If you were at a dinner party, would you want to sit in a chair that had a wobbly leg? Probably not. We’d want to make sure that there was a solid foundation under us to keep us secure. In our life, what principles and pillars keep us secure and grounded? We’ll learn more today with Pastor Jeff Edwards.

At one time, the idea of having immeasurable knowledge available to us within an instant, any time we wanted seemed like science fiction. Now that we’ve made it a reality, we’re learning that what we need more than ever is the spirit of God and His wisdom to determine what’s real and what isn’t. We’ll learn more today with Pastor Jeff Edwards.

Would you go walking down the street with just one shoe on? Probably not. Because you know that it’s not enough to protect one foot while the other is being damaged. In our spiritual lives, we can’t choose just knowledge or just power, we need to operate in both to be successful. We’ll learn more today with Pastor Jeff Edwards.

If you’re planning a new exercise routine that’s based on your excitement to workout without any knowledge of what you’re doing, you could get injured. If you had all the knowledge of proper lifting technique but no drive to workout, you won’t see any results. Both the passion and knowledge need to come together to see positive change. In the kingdom of God, we need both knowledge and power. We’ll learn more today with Pastor Jeff Edwards.

When learning a new language, it’s not enough to do direct translations for your native tongue, but to learn to think in a new way. When we want to make good decisions in hard times, we need to learn to think God’s way and not man’s way. We’ll learn more today with Pastor Jeff’s message, Greater Life: Wisdom-choose well under pressure.

Before any commercial airline takes off, the passengers are given a safety demonstration to know what to do in case of an emergency. Unfortunately, most don't pay attention to what could be life saving information. We would do well to learn what to do in an emergency before the emergency arises. When it comes to following the Lord, making sure He’s our first priority is always a great start. We’ll learn more today with Pastor Jeff’s message, Greater Life: Wisdom-choose well under pressure. 

In star wars the empire strikes back, Yoda said one of the most famous lines in pop culture when he said,”Do or do not, there is no try.” Little green alien aside, the principal is solid. In life, you’re either in or you’re out. Will we be fully committed to following Jesus. We’ll learn more today with Pastor Kevin Serviss.

When your motivation is high, it makes choosing healthier easier, even if it’s the harder decision. When motivation is gone, we’d much rather choose that path of least resistance. When we're counting the cost to follow Jesus, it can be tempting to live like the rest of the world. When it’s all said and done though, we know that only following Jesus leads to life. We'll learn more today with Pastor Jeff Edwards.

Pastor Jeff wants to see you walk in freedom!

During Jesus’ Earthly ministry, one of the reasons that people flocked to come see Him is because every person who came to Him looking for a healing was healed. Although He performed many signs and wonders in the Bible, does Jesus still heal today? We’ll learn more with Pastor Roselyn Lanthier.

No matter how much wealth we may acquire in our lifetime, the most valuable thing we can ever have are the relationships that we hold dear. Do we recognize the weight of our influence in other peoples lives? We’ll learn more today with our special guest, Ann Pretorius of for Africa ministries.

When a building is under construction, from the foundation to the electrical, the builders have to follow codes for every aspect of the job. Although it’s time-consuming, this is to ensure that the final product will be safe and structurally sound. Our God is a builder, and even if He doesn’t build according to our schedule, we can be confident that He doesn’t cut corners. We’ll learn more today with our special guest, Ann Pretorius of for Africa ministries.

When we’re first growing in the Lord, it’s exciting to see God move and to discover more and more about Him.

We’ll learn more today with our special guest, Ann Pretorius of for Africa ministries.

Pastor Jeff wants to help you navigate some of the most difficult times in life!

Our God is a big God. When we're asking things from Him, or planning for the future, we should ask for things that are beyond our own abilities, knowing that without Him, they won't happen. We honour God by dreaming big dreams. We'll learn more about that today with Pastor Jeff Edwards.

We're told multiple times throughout the Bible that we should seek wise counsel when we're making plans. When we're dreaming about the future, will we allow someone to come alongside us in our planning to help encourage or even correct us? We'll learn more today with Pastor Jeff Edwards.

To have hopes and aspirations about the future is to have a dream. To write that dream down is to begin a plan. To surrender that plan to the Lord, is wisdom. When we have dreams about the future, will we submit them to God, or will we try and force our own way? We’ll learn more today with Pastor Jeff Edwards.

You never need to teach a child how to dream big dreams. Who at some point didn't want to be an astronaut? Unfortunately, as we get older, it's easy to let our dreams go, or stop dreaming altogether. What if we're letting go of something God wanted us to have? We'll learn more today with Pastor Jeff Edwards.

Pastor Jeff wants to help you keep your faith simple!

Would you feel confident about walking down a dark alley, in a bad neighbourhood, all alone? Probably not. Would you feel confident walking down that same alley with an entire army? Probably.

There's a difference between a care owner and a car collector. A car owner only needs one, and will drive it until the wheels fall off. A car collector collects cars out of a passion and a love for them, treating them with tenderness and care. So it is with our God. He's not just using us out of a necessity, He chooses to use and take care of us. We'll learn more today with Pastor Jeff Edwards. 

If you've ever tried to recreate your favourite dish from your favourite restaurant, you know that you can use different utensils, different ovens, and different cookware. If you don't have all the same ingredients though, you won't get the desired results. Although we're all different people from different walks of life, applying biblical principles to our life will have incredible effects.  We'll learn more with Pastor Jeff Edwards. 

If you've ever set up a desktop computer, you know there are several cables to connect, each having their own unique location.

We'll learn more today with Pastor Jeff Edwards. 

When the sun rises in the morning, it does so much more than just bring light. With it comes warmth, energy, and life. The resurrection of Jesus is the same way.

Fishing vessels aren't just designed for calm waters, but raging seas. Even though they might get tossed to and fro, they're designed not to capsize. In the same way, we've been called to battle in Christ, but we're destined to win. We'll learn more today with Dr Jerry Savelle.

A driver’s license is more than just a photo ID, but a confirmation that you can legally operate a vehicle. Just because a teenager has their license though, it doesn’t mean they have the developed skills to drive a car safely, it’s a skill developed over time. When God puts his living waters into us, his children, we learn what it means to carry that with us everywhere we go. We’ll learn more today with Dr Harrison Mungal.

There's a difference between a car owner, and a car collector. A car owner only needs one, and they'll drive it until the wheels fall off, but a car collector collects car out of a passion and a love for them, handling them with care cand tenderness. So it is with our God. He's not just using us out of necessity, He chooses to use and take care of us. We'll learn more today with Pastor Jeff Edwards. 

Our cellphones have become so advanced that most people probably don’t know how to use all of the features that it comes with. Even still, if you saw someone who only ever used their phone to calculate the tip on a bill, you’d know for certain that phone was made for more. Although we might be busy with life, we’ve been made for more. We’ll learn more with Dr. Harrison Mungal.

When teaching a child to catch a ball, they need to learn to not be afraid of the ball. It’s not that they can’t catch the ball, but their likelihood of catching it is far less. The same can be said for most areas in our life, as soon as fear comes into the equation, our success will be limited. Are our lives governed by fear, or by faith? We’ll learn more today with special guest, Pastor Wayne Russell.

Many hands make for light work. When we as the body of Christ are all serving as well as doing life together, we’re able to share each other's burdens and better handle all of life’s difficulties. We’ll learn more about the importance of small groups today with special guest, Pastor Wayne Russell.

Today is Good Friday, a time when we reflect on the price of our freedom. Although it was a hard day, we call it a good day as it promised new life. Let’s reflect together.

When the alignment is off on our vehicles, it feels like the car will always want to drift to one side. The worse the alignment is, the more dangerous it becomes. No matter where God takes us in life, the best thing we can do is to align ourselves with His plan, instead of trying to force our own way. We’ll learn more today with Pastor Jeff Edwards.

A jeep is good on the highway, or city streets, but that’s not why they’re so popular. Jeeps are most desired for when the roads are bad, or there are no roads at all because they’ve been built to handle all sorts of terrain. The same spirit that raised Christ from the dead is alive and well within us when we trust in Jesus as our saviour. That means God’s equipped us to handle and endure all that life throws our way. We’ll learn more today about the power of the resurrection with Pastor Jeff Edwards.

