Come and See - Marv Franz
The first words of Jesus in the book of John form the question, "What are you looking for?" It is a question which causes us to stop and think about the quest we are on in life. When the first disciples asked what Jesus had to say about their quest he said, "Come and see." Kind of like, "I dare you to check me out".

Over to the Other Side - Paul Macleod
This message is a wonderful story of how Jesus (who loves all people) healed a demon possessed man and how his life made a difference in the Kingdom. Do you welcome Christ's lordship and healing in your life? When did you last tell others about God's goodness in your life?
Tune in. -

What Does it Mean to be Sent? Paul McIlwraith
Mission is all about Jesus sending his followers dependent, vulnerable yet focused. As Christ followers this is our mandate. We are to embody the upside kingdom that Jesus ushered in. That is... "to proclaim good news for the poor, freedom for the prisoners, sight for the blind and release for the oppressed" (Luke 4:18). Jesus sent his early followers into the towns and cities that He intended to go to, and today he is sending us to these places as well.
That is what it means to be sent in our world today. -

The Economy of Grace - Karen West
Jesus uses the parable of the vineyard owner in Matthew 20:1-16 to give us a clear picture of the Kingdom of God. From a worldly perspective, considering the values of most societies, the vineyard owner (and therefore the Kingdom of God) is not fair! But what if we have misunderstood the motivation of the vineyard owner? What if his motivation is not to find people that can ‘produce' for the vineyard? What if his motivation, instead, is to care for and provide for the needs of all who wait in the marketplace? With that perspective, what was considered an injustice becomes instead a gift of grace!

Generosity - Paul McIlwraith
Have you ever thought of God as being Generous?
The concept of a "Christian life" is about fully entering into the generosity of God, and being able to give all day, every day as a pattern of our lives. The giving of ourselves flows out of the transformation of our lives because we have been "wrecked" by the generosity of God.What's our response to a generous God? Life in the kingdom of God is a life lived in gratitude that extends to all that we do...our worship, our giving and our service.
