  • Unprepared Guests - Scott Wall
    Oct 28 2024

    Jesus taught primarily in parables. Short pithy stories that surprise us with Jesus' unique perspective on life. These parables centre around three main concepts. Kingdom, Grace and, wait for it... Judgment. Over the last few years we have developed series to focus on the stories of kingdom, and of grace, and in this series we intend to face into the hardest parables, those that give us Jesus' unique perspective on judgment. And maybe, like Jesus, we can come to believe that even this, is for our good. And as we immerse ourselves in Jesus' narrative world-we hope to be transformed by the experience of gracious judgment.

  • Cultivating God's Vineyard - Jeremy Duncan
    Oct 20 2024

    In this sermon, we begin our new series on the parables of judgment—one of the most challenging and misunderstood aspects of Jesus’ teachings. Judgment often sounds intimidating, but what if it’s not about condemnation or punishment? What if it’s God’s loving correction, guiding us back when we’ve strayed off the path?

    Join us as we explore:

    • How Jesus reframes judgment as an act of love and guidance, not punishment
    • The true meaning behind Jesus’ parables of judgment, like the parable of the vineyard
    • Why God’s judgment is for us, not against us, and how it helps us find life, not destruction
    • The deeper purpose of God’s correction in our journey toward grace

    🔑 Key Takeaways:

    • Judgment is not about fear; it’s God’s loving invitation to live differently.
    • God’s judgment clears away the obstacles that keep us from experiencing His grace.
    • Jesus offers a new understanding of judgment—one that leads us to life, not ruin.

    🌿 If you’ve ever struggled with the idea of God’s judgment, this message offers a fresh perspective full of hope, love, and grace.

  • Replace Tithing with Generosity - Jeremy Duncan
    Oct 14 2024

    In this week’s sermon, we tackle one of the most challenging aspects of faith: our relationship with wealth. Is generosity an obligation, or can it be a deeper, more fulfilling part of our spiritual journey? We explore how wealth has often corrupted religious spaces, leading to misconceptions like the 10% tithe, and we break down what the Bible really says about giving.

    Join us as we:

    • Debunk the cultural myth of the tithe.
    • Explore Jesus’ teaching on generosity in the Sermon on the Mount.
    • Unpack René Girard’s theory of mimetic desire and how it shapes our modern relationship with wealth.
    • Discover how a “good eye” can lead us to a life of meaningful, intentional generosity that reflects the heart of God.

    🔑 Key Takeaways:

    • Generosity isn’t about obligation; it’s about becoming the person you want to be.
    • Jesus calls us to invest in things that have lasting value, not just material wealth.
    • Faith and wealth are connected, and a healthy relationship with both can illuminate our path forward.

    If you’re ready to rethink how faith and wealth intersect in your life, this message is for you.
