Why does it seem like joy is impossible to maintain through the ups and downs of life? Could there be a difference between fleeting happiness based on circumstances and lasting joy rooted in Jesus?

We live in a world that promises peace but rarely delivers. Even in the moments where everything looks fine on the outside, peace can still feel like it’s out of reach on the inside. So what would it look like to have a peace that isn’t elusive but everlasting. A peace that calms our anxious hearts, repairs broken relationships, and strengthens us to face whatever comes our way. How do we get that kind of peace? How do we experience it?
Hope. We need it like we need oxygen. Without it, it’s hard to go on and with it, we can make it through the toughest of times. But what is real hope and where can you find a hope that lasts? Let’s have a conversation about what it means to have real hope.
Have questions about demons and forces of evil? Have questions about the occult and new age spirituality? Jeff sits down with Jon Thompson, seminary professor who teaches on warfare, for a conversation about evil, demonology, satan, and how the forces of evil can be at work in your daily life, and most importantly how to live in freedom. Jon Thompson is the Senior Pastor of Sanctus Church — a multi-site church in the Greater Toronto Area and online — where he has served for 27 years. He holds a Master of Theological studies from Tyndale Seminary and a Doctorate of Missiology from Fuller Theological Seminary. Passionate about engaging seekers, skeptics, and believers about the Christian faith, Jon has authored three best-selling books: Convergence, Deliverance, and Perseverance.
So if evil is real, how exactly does it work? Better yet, how does it work in your life today? In this message, Jeff draws from scripture and classic theology to show how subtle and clever Satan can be in his activity. Once you recognize his strategies, you can defeat his strategies—in your life and in the world.
So is evil real? Is there a personal power of evil at work in the world? Is it a power that you as a human being can tap into, intentionally or unintentionally? And what happens when you do? We explore those questions and more in this message.
So how do miracles work? Why are some people healed and some not? Does God favour some people and ignore others? Are miracles a sham or something that stopped happening in the 1st century? Or maybe, they’re something else entirely.
So is life only what we can see, touch and experience, or is there more? Is there a supernatural side? Are ghosts real? Are there supernatural beings? Do miracles still happen? We’ll look at what the scripture has to say. When you look for control and power outside of God you risk venturing outside of God’s purpose. The greatest mistake you can make with the supernatural is to overestimate or underestimate its influence. We invite you to join Jeff Brodie as he looks more into the supernatural.

In this message, we’re going to look at a Biblical principle around how rules and relationships work, and how to build spiritual influence in the lives of our kids for the long haul.
