  PIVOT - This Wasn't The Plan - September 2026 // Scott Landry 14.09.2026 27dk

  We all have an idea of how life is supposed to go. The career takes off. The relationship works out. The family stays healthy. The opportunity comes through. The timeline unfolds more or less the way we imagined. Until it doesn’t... Sometimes life changes gradually. Other times, one phone call, one conversation, one diagnosis, one decision, or one unexpected moment changes everything. Suddenly, the future you planned isn’t the future in front of you. So what do you do when the plan changes and you didn’t get a vote? In, Part 1 of PIVOT, we’ll talk about how to navigate the disorientation of an unexpected change and discover why a change in your plans doesn’t mean God has changed His.

  At The Movies - Up - August 2026 // Jeremy Sauve 27.08.2026 39dk

  Most of life is ordinary. We sleep, work, drive, make dinner, run errands, have conversations, and move through days that rarely feel significant. And yet, we often expect God to show up in the extraordinary: the breakthrough, the miracle, the moment we cannot explain. But what if God is already present and speaking in the ordinary moments we are so quick to overlook? Elijah’s encounter with God at Horeb reminds us that God does not always show up the way we expect. And if we only learn to recognize him in the extraordinary, we may miss him in the ordinary.

  At The Movies - The Fellowship of The Ring - August 2026 // Chris McNaughton 17.08.2026 32dk

  What if the thing standing between you and what God is calling you to isn't fear, isn't failure, and isn't a lack of faith? What if it's a spreadsheet? What if it's the research you haven't finished yet, the options you're still weighing, the details that aren't quite clear enough to commit? Most of us don't think of planning as a problem. And most of the time, it isn't - but there's a version of needing the plan that stops being wisdom and starts being something else entirely.

  At The Movies - The Princess Diaries - August 2026 // Angela Boelsma 17.08.2026 30dk

  In The Princess Diaries, Mia discovers she's the heir to the throne, but spends most of the movie trying to prove she's worthy of the crown. Many of us approach our faith the same way, believing we have to earn God's love and approval. But what if we've had it backwards all along? Join us as we discover what Scripture says about our identity as sons and daughters of God, and why His grace, not our performance, is what qualifies us.

  At The Movies - Gremlins - August 2026 // Adam Smith 17.08.2026 29dk

  We all have Gremlins. Temptations and things that we keep in the dark. Things we think are small, harmless, and controllable. So we feel… reasonable. “I’ll deal with it eventually”. “It’s not hurting anyone”. The thing is, the more we become reasonable, the more we become comfortable, and comfort feeds the Gremlins. Don’t feed the Gremlins…

  Ready For More - Put On The Apron - July 2026 // Chris McNaughton 14.07.2026 33dk

  Anybody can eat. Love starts showing up when somebody decides to cook for someone else. We are here because somebody wore an apron for us. Now it's our turn. What does love require of me?

  Ready For More - The Bib Was Never Meant To Be Forever - July 2026 // Chris McNaughton 14.07.2026 34dk

  There's nothing wrong with a bib on an eighteen-month-old. The problem is wearing it at twelve. This week we take an honest look at what it means to move from spiritual consumer to someone who actually owns their growth, using one of the most convicting phrases in Scripture: "by this time." Growth was always the expectation. Becoming starts now.

  Examined - The Why Behind The What - June 2026 // Scott Landry 23.06.2026 35dk

  Even if the Gospels are reliable…what difference does it make? In Week 3, we confront the implications; if the Gospels accurately record that Jesus performed miracles, claimed to be the Son of God, and rose from the dead, then Christianity isn’t just one path among many. Jesus made exclusive claims. “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” That may sound narrow, but truth is not determined by what feels fair - truth is determined by what is real. If the resurrection happened in history, then Jesus is exactly who he claimed to be. And if that’s true, then he is not simply a teacher to admire, but a saviour to trust. This final week challenges each of us to move beyond intellectual consideration and respond personally. Because if the Gospels are true, the invitation is clear: Everyone is welcome. The price has been paid. And the decision matters.

  Examined - Who Wrote What - June 2026 // Scott Landry 15.06.2026 35dk

  Who would die for a lie? This is an important question to consider when evaluating the validity of the Bible. If the Gospels were fabricated, why would their authors suffer and die for what they wrote? In Week 2, we look at the men behind the manuscripts. Were they liars? Were they confused? Or were they simply reporting what they had seen and heard? The earliest Christians did not die for a philosophy - they died claiming they had seen a risen savior. Their message was not “follow this teaching,” but “we saw Him alive.” We’ll examine why theories of legend or conspiracy fail to account for the evidence, and why the rapid spread of Christianity in the first century demands an explanation. When you understand what these witnesses endured, the most probable explanation becomes increasingly clear. Come wrestle with the question: Would anyone die for what they knew was a lie?

