About this TeachingA crisis identity insues. Who is Jesus? The crowds of Jerusalem want to know! Opening and closing music clips:  A thought about JesusSubmitted by Jolie on Tue, 2012-01-31 10:44. [ Blog ]Since our theme is again JESUS, I wanted to share this short line I read this morning. These are thoughts from Romans 8 in the Message mixed up with mine. "In Jesus we see the original and intended shape of our lives..." We do experience the limitations of sin, but more than that we experience life on God's terms. What value He has placed on our everyday living; on our inside hearts and our outside relationships/character. The highest value one can give something is a life, isn't it? We see that Jesus lived with power and kindness, courage and humility, obedience and freedom.  Maria from CloverdaleSubmitted by Teresa on Mon, 2012-01-16 23:50.

Our Vision is Jesus | January 2012 Thoughts...Submitted by andy on Fri, 2012-01-06 20:44. [ Blog ]
Our vision is Jesus. I’ve said this a number of times over the past year, but if there is one thing that I have learned since we started this church, it’s that we live in a city where not many share a similar sentiment. And sadly, I fear that those who claim to, if they were really honest, sense that their vision has gotten a little blurry. The Gospel of John | John 6.25-71 | Give Us More, Then We’ll Believe.

About this TeachingThe second part of John 6 the crowds seek more "signs" from Jesus before they'll believe. Jesus, though, has never been one to play by the crowds rules.

As with the previous two years, this year our December CityWide was another "CityWide for the City". In light of this, I again wanted to record a Christmas teaching for you to listen to at home. The first years topic was, "The Advent of Peace" and it can be found by Clicking here. Last years topic was, "The Advent of Hope" and it can be found by Clicking here. This year the topic is Joy. Enjoy Fort Langley Caroling nightSubmitted by Teresa on Sun, 2011-12-18 23:34. [ Blog ]Friends, Thanks so much for your prayers for our caroling night at our house. It was wonderful!  What's on your Christmas list?Submitted by Jonathan on Sun, 2011-12-11 21:36. [ Blog ]I came across a great little blog as I was preparing for today, the Advent Sunday of joy, and so I shared this with our church. Here are the opening lines: I agree that “it is more blessed to give than to receive.” But I also quite like to receive, don’t you? And other people who love me want to know what to get me, so I help them by composing a Christmas list. Plus it’s fun to finally just put right down there what I really, really want.  The Battle is RagingSubmitted by Joanna on Sat, 2011-12-10 15:15. [ Blog ]I was just listening to a song by Laura Hackett, called "I Put on Christ." I thought I should share it with you all. We've been speaking about the reality of the battle at hand. We are part of a great army. Let's not forget that we are at war constantly and must, therefore, put on Christ everyday. So here are the lyrics: For the battle is raging I don't fight as one beats the air Give Him Your Warmest Smile | December 2011 ThoughtsSubmitted by andy on Fri, 2011-12-09 11:55. [ Blog ]
 WWJD, The Archbishop & MacarthurSubmitted by Sig Toews on Thu, 2011-12-08 13:01. [ Blog ]Two unrelated items that jelled over night, and came up at breakfast for discussion at our house. The Archbishop of Canterbury commented on the WWJD sign that the "Wall Street protesters" are using as one of their slogans. The Archbishop says this question...What would JESUS do? can never be answered. Yet as I study my BIBLE, the LORD's prayer, the Beatitudes, loving your brother, going the 2nd mile, etc etc the list is long and explains the LORD's desire to each one of us..( Micah 6: 7 ) to do justly, to love mercy, and walk humbly with HIM. Not complex! Why is the bk of Job so important to you?Submitted by Sig Toews on Sun, 2011-11-13 12:04. [ Blog ]The Book of Job is a "Love story" between "OUR CREATOR : THE POTTER and a piece of clay. When THE POTTER is approached by the enemy, this LOVE is rubbed into the enemy's nose. THE POTTER reminds the enemy that the piece of clay LOVES THE POTTER and shuns the enemy at all cost. Kingdom Entrepreneurs | November 2011 Thoughts...Submitted by andy on Mon, 2011-11-07 14:50. [ Blog ]I just arrived home from two days away in Whistler. 15 guys from around the province joined together for two days of prayer and camaraderie. All of us were church planters. Six were bi-vocational (meaning that church planting was just part of how they filled their weeks); two were from the downtown eastside; one was from a plant in northern BC, devoted to the first nations people in the area; and another was spanish speaking, reaching out to the Latino immigrants now living in Surrey.

For anyone who is interested, here is the address: love you all! Being thankful daily not just at ThanksgivingSubmitted by Sig Toews on Sat, 2011-10-08 13:17. [ Blog ]My neighbour stopped by yesterday, and of course the first question in traditional english is :How are you? I was caught by surprise, but she is right. Thankfulness before GOD, is worship. When we start our day with a thankful heart, GOD is well pleased. 2 Thessalonians 5: 18: In everything give thanks for this is the "will of GOD in CHRIST JESUS " for you! |
