How would you end this sentence? We are better_________! In this message we look at one word that seems so out of place, especially in this present season, but serves as a well-timed reminder.

AWE-Thentic - Part 3: The Inward 3

Galatians 5:22-23 The strength of our character lies in our inner formation. Without it, what people see is only a mask of our true self.

To the casual observer, these are most often the characteristics that catch the attention and admiration of others.

AWE-thentic - Part 1: The Big 3

In the ongoing struggle for self-improvement, the first three Fruits of the Spirit can prove to be the most difficult to maintain. 

Awe-Thentic - Part 1

Galatians 5:22-23 We often hear that character is king. Beyond talents and abilities, the makeup of your personality makes you either lovable or loathable. This is especially important if you call yourself a follower of Jesus.

And He Shall Be Called... Part 3

Victory comes in many forms, but few as dramatic as a resurrection.

And He Shall Be Called... Part 2 - Smitten

A suffering Messiah was difficult for most to comprehend. It became the biggest stumbling block even though it was an important aspect of the Messiah's mission.

And He Shall Be Called... Part 1- Son of Man

Jesus' favourite title for Himself was carefully taken from prophetic passages in the Old Testament. To His audience, just hearing it would mean that Jesus was claiming something extraordinary.

For a Time Such as This - Part 2

 A difficult season is upon us and in the midst of closures, social distancing and being told what we cannot do, the days ahead look bleak and without promise. It's in these moments where we need to be reminded of what God says we can do and why it makes all the difference, even in a season such as this.

Free-DUMB: Trends That Actually Enslave - Part 5 - Breakdown Dead Ahead

Advice is everywhere. Gurus and self-help icons are the new priests heralding a new world. One where the pursuit of happiness is the only value worth pursuing.

For a Time Such as This - Part 1

 We live in unprecedented times that few of us could have foreseen even a mere month ago. In the midst of the uncertainty and questions we need to be reminded of where our hope and courage lies and why it's so important to embrace our faith now more than ever. 

Free-DUMB: Trends That Actually Enslave Us - Part 4 - Speed Trap

 It's the new mantra of the age; being busy. It conveys an air of self-importance and a life of purpose and intent. It's no surprise then, to find out that burn-out and stress is also at an all-time high. 

Free-DUMB: Trends That Actually Enslave Us - Part 3 - We Just Disagree

We are more polarized than ever, It's not acceptable to just disagree any more, now you have to attack anyone who doesn't hold to every condition of your worldview. In turn, it's virtually impossible for any of us to get along.

Free-DUMB: Trends That Actually Enslave Us - Part 2 - Me, Mine, and Yours

In a culture of more, the ones who appear to have more also appear to have it all. In a contest rooted in envy, the constant race to accumulate creates a false reality built with false hopes.

Free- DUMB: Trends that actually enslave us – Part 1 – Identity Crisis

 Identity is a big deal today. Without clarity in this area, most default to identity that is related to profession, preference, or passion, any of which can leave us empty when they are gone. 

Some Assembly Required - Part 5

There is a danger when we see life as nothing more than disconnected pieces. It can leave us wondering if any kind of purpose can be found and throw doubt on obedience to God or to righteous living. 

Some Assembly Required: When Life Comes in Pieces - Part 4 - Does It Ever Stop?

We wonder if the roller coaster will ever stop and give us a chance to catch our breath. Life can throw us off balance and make us wonder if any kind of equilibrium is even possible?

Loss is a painful experience. Few experiences throw us into darkness like loss, and the emotional toll can make us feel as if normalcy is a distant reality.

Some Assembly Required: When Life Comes in Pieces - Part 2 - The Pain of It All

None of us can escape it, even though we would never invite it into our lives. Oddly enough, it is what bonds every human being together while teaching us the value of compassion and mercy.

Some Assembly Required: When Life comes in Pieces Part 1: When Questions Loom Larger Than the Answers

For most, faith has an unwelcomed companion. We didn't expect it to become a lifelong partner, but there it is, nudging from the sidelines trying to get our attentions through its constant nagging.

And He Shall Be Called... Part 4: Peace

Peace is for many, an elusive state. In the midst of our broken world lies the potential to experience lasting peace.

And He Shall Be Called... Part 3 - Everlasting

God is not a temporary benefit, or a maker of promises that last only for a season. As they say, hope springs eternal when it comes to the promises of God.

And He Shall Be Called - Part 2

 To say the God is mighty, is to evoke the images of not only the Creation story, but of every instance where God reigned victorious.

Membership does have its privileges, but also its responsibilities. To serve is to project the hands and feet of Jesus.

We Are The Church - Part 2 - We Are One Message

The Church is many things to many people, but at its core, its only about one message.

We Are The Church - Part 1 - We Are Love Multiplied

Underlying the entire premise of the Church is this one reality; that God so loved the world.

Unlikely Heroes - Part 6 - Part of the Family

Age can sometimes be a detractor, a liability depending on the importance of the responsibility. Timothy, a disciple of the apostle Paul, heroically forges into the mantle of leadership at a time when his age was seen as a problem.

Unlikely Heroes Part 5 - Ehud

 Sometimes God calls us to drastic situations.  In what seemed like a hopeless cycle, God called a man that no one was looking at, to deliver the entire nation from slavery.  

Unlinkely Heroes Part 4 - Taking Action

 There are times when we are so compelled by an injustice we are tempted to act.  But some things are so daunting many will simply give up and say it's beyond fixing.  Nehemiah, in true heroic fashion, shows how one person can move a mountain. 

Unlikely Heroes Part 3 - It's Up To You!

Sometimes, being a hero is forced upon you. You are faced with a situation that unless you act, the consequences could be disastrous. In those moments, heroes are made and cowards are exposed. In this message, Esther's heroism leads to a nations deliverance.

Love That Endures

Ruth is one of the Bible's most endearing books, primarily because of its portrayal of covenantal love. Her heroic faith set in motion the next generation of God's plan.

When Help Comes Unexpectedly

Rahab, a woman whose life choices would not have classified her as a hero. Yet, when it mattered most, she became a catalyst for God.

Prophet on the Run

For every mountain there is a valley. In this message we look at the character and nature of God as he cares for one of his prophets at the lowest point in his life.

Jonah - Part 4 Mercy Madness

Grace is a funny thing. When we see it showered on others we often respond in judgment or anger. In Jonah's case, he becomes the poster boy for a people who had forgotten their reason for existence and the grace that was once showered on them.

Jonah Part 3 - Prophet Statement

When Jonah finally gets his act together, his obedience produces incredible results. As is often the case, obeying God can lead to some of the most significant moments in our life.

Jonah - Part 2 A Fishy Response

Sometimes God will use the most extreme circumstances to get our attention. In Jonah’s case, his disobedience required a drastic response from God, one that brought Jonah face to face with his own mortality.

Celebration Sunday!

This service is a Celebration Sunday. As a church we reserve these Sunday's to celebrate all that God is doing in the life of Village Green Community Church. From baptisms, Parental Dedications, to memberships and honouring volunteers, these are moments we schedule to pause and thank God. 

Jonah Part 1 - He's Off!

Jonah demonstrates the ultimate flight response when he receives a mission directive from god. As a prophet, he forgot the most basic truth of all, you simply can't run away from God.
