John Cook explores the central idea of learning how to love well as the fundamental purpose of life. He challenges us to shift our focus from worldly pursuits like success or status to embodying the nature of love, which is core to the character of Jesus.

What if worship is more than what happens on Sunday morning? From the beginning, God designed humanity to work, serve, and care for His creation, and Scripture uses the same language for both work and worship. In this message, we explore what it means to live an integrated life where our jobs, service, relationships, and everyday actions are all expressions of worship to God. We are challenged not only to work as though we are serving Christ, but also to recognize that genuine worship must be reflected in the way we live. As we celebrate the faithful service of our interns, Lotte and Mirja, we are reminded through the example of Jesus that following Him means laying down our lives in love and service to others.

Pastor Steve preaches a message centered on the concept of spiritual "drift" and the importance of intentionally prioritizing one's relationship with God. Drawing from the life of Jacob in Genesis 34-35, Steve highlights how easily one can become distracted by worldly pressures—such as career, family, and reputation—eventually leading away from core spiritual ideals. The sermon underscores that while God remains faithful even when his people are not, true spiritual health requires a daily commitment to seek His face, surrender control, and reorient oneself through worship, prayer, and community. Ultimately, the message serves as a call for the congregation to pause, address areas of neglect, and return to a life of active, faithful obedience.

The wrestling match is a picture of Jacob’s life – he had used human ingenuity, strength, and scheming to secure blessing for himself. But now that Jacob is facing the Promised Land and the uncertainty of what’s going to happen with Esau, God wants Jacob to learn a new lesson in trust. So, God injures his chosen one – he permanently disables him – so now Jacob can’t fight, can’t run… he is at the will of what happens next.

God promised His blessing to Jacob, then He went above and beyond by promising His presence to him as well… And God’s presence went with Jacob into a time of discipline and hardship – bringing him face to face with the errors of his past so that Jacob would learn from them to live differently…

Kevin Mast from Hope City Barrie came to share his heart for the ministry he does in the city of Barrie and the inspiration and direction he receives from Jesus in doing so.

This story illustrates the tendency for God to operate outside of human wisdom and formula. In this story, instead of honouring the human tradition of blessing the first-born, Jacob is blessed even though he uses deception to receive it… God often chooses to operate outside of the confines of human wisdom to show that He is not like us. He does this so that we don’t treat Him as a formula, but rather as a living being… Is. 55:8-9, “Indeed, my plans are not like your plans, and my deeds are not like your deeds,” says the Lord, “for just as the sky is higher than the earth, so my deeds are superior to your deeds and my plans superior to your plans.” Repeatedly, God chooses and blesses the second born. The first born is a symbol of our flesh and everything that is accomplished through it, while the second born is a symbol of the Spirit and God’s work in and through us because of Jesus…
