Have you ever considered who God has chosen, to bring His message of hope to the world? God chose you and me! Yep, that’s right. God uses His Church—the people of God who have His seal on their foreheads—to bring the message of repentance and salvation to the world. That’s a pretty sobering thought. He does not have a “plan B.” He is relying on us to bring the message of the “Good News” to the whole world. This week we’re going to study this truth in the Book of the Revelation. One other quick thing. We welcome Natalie Jones to the team. Natalie has taken over from Leanne with the weekly emails and coordinating the Contact List. Welcome Natalie!
So come, join us as we worship the triune God together. Here’s the announcement:

Many local South Surrey/White Rock residents, like myself, are excited to read PAN reporters Lauren Collins & Tracy Holmes’ article on quality local residents Kerry-Lynne Findlay & Darrell Jones throwing their hats in the ring for the Conservative BC Leadership race. Both know the local area well. Kerry-Lynne is right that ‘crime & chaos is spreading.’ Darrell is also right that ‘business owners shouldn’t be extorted for simply trying to make a living.’
Many of us recently attended an anti-extortion rally on the very day that an innocent Crescent Beach family had a fire set and shots fired. We must all stand with the Punjabi South Asian community in this serious crisis. Why must many hide in their basements to protect their families from drive-by shootings?
Thankfully the police arrested three ‘foreign national’ suspects with expired student visas. When will the flood of unvetted foreign ‘students’ be corrected? How many are still illegally in our country? Enough is enough. Frank Bucholz is right that we need ‘tangible results.’ Let’s arrest & deport the extortionists, and make Surrey safe again for all families.
The Apostle Paul tells us that we have a spiritual adversary: “spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” St. Peter tells us that our spiritual enemy the devil “prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” There is no doubt that the world is embroiled in a spiritual battle. The devil comes to “kill, steal and destroy.” If we embrace this understanding of the world, what we witness every day makes a lot of sense. God has allowed the devil and his demons to roam the world to wreak havoc and chaos. Through this course of events, God calls people to Himself. He offers salvation for all who are “drowning.” We also learn from Scripture, that although the enemy can tempt Christians, he cannot harm them because God has promised to care for His own children. This week, as we study the Book of the Revelation, we’re going to learn about the nature of the spiritual war we are involved in. We thank God we’re on His side!
So come, join us as we worship the triune God together. Here’s the announcement:

As we journey with Christ through the liturgical calendar this week we arrive at the Baptism of our Lord. An important event to celebrate and remember. The baptism of Jesus is an example for those of us who belong to Him. The implication is that all followers of Jesus should consider being baptized. There’s a second reason why the baptism of Jesus is so important. As Jesus was being baptized we saw and heard the evidence of the Holy Trinity: Jesus in the water, the voice of God from Heaven, and the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove. A true miracle. Also, this week we continue in our study in the Book of the Revelation, as we consider just how God answers our prayers.
So come, join us as we worship the triune God together. Here’s the announcement:
Church @ Church this Sunday—the 11th January at 10:00am

This Sunday we celebrated the arrival of the Magi as they worship Jesus. In Matthew’s Gospel we read that the Wise Men who came from the east arrived at the house where they saw the child Jesus with His mother Mary (Matt. 2:11). This is a really important story, and we don’t want to lose the gravity of it. This celebration is called “epiphany” which means “appearing.” This is the first time that Jesus appears to Gentiles, which implies that Jesus is the Saviour for all people—not just the Jews. We also learn that Jesus was a child, possible two years of age. (That’s why Herod had all the little boys two years of age and under murdered!) After the visit of the Magi, Joseph took Mary and Jesus to Egypt where they waited out the reign of Herod. Fortunately, the gifts they received from the Magi, made it possible for them to travel and live overseas for several years! An amazing story in the life of Christ. This week, we’re also back to the Book of the Revelation. We’re going to look at the power of prayer in heaven!
So come, join us as we worship the triune God together. Here’s the announcement:
