Epikos Church Vancouver

Over 2000 years ago, Jesus gave His followers a mission. It excites some, strikes fear in others, but those who have followed the example of Jesus have been behind the transformation of billions of lives. In the final message from our White Hot series, we look at “why we go,” and share our faith with others.

You've probably been asked the questions before or even asked them yourself. With events like March Madness, weekend parties and a dozen other reasons to simply stay at home, who has time for church? What difference does it make? Why do I really need to go? Despite all the changes in the last 2,000 years, the reasons for gathering as a church are more valid than ever.

Why pray? Does it really make any difference? Why does prayer matter? We will encounter a families prayer for their father, and why Jesus prayed even though He was the Son of God.

The Bible covers almost every topic known to humankind: love, jealousy, sex, money, identity, purpose, depression, joy, peace and many more. How is it that some people read this book and fall asleep while others wake up to new life and passion? Listen in as we discover the true, “why” behind the best selling book in the world and what Jesus has to say about it!

One of the greatest challenges we all face is learning to live present here and now. Whether we long for the good 'ole days, wallow in regrets, or battle hidden fears, the past has a sneaky way of nagging at us. This week we look at one of the easiest habits to slip into, reveal it's primary weapon for attacking us and discover the simple, courageous step it takes to leave the past behind us.

We will look at a crazy question, a newlyweds rough start, a total football miss, and how to make the right pass in our relationships with God as we continue our series, "I Quit".

We will be tackling habits that undermine our potential and rob us of our joy. A little girl with a lemonade stand, a sink full of dishes and a crying spokesperson will teach us the importance of breaking a habit most of us struggle with.

Going to church on roller skates, chomping down on deep-fried caterpillars and awaiting gifts delivered by...Befana??? Some Christmas traditions are stranger than others. But few are as strange as the one that started them all. In part 2 of the Vintage Christmas series, we explore the mystery of God hidden in a baby.

Imagine reconnecting with someone when you didn't ever want to see them again. Someone who treated you in ways that haunted you years, even decades later. What if you had the power to get revenge? How would you respond? These were the questions Joseph's faced at the family reunion he never planned on attending.

Imagine filling in a connect-the-dots picture...without the numbers. Where would you start? How would you know where to go next? Or when the picture is complete? This was Joseph's life experience: always trusting in God's providence, while constantly wondering where He was leading next. Part 3 of our Unashamed series explores how to move forward in faith even when we can't see the picture God is creating in our life.
