You’ve sinned and the weight of it feels heavy. Shame tells you to turn away from God. You’ve gone too far. Or, it says that you need to try harder; to perform more for Christ in order to win His approval. Shame breeds shame. The more you try to perform for Jesus, the harder you push, the more you’ll see how you fall short. But shame tells you to keep going. That’s all you think you can do. But is that right? How do you break the cycle of shame and get right with God? Let’s continue to explore this through Peter’s story.

Tess Scott is a Christian speaker, an award-winning author, and a black sheep turned “Jesus Girl.” With humour and vulnerability, this Canadian mom of eight is on mission to encourage other women with messy stories that they are not alone. She has lived through multiple divorces, married her husband twice and raised a whole brood of boys which only goes to prove God is full of grace and mercy.

It seems like everyone around you has more hope about you having kids than you do for yourself. Are you tired of false hope, and are looking for real answers?

Do you feel like you’re not good enough? Have you done a lot of awful things over the years, and feel like you can’t be redeemed from them? Has shame weighed you down? Let’s look at how Jesus instructed someone who was about to feel the same way.

Ah! The freshness of spring. The birds are beginning to return and the morning is filled with the sounds of their chirping. Bunnies are popping up everywhere along with the spring flowers. The grass is turning green and the trees are budding. Life is returning after the dreary cold.

Since the beginning of the year, we’ve gotten to know Jesus on a more personal level. I chose to do the I AM’s study of Jesus at this time for a specific reason. I wanted to get our minds prepared for Easter – when we celebrate our victorious King.

Life for church planters is difficult. It’s lonely, selfless, and just plain hard. Home offers a place of security and rest. But what happens when suffering enters your home too? How do you find beauty out of brokenness? How do you wrestle through the pain with Christ?

Though this I AM is not part of the book of John, it is powerfully woven throughout Scripture, declaring God’s supremacy and intimacy to His people.

A tragedy struck our community on Wednesday, March 15. An 18-year-old young man died in a workplace accident. He was in his grade twelve year at our local Christian high-school; part of the first graduating class for this secondary school that started four years ago. A tragedy struck our community on Wednesday, March 15. An 18-year-old young man died in a workplace accident. He was in his grade twelve year at our local Christian high-school; part of the first graduating class for this secondary school that started four years ago. Many questions arise in our hearts when tragedy strikes. How could a loving God let this happen? Why did he die so young? He had a whole future ahead of him. What can I do to help? Tragedy can feel crushing. But remember, there’s always hope! There are things we can do to help in these deep times of need.
