  • Tethered - Part 6: “We Believe in One Holy Church”

    Tethered - Part 6: “We Believe in One Holy Church”
    Feb 15 2026
    We continue our series TETHERED - what it means to be rooted or grounded or anchored to the 2000-year-old essentials of Christianity as found in the Nicene Creed, as opposed to the whims, trends and fads that muddy the waters of faith.

    Despite all the ways the institutionalized Church may have hurt, embarrassed or disappointed us, it is still truly a miracle. An unstoppable force in the world and Jesus’s plan for spreading His Kingdom. Not the “institution” but the gathered and “called out” PEOPLE!

    And as ONE Holy Church our biggest witness to the world might just be our ONENESS!

  • Tethered - Part 5: “We Believe in the Holy Spirit”

    Tethered - Part 5: “We Believe in the Holy Spirit”
    Feb 8 2026
    We continue our series TETHERED - what it means to be rooted or grounded or anchored to the 2000-year-old essentials of Christianity as found in the Nicene Creed, as opposed to the whims, trends and fads that muddy the waters of faith.

    This week we come to the “stanza” in the Creed that highlights the Holy Spirit - what Pastor and author Francis Chan has called “The Forgotten God”.

    Perhaps not forgotten by you, but maybe hard to conceive in your mind… difficult to picture or even understand what (if anything) distinguishes the Holy Spirit from God the Father and God the Son, Jesus.

    There are certain faith traditions that would be much more comfortable proclaiming, “I believe in the Father, the Son and the Holy SCRIPTURE”

    For them, the Holy Spirit is just too… impetuous.

    Ultimately, we’ll discover the Holy Spirit is not a doctrine to be studied; He is a person to be experienced in power.

    Tethered - Part 4: “Risen, Ascended & Coming Again!”
    Feb 1 2026
    We continue our series TETHERED - what it means to be rooted or grounded or anchored to the 2000-year-old essentials of Christianity as found in the Nicene Creed, as opposed to the whims, trends and fads that muddy the waters of faith.

    We once again confront the core aspects of Jesus’s life and mission. There are those - and you’ve probably heard this rhetoric - that acknowledge Jesus’ impact and teaching and kindness but stop short of any affirmation of His resurrection, ascension or miracles.

    On Sunday, you may discover that His resurrection is, in fact, the singular most compelling evidence of the Christian faith.

    It’s that important.

  • Tethered - Part 3: “One Lord, Jesus Christ”

    Tethered - Part 3: “One Lord, Jesus Christ”
    Jan 25 2026
    We continue our series TETHERED - what it means to be rooted or grounded or anchored to the 2000-year-old essentials of Christianity as found in the Nicene Creed, as opposed to the whims, trends and fads that muddy the waters of faith.

    The largest section of the Creed is (rightfully) dedicated to Jesus. While Jesus is the focus of our worship and our Church, many of us still under appreciate aspects of His character, divinity and mission.

    Could it be you’ll actually encounter a whole new aspect of our Saviour Jesus this Sunday?

  • Tethered - Part 2: “God the Father, Almighty, Maker of Heaven & Earth"

    Tethered - Part 2: “God the Father, Almighty, Maker of Heaven & Earth"
    Jan 18 2026
    We continue our series TETHERED - what it means to be rooted or grounded or anchored to the 2000-year-old essentials of Christianity as found in the Nicene Creed, as opposed to the whims, trends and fads that muddy the waters of faith.

    Why was the declaration that there is ONE God such a profound and even radical claim? Why does it continue to challenge us?

    Is God the Father some old man with a beard who lives in the sky?

    What does it mean that God created all things seen and UNseen?

    And maybe most pertinently, why does this affect me in 2026?

  • Tethered - Part 1: "Your Lifeline in the Heart of the Storm"

    Tethered - Part 1: "Your Lifeline in the Heart of the Storm"
    Jan 11 2026
    It seems most Christian have a hot take on everything from yoga pants, politics, gender roles to online betting. There may be good Biblical wisdom on each of those, but is EVERY topic of equal importance?

    Is every issue a Gospel issue? If everything is essential, than nothing is.

    Farmers in the prairie days would tie a rope from the house to the barn when a blizzard was coming so they wouldn’t get lost.

    These days we need a rope to lead us home. Something firm to be tethered to that is rooted in historical, orthodox, essential Christianity.

    Thankfully the early Christian pioneers left us with exactly that.

  • A Thrill of Hope - Part 3: "Childlike Hope & Wonder"

    A Thrill of Hope - Part 3: "Childlike Hope & Wonder"
    Dec 21 2025
    Is there anyone who loves Christmas more than kids?
    Sure, the anticipation of presents probably plays into that, but think back to your childhood...
    Didn't you delight in the celebration and decoration… the music and food and family and "good cheer" and possibly even this miraculous story with angels and barn animals and giant stars, and of course a baby.

    What happened to that wonder and innocence and unbridled joy?
    What happened to the thrill of hope?
    What is it about adulthood for many of us that has only added jadedness, stress and cynicism to this sacred season?

    And what did Jesus mean when He challenged us that "unless you become like a little child you will not enter the kingdom of heaven"?

  • A Thrill of Hope - Part 2: "Hope is Here (and not yet)"

    A Thrill of Hope - Part 2: "Hope is Here (and not yet)"
    Dec 14 2025
    How many of you could use a dose of HOPE these days?

    Advent, as you know, is a season of waiting... waiting with great expectation, waiting with hope. Remember, a Biblical understanding of "hope" is not wishful thinking (i.e. "I sure hope I win the lottery"). Hope for the Christ follower is based on our unwavering trust in the unchanging character of God. Has God come through for us in the past? Yes and so, our hope is strong and confident.

    Our forebearers waited for a Messiah, and God delivered. Today we wait for His glorious return. We know Jesus has already saved us from the penalty of our sins, but is He truly coming back to save us from the presence of sin?

    Church, do not lose HOPE. This Advent, we wait. And one day, a weary world will truly and finally rejoice.
