Who is Jesus to me?
You can know all the Bible stories and still miss the point. James Sloan explores John chapter 7, where crowds who'd been waiting for the Messiah stood face to face with him and couldn't see it. Through the lens of "God-smart vs God-connected," we discover what it really means to encounter Jesus—not as information to learn, but as living water to drink. Anna's story of transformation from food bank visitor to church leader shows what happens when someone genuinely meets Jesus and finds their place in God's family.

Ever feel like you didn't meet expectations?
We have all had that sinking feeling of falling short. This talk explores what happens when we do not meet the expectations others have of us, or worse, the ones we set for ourselves. We look at how to process disappointment without letting it define us and what it means to move forward with honesty.

Dealing with Injustice
Life is not always fair, and sometimes it is spectacularly unfair. We tackle the difficult subject of injustice, from the personal wounds that linger to the bigger questions about why wrong things happen to good people, and what we can actually do about it.
Mark's Gospel

Peter Denies Jesus, but do we do the same?
Peter swore he would never deny Jesus, then did it three times before dawn. We look at his story and ask a harder question about ourselves. In the moments that matter, do we do the same thing in subtler ways?
