Two Spiritual Realities | Pastor David McCowan

As we conclude our Unshakeable: A Faith That Won’t Fold series, Daniel 12 brings us face to face with two spiritual realities: the certainty of God's victory and the reality that every person will ultimately stand before Him.This final chapter of Daniel contains some of the Bible's most debated prophetic passages, but its central message is clear: God remains in control.

A Whole Bodied Faith - An Invitation to Radical Hospitality and Stewardship | Pastor Jennifer Deardorff

This week, Pastor Jennifer Deardorff invites us to explore what it means to live with a whole-bodied faith—loving God with our heart, soul, strength, and everything entrusted to us. Drawing from both the Old and New Testament, we see that biblical stewardship is about far more than finances. It is a way of life shaped by devotion to God and expressed through generosity, hospitality, and care for others.Jennifer's message shows us how Jesus challenges us to see our resources, homes, time, and influence as gifts to be used for God’s purpose. The early church modeled this kind of faith by sharing generously, enacting justice when necessary, and caring for those in need.

The Battle belongs to The Lord, BUT We Have a Role | Pastor David McCowan

In this message from Daniel 9–11, we explore prophecy, spiritual warfare, and the reminder that God remains sovereign even in chaotic and uncertain times. Daniel is given wild visions with various scholarly interpretations.However we interpret these passages, they nevertheless point toward God’s larger plan of redemption through the Anointed One as well as the reality of spiritual opposition and the call for God’s people to remain faithful. From Daniel’s prayer and fasting to the unfolding prophetic visions, we are reminded that prayer matters, faithfulness matters, and God is still at work even when we cannot fully see what He is doing.

Stand in the Gap | Pastor Charlotte Joos

In Daniel 9, we find Daniel praying for a broken nation, confessing sin, and standing before God on behalf of others. Instead of responding to the world around him with outrage or self righteousness, Daniel responds with repentance, humility, and intercession.This message explores what it means to “stand in the gap” in a culture pulling people away from God. Daniel also recognizes that the deeper issue is not just political unrest, but spiritual despondency. However, Daniel continues to trust God’s character, appeals to His mercy, and points us toward the greater hope of redemption through Jesus.Daniel 9 reminds us that God’s plan is bigger than our immediate circumstances. Even in exile, confusion, and failure, God is still working tirelessly towards our redemption.
