  Growing Through Giving with Guest Dr Ed Ng

  Sep 27, 202633 min

  Growing Through Giving with Guest Dr Ed Ng Genesis 1:25-27; 2:7, 20-23 In an age of AI companions and increasingly virtual relationships, what constitutes a "real" relationship? Drawing from Genesis and the Christian understanding of the Trinity, this sermon explores what it means to be made in the image of God-is-relationship. Being made in God's image calls us into relationships where we give ourselves, seek the flourishing of others, and discover that, paradoxically, we grow most fully through love. For reflection & discussion: What stood out to you most from the sermon, and why? How does this message challenge or affirm your current understanding of God or faith? Was there a specific story, scripture, or phrase that you found especially meaningful or difficult? How can we live this out together in our daily lives or as a group? What is one step you feel invited to take this week in response to the sermon? Dr. Edward Ng is a Registered Psychologist in private practice in Vancouver and is the founder and director of Eastgate Psychological Services. He provides counselling services to individuals and some couples, and provides consultations for leaders looking for relational and cultural insight.

  Can AI Cure Loneliness with Josh Liem

  Sep 22, 202629 min

  Can AI Cure Loneliness with Josh Liem Genesis 2; John 17 Before sin, death, and the devil, God declared one thing “not good.” This Sunday, we’re in Genesis 2, where neither God, nor solitude, nor every other living creature was suitable for the first human. The earthling needed another like him, yet different. Come explore the implications of artificial companions in our created need to be known and in community. For reflection & discussion: If you could have any animal companion for life, what would you choose? What is the difference between loneliness and solitude? Where do you use AI in your own life? How would you suggest that we / the church address loneliness practically? Who do you know is someone who wouldn’t reach out first when they feel lonely? What could you do for them this week? For further reflection: are there places you use AI that you would hide or be ashamed of? Why? Is there someone you could trust to be open about your usage of AI?

  Being Human (In the AI Age): Behold the Human with Josh Liem

  Sep 13, 202628 min

  Behold the Human with Josh Liem Genesis 1:26-28; John 19:5 As artificial intelligence reshapes how we work, connect, and seek answers, what does it mean to be human? We begin our series, Being Human in the AI Age, by exploring humanity’s creation in God’s image and looking to Jesus—the image of the invisible God, standing wounded before Pilate. Together, we’ll consider how his life invites us to use our power, respond to suffering, and grow in love for our neighbours. For reflection & discussion: How do you feel about AI? Hopeful, fearful, skeptical, or a mix? What experiences have shaped your response? What would you place your worth and dignity if your work or knowledge were easily done by a robot? Jesus seems to invite us to enter into the suffering of others as he does. What suffering do you see? What would entering into that suffering look like?

  The Pharisee and the Tax Collector with Josh Liem

  Sep 7, 202625 min

  The Pharisee and the Tax Collector with Josh Liem Luke 18:9-14 We close our series on the provocative parables of Jesus with the one about the Pharisee and the Tax collector. And Jesus brilliantly baits the trap with two people to compare while teaching disciples to stop comparing themselves to others. Will you take the bait? For reflection & discussion: Who are you most tempted to compare yourself to, and why? Who is the “tax collector,” the person or group or demographic of people that you’d find scandalous imagining God welcoming? What is your relationship to the spiritual disciplines mentioned here: prayer, fasting, tithing? Consider finding or reviewing your rhythm / rule of life with a spiritual friend or mentor.

  A New Approach to Uncertainty with Guest Rev. Dave Mohr

  Aug 31, 202640 min

  A New Approach to Uncertainty with Guest Rev. Dave Mohr John 15:5-11 Life can throw things at us that are so overwhelming they demand a totally different approach. In John 15, Jesus gives His disciples—and us—a radically different way to face uncertainty, difficulty, and everything the world throws our way. This weekend, we’ll discover what it really means to remain in Him, stay close, and find the kind of life and joy that can only come from Jesus. For reflection & discussion: Jesus says, “Remain in me, and I will remain in you.” What do you think it practically looks like to “stay close” to Jesus in the middle of an ordinary week? The sermon contrasts “trying to become a better version of myself” with allowing Jesus to produce fruit through me. Where are you most tempted to rely on your own strength rather than Jesus’ strength? “Remaining in Him is not the same as imitating Him.” What do you think is the difference between trying to act like Jesus and actually allowing Jesus to work through you? Think about a current area of uncertainty, difficulty, or frustration in your life. How might that situation look different if your first response were, “Jesus, I can’t—but You can, through me”? Jesus says that He wants His joy to be in us and that our joy may be complete. What connection do you see between staying close to Jesus and experiencing His joy—even when circumstances remain difficult? For personal reflection: What is one area of your life where Jesus may be inviting you to stop trying harder and simply stay closer? -- Before becoming the executive minister for the BCBA, Dave served as the pastor of an CMA church in Calgary, Alberta. Having been married since 1991, he and his wife, Kim, have three adult children. Though he has been geographically displaced fan for some time, Dave is a life-long Edmonton Oilers fan.
