Join us this Sunday, the Second Sunday of Advent. The second week of Advent has traditionally been the time to reflect on God’s judgment. The final judgment can feel like a scary thing, so why do we hope for it to come?

Our scripture readings turn our focus toward the ultimate questions of life: Heaven, Hell, Death, and Judgment.

Staircase To Heaven

Oct 01 2024 21 mins

This Sunday, we come to one of Phill's favourite stories in the Old Testament. Jacob, known to be a bit of a charlatan and swindler, is on the run for his life for stealing from his brother Esau, when he dreams of a staircase reaching down from Heaven to Earth. This dream forever changes Jacobs’s life, opening him up to a new reality in which this world is filled with God’s p