  Examined - Opening Statements - June 2026 // Scott Landry 08.06.2026 33dk

  Is the Bible just another ancient religious book? Or are the Gospels something entirely different? In Part 1, we will examine the historical reliability of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These aren’t anonymous legends written centuries later. Two were written by eyewitnesses. One recorded Peter’s firsthand testimony. One carefully investigated and interviewed those who were there. We’ll explore manuscript evidence, historical standards used for all ancient documents, and why the Gospels far surpass other accepted ancient histories in documentation and distribution. What we will discover is: if the Gospels are reliable accounts of real events, then what they record about Jesus cannot be casually dismissed. Join us as we begin examining the evidence and discover why Christian faith is not grounded in blind belief, but in history.

  The Comparison Trap - What Makes You, You - May 2026 // Scott Landry 01.06.2026 35dk

  So much of life is spent trying to measure up, blend in, or keep pace with everyone else. But comparison doesn’t just distort how we see others - it obscures who we truly are. When we’re trapped in comparison, we lose sight of the very things that define and shape us. In the final part of The Comparison Trap, we’ll step back and consider the aspects of our lives that have formed us; our gifts, experiences, values, and calling. Rather than minimizing or hiding what makes us different, this session challenges us to recognize it, embrace it, and take responsibility for it.

  The Comparison Trap - The Weight Of Gold - May 2026 // Scott Landry 26.05.2026 33dk

  We spend an incredible amount of time and emotional energy asking questions that were never meant to be answered: are they better off than we are? Are they smarter, funnier, richer? Am I falling behind? Comparison keeps our minds running and our hearts restless, constantly measuring, ranking, and evaluating. In Part 3 of The Comparison Trap, we’ll discover how to step out of this exhausting cycle once and for all.

  The Comparison Trap - Who Decides How I See? - May 2026 // Scott Landry 19.05.2026 38dk

  We all feel the need for approval. Whether we admit it or not, we look to people, platforms, and performance to tell us that we’re okay. But when approval becomes our reference point, our sense of worth is always at risk. In Part 2 of The Comparison Trap, we’ll examine who - or what - has the power to shape how you see yourself, and whose opinion is really worth trusting.

  The Comparison Trap - The Land of Er - May 2026 // Scott Landry 11.05.2026 29dk

  We all want to be rich-er, smart-er, or funny-er. Comparison convinces us that if we just had a little more - what they have - we’d finally be satisfied. It fuels insecurity when we’re behind and arrogance when we’re ahead. But comparison isn’t a ladder to climb; it’s a game designed with no winners. In Part 1 of The Comparison Trap, we uncover why measuring ourselves against others always leaves us empty, no matter where we land.

  Don't Worry - The Weight Of Worry - May 2026 // Scott Landry 05.05.2026 17dk

  Why does worry feel so relentless - like a weight we can’t ever fully put down? Often it’s because we’ve taken responsibility for things that were never ours to carry in the first place. We try to control outcomes, secure the future, and solve problems that are far bigger than our ability to manage. The more we hold onto what we can’t control, the heavier life begins to feel. As we conclude this series, we’ll uncover a freeing truth: peace begins when we release the burdens that were never meant for us. As we learn to trust God with what is beyond our control, something powerful happens - pressure lifts, perspective returns, and worry begins to lose its grip. If you’re tired of carrying tomorrow on your own shoulders, this message offers a hopeful invitation: you don’t have to carry it alone.

  Don't Worry - Between Now and Then - April 2026 // Scott Landry 27.04.2026 36dk

  “What if?” One of the most common traps of worry is imagining a future we think we can predict, and letting that imagined future control how we feel today. When fear takes over, we lose sight of what’s true, forget the moments we’ve already come through, and end up mentally and emotionally far from where we were meant to be. As we conclude this series, this message invites you to step back, remember what’s real, and re-engage with life from a place of strength rather than fear. You’ll discover how worry distorts your perspective, how it pulls you out of the present, and how you can reclaim peace by focusing on what’s in front of you today while releasing what you can’t control about tomorrow. If you feel weighed down by “what ifs,” this message offers a grounding reminder: you can live with clarity, confidence, and calm - even when the future feels uncertain.

  Don't Worry - The Switch - April 2026 // Scott Landry 20.04.2026 38dk

  Why does worry grow so quickly, feel so heavy, and seem so impossible to turn off? Part 2 reveals a surprising insight: worry expands in the direction of whatever we pursue most.

Confidence rises. Clarity returns. Tomorrow stops feeling so overwhelming. You’ll discover a practical, freeing approach to navigating uncertainty: do what you can today, release what you can’t control tomorrow, and focus your heart on what truly matters. If you’re ready to stop letting anxiety dictate your thoughts and start living with greater peace and direction, this message will show you how.
