Tue, 05 Nov 2024 09:10:01 -0500

In this sermon we look at the foundational doctrine of the Protestant Reformation, Sola Scriptura. Is God's Word sufficient as the infallible rule of the church, or should we be looking for another? Join us as we look at the history of Sola Scriptura and why it still matters today.

1 Corinthians 12:1-31 - Living As Part of Christ's Body - November 23, 2024 - John Bellingham

Mon, 04 Nov 2024 10:50:18 -0500

One analogy used of the local church of Jesus Christ is the body. In this sermon, we look at what it means to be a part of that body and why every Christian should be part of a local body. The beauty of the body is that though there is diversity in its parts, there is unity in its purpose.

Proverbs 3:1-12 - The Infinite Value of Wisdom - October 20, 2024 - Tom Musetti

Mon, 04 Nov 2024 10:20:13 -0500

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 - Giving Thanks In All Circumstances - October 13, 2024 - Alex Kloosterman

Mon, 04 Nov 2024 10:16:21 -0500

In this sermon, we look at what it means to give thanks in all circumstances. Paul, who went through more than most of us ever will, was able to say these words. But how? And how can we?

Luke 11:33-36 - The Light for All to See - September 22, 2024

Fri, 27 Sep 2024 09:54:21 -0500

This is a difficult passage, but a great treasure of God's word. In this sermon we look at Jesus Christ as the light of the world, how we embrace that light, and how we become that light for the advancement of his kingdom.

Luke 11:29-32 - The Truth is Right in Front of You - September 15, 2024

Fri, 20 Sep 2024 13:38:01 -0500

In this passage Jesus addresses those who would ask for a sign, despite the truth being before their very eyes. We don't need signs, what we need are changed hearts.

Philippians 2:1-11 - There Is No “I” in Team, but There Are Many “I’s” in Division - September 8, 2024

Tue, 10 Sep 2024 10:50:10 -0500

One of the greatest dangers to a church, a marriage, a friendship, or any other relationship, is a lack of unity and division. The New Testament authors constantly warn churches against the danger of disunity, and in this sermon we look at one of those warnings. How can you become more united as a church and in any relationships you have?

Luke 11:24-28 - The Danger of Reformation Without Regeneration - September 1, 2024

Thu, 05 Sep 2024 16:27:34 -0500

Wouldn't it be so great if our world embraced the morals of the Bible? We may not be able to win them to Christ, but what if we could win them to the morals of Christ instead? Well it sounds good, but there is a big problem with that. Moral reformation without spiritual regeneration leads nowhere but down. Join us as we study Luke 11:24-28 to see Jesus' teaching on it.

Luke 11:14-23 - The Cosmic Battle Raging On - August 25, 2024

Tue, 27 Aug 2024 10:32:36 -0500

In this passage we look at an instance of Jesus casting out a demon. But the focus of the passage is not so much on the individual demon, but on the power and authority of Christ in the cosmic war that is raging on. How do we respond to this power and authority and what is our role to play in the battle?

Luke 11:5-13 - How We Approach God in Prayer - August 4, 2024

Mon, 12 Aug 2024 11:22:10 -0500

In the previous sermon, we looked at the question of "what we pray" and the Lord's Prayer. In this sermon, we follow that up and look at our attitude in prayer. What can we expect from God in our prayers? How bold should we be in our requests? What type of God are we approaching?

Luke 11:1-4 - Lord Teach Us to Pray - July 28, 2024

Tue, 30 Jul 2024 08:34:52 -0500

Prayer is an area where very few people will say they are satisfied in their current prayer life. Which is sad, because prayer is so foundational to our Christian walk. In this passage we look at the famous "Lord's Prayer", and how we can pray in the way our Lord commanded us.

Ephesians 5:15-21 - A Biblical Approach to Music in Worship - July 21, 2024

Wed, 24 Jul 2024 10:47:26 -0500

In this sermon, we look at the three important questions: Why do we sing? What do we sing? and how do we sing? Music was God's idea and invention that was gifted to mankind to be used for his purposes. God takes it seriously when we stray from those purposes, or when we begin to think we have the freedom to do whatever we want when it comes to singing. We want our purposes, our songs, and our actions surrounding worship to be thoroughly biblical. Join us as we examine these questions!

