Edmund Chan - Growing Deeper in God

"This is an invitation to life in Christ. For in Christ, we have a forgiveness that is real, a freedom that is radical, and a future that is redeemed."

At the Name of Jesus

"Surely Chrst beckons us to repent of hearts that see him so small we think our works enrich Him, our programs support Him, and our lives are indispensible to His plan.... To see Him move and work in power for His names sake must become our consuming passion, deepening and intensifying as His Spirit takes control of our hearts. Let us settle for nothing less than explosive inhabitation of the Living Lord, that our childtren,our neighbours,our co-workers, and, yes, the nations, may know at last that the Immanuel has come."
Tricia Rhodes

Worship is at the heart of everything

Psalm 108
A song. A psalm of David.

My heart is steadfast, O God;

I will sing and make music with all my soul.
Awake, harp and lyre!

I will awaken the dawn.
I will praise you, O LORD, among the nations;

I will sing of you among the peoples.
For great is your love, higher than the heavens;

your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,

and let your glory be over all the earth.

God has given us a new song to sing in the nations!

Light transforms darkness

"The cry of the church, both in prayer and in action, must echo the Psalmist's resounding call,
"Arise , Lord! lift up your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless."

When we seek to penetrate the darkness ourselves, bearing the light of justice, we will find that God has not forgotton. He is there already, way ahead of us, making a difference and giving strength and courage to do the same."
