When it comes to marital status, we usually belong to one of three categories: single, married, or divorced, and Pastor Kwan helps us see that Jesus has plenty to say to all three categories, as we continue in our series in the book of Matthew and learn what it means to be a Community reshaped together by Jesus.

This Sunday at SO/ Uptown, we are joined by renowned speaker and author Chip Ingram, CEO and teaching pastor of Living On The Edge, a ministry that exists to "help Christians live like Christians." In this message, Chip teaches us from the second part of his series titled "I Choose Joy", and through Philippians, Chapter 1, he encourages us to live above our circumstances and have joy in the midst of really difficult times.

When it comes to community, there's always one inevitability - conflict. But God already knows how conflict affects community, and as we continue in our series in the book of Matthew, Pastor Bill explains the two vital tools that can helps us navigate inevitable conflict as we continue to be reshaped together by His son Jesus in His Community.

Transformation is a profoundly beautiful thing. But where there is change, there is bound to be unchange, or what some may call backsliding i.e. to once again turn away from the life and choices that once brought transformation. As we continue in our series in the book of Matthew, Pastor Ray examines one of the most neglected passages in scripture as we discover Jesus' heart toward backsliders and how they can be reshaped together by Him in "Community".

Every community lives out the ideals of their leader. For us, that person is Jesus, and in this message Pastor Bill helps us discover what it means to be a people united by His life and teachings, and how we can be reshaped by Jesus in true humility in our new series, "Community".

We've all experienced situations where we simply say to ourselves "I'm not sure how I'm going to get through this". It can feel as hard as a brick wall, and even harder to imagine a way forward. As we continue in our series in the book of Matthew, Pastor Ray is going to continue to explore the question, "Who is Jesus?" and how He can turn brick walls turn into doors.

When you hear the word "GOAT", who do you think of? Have you ever thought of Jesus as the "Greatest Of All Time"? Pastor Bill helps us see the value in recognising and embracing the unparalleled greatness and authority that can only be seen in Him, as we continue in our series in the book of Matthew and explore together: "Who is Jesus?"

What does it look like to fully recognise who Jesus is on our most common and uneventful days, and truly live out genuine commitment to Him as our promised Messiah? Pastor Ray helps answer this question as we continue our series in the book of Matthew and ask the question: "Who is Jesus?"

We all have a picture of Jesus in our minds, and it's been moulded long before we ever intended by our churches, families, cultures, and experiences. But if you don't make the effort to truly examine Jesus, the picture you have may be adding layers of tradition, expectations, and even restrictions that are entirely false. Pastor Barak helps us discover that Jesus goes far beyond any framework or boundaries we placed Him in as we continue in our message series in the book of Matthew and ask the question: "Who Is Jesus?"

Jesus is the most profoundly transformational person who ever existed. But who really is Jesus? You might be aware of his reputation, but do you know the person? Pastor Bill helps us find the answer to these question as we begin the first series of the year in the second half of the Gospel of Matthew: "Who Is Jesus?"

Here's an important question that almost no one usually asks: Who will I become in 2025? It's not just an important question, but one that we believe Jesus really cares about because we are all becoming someone. Pastor Aaron helps us understand why this question will be so critical for all of us this year.

Each of us meets the new year in our own way. For some, it sparks hope and fresh beginnings, for others it brings worry with the weight of past burdens. But God invites us to continue to hope. To hope, not that life will become easier or that everything will turn out the way that we want, but to place our hope in Him, who is the author of our lives.

A special message from Pastor Ray at our Christmas Eve service.

It's said that Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, but what is it about Christmas that really makes it the most wonderful time of the year? What if there was a greater reason for the season of Christmas? And what if we could be assured of a heart filled with light and joy even when outside is a little gloomy? As we continue in our No Longer Alone series, Pastor Bill helps us see why Christmas really is the most wonderful of the year.

As we navigate this journey of life and faith, we can often place our trust in other things leading us to feel alone and afraid. But God promises that we are never truly alone. Despite our misplaced trust, God still offers a sign of deliverance through the birth of a child who will embody God’s presence with His people. God's promises make his presence, not just a distant concept but a tangible reality we can experience everyday!

The world is face to face with one of the greatest pandemic’s of humanity: loneliness. And we aren’t lonely simply because there isn’t anyone around us - we are lonely because sin isolates us. But God has a solution, and it's a promise that's been there since the beginning. Pastor Daniel walks us through the problem of "original sin" as we begin our Christmas message series, "No Longer Alone".

