Passage: 2 Corinthians 4:1-6. Today, Pastor Jon opens up about his own recent struggles in what he terms &apos;losing heart&apos;. Maybe it isn&apos;t just him. Maybe many of us feel the weight of the last year and a half with a kind of worn-out exhaustion. With his trademark honesty, Pastor Jon invites us to journey together to find our why again.

2C: Don't Lose Heart

Passage: Hebrews 12:28-29. Yes, it&apos;s Thanksgiving. But that doesn&apos;t make you grateful. Sometimes we need to hear a reason again. A good reason for why we choose gratitude. Some reasons are here and now, and some are still to come. Those kind are unshakeable. 

Reason Number 25

Passage: Mark 4:35-41. Fear is a big deal right now. Everyone&apos;s dealing with it on some level. And Jesus asks His followers: Why are you so afraid? It&apos;s an important question. Especially if it feels like we&apos;re following God and we still end up in the storm. Maybe you need to realize, like they did, that Jesus is right here with you. 

Why Are You So Afraid?

Passage: Ephesians 4:11-16. Lots of division right now. Lots of people at odds. So what is Church supposed to be about. We believe and value a journey toward maturity together that happens only because of Jesus. 

The Relational Journey

Passage: 1 Peter 2: 9-10. What if there was a message so incredible that it changed everything? For you. For others. For our church. This is what we believe. We are ambassadors of an appeal unlike anything you&apos;ve ever heard. 

The Redemptive News

Passage: Psalm 42. There&apos;s a lot to get us down. If you&apos;re human, this happens. We get down. But we were made to pursue and find God. So how do we live in this world? How do we quench our thirst for meaning? What do we do with the heaviness? Psalmists can relate. 

Ps42 Why Are You Downcast?

Passage: Psalm 62. Vaccine passports. Feeling afraid, yet? Or maybe you&apos;re afraid of the pandemic? Either way, this message is for you. A rock. A refuge. A resting place. This is what we need. This is what He is. 

Ps62 Find Your Rest

Passage: Psalm 145. What makes us praise or worship? What changes our perspective? Seeing Him. Guest preacher David Hildebrandt encourages us to encounter this Jesus whose Kingdom we participate in.  His grace and love draws us to praise! 

Ps145 A Kingdom of Praise

Passage: Psalm 72 (ESV). What kind of King is Jesus? How does He measure up to our hopes and dreams for a king and leader? Even in a David song, we hear the prophetic echoes of the true anointed King to come. 

Ps72 This Kind of King

Passage: Psalm 84. We are reminded of our deep human longing for connection with the Living God. The Psalmist brings us back to the journey of pilgrimage where the journey is worship. If only we could believe, deep down, that He is better! 

Ps84 He Is Better

Passage: Psalm 25. Do you trust me? It&apos;s what someone says right before they do something crazy or you are required to put your confidence in them. But should you? Our Psalmist David declares his trust in Yahweh and follows it up with a Psalm that all humans can connect with. 

Ps25 A Prayer of Trust

Passage: Psalm 139. Asking God to search you seems scary if you don&apos;t know Him. But the invitation is to know Him. To be searched and known by a good God who loves you. Jubilee Elder Brian unpacks, with humour and honesty, what it means to trust our good God. 

Ps139 Searched by a Good God

Passage: John 17:1-5. It&apos;s father&apos;s day and Jesus is praying to His Father. So it fits. He&apos;s asking for glory and explaining eternal life. What a prayer! This heavenly Father is knowable, in fact, this is what eternity is all about! 

Last Things: Know Your Father

Passage: John 16:16-33. Now Jesus is speaking clearly... so why is it still hard to understand? Does he mean now, or then, or now and then? Ben with trademark honesty, unpacks Jesus final encouragement. Our hope is in a joy for now, and a joy to come. 

Last Things: Grief to Joy

Passage: John 16:1-15. Weird that Jesus needs to leave. Why not stay? Why not start the Kingdom with a king here? Someone we can see. And what&apos;s all this about leaving being better? Jesus explain. Or someone explain...
