Blessed is the Nation...
In this week's message, we reflect on the values upon which the country of Canada was founded. And in light of current events in our country, we would do good to pause and think about how it is that we have strayed so far from our biblical foundations as a nation. But beyond the usual discussion about the issues facing our culture, may we be reminded of our primary responsibility as Christians: the call to fervent prayer. Key Passages: Psalm 72:8, Psalm 144:15, Psalm 33, and Isaiah 1-6

The Glory of God in the Gospel of God, Reading the Cultural Texts Around Us
How does the gospel best move into a culture? Is it through power and influence, or is it through an informed band of believers living out their life on every level of human culture? How can we be involved with culture and engage it intelligently, without falling into the mechanisms and world systems that ultimately destroy it? How does the gospel story intersect the human one? Only by reading the culture, can we answer that question.

We the Church: Engage Culture
Often times there appears to be a gap between church and culture, our 'spiritual' life and our 'real' life, but this isn't how it's meant to be. God is Lord over all things, the ruler and maker of all creation.

The Glory of God in the Gospel of God, How Has the Culture Shaped the Gospel?
We are called to be ambassadors of the Gospel of Christ to the culture by using the culture to illustrate it as Paul did to the Gentiles but we should not let the culture shape God's Gospel or our theology. The worldviews and philosophies within a culture often shape us without us knowing it. God gives Adam and Eve a clear story, yet they chose to believe in another “Has God said…?†(Genesis 3:1). It is this restructuring toward our own desire to be god that shapes the gospel we preach.

Raising G-rated Kids in an X-rated World
Because of the culture we're in, raising kids in today's world is not easy. But there is help found in God's word for parents. First, be an example and instill belief and values in them. Second, be there to teach them. Make spending time with your family a priority. Third, love them not just with words, but your actions. Love includes providing discipline and boundaries.
