New Flash Player
by COG Nanaimo on Jan.23, 2010, under Announcements, Live Stream
A new embeded flash player has been installed for the site including livestream and archived sermons. Hopefully this newer flash player will resolve some issues with playback, and provide a better viewing experience. Please leave me your feedback so I can improve the media services, after all the messages are for everyone.
Thanks,
Josh

Seeing Through A Glass Darkly
by COG Nanaimo on Jan.21, 2010, under Articles
Most have read the books or watched the series Anne of Green Gables. Anne’s house, Green Gable’s on PEI suffered fire damage. People were emotionally distraught over this fire. Even though Anne is a fictitious character, people from around the world flock to see her supposed childhood home. Why is that? For many of us, for one reason or another, at one time or another, we have suffered the same pain as Anne. I was talking to one elderly gentleman who was orphaned at about twelve years of age and he said “I felt great comfort from Anne’s story.” Over the centuries Christians have suffered rejection, persecution; they were hated by the world. Jesus tells us straight forward “If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you” (John 15:19,20). For eleven long heart-breaking years, Anne suffers complete rejection. But there is more to the story than Anne’s pain. She made it! And she did it with courage, grit and determination. Anne’s story gives people hope—hope that they too can triumph over life’s inequities.
