Behaviour Matters
John 4:4-14

In this opening message of the new series *Behavior Matters*, Rev. Dr. Perry Hanley teaches that genuine Christian behavior flows from the inside out rather than from external rules or pressures. Drawing from Jesus’ conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well, he explains that God created humanity first and foremost for relationship—out of love and in His image—before giving the law as a supportive “trellis” to help people flourish, not as a burden to bear. Behavior is not primarily shaped by outside forces (“so-and-so made me…”) but by what fills the heart; external compliance can never produce lasting inner change, as Jesus warned the Pharisees who cleaned the outside of the cup while remaining filthy within. Every person carries a God-shaped void that the world’s substitutes cannot satisfy; only the “living water” Jesus offers—a spring welling up to eternal life—can fill and overflow from within. When believers daily invite the Holy Spirit to fill them to overflowing (beyond the initial sealing at salvation), God Himself does the cleansing and transforming work, naturally producing good fruit and authentic representation of Christ. The call is not to strive harder to look right on the outside, but to ask God to fill the heart more and more, trusting Philippians 1:6 that “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.”

Where To Find Answers

Genesis 11: 1-4

Rev. Dr. Perry Hanley wraps up a series on prayer and the Holy Spirit by exploring how to find true answers and knowledge in an AI-driven world, beginning with the Tower of Babel story in Genesis 11. He highlights humanity’s God-given desire for knowledge, power, and presence—reflecting our creation in God’s image—yet emphasizes our limitations and fallen tendency to seek these apart from Him, as seen throughout Scripture (Eden, idols, the golden calf, witchcraft, and New Testament sorcery). In today’s spiritually curious culture (noting 46% of Canadians are spiritually confused or curious), people turn to mediums, horoscopes, crystals, and especially AI for deep philosophical questions about meaning, consciousness, morality, and suffering. The pastor urges believers to pursue knowledge first through relationship with God—fearing the Lord as the beginning of wisdom—by engaging His Word, practicing patience as students before the Teacher, expecting revelation through asking/seeking/knocking, and ultimately trusting God’s goodness even in silence. The message calls the church to remain a house of prayer while offering the relational truth of Christ as the true source of answers the world seeks.

"When in Doubt, the Answer is Jesus"
Rev. Dr. Robert Knowles

John 20:19-29

In a heartfelt address at Rev. Dr. Robert Knowles shared his deep personal and family connection to Crandall University the institution—his grandfather was its first president, he and his family all attended, and he met his wife there—while highlighting the university’s significant growth, including record enrollment (nearly 2,000 students from 76 countries), expanded programs, facility upgrades, debt elimination, and a strong emphasis on Christian faith integrated with education. He then transitioned into a sermon on doubt, using the biblical story of “Doubting Thomas” from John 20 to encourage believers not to be ashamed of their questions, to seek support from the faith community, to gain proper perspective by focusing on Jesus, and to never give up. He emphasized that honest doubt can lead to deeper faith, that God welcomes our questions, and that—when in doubt—the answer is always Jesus.

Life Among the Thornes
Rev. Dr. Perry Hanley

2 Corinthians 12: 7-10

Rev. Dr. Perry Hanley’s sermon “Life Among the Thorns” explores how, even amid God’s abundant blessings and the call to rejoice daily (Psalm 118:24), life in a fallen world inevitably includes irritants and difficulties symbolized throughout Scripture as thorns—from the curse in Genesis 3 that made the ground produce thorns and thistles, to the choking thorns in the Parable of the Sower, Jesus’ crown of thorns, and Paul’s persistent “thorn in the flesh.” Rather than withdrawing into isolation (a modern form of unhealthy Eastern-style avoidance that breeds depression despite unprecedented connectivity), believers are called to live among thorns by going deep: cultivating a strong root system in Christ (Colossians 2:6-7; Ephesians 3:16-17) so that surface-level irritants cannot choke their faith. This means anchoring in our new identity as free, non-slaves to sin (2 Corinthians 5:17), learning contentment in every circumstance regardless of outward conditions (Philippians 4:11; 2 Corinthians 4:16-18), and trusting that God’s grace is sufficient—His power perfected in weakness (2 Corinthians 12)—so that thorns, though painful, produce deeper faith that will endure into an eternity where thorns no longer exist. Ultimately, what spills out under pressure reveals what is truly rooted inside; with Christ as source, we can face every thorn with calm, courage, and victorious hope rather than defeat.