We declare God as the Sovereign Ruler and Provider over all good things in our lives. But if God owns everything, why does he need our money? Pastor Ray addresses this question as we enter into the season of giving.

We are hardwired for resolution. Everything inside us desperately yearns for redemptive closure. But for the Jesus follower, it's not as simple. As Faithful Foreigners, though we know fully well that climactic triumph awaits, evil continues to reign, in seemingly unstoppable ways. Pastor Bill helps us find the answer to this as we come to an end in our series in the book of Daniel.

How often do we pray to God seeking answers? How often do we hope those answers match a particular time frame? It's completely natural (and expected) for us to talk to God about things happening right now, but God's timeline is vastly different from ours - and so are His answers. However, there's one thing that's for certain - the answers we find in God's word always remain true. As we continue in our series in the book of Daniel, Pastor Kwan helps us learn how to pray as Faithful Foreigners.

We all encounter seasons and experiences in life where despite the fact that we know that God is - and will be - triumphant, we still ask ourselves "why are bad people winning right now?" Pastor Bill helps us understand how the Bible answers this dilemma for The Faithful Foreigner as we continue in our series in the book of Daniel.

Clear expectations can sometimes be the key to lasting relationships, and as we continue in our series in the book of Daniel, Pastor Ray helps illuminate a time when it was all about expectations for God's people in Babylon who were doing their best to remain Faithful as Foreigners until the end of the age.

What do others think about you - even those that see you from a distance? Sometimes living out what we believe can be challenging, especially when living our faith out loud doesn't quite fit the popular norm. In this message, Pastor Bill explores how Daniel, The Faithful Foreigner, lives out his faith in the original cancel culture, as we continue in our series in the book of Daniel.

Generational amnesia is very real. The circumstances, hardships, and lessons that profoundly shaped our fathers and mothers are not likely to sink deep if we don't experience them ourselves - at least not without a massive, intentional effort by those around us. As we continue in our series, The Faithful Foreigner, Pastor Ray discusses the story of king Belshazzar found in the book of Daniel and the lessons from his grandfather that went unheeded.

Lurking within all of us is pride, and if it is not rooted out, then something much worse comes afterward. Pastor Aaron talks about how we as Faithful Foreigners can deal with our problem of pride as we continue in our series in the book of Daniel.

Death is often referred to as the great equalizer - it finds everyone! And yet Jesus himself often communicates in a way that says don't worry about death - worry about the one who decides what happens afterwards! There are several accounts in the Bible where we see someone deeply convicted by this stance, and as we continue our series "The Faithful Foreigner" we will look at three Faithful Foreigners in the book of Daniel.

As we continue in our series in the book of Daniel, we see how the wise men of Babylon, Daniel, and his friends are caught up in a life-or-death situation. As the story unfolds we will see how a Faithful Foreigner responds in the face of the impossible.

The thing about being an expat is that we are fully immersed in an environment that may have different languages, customs, traditions, laws, agendas, and outlooks. But what happens when there are changes that represent an entirely different direction than our faith? Pastor Ray addresses this question as we begin a new message series called The Faithful Foreigner.

In this message, Pastor Bill provides an encouraging update on the mission of Fellowship, casts vision directly from church leadership, and forecasts the direction we are headed as we pursue God-led ambitions.

The future is never certain. Even the things we consider to be the absolute cornerstones of our earthly lives, like our careers, our personalities, our families, are surprisingly fragile. But in a life "W/God", we can be assured that our future is secure, and Pastor Ray helps us explore and understand this assurance as we conclude our series in the book of 1 John.

In today's world, things that define "living successfully" or "victoriously" are widespread and varied, coming at us from all different angles. But as believers, we know Jesus is the key to living "life to the fullest". Pastor Bill helps us unlock the secret to living a victorious life "W/God" as we continue exploring the book of 1 John.

The word fear is referenced over 500 times in the Bible, but how does fear connect with God? Pastor Tim helps us see how walking with "W/God" can lead to a life without fear as we continue exploring the book of 1 John.

There is something staggering about the complete assurance we have of Jesus' glory descending on us at the time when we all need it most: standing in judgement. But actually, there's a side of this assurance that visibly occurs through our lives here on earth, and is something living and tangible, present in the life of every true believer. Pastor Ray helps us discover this unmistakable sign of the assurance we have through a life "W/God" as we continue to explore the book of 1 John.

Every single day, you are being shaped more and more. But what is responsible for that shaping? The answer to that question can be humbling: everything. Everything we consume, experience, and reflect on is shaping us. We are being discipled by the things and voices that we choose to put in our lives, whether we believe it or not. So what are you putting into your life? Pastor Daniel helps us see how a life "W/God" can shape us into being the people God wants us to be as we continue to explore the book of 1 John.

