Occupy - BAM: Beautiful and Meaningful

This week Pastor Henry reminds us of the importance of the "unsung heroes" in God’s greater story—ordinary people doing extraordinary things behind the scenes. We are called and equipped by God for our unique tasks and roles. Whether at work, at home, or in our community, our daily actions, when led by the Holy Spirit, can create beautiful and meaningful work that reflects God’s character. Let’s embrace every moment as an opportunity to worship God through our diligence, kindness, and the skills He’s given us. 

The Lord said to Moses,“See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with ability and intelligence, with knowledge and all craftsmanship, to devise artistic designs, to work in gold, silver, and bronze, in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, to work in every craft. - Exodus 31:1-5 (ESV)

Occupy Til I Come

his week Stephanie reminds us that God entrusts us with gifts and resources—not to keep hidden, but to grow and use for His kingdom. God calls us to be faithful stewards, investing our time, talents, and opportunities wisely, knowing that our work has eternal significance. Instead of playing it safe or holding back in fear, be encouraged to take bold, faith-filled steps, trusting that God rewards our efforts when we use what He’s given us to bless others. How can you be faithful with what’s in your hands today?

And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest? - Luke 12:22-26 (ESV)

Occupy - Work It and Keep It

This week Pastor Henry helps us to remember that we’re in our workplace, our community, and every encounter for a reason. God has positioned you there to be His representative, bringing light, joy, and purpose to each space. Let God’s love flow through you as you honour Him in all you do, filling each space with His presence and purpose. Be fruitful, build relationships, and let your work be an act of worship.

And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” - Genesis 1:28 (ESV)

NOW Gen and Beyond

This week, Pastor Henry helps us to remember that Jesus exemplifies growth, wisdom, and humility, even in His youth. Despite His divine nature, He grew in wisdom and stature, embracing progress and honouring those around Him. Life’s challenges may tempt us to give up or stop growing, but let’s press on, knowing that God’s grace is there to strengthen us.  Trust that God is shaping something of eternal value in you that will bear fruit beyond what you can see.

And he said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?” And they did not understand the saying that he spoke to them. And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was submissive to them. And his mother treasured up all these things in her heart.And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man. - Luke 2:49-52 (ESV)

NOW Gen - Deborah the Radical Leader

This week Pastor Henry inspires us to step out in faith, trusting that God will bring victory through our boldness. We can make an impact by listening to God's voice, praying with courage, and acting on the opportunities He places before us. Whether it's influencing those around you or stepping into new challenges, remember that your obedience not only transforms your life but also the lives of those you touch. Let’s love others radically, be courageous in our prayers, and embrace God's calling to make a difference in our world today!

The villagers ceased in Israel; they ceased to be until I arose; I, Deborah, arose as a mother in Israel. When new gods were chosen, then war was in the gates, Was shield or spear to be seen among forty thousand in Israel? My heart goes out to the commanders of Israel who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless the Lord. - Judges 5:7-9 (ESV)

NOW Gen - Live Like a King

This week Pastor Henry takes inspiration from the story of King Josiah, who tore down the idols that distracted his people from God. Just as Josiah didn’t shy away from taking action, let’s examine our own lives for any modern-day idols—whether it’s the lure of social media, the pursuit of comfort that may be diverting our attention from what truly matters. Remember, God is calling you to be a resilient disciple, living with intentionality and purpose, and making a difference wherever He has placed you. Take heart, and let’s continue to shatter any barriers that hold us back from wholeheartedly following God.

Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists undertook to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul proclaims.” Seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this. But the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I recognise, but who are you?” And the man in whom was the evil spirit leaped on them, mastered all of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. - Acts 19:13-16 (ESV)

NOW Gen - Power or Poser?

This week Pastor Henry helps us to remember the importance of living as a "power disciple"—someone who not only knows the name of Jesus but embodies His love, purpose, and grace in everything they do. We are called to intentionally influence the people around us, especially the next generation, with Christ’s love. Know that God goes with you, empowering you to make a difference. Embrace this opportunity to reflect Christ's character, and let His love flow through you to touch the lives of those around you.

The Questions - Who's At The Centre Of It All?

Join us at Logan as we continue with our current series, The Questions: The Hard Questions of Faith. This week Pastor Henry reminds us to ground ourselves in Christ every day, not just on Sundays. As we face the challenges and busyness of life, God invites us into a deeper, daily relationship with Him, guiding us through His Word and prayer. When the world offers its distractions, we are called to stand firm in the truth of the gospel, filtering everything through God's Word. God's power, grace, and wisdom are available to us in every situation we face, and as we remain rooted in Him, we will experience the richness of His presence and walk in His purpose for our lives. So stay connected to Him, knowing that with God, nothing is too difficult, and His guidance will help us navigate whatever comes our way.

Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority. - Collosians 2:8-10 (ESV)

The Questions - Jesus’ Hard Questions

The Questions - Jesus’ Hard Questions

This week Pastor JR encourages us to ask hard questions. Jesus himself asked very hard and pointed questions althroughout His life and ministry on earth. God is not intimidated when we ask questions. As Christians, may we have the desire to know Him more, because if we know Him more, we would love Him more. 
Christianity is not a blind faith, but a faith of reason.
 

Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” - Matthew 16:13-15 (ESV)

The Questions - A Ready Defense in the Face of Hecklers

This week Pastor Henry reminds us how we are to respond when faced with opposition or criticism of our faith. As Christians we are called to respond not out of fear or anger, but out of courage, grace, and a firm commitment to the truth, the truth that is in God's Word. Standing firm in our faith begins in our hearts.

But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, 16 having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.  - 1 Peter 3:15-16 (ESV)
