When temptation comes knocking, most of us think we can handle it — reason with it, resist it, or outsmart it. But Scripture tells us the real key to victory isn’t negotiating with temptation; it’s fleeing from it. But what does it mean to flee temptation? The story of Joseph is a powerful example of what it means to leave your cloak behind and run toward freedom.
Read MoreResisting temptation isn’t easy—but Jesus showed us how. In the wilderness, He modelled the power of solitude, fasting, and Scripture to overcome temptation and walk in lasting freedom.

Read MoreMost people want avoid conflict at all costs. Churches, in particular, are chronically conflict avoidant. But scripture shows us that conflict has been part of church life since the beginning. True community is not built by avoiding conflict, but by engaging it with honesty, humility, and love.
Read MoreVulnerability doesn’t come easy. Fear and pride often keep us from letting others in. But community can’t thrive without vulnerability. This week in our We > Me series, we unpacked why letting others see our weaknesses is not a liability, but a pathway to love, grace, and real connection.
Read MoreReal love in community goes beyond politeness or surface-level kindness. It means being genuine, selfless, and willing to put others first. The Bible calls us to love with sincerity, not with masks of selfishness or convenience, but by choosing to honour, serve, and care for others even when it is difficult. This kind of love comes from knowing and receiving God’s perfect love, and letting that transform us to love with sincerity and depth.
Read MoreWe’re often hesitant to engage in community because of past wounds and fear of vulnerability. But what if the messiness of community is actually one of God’s greatest tools for transformation?
Read MoreAn ancient proverb says, “If you want to go fast, go alone. But if you want to go far, go together.” Sustaining a lifelong journey of following Jesus is only possible in community. This call goes beyond simply attending church—it invites us into relationships marked by depth, vulnerability, and a shared commitment to transformation.
Read MoreTransformation is possible, but it’s not inevitable. It requires intentional effort on our part. The early Christians understood this, so they embraced what they called a “Rule of Life”—a rhythm of practices, habits, and relationships designed to make space for being with Jesus, becoming like Him, and doing what He did. Crafting our own Rule of Life is an essential step for turning the goal of becoming like Jesus into a reality.
Read MoreA central part of apprenticing under Jesus is learning how to deal with sin. Though the topic can feel uncomfortable, facing the reality of sin—whether committed by us, against us, or around us—is essential for our healing and transformation. This teaching also unpacks confession: the practice of bringing our sin, shame, or hidden struggles into the light with a trusted person, so that we can step into freedom and wholeness.
Read MoreOften, when we begin to practice the spiritual disciplines, the unhealed wounds of a lifetime rise to the surface of our hearts. How we respond to that pain is vital. This teaching explores the three primary ways people deal with pain (deny, detach, or drug), how unhealed pain sabotages transformation, and how God can meet us in pain to bring lasting change.
