We live in the now and not yet reality of the Kingdom of God. It has come near and isbreaking into the world, but it is also not yet fully realized. In this next part of theBeatitudes, Jesus says Blessed are those who mourn. We mourn when we encounterthe gap between the Kingdom of God and our lives. As we do, we experience the heartof Jesus, encoun…

In the Beatitudes, Jesus unpacks a style of living that he calls blessed. Although we might struggle to see how this is the case, it is the poor in spirit, those who understand their need for God, who experience His transforming power in their lives.By North Langley Community Church

As we walk through the darkest valleys we have the chance to experience the nearness and love of God. Psalm 23 is a beautiful reminder of the Shepherd who cares for His sheep in the wilderness and protects them from the enemy.By Matthew Price

On this family Sunday, we read through Psalm 100.By Janet Thiessen

We all hope in something. The Psalmist fixes his gaze, not on the circumstances around him, but on God himself. What does this look like in the season we are in? And can we really rest assured that God is trustworthy to place our hope in?By Jeff Renaud

Psalm 51 is Davids Psalm of repentance after committing horrible sin in 2 Samuel 11 12. Repentance is a season in our faith journey we often want to skip, but true transformation comes from true repentance.By Kevin Schultz

The Psalmist sees the wicked and self-serving having dramatic success in their lives and feels a sense of injustice. He asks the question, "Is God actually good?" As we look at this Psalm we too have had times with similar feelings, and can learn from the journey he takes in his time of processing.By Dane Smith

Psalm 1 serves as an introduction to the book of Psalms. In this psalm, we learn about the way of wisdom and what it means to be planted like a tree by streams of living water. We discover the delight of meditating on Gods law in every season of our soul.By Ben Frederiksen

God has gifted us the Sabbath, one day each week without work, and yet it doesn't always feel like a gift. We might sense the weight of obligation, wonder at the relevance of an outdated idea, or simply fear it to be a killjoy, but Sabbath slows us down to the speed of the God who creates, delivers, and provides.…

Noah Fensome joined us all the way from Amsterdam to finish our Luke series talking about Jesus' call for his followers to take the life-changing message of the Gospel into every corner of the world.By North Langley Community Church

The simple fact of the matter is that for every person who encounters Christ dramatically with blinding lights and a booming voice, hundreds more meet him slowly and quietly, incognito on the Emmaus road, through friendship, Scripture, and conversation."-Pete GreigBy Dan Warkentin

We all have moments where we feel as though a fog has settled in our minds and our hearts. Today we will take a look at 2 disciples who had this same feeling in their own lives, and the things they did to allow Jesus to walk with them through the fog, and bring them to a place of hope, joy, and passion.…

Even when were walking on the road of addictions, anxiety, illness, hurts, self-hatred, guilt, and shame, that looks too strong, that looks impossible for us to turn around from that road, even when we feel like nothing can be changed in our lives, what still gives us hope is Jesus.By Eric Shin

Does the resurrection of Jesus from the dead 2000 years ago really matter?" Believing in the resurrection is one thing, but do we know what it means? Christs death and resurrection are central to the gospel because God raised Christ from the dead so that we can be forgiven, changed by his power and face eternity with hope.…

Jesus journey to Jerusalem (Luke 9-19) culminates here with his Triumphal Entry into the holy city. In his royal procession, Jesus rides into the city on a borrowed donkey, symbolizing his meekness and humility. The disciples sing Gods praise while the religious leaders feel threatened. Jesus is the humble servant king who alone brings true peace t…

There are situations or seasons where we feel hard-pressed. Where we know that life has not gone the way we have wanted it to. Where we wish for a different way for it to go. And in these times we truly wonder where to turn. Part of the beauty of the Bible is that it is brutally honest and vulnerable. As we get closer to Easter, we find that Jesus …

As we practice this new covenant meal, may it stir within us hope for hisreturn and thankfulness for who he is and what he has done.By Kevin Schultz

Facing opposition in the form of the temptation of selfish ambition, the dangers of Satan's aggression, and the challenge of worldly antagonism, followers of Jesus can trust in Jesus as our Servant King, our Advocate, and our Saviour.By Tim McCarthy

Jesus tells his followers that the temple in Jerusalem will be destroyed. He lovingly prepares them to face that horrific moment in history. As we see the destruction of the temple- we see the new house, the new building, the new temple that God was building.

