We go through life barely noticing the people God has put right in our path, insisting that we’re all alone in the world and that nobody cares. The truth is this: We are meant to be emotionally close to the people we are physically close to.   Sermon Title: Who is your village?  Scripture: Luke 19:1-10  Date: 2022-06-12  Speaker: Pastor Martin Spoelstra  www.discoverychurch.ca  www.facebook.com/DiscoveryChurch.ca   @Discovery Church --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/discovery-church/message

Our God created us out of relationship for relationship—and not relationship that is surface level, or self-seeking. The relationship He has in mind for us is sacrificial, intimate, moment-by-moment connection.  It’s who we are because it’s who God is.   Series: With  Title: We Were Not Created To Be Alone  Scripture: Colossians 1:15-17; John 16:13-15; Genesis 1:27-28  Speaker: Pastor Martin Spoelstra   www.discoverychurch.ca  www.facebook.com/DiscoveryChurch.ca   @Discovery Church ​ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/discovery-church/message

Haggai teaches us something that’s easy to get, but far too easy to forget: Our hearts are continually drawn to invest in things that don’t matter, won’t satisfy, and can’t sustain us. Fortunately, there’s a better way.  Series: Begin Again Title: First Things First Scripture: Haggai 1:1-11 Speaker: Pastor Martin Spoelstra  www.discoverychurch.ca www.facebook.com/Dis --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/discovery-church/message

Like the Old Testament people of God, we are living in a moment of new beginnings; and we believe God wants to write a new chapter. God has done great things for us, liberating us from the slavery of sin. Now he invites us to become a part of his rescue plan for our neighbours and the nations.

Our last couple of years has been tragic and unpredictable. We don’t know what the future holds. Yet we do know that God is still at work, both in the church and in the world. Now is not a time to shrink back in fear, it’s a moment for us to renew our commitment - to step forward in faith - to begin again.   Series: Begin Again  Title: Why Begin Again?  Scripture: Exodus 13:11-16  Speaker: Andrea O'Farrell   www.discoverychurch.ca  www.facebook.com/DiscoveryChurch.ca --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/discovery-church/message

Jesus Himself needed anxiety relief. And when He despaired, He gave us the blueprint for how to deal with worry, stress, and fear.

Emotions are electric. Joy. Sadness. Anger. Compassion. God has given each of us the capacity to feel deeply. When we can better process our powerful emotions, we can start to understand how He will use them for His good. When you’re grieving, when you’re in pain, when you’re struggling, remember—Jesus hurt the same way you do. He feels compassion for people who hurt. God sees you. He cares for you. Cast your cares on Him.   Series: Emotions  Title: Where Is God When It Hurts?  Scripture: Luke 7:11-16  Speaker: Pastor Martin Spoelstra   www.discoverychurch.ca  www.facebook.com/DiscoveryChurch.ca --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/discovery-church/message

#betrayed Betrayed. A word we might forget about during the Easter season—but it is how Jesus’ march toward Calvary is sealed. You know, you may have been betrayed in your life, but if you are honest, you have done your own betraying too! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/discovery-church/message
