Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus

Remembrance Day is a day as Canadians we stop and reflect on the incredible price that was paid for the freedom and peace we enjoy. May we never take for granted the wonderful land we are privileged to call Remembrance Day is a day as Canadians we stop and reflect on the incredible price that was paid for the freedom and peace we enjoy. May we never take for granted the wonderful land we are privileged to call home.
A few years ago I stood on the steps of our church and looked across the street at a landmark high rise building where a group of protestors shouted, ”no justice, no peace”.

The Holy Spirit – Your Master Rebuilder

Pastors Blog / By Pastor Karen Kepkay

We are all in the work-in-progress and constant growth process of our soul. Don’t get discouraged in the rebuilding of your real you and lean into the Holy Spirit for everything that you need. He is sent to you as the helper and comforter, and help in times of need. He will give you fullness and freedom as you allow Him to guide in you into all wisdom. Like Nehemiah, the Holy Spirit is saying… “Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem[YOUR SOUL] , and we will no longer be in disgrace.”

What Were You Thinking? The Power of The Mind

Pastors Blog / By Pastor Fari Maghami

As Christians, we are called to think and meditate on God’s Word so that our thoughts align with His revealed will and way of thinking. The Bible and the Holy Spirit serve as our mental and spiritual guides and safeguards, helping us take every thought captive and expel damaging, sinful, and God-demeaning thoughts and behaviors (2 Corinthians 10:5). However, this is something we must pursue intentionally and actively. The Spirit enables us, but we must willingly obey God in the process of renewing our minds.

Imagine this. You’re at the Vancouver International Airport during the busy travel season. All around you are people rushing this way and that as they head to their gates and connecting flights.

Jesus Will Give You Another Chance

Pastors Blog / By Jacqui Bishop

Have you ever been given a second chance? What a gift! A second chance could be as simple as an eraser at the end of your pencil, or it could be as complex as restoration within a broken relationship. I can think of many opportunities that the grace of a second chance has been offered to me, even some when I didn’t really deserve it. There’s a clear and present question that’s as human as the reality that we all make mistakes: how many chances do I get? How many chances do I have to give? Thankfully, Peter asked Jesus this exact question.

Embracing the Stranger: Hospitality in the Bible

Pastors Blog / By Pastor Fari Maghami

Hospitality is more than just a kind gesture—it’s a command and a reflection of God’s love for us. As God in Christ opened His arms and heart wide on the cross, giving us access to Himself and His home in heaven, we too should open our hearts and homes to others. By doing so, we not only fulfill a biblical command but also create spaces where God’s grace can flow freely through us. Let’s be intentional in our hospitality, knowing that through it, we might just be entertaining angels (Hebrews 13:2).

Can we learn how to be better leaders by implying ancient wisdom? The Book of Acts provides a detailed account of Apostle Paul’s leadership journey.

Let’s dive into a few chapters from the book of Acts and draw out some pointers on how Paul modelled leadership.