Jesus celebrates the actions of a poor widow as she gives 2 copper coins to God. Jesus is calling each of us to practice a sacrificial generosity that sets our hearts free!By Matthew Price

Jesus tells some men who are trying to trap Him that they are to "give back to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's'. So in this sermon, we are asking the question: 'How do we spend, save, and give in a way where we fully give God what is God's?By Matthew Price

Ron Davis reminds us that every day we get a myriad of messages about money: from financial professionals to commercial advertisers to Facebook friends. But what does God have to say about money? It just may surprise us how much the Bible has to say about money. One such passage is the parable we are looking at today from Luke 19.…

Our journey of apprenticeship to Jesus begins as we open up our hands and surrender our money to Jesus our King. Freedom, generosity, and joy are experienced as we surrender every penny we have to Jesus who invites us into His fullness of life.By Matthew Price

Jesus' question toward the blind beggar--"What do you want me to do for you?"--reflects the core message of the gospel. That is, the good news is about who God is--that He is the One who is delighted in working for us in His mercies and power. It, however, is easy for us to fall into the temptation of Religion that makes us work for God for whateve…

In this passage, Jesus turns our understanding of the world upside down. The people who get to Heaven are not the smartest, the most spiritual, or those who avoid doing really bad things. Rather, it is those of us who acknowledge our desperate need for Him. Jesus responds to our deep need with mercy, grace, and an invitation to the Kingdom of Heave…

Bethlehem is a word that means 'house of bread'. From this house of bread comes a child who will feed a word starving for hope, love, forgiveness, purpose, and meaning.

The cross of Christ has everything to do with the birth of Christ because light has come in the flesh. Light has walked on this world. And the Light, Jesus, the Word – offers us peace today.By Jeff Renaud

Do we have hope that Jesus can make all things new? John, the disciple of Jesus, tells us that Jesus is the Logos (Word). He was the one through whom all creation was formed, he is the logic at the center of the universe- and He is God. He has all power to give us hope. He has all power to speak into the darkness of our life- 'let there be light'.…

One of the enemys greatest tactics is to isolate us and to cut us off from others. But when we were baptized we died to a life of individualism and we were born again into a family of faith. And the church, in its life together, is the epicenter of the victory of Jesus over the darkness. It's together that we fight the schemes of the enemy and expe…

In light of recent attacks between Israel and Hamas Cory and Matthew explore how the word Israel is used in the Bible. They chat about how Jesus recapitulates the story of Israel, and they chat about the words Kingdom, Vine, and Temple to explore who Israel is today.

We are set free and delivered from darkness by Jesus- and that deliverance is not just a deliverance from darkness but a deliverance to God. It is not enough to be set free- we are called to be filled. True freedom is to be filled with the Holy Spirit.By Matthew Price

In our world, we see the constant cycle of evil giving rise to more evil. Jesus and the writers of the New Testament claim that the only way to end them is by doing good in response. As the enemy seeks to produce evil in the world, this is Jesus weapon against the evil schemes of the enemy: do good.By Janet Thiessen

In this episode, we dive into the Biblical idea of the Divine Council. We chat about God's heavenly staff team, angels, demons, Mexico's Day of the Dead, and Cory critiques Matthew's deep dislike of Halloween.

The kids join us for this sermon as we dive into the truth that God is bigger and God is stronger! On this Sunday we learn that I am safe in the Fathers love" and that I am protected by the Armour of God.By Matthew Price

In his testing by the devil, Jesus teaches us how to face temptation, and becomes our gracious helper when we face temptation.By Tim McCarthy

We are not unaware of the schemes of the enemy. He uses temptation, deceit, accusation to lead us to death. As we explore Genesis 3 we see how the enemy wants to keep us chained, and we take great hope in Jesus- the One who has come to free us from all accusation through His finished work on the cross.…

In this episode Cory and Matthew discuss the new series on spiritual warfare and the victory of Jesus over the darkness. They also chat about a snakes head getting chopped off, what they did over the summer, the new music Cory is writing and recording, reading Flannery O'Connor, and they argue about how to pronounce the last name "Southam".…

We begin a new series on Jesus' victory over all dark powers and over the evil one. The world, the flesh, and the devil are actively moving against Jesus and His good purposes for the world. We look to the cross and see Christ's victory over the darkness (Christus Victor) and we take hope that 'The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the …

Our friends who are new to Jesus need to see the good news changing us. They need to see the good news shaping us & forming us & reordering our loves. So what we need, as Thomas Chalmers put it, is 'the expulsive power of a new affection'. Like Zacchaeus, we need to be evangelized! When this happens in us then we are sharing with our friends someth…
