Here is part one of the teaching from our last Deeper Life event. It lays out the basic background of what Israel understood the kingdom of God to be about. It was into this understanding that Jesus came announcing the kingdom of God at hand.

What is here is "dense" stuff... but I urge you to persevere. Like learning a new language it will begin to make sense to you. Persist and you will be greatly rewarded.

Please note that with each of these teachings the slides are attached.

Much of this teaching is heavily informed by two sources:

Here is part one of the teaching from our 2nd night of the Deeper Life event. It recaps the first night and then begins to expose what Jesus was up to in the healings. Could it be that even these were part of his announcement that the Kingdom of God was at hand? If so, what did they reveal of the kingdom?

Here is part two of the teaching from our 2nd night of the Deeper Life event. In this teaching Mark explores the exorcisms of Jesus. Again, could it be that even these were part of his announcement that the Kingdom of God was at hand? If so, what did they reveal of the kingdom?

Here we are looking at the Kingdom of God in light of Christmas. What was Christmas really all about? Why did Jesus really come? What did Israel expect as he came? And, why was he to be called the Prince of Peace?

While away on Summer Holidays, Jolie and Andy had some significant things occur that they wanted to share about. The hope of this is to encourage the churches about how God is using them across Canada, and also to encourage them about being missionaries in their own city.

This is the teaching from day three of our Fall 2008 DeeperLife. The focus of these teachings is on Pentecost (the day the Holy Spirit came in Acts 2) and its connection to the Kingdom of God.

In the summer time, we began our focus on Pentecost through a series of podcasts. This is part II of that focus, looking at the topic from another angle.

In this teaching, we explore what our responsibility is in the work of the harvest.

Sorry for all of you that couldn't make it - but we had an amazing retreat! The people were great, the food was great, the setting was great, and... the speaker was great.

Mary-Lee who is planting house/simple churches in YaleTown did a fantastic job bringing some great stuff about having "Missionary Spirits".

What does it mean to view our city through the lenses of a missionary?
