Samuel: Legacy of Integrity

This Sunday we start a new study based out of 1 Samuel, examining the “last words” of key characters in the book. We start with Samuel, the last judge and the first major prophet. Samuel led through a time of moral chaos and helped transform Israel from a loosely knit group of tribes to a united nation. His last words come in the form of a question, “Have I ever cheated any of you?”

Now Choose

We have come to the end of the Sermon on the Mount! And if he began his message with tenderness, he ends with urgency.  How we respond to him and his teaching, says Jesus, will be the most important decision we ever make, and you must make a decision!  Jesus knows that life forces you to choose, and no decision is a choice.  You must decide what path you will take.  You must decide what voice you will listen to.  You must decide what foundation you will build your life on.

Keep On...

When we’ve grown impatient with the waiting, lost our stamina for persistence, what keeps us praying? What is Jesus’ response to those of us who find ourselves asking without receiving an answer, seeking without finding, knocking without being welcomed in? How does Jesus respond to the real, deep questions of those praying faithfully, waiting patiently, and beginning to grow weary? Come and find out, cya Sunday!

Some Wisdom Required

Dogs, pearls, pigs, oh my! Jesus finishes off his teaching on judging with a riddle that is both confusing and uncomfortable, but holds an important truth for the times we feel we need to address a speck in our neighbour's eye. Let's press in together.

There's Something in my Eye!

To judge or not to judge, that is the question...no seriously, that really is a question we face! If we are to truly love one another, we can’t just wash our hands and say, “It’s not my place to judge”, because it is our place to help. So how do we develop a non-judgmental way to care enough to confront and correct? This Sunday, we tackle one of the most famous and misunderstood statements of Jesus, “Do not judge others.”
