"Looking at Church: A Fresh Perspective"

This week we begin a new sermon series at our Sunday worship services: "Looking at Church: A Fresh Perspective". 

Throughout history there have been times when the Church of Jesus Christ has moved boldly forward, doing the will of God in dynamic and courageous ways.  There have been other times when the Church has been  so influenced by culture that it has not fully carried out the will of the Lord in reaching God's lost people for Jesus, times when it has become complacent and satisfied with going through the motions of "church". 

In this series we will examine some of the ways that Christians are making a real difference in the lives of people today - people who need the message that they are loved by a God who has given His all for them. We encourage you to join us as we explore what God has planned for us as a community of Christ.

The sermon outline and Scripture Readings can be found on the Worship page of this website. The number to text if you have questions, suggestions or comments on how we can better be the church is 604-799-4793

This Week's Bible Readings

1 John 4:7-12; Luke 24:44-53

Ascension Day

The account of the Ascension of Jesus comes from two biblical writers, St. Mark and St. Luke.  In the last verses of Mark's Gospel it is recorded simply that ". . . the Lord Jesus, after He had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God." (Mark 16:19). Only St. Luke records details of the departure of Jesus from the earth and he does that both at the conclusion of his Gospel and at the beginning of the Book of Acts. The final earthly activity of our Lord was that of blessing His faithful followers. In many ways, our Lord continues to bless His people still today---this is the source of our celebration as we recall His ascension in our worship life this week..
