He is Coming

<description>Matthew 22-25 - Matthew 24:1-21:  Pain has a way of waking us up. In Matthew 24:1–21, Jesus describes a world marked by turmoil—false teachers, conflict and loss—but He calls these moments “birth pains,” not random chaos. Just as labour leads to new life, God is bringing His redemption to completion. Even when faith is tested and love grows cold, Christ invites us to stand firm, stay alert and keep our hope anchored in Him. The finish line isn’t fear—it’s the faithful presence of Jesus leading us home.Join us in-person or online this Sunday at 9 or 11am—and bring a friend!</description>

Birth Pains and Finish Lines

<description>Matthew 22-25 - Matthew 23:13-39:  Do you ever find yourself going through life, feeling like you’re carrying a heavy burden? Carrying some extra baggage? Some of those things are things we choose to carry. And some are placed upon us by others. In Matthew 23:13-39, Jesus tackles the latter, accusing the Pharisees of being hypocrites and making life hard by creating rules and a way of living that weighs people down. Jesus has some harsh things to say about this and judgement that might come as a surprise. Come find out why Jesus hates hypocrisy and respond to His invitation to lay down our burdens and embrace His life-giving blessing. </description>

The Weight of Woes

<description>Missions Emphasis Sunday Nov 2025 - 2 Timothy 2:2, 1Thessalonians 2:5-12:  Determining the relationship is a popular expression early in a relationship. We start at the Allurement stage, when we are attracted to their “eyes”. Next is the Exploration stage, when we explore backgrounds such as likes and dislikes. Soon we are faced with the decision to Go Deeper, and that is when things really get serious. Lastly, that forever Commitment stage is in front of us, when you entrust yourself to “jump in with both feet.” This Sunday, we're going to examine the stage of relationship with God and ultimately ask the question, "Am I ready to be fully committed?</description>
