We all build our lives on something. Whether we realize it or not, we give authority to something that shapes how we think, choose, and live. In this message, Pastor Phil invites us to consider what we’re building on and why God’s Word matters so deeply. As we explore Scripture together, we’re reminded that the Bible doesn’t just inform our faith, it forms our life. God’s Word sustains us, gives us direction, equips us for everyday life, and ultimately leads us to Jesus.  Send us a text 🙌 Connect with Us: New? - hopecity.ca/new Stay Connected - hopecity.ca/weekly Following Jesus - hopecity.ca/life Giving - hopecity.ca/give Follow us on Instagram: @HopeCityYEG Visit our Website: hopecity.ca Follow us on TikTok: @HopeCityYEG Find other ways to listen to the podcast: hopecity.ca/podcast 🙏 Need Prayer?

Many people want to love God fully but still feel stuck in an ongoing struggle. In this message, Pastor Ken explores why faith often feels like a battle and why that tension is actually part of the Christian life. As we look at Galatians 5, we discover that freedom is not found in trying harder or giving up, but in learning how to walk by the Spirit each day. This message helps us understand the battle between the old us and the new life God gives us, and how to keep moving toward Him even when faith feels hard.

Many of us like control because it makes us feel safe. But when control takes over, it often leads to stress, anxiety, and frustration. In this message, Pastor Phil invites us to consider a better way forward.  As we reflect on Proverbs 3 and the life of Jesus, we discover that surrender is not weakness. It is an act of trust that opens the door to peace, freedom, and a deeper relationship with God. This message helps us learn how to release control and choose surrender as part of loving God with all our heart, soul, and mind.

Many people love Jesus but still feel worn down, stuck, or defeated in their faith. In this message, Pastor Phil explores where real strength actually comes from and why just "trying harder" is not the answer. Ephesians 6 helps us see how God provides everything we need to stand strong through temptation, failure, and pressure. This message is an invitation to move beyond spiritual frustration and learn how to live with resilience, confidence, and lasting strength found in the Lord.

As we begin a brand-new year, Pastor Phil launches our new series The Main Thing with a powerful reminder about what matters most. Jesus said the greatest priority in life is to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and praise plays a much bigger role in that than many of us realize.   In this message, we explore how praise realigns our hearts, guards us against fear, and pulls us back to gratitude. Praise is not just a response to good moments, but a deliberate choice we make even when life feels uncertain. When we praise, we shift our focus from our problems to God’s power and position our hearts around what truly matters.
