Because God Is Good | Church is Good

August 13, 2023 • Pastor Dave Koop • 1 Peter 1:3, Acts 2:41–42, Matthew 16:16–18, 1 Peter 2:5–7, Ephesians 3:10–11

In a world that often questions the relevance and significance of the church, a world that encourages individualism, we must recognize the goodness of God that is manifested through the vibrant life of the church.

Because God Is Good | A Nation Can Heal

July 2, 2023 • Pastor Dave Koop • James 4:6–10, 1 Peter 4:14–17, Matthew 18:18–20, 2 Chronicles 7:14, John 13:34–35

We live in a time when Canada is facing some serious challenges and uncertainties. In order to bring healing to our land it is imperative that we focus on the goodness of God and His light rather than the darkness we see around us. The choice is ours; His goodness is not forced on us but God has promised that IF we turn our hearts to Him, He will heal our land. If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. – 2 Chronicles 7:14 NKJV

Because God Is Good | Our Future Is Good

August 27, 2023 • Pastor Fermin Garcia • Jeremiah 1:5, Jeremiah 29:8–9, Jeremiah 29:11, Jeremiah 29:13–14, Proverbs 3:5–6

The book of Jeremiah carries a broader message about divine purpose, predestination, and the idea that God has a plan for each of us, even before we were born! We each have unique talents and abilities, and it’s up to us to discover and fulfill the calling God has for our lives!

Because God Is Good | You Can Dream Again

August 20, 2023 • Pastor Cheryl Koop • 1 Samuel 8:1–21, 1 Samuel 11:15, 1 Samuel 15:10–11, Romans 12:2

Introduction: Saul was a man who was chosen by God to be king over Israel. Saul’s journey is a sobering reminder of how even those who are anointed for a specific calling can veer off course due to disobedience, insecurity, and jealousy. Saul’s actions had a huge impact on Samuel and the nation of Israel but God had not forgotten them. He would raise up King David, they could dream again and certainly the “best was yet to come”.
