anger in unhealthy ways needs more than just counting to ten and other shallow solutions. It needs the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome the Flesh and show us how to respond with love. You can also watch this message here: https://youtu.be/2tu4skb1m6g...

Jesus said that one thing is necessary and that one thing is listening to Him. But let's be honest, listening to Jesus in our active, busy lifestyles, even when we are doing good things, is hard. Luke 10:38-42 gives us an intimate picture of the necessary first steps to listening to Jesus. And that comes in acknowledging our union with Jesus, paying attention to distractions that deny your union with Him, and cherishing the gift of our union with Him.