When we consistently live a healthy lifestyle, it won't just affect how we run on a treadmill or lift weights, but how we walk, tie our shoes, or play with our kids. The resurrection of Jesus is no different. When we believe Jesus died and rose again for us, it shouldn’t just affect our beliefs, but every aspect of our lives. We’ll learn more today about the power of the resurrection with Pastor Jeff Edwards.

Pastor Jeff will teach you how to get the victory in Jesus name!

When we come to a closed door, it can either be pushed open or pulled open. If we refuse to obey the instructions, it won’t matter how hard we push, that door will not open. Jesus says I am the way, the truth, and the life. Can we expect to receive His promises when we don’t follow His instructions? We’ll learn more today with special guest, Pastor John Felsman.

Regardless of who we are and how successful we are, we all need God's help. He’s all too willing to help His Children, but are we  willing to obey? This Bible says in James 4:6,”God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Do we need to be humbled so we can learn to listen? We’ll learn more today with special guest, Pastor John Felsman.

Although there are many gem stones that are shiny, many that are tough, many that have beautiful colours, there’s still nothing quite like a diamond.  In life, many people are kind, generous, and self-less, and yet the love that comes from God is unlike any other, both in quality, and availability. We’ll learn more about the authentic love of God with Pastor Jeff Edwards.

When you buy an original piece of artwork, it will sometimes come with a certificate of authenticity to prove that the artwork was in fact made by the artist. When we want to love other people like God loves us, it can’t be faked. We must know the source of the love if we want to display it to others. We’ll learn more today with Ian Cameron and Pastor Jeff Edwards with their message, Love Authentically.

Are you willing to obey God in order to see His promises to come to pass? Pastor Jeff wil teach us more today!

In order to have a roaring fire, three things need to be present, heat, fuel, and oxygen. If even one of these is missing, you no longer have access to the fire. In the kingdom of God, God has given us keys to access all of the promises He has set aside. Let’s learn more about kingdom keys with Pastor Jeff Edwards.

In all that we want to accomplish in life, whether it’s a promotion at work or folding the laundry, focus is a necessary ingredient in all of it. When it comes to living a life for Jesus, having our eyes fixed on Him is a must. We’ll learn more about that today with Pastor Jeff’s message, Kingdom Mindsets: Focus.

Many vehicles are fitted with four wheel drive. Until you’re in a situation where you need four wheel drive, whether it’s a muddy trail or an icy highway, you’ll never know the true power that’s available to you. In life, God has given us the ability to overcome hard circumstances, but until those times come, we’ll never know the full extent of that gift. We’ll learn more today with Pastor Jeff. 

It can be a common problem when people feel they’re entitled to something that they’re not receiving. Thankfully in the kingdom of God doesn’t operate that way, because if we got what we deserved, life would look very grim. We’ll learn about the incredible mercy of God with Pastor Jeff Edwards.

One of the oldest, most recognizable hymns of the church is amazing grace. Every Sunday, at churches all across the world, we sing about the grace of God, but do we know what makes it so amazing, and more importantly, why we can’t live without it? We’ll learn more today with Pastor Roselyn Lanthier.

Before any commercial flight around the world takes off, the cabin crew will show a safety demonstration to ensure that in case of a catastrophic event, you know what to do.

We’ll learn more about what victory looks like today with part three Pastor Jeff Edwards’ message, When Storms Arise.

When we carry our phones with us, we’re ready to receive calls or be notified at any time. If our phones are with us but are turned off, we won;t receive anything. When God is trying to communicate a message to us, through his word or a messenger, are we prepared to hear it? We’ll learn more today with part two Pastor Jeff Edwards’ message, When Storms Arise. 

Going to the beach on a hot summer day can be a great way to escape the heat. Even though swimming can present a risk, you can feel a lot more secure when the lifeguard is on duty, ready to take action if the situation calls for it.

We’ll learn more today with Pastor Jeff Edwards’ message, When Storms Arise.
