Most of us carry one quiet condition on our faith: I'll follow Jesus, as long as it doesn't cost me too much. Right now, more than 380 million Christians live in places where following Jesus costs them something real, and they keep following Him anyway. They know what Jim Elliot knew: "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." This week, Pastor Kelly continues our Even If series: • Scattered by persecution, the early church preached Jesus anyways. • Persecution is still real today. • Jesus takes it personally when His people suffer. • Remembering our brothers and sisters who are suffering now. • Counting the cost before the cost comes. 📖 Scripture: Acts 7:54-8:4; Hebrews 13:3; Luke 14:27-28 🔔 Subscribe for new messages every week. 🌐 Learn more about Beacon Church at beaconyeg.com #beaconchurch #yegchurch

Have you ever asked God, “How long?” "Are you even there?" The prophet Habakkuk asked the same thing, and by the end of this short book in the Old Testament, he was choosing to rejoice in the Lord. Faith rooted in the harvest dies in a famine, but faith rooted in God can survive anything. This week, Pastor Kelly walks through Habakkuk’s honest conversation with God: Cry out: it’s okay to ask God “How long?” Climb up: wait for God and see things from His view Choose joy: rejoice in the God who doesn’t fall apart 📖 Scripture: Habakkuk 1-3 🔔 Subscribe for new messages every week. 🌐 Learn more about Beacon Church at beaconyeg.com #beaconchurch #yegchurch

Most of us have prayed hard for something and watched it go the other way, then wondered if we just didn’t have enough faith. Faith was never a way to get God to do what we want. It’s trusting who He is, even when He doesn’t keep us out of the fire. This week, Pastor Al Downey shares from Daniel 3 (the story of the fiery furnace) and shows the difference between faith and presumption. Faith and presumption can look almost the same... but: “Our God”: faith rests on who God is, not the outcome “Is able”: nothing is impossible for Him “But if not”: faith never tries to dictate the terms God is always with us... even in the fire. 📖 Scripture: Daniel 3:16-19 🔔 Subscribe for new messages every week. 🌐 Learn more about Beacon Church at beaconyeg.com #beaconchurch #yegchurch

What happens to your faith when life doesn't go according to plan? When you keep praying, but life still gets worse? Psalm 88 is a prayer that begins and ends in the dark. What can we learn from it? We learn that God is always with you... even in the darkness... even when you can't feel Him. This week, Pastor Kelly kicks off our new series, Even If, and asks us: "Does my faith in Jesus have conditions?" 📖 Scripture: Psalm 88 🔔 Subscribe for new messages every week. 🌐 Learn more about Beacon Church at beaconyeg.com #beaconchurch #yegchurch

Thanksgiving isn't always easy when your week or your year hasn’t gone the way you had hoped. But even when life falls apart, God stays faithful, and His mercies are new every morning.

Most of us want the Jesus who saves. Fewer of us want the Jesus who shapes, transforms, changes you... Jesus ended the greatest sermon ever preached with a story about two builders. Both heard His words. Both faced the same storm. Only one house was still standing when it was over. The difference wasn't what they heard... it was what they did with it. This week, Pastor Kelly wraps up our Foundations series with these key points: Jesus Didn't Just Come to Save You, He Came to Shape You You Cannot Stay Neutral, Something is Shaping You The World Is Very Good at Discipling Us Do You Want to Be a Disciple of Jesus? 📖 Scripture: Matthew 7:24–27; Romans 12:1–2 🔔 Subscribe for more messages from Beacon Church 🌐 Learn more: https://www.beaconyeg.com/ #beaconchurch #yegchurch #Foundations

We spend a lot of our lives building a case for who we are... our job, our relationship status, our best year or our worst mistake.. trying to prove something that never should have needed proving in the first place. This week, we kick off a brand new series, and The Bible says something that cuts right through all of it: Before you did anything at all, God had already decided who you are! This week, Pastor Kelly launches our new series, Foundations, with these key points: You Are Not What You Have to Prove You Are Chosen, Adopted, Redeemed, Sealed (This is Not Aspirational) What's True of You Is True of Us as a Church In Christ, You Are a New Creation 📖 Scripture: Ephesians 1:3–14; 2 Corinthians 5:17 🔔 Subscribe for more messages from Beacon Church 🌐 Learn more: https://www.beaconyeg.com/ #beaconchurch #yegchurch #Foundations #Ephesians1

In Luke 6, Jesus closes one of His most well-known teachings with a very difficult question: "So why do you keep calling me 'Lord, Lord,' when you don't do what I say?" This week, Pastor John wraps up our Questions Jesus Asked series with that same question... one that separates what we say we believe from what we actually build our lives on. Calling Jesus "Lord" costs nothing. Believing the right things costs even less. Jesus says the real test is what comes next: do you actually do what He says? He compares it to two builders — one on rock, one on sand. Same storm. Very different outcome. 📖 Scripture: Luke 6:46–49 🎥 Catch the full "Questions Jesus Asked" series on our channel 🔔 Subscribe for more messages from Beacon Church 🌐 Learn more: www.beaconyeg.com/ #beaconchurch #yegchurch #QuestionsJesusAsked #Luke6
