LOST: Part 1
God desires to have a relationship with us, but we must first admit that we are lost without Him. Paul starts off the Book of Romans by painting a realitic picture of the lost state of mankind.

The Ecclesia
The "church" is coming under a lot of fire in the west. We're living at the transition point from a Christian world-view that predominated society, to a church that is standing at the margins of culture. Many voices are critical of the church (and often they are right) ... and what it most disconcerting is that many of these voices are coming from "within" the church herself. Yet Jesus promised that He would build the church! But what is the church all about? We need to grapple with these questions, and that's what this new series is all about.

The Armor Of God
In concluding this extraordinary letter, Paul sums up all of the power and blessings that come from the gospel in this extended metaphor of a Christian battling against the forces of evil and darkness in the world. He combines the image of a roman soldier with the Old Testament imagery of God himself coming to defend and fight for his own people. Christians are to wear this same armor so that they can resist the power of the devil and push back the darkness in our world today.

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

Our Family Album
Central to all human relationships is the foundation of mutual respect and honour. This "valuing" from one person to another may be seen no more clearly than in the relationship between the generations. When parents bless and honour their children, and when children in turn show reverence and respect toward, not only their parents, but ALL older people, it lays the foundation for a society where strong relationships are the norm. Rip respect and honour from the culture, and chaos and anarchy soon reign. Who would have thought that disobedience to parents could carry such far-reaching effects ... but as goes the family, so goes the culture... Key Passage: Leviticus 19:32

Show Me The Love
In Matthew chapter 5 Jesus touches upon a number of issues which speak to all of society today. Whether the issue be murder, adultery, divorce, taking oaths, revenge, or loving your enemies Jesus is wanting us to learn one truth: that it is the spirit of the law and not the law itself that matters most. Key Passage: Matthew 5.21-30

We Live in an Advanced Society?
Science and Religion don't need to be in conflict. At the same time, science shouldn't push our need for a relationship with a God who may not be able to be proven scientifically aside. The spiritual realm is still very alive and well in our society.
