The final stage of life can be marked by a sense of hopelessness or uselessness. Pastor Jon uses the example of Caleb's long-lived faithfulness and generosity to encourage the older members of the church to keep reaching forward and growing their hope in Jesus.

We've all volunteered for something at some point because we felt we had to. Pastor Jon takes the time to really examine the difference between volunteering and serving with the heart of a disciple.

Most Christians are comfortable with the idea that we will receive the gift of freedom from sin in an eternal afterlife. What we struggle with more is the idea that God has given us the Holy Spirit in this life, and that the Spirit lives in us right now, and grants us power that we don't have on our own. Pastor Jon digs into Romans 8 and expounds on the liberation from a dark, desperate life that is only possible with the power of the Holy Spirit.

We all make bad choices, even when we are trying our best to make good ones. Why? Because we can't escape the worst bits of ourselves without outside help. Pastor Jon dives in and explains what role the law plays in exposing our sins, and how our love for Jesus leads us to the place where we find our very desires change so that we can, with His help, do what we are called to do, no matter the struggle. 

Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication: January 15, 2023

We like to think of ourselves as strong, independent people, in control of our own destinies. We don't like to admit that everything we do either submits to the mastery of sin or in obedience to our loving saviour, Jesus. Pastor Jon wades into the idea of spiritual slavery, and discusses how we are all committed to a master but only one master offers rest and resurrection -- Jesus.

Join us as we celebrate on the eve of Christmas -- when we remember the Light of the World coming down to make the crooked things straight, the dark places light, and offer the joy and consolation we need all year long.

Kids are great at knowing how to be excited about what's coming next. Eager anticipation -- if not patience -- is usually pretty easy for them. Pastor Jon takes a look at Simeon and Anna as they waited for the long-promised Messiah. He uses them as our examples to keep going as we wait for our return to our true home with Jesus Christ.

We've all become so accustomed to the Christmas songs that play over and over in shops, in movies, on the radio -- pretty much everywhere during the Christmas season. This week, Pastor Jon takes a close look at the Christmas hymn "Joy to the World" and how it illuminates what scripture has to say about the joy of Advent.

Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication: December 11, 2022

The Christmas story can feel so incredible that we can forget it isn't just a fairy tale - it actually came true! It is the most wonderful reality that Jesus was delivered to us, and that He alone can free us from our sins. Pastor Jon spends this second week of Advent looking at the prophecies around Jesus's birth and how waiting can be a gift in itself.