Pastor Ray talks about the one thing that you simply cannot do while loving God at the same time as we continue to explore what life "W/God" looks like through the book of 1 John.

Have you ever thought to yourself: What am I doing here? How did I get to this place in life? Where am I actually going? For most people, these may be hard-hitting questions but the answer to many of these emotions can be summed up in one word: assurance. As we continue to explore the book of 1 John, Pastor Kwan helps us see the assurance we have when we live our lives "W/God" in His light.

As expats, many of us have experienced the loss of a meaningful relationship simply because one of us relocated and as a result of that we may sometimes wonder if it is even worth investing in a relationship if they (or I) are just going to move soon. Pastor Bill helps us see the true richness of life and community "W/God" in our new series as we explore the book of 1 John.

If God is the father we wish we had, and Jesus is the older brother we're glad we have...then who is the Holy Spirit to us? Comforter, intercessor, counsellor, advocate - the Holy Spirit's role in the Christian faith can vary from person to person, and from church to church. As we come to an end with the Father. Son. Spirit. One. series, Pastor Ray helps us understand our relationship with the third member of the Trinity.

Jesus isn’t just a historical figure. He is the very centre of our faith and the key to our relationship with God. As we continue in our Father. Son. Spirit. One. message series, Pastor Bill helps us explore how Jesus, fully God and fully man, relates to the Father, the Spirit, and us.

As we continue in our message series on The Trinity, Pastor Ray explores how God reveals the essence of true community through the perfect relationship within The Trinity and how it translates to the beautiful relationship we have with God.

n our new message series, "Father. Son. Spirit. One.", Pastor Bill explores the deep and beautiful relationship we have with God in light of the mystery of The Trinity and how it actually helps us better understand God, while also tackling some of the difficult questions we may have about The Trinity.

Whether you know it or not, there are a handful of things you value most that you are pursuing with your life. But for many of us, sometimes what we say we value, and what we actually pursue aren't always the same things, and in this message Pastor Daniel explores this phenomenon as he closes out the Here & Now message series.

Injustice. It's awful, tragic, infuriating - and something we will never be able to escape in this world. Today, every living soul on earth will experience, or at least witness, some form of it or another. But as believers, we know a day is coming where every wrong will be made right, and justice - perfect justice - will triumph. But where does that leave us in terms of living with it now? Pastor Ray explores this difficult question as he continues the Here & Now message series.

Jesus is the master at telling a good story. He used everyday things to communicate spiritual truth, and these often came in the form of parables. As we continue in our Here & Now series, Pastor Tim will dive in one particular parable, which Jesus claims if you don’t understand this one, you won't understand the rest.

When you declare Jesus as your Lord, Saviour, and King, something powerful happens. The bonds that tie together this community of followers is thicker than blood, as those who walk in his Kingdom are part of the family no matter what background, tribe, or history; and it's a family Jesus invites everyone to. However, Pastor Ray shares with us how crossing the line into the family of Jesus may represent some significant and life-altering consequences as continues our Here & Now series.

What the word "Sabbath" mean for you? For some, it might mean a restful day of the week, while for others it may immediately bring to mind rigid and inflexible traditions. As a follower of Christ, it can be confusing to know where to land in regards to this particular spiritual law but Pastor Bill helps us see how Sabbath has more to do with our relationship with God than a rule to follow as he continues the Here & Now message series.

Doubt is something that unites us all. Everyone one of us have experienced moments, and for some entire seasons, of extreme doubt. And for those who follow Jesus, these emotions can very easily cast a spotlight on the one who we rest our hope in. Those thoughts might sound something like "Are you the one, Jesus?" and Pastor Barak unpacks this question as we return to the Here & Now message series for a second season!

God, why is this happening? God, why is this happening to my friend? God, why isn't this happening in my life? In this final phase of our walk through the book of Job, Pastor Bill helps us make sense out of any question that begins with the words: God Why. If you have ever thought any of these questions, or something like them, in your head then you will not want to miss this message.

Having a trustworthy friend for advice and insight may be one of the most underrated gifts in life. It often plays a much deeper role in the complex journey of life's decisions - just ask anyone who's gone through a season without a single reliable person to speak with. In this message, Pastor Bill talks about someone who went through a similar season as we continue with our series: God Why.

Have you ever witnessed, or worse yet experienced, suffering on such an intense level that it's left you simply uttering the words, "God, why?" That's exactly the question we're exploring in our new series in the book of Job.
