Message: Power To Change Lives

Message Summary:
Today, Jim Gaull and Colin Griffiths share their personal pilgrimages in the financial realm.

We're going to talk more frankly about this perhaps than you've ever heard. But we believe that there are some things that we as a community need to talk about, because no one else is going to.

Though this is going to be pretty high octane for some of us, we hope that you get a better perspective on some of what it truly takes to be a powerful change agent in your pursuit to find God and grow in full devotion to Jesus.

Message: Power To Set Free

Message Summary:
Let's be really honest. Money is a necessity, and financial stress is like bondage. Any truthful person knows this.

Regardless of what we make, many of us are in bondage to money right now. We are enslaved to its destructive allure or we are enslaved as a result of debt.

And to break free we need not only desire but also a really good plan.

What would it look like if we not only learned but actually applied Biblical principles of handling money?

If we didn't just know but actually followed through on a financial plan that was God-honouring?

Message: Power To Fool

Message Summary:
Today, as we accumulate and spend our money, this timeless book from God, the Bible, continues to have radical wisdom.

So many of the things we think and say about money are simply untrue myths.

Let's take a look at some of the surprising ways you and I have been fooled by or about money.

Creekside Langley Speaker: Jim Gaull
Creekside North Shore Speaker: Colin Griffiths

Did you know that the Bible speaks to us about money more than almost any other subject?

So why is the subject of money so touchy?

Could it be that our finances reveal who we are, our motives, passions, values, and in some cases, our morality?

Jesus put it truthfully, simply, and sensitively when He said, "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

God says, "I know that you have friends and status and money and savings. But what about Me? How do I fit into the picture? Even more importantly, how do I fit into your heart?"

Message: Where I Went In 2004

Message Summary:
We often try to deny that we have any problems or shortcomings. The truth is that every year there are places we have gone, things we have done, or attitudes we have exhibited that need to end. We have also had victories as well. Read more

We have all seen the surreal images on the TV, Internet, and newspapers or even heard audio feeds from radio news reports of the Tsunami in Asia. I personally have felt helpless watching people like us, being swept away by the power of the relentless waters. Hearing survivors stories, looking at images of orphaned children, the hundreds of bodies being buried in unmarked graves. What can one person do to help? Can I do more than pray and witness from afar the tragedy of those people's lives? The answer is Yes. Read more

Message: Happy New Year?

Message Summary:
On Dec 26th a massive earthquake just off the coast of Indonesia generated the 4th largest tsunami since 1900, resulting in well over 100,000 deaths.

How does the God of the Bible relate to these tragedies?

Where is He when they occur?

Can we continue to believe in a loving God who would permit such terrible things to happen?
