You may have heard lately of many people "deconstructing" their faith. There are probably things we SHOULD deconstruct ... baggage from our childhood; "sacred cows" and church cultural remnants that should be dispensed with. Here&#039;s the problem; Most of the people I know who are "deconstructing" are not RE-constructing. Join us for a series that wrestles with the questions of skeptics, but will challenge us to re-build a faith on the foundation of a God who is good and is pursuing you with His love. I guarantee either you or someone you love is going through this right now (or who perhaps never identified as a Christian and may benefit from joining in on this conversation). This might be the podcast series to send to the skeptic; the "back-slider"; the "de-churched"; the "ex-vangelical"; the agnostic... and see if there is an openness to reconstructing their faith.

Introducing... "Losing My Religion"

In today&#039;s service we would like to add just one more step to our COMEBACK series, as a way to re-cap, re-affirm, and even ask God to "seal" what He has revealed to us in these days. This is a different kind of service that asks you to not spectate but actively participate. You can participate easily via this podcast as well. Trusting this will be a meaningful, even freeing congregational experience.

The Comback (part VI): A Congregational Response

STOP SELF ISOLATING Obviously, there are good and important reasons for "Self-isolating" in the midst of a global pandemic. What is becoming spiritually and relationally evident though is that our non-medical self-isolating is having a deleterious effect on our souls. Could it be that is because God has created us for community? Could it be because no matter how cliched it may sound, we truly are "better together"? Does life change and spiritual growth really happen better in smaller communities? NAC, it&#039;s time for a comeback If you’re new-ish to our community we’d love to welcome you personally.

The Comeback (part V) "Stop Self-Isolating"

In the early days of this pandemic, we were desperate for information and updates. There was confusion and conflicting messages. Trustworthy and reliable news was at a premium. It wasn&#039;t too long before we weren&#039;t sure which "voices" we could trust. COVID didn&#039;t start this phenomenon but it sure seemed to accelerate it. More than at any point in human history is the need for a true, transcendent and loving voice to break through all the static and noise. The good news is that it&#039;s available to you! NAC, it&#039;s time for a comeback. If you’re new-ish to our community we’d love to welcome you personally.

The Comeback (part 4 ) "SuperSpreaders"

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 In the early days of this pandemic especially, there was a self-preservation instinct that kicked in for many of us. Perhaps this was best illustrated by the panicked toilet paper buying. Even if you haven&#039;t wrestled for hand sanitizer in Walmart or built a fallout shelter in your backyard, there is a real temptation to have a "selfish" attitude when Jesus asks us to have a "selfLESS" mindset... literally the attitude of a servant. Counterintuitively though, that servant attitude may be the key to your renewed joy, fulfillment and purpose. NAC, it&#039;s time for a comeback.

The Comeback (part 3) "Stop Hoarding"

No, not the cloth or polymer mask you&#039;ve been wearing in public for the last 18 months. Please keep those on a little bit longer. I&#039;m talking about a deeper kind of inauthentic spiritual mask that we&#039;ve been more susceptible to in this season. Church, it&#039;s time for a comeback.

The Comeback (part 2) "Take Off Your Mask!"

"Stop Social Distancing" In this kick-off to a new series, we&#039;ll look at 5 Biblical Keys to putting the last 18 months behind us. The titles are a little cheeky... Stopping social distancing has nothing to do with keeping 6 feet apart or other wise protocols. There&#039;s another kind of social distancing going on that&#039;s been deeply destructive. We&#039;ve ended up on tribes and teams and sides of a culture war when Jesus said we ought to be known for our unity and our love. Turns out though this isn&#039;t the first time there have been secondary issues that people have turned into relational deal-breakers. See what scripture has to say about it.

The comeback (part 1) Sermon Audio

At NAC&#039;s outdoor service in the amphitheater at Fairy Lake in Newmarket, ON we close out our "Cabin Fever" series with the story of the friends and disciples of Jesus who had just witnessed their mentor and teacher... their hope... be murdered and laid in a dark, locked, little room called a "tomb". Now they found themselves in a locked little room themselves, afraid and confused and hopeless. But in a few moments someone is literally going to just appear before them that will change EVERYTHING. Some of you today are in an emotional or spiritual dark, locked, little room. Things seem hopeless. Jesus&#039;s invitation is for you to come out of darkness and into His glorious light. ** Note: This service was recorded at an outdoor venue. You may notice wind sounds and other audio disctractions **

Cabin Fever: Dark, locked, little rooms

Talk about "Cabin Fever" 40 days without food. Alone in the desert. Vulnerable. Tempted by Satan. What can we learn about overcoming temptation from our most perfect role model? Do you secretly think that Jesus overcoming temptation isn&#039;t really much of a big deal, because He got to play the "God card"? Join us for some really practical wisdom on an issue that affects EVERYBODY (and Jesus Himself had to overcome)

Cabin Fever: TEMPTATION

Talk about "Cabin Fever" Widowed. Childless. Poor and in the midst of a famine. A stranger in a strange land. Listen to this riveting take on the story of Ruth & Naomi as told by our very own Michelle Quach

August 15th - Sermon Podcast

Today’s service was presented in a different kind of format. As Jonathan delves into the “Cabin Fever” that the prophet Elijah experienced, he separates it into 3 sections followed by an opportunity to respond in song (which for copyright reasons we won’t be including in this podcast, but feel free to seek out these songs) Something is being formed in Elijah as he goes through seasons of extreme isolation, extreme dependence and extreme obedience. Songs from today include: “Here” (elevation worship) “Sparrows” (Bethel music) “So will I - 100 billion x (hillsong music) “Egypt” (Bethel music)
