"The cross has significance because of the stone.” On this Easter Sunday, Pastor Levi Marychurch highlights the tension between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, that before the stone was rolled away Jesus’ death didn’t seem like good news. It is only because of the resurrection that we celebrate the cross and see it as a symbol of the best possible news. Levi explores Jesus’ victory over death through the resurrection and illustrates the ways that stone and wood have been, and continue to be, sources of life for those who love Him.

During this time of trial, Pastor Levi Marychurch encourages us to shift our focus to God by dwelling on His benefits – his love, goodness, and presence with us. 

Levi reminds us of all that we have through Christ, and that He is the source of all that we need.  With God, despite that despite social distancing and uncertainty, we are never alone. We are forgiven, chosen friends of the Almighty. Together, let's focus on God’s benefits and tap into the abundant joy and eternal hope accessible to us through Him.

Do you need peace in your current situation? Amid a global pandemic, Pastor Levi Marychurch shares a timely message about Jesus - our "Prince of Peace". He explains how we can have peace with God, and have access to the peace of God that surpasses all understanding and guards our hearts and minds. Pastor Levi reminds us that we can rest confidently in the fact that Jesus has peace in abundance and freely gives it to all people.

This week Jadyn Duff presents a message entitled, "Why do Good?" Sharing from Ephesians 2:4-10, Jadyn explores the benefits of doing good personally, spiritually and within our community. Drawing from various biblical references and humorous personal stories, he explains how kindness makes a difference, it multiplies and glories God. We are encouraged to show kindness more often, living as a representative of God and sharing His love through our actions. 

This week Nadia Marychurch continues her message, "Live as Warriors, or Die as Wanderers," focusing on the next generation of Israelites that made it into the Promised Land. Nadia explores the difference between the generation of wanderers and the generation of warriors with the help of guest speaker, Levi Marychurch. We discover that the next generation saw the possibilities and were ready to fight for it, they made no excuses and they held God is such a place of honour that it impacted the way they lived. Levi and Nadia encourage us to follow that example of this generation who knew the importance of God and held to their faith above all else.

 

 

Where has wandering distracted you from walking into what God has in store for you? In this message, Pastor Nadia Marychurch challenges the way our culture reveres wandering by pinpointing the characteristics that the Israelites had which made them content to wander in the desert rather than eager to walk into their Promised Land. Through this vivid story, she emphasizes the need to bring intention into our daily walk with God and encourages us each to examine our own hearts and attitudes.

"When you change the recipe, you change the result”. Pastor Levi Marychurch shares “the recipe for revival” found in 2 Chronicles 7:14. He teaches that revival - to hear from heaven, be forgiven and have our land healed – can be achieved by humbling ourselves before God, seeking His face, and repenting. In this message, Levi guides us through each of these “ingredients”. He encourages us that the revival for which we long is within reach, and gives us the necessary tools to change our recipe

This week Luis Gonzalez gives an eye-opening sermon on the topic of sin and its link to purpose. By sharing personal anecdotes, Luis gives a realistic perspective on how mistakes can easily spiral out of control affecting our relationship with God, the people around us and even with our innermost-selves. Luis ties it all back by affirming that even in the midst of sin and human error, God can transform our smallest and biggest mistakes alike and use them as a platform for our own lives.

This week Levi Marychurch shares a message from Daniel 3:1-20 entitled, "It's not what you know, it's who you know." From this passage, Levi shares 3 lessons we can learn from the Hebrew boys. If you kneel before God; you can stand before anyone, your "yes" to God is only as good as your "no" to the world and influence will always outlast fame. Levi reminds us to refocus our eyes on God amongst the distractions that the world offers.
