Worth
What does God think about you? When he looks at you what goes through his mind? Is it possible to determine the value of a human life? How can you determine the value of the human life? When you were imagined and created outside of this dimension and placed within this dimension than nothing in this dimension can accurately place a value on you. In this talk Pastor Eric shares on the ambition of God and what he is after. Be ready to be challenged in your soul about your worth.For more info you can go to our website and also check us out on instagram and Facebook.

To choose or not to choose
Some things in life you never learn if you don't learn to persevere. There are things in life we may never learn if we don't learn to love. We all have the amazing opportunity in the face of a culture that leans towards division and separation to walk in humility to learn someone else's story and human experience. Pastor Candace walks us through the power of being in relationship and proximity to each other and how it provides an opportunity for each of us to choose each other. She gives practical biblical insights to create a new culture where redemption, healing and hope is the narrative and goal.For more info you can go to our website and also check us out on instagram and Facebook.

I know what I don't know
One thing we have learned in the world of writing good stories is they take time to write and create. The movies that move us are ones that took years to develop from an idea to the screen. Creating the future takes time, creativity and intentionality. In today's talk Pastor Eric brings our attention to one of the big hurdles we face in life and it is to be willing to look at our blind spots. He invites us to create the future with intention and in each of our lives there are moments where we move from "I don't know what I don't know" to "I know what I don't know". When this takes place we move into a space of seeing a future be filled with redemption, restoration and healing. Let's be a people of intention.

Cast your nets, again.
Life is a tug-o-war between human reasoning and the reasoning of God or perhaps the reasoning of "something else". For those that follow Jesus they are constantly navigating when does their reasoning begin or end and when are you acting in faith or no faith. Pastor Eric invites us to look into the scriptures and examine a few key moments between Peter and Jesus. You see the human part of Peter and then we see how Jesus introduces him to a dimension which can come only from a p[ace of trust and faith. It is here where faith leads you to stay curious, to be adventurous, to take risks and to cast your nets again. For more info you can go to our website.

The story isn't over yet
One of the most remarkable dynamics in the life of Jesus with his death on the cross and his resurrection, is it changes the entire reality and narrative of your life. Redemption, restoration and healing is now introduced to your story. In this talk, Pastor Candace shares from her own personal life and reminds all of us that our story isn't over yet. Whatever story you are living in, whatever narrative is at play, Jesus is the one who rewrites stories and starts new sentences and chapters in your life.For more info you can go to our website.

Expanse
Welcome to 2023 as Pastor Eric kicks off the year with a talk around the word "expanse". In the beginning, as God hovered over the darkness and void, he began to create everything in existence. He creates man and woman and places them within the expanse of creation and tells them "to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth". The last few years we have been conditioned to run everything through the filter of fear. This has caused many to stall and/or retreat in different areas of our life. We are reminded that we are to be adventurous, curious, exploratory and to "fill the earth". God desires to see the expanse filled with beauty, redemption, and hope.For more info you can go to our website and also check us out on instagram and Facebook.

The Great Hope
You can tell the health of a human soul by its ability to hope. You can tell the strength of a human soul by it’s ability to hope in the middle of darkness. One of the great challenges of being human is to remain hopeful. What do you do when you have lost hope or even lost the ability to hope? How do we get on in this life and hold onto hope? As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, Pastor Eric takes a look at how Jesus came into this world was so under-the-radar and why this was necessary and important. How he came into this world, how he lived in this world and why he came reveals to us why He is The Great Hope. He understands fully what it means to be human and to be in this world.For more info you can go to our website and also check us out on instagram and Facebook.

The Great Interruption
Is God moving towards you? Is he moving away from you? Or is he static? Our own human experience tells each of us a different answer depending on our own experience with life and faith. Pastor Eric reminds us as the Christmas season is in full swing it is also an incredible reminder about the greatest interruption in the human story: Jesus came. We can add up all the sin, brokenness and despair for all of humanity and in spite of that, Jesus still came. May this Christmas season be one where you are encountered by that fact that Jesus came and he is still coming to you.

The Intelligence of our Soul
Being human is a never ending experience of the spectrum of resonance and dissonance. Our days are filled with moments and experiences where we feel a deep resonance and other times a dissonance. Whether it be the song we are listening to, the person we are chatting with, the place where we work or the kids we are trying to raise. We respond differently to what resonates with us and what doesn't. When we experience dissonance we usually try to control, manipulate or get rid of whatever it is that is causing it. Pastor Eric shares the dissonance in our lives has the potential to create a resilience where your inner world is stronger than your external world. Jesus lived in a world where dissonance was happening all around him, yet he was never overcome by it. In fact, it actually strengthened him and he ushered in another dimension called the "Kingdom".