Luke 10:38-42 - How to Be a Mary in a Martha World - July 14, 2024

Tue, 16 Jul 2024 08:03:15 -0500

We live in a busy world. We are very production oriented. There is lots to do in this world for our families and our churches and our community. But is it possible that we might be missing Jesus in the busyness of life? Join us as we look at how to serve and love Christ supremely in a busy world.

Luke 10:25-37 - Jesus is The Good Samaritan, Not You - July 7, 2024

Tue, 09 Jul 2024 13:35:28 -0500

In this sermon we look at the very familiar passage of the Good Samaritan. We all know the story and the lesson from it. Love your neighbour as yourself, be a compassionate person, help those in need, and so on. But what if the parable of the Good Samaritan is less about how to be a good neighbour, and more about how you're not a good neighbour, and need the mercy of God?

Hebrews 11 - God Creates and Redeems So We Can Build - June 30, 2024 - Alex Kloosterman

Tue, 02 Jul 2024 13:46:06 -0500

God has created and redeemed his people to be builders. This building must be done in faith, and requires us to develop certain qualities of character. This week we will consider the qualities of faith-filled builders.

Luke 10:1-24 - Living as Kingdom Builders - June 23, 2024

Tue, 25 Jun 2024 05:58:35 -0500

We encounter a very similar passage to the one we looked at in Luke 9 when Jesus sends out the 12 apostles. And once again we are reminded of the responsibility of the church to partake is the spread of the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is the theme of the Bible, and it must be as important to us as it is to God. Listen to find out what Christ is calling you to do!

Luke 9:57-62 - There Are No Half-Committed Followers of Jesus - June 16, 2024

Mon, 17 Jun 2024 09:10:17 -0500

The passage we look at in this sermon is certainly one of the more challenging passages in the Bible. Jesus doesn't pull any punches, and very clearly re-establishes the cost of being his follower. And the cost is huge. But it is worth it!

Luke 9:51-56 - How to View Those Who Oppose You - June 9, 2024

Tue, 11 Jun 2024 08:49:10 -0500

Rejection and opposition can be very frustrating. And because it is something that Jesus promises will happen as we are being obedient to him and his mission, it is something the Christian needs to learn how to deal with. So how do we respond to rejection and opposition in a Christlike way?

Luke 9:49-50 - How to View Other Christians - June 2, 2024

Mon, 03 Jun 2024 12:29:09 -0500

In this passage, Jesus gives his disciples yet another rebuke. And this time, he is rebuking them for how they view others who aren't part of their group. How should we view and relate to other Christians who aren't part of out group? Are they competition or companions? Enemies or allies? How does this play itself out in our conversations and relationships?

Luke 9:46-48 - True Greatness - May 28, 2024

Tue, 28 May 2024 12:55:07 -0500

We define greatness in many ways, but how does God define it? In this sermon we look at the danger of pride and the blessedness of humility. How do we fight our greatest enemy, pride, and cultivate our greatest friend, humility? Join us and find out!

Luke 9:37-45 - A Call to Faith - May 19th

Sun, 26 May 2024 17:43:16 -0500

In this passage, the disciples encounter a particularly evil demon. They are unable to cast it out. Now is that because of lack of skill, lack of trying, or lack of faith? Turns out it is the latter. And there are serious consequences when the people of God are lacking faith!

Luke 9:28-36 - The Glory of Christ - May 12, 2024

Tue, 14 May 2024 10:23:27 -0500

G.K.Chesterton said, "For when we cease to worship God, we do not worship nothing, we worship anything". We are people who are made to worship and behold. When we sin, we are worshipping something that shouldn't be worshipped. The solution to our worship problem, is not to stop worshipping, but to start worshipping the only one who is worthy of our worship. To set our eyes on a greater glory and pleasure than our sin. And that greater glory is the glory of Christ!

Luke 9:18-27 - So You Want to Follow Jesus, Do You? - May 5, 2024

Tue, 07 May 2024 08:35:14 -0500

In this sermon, we look at one of the most challenging passages of Scripture. Jesus begins by clarifying who he is, and he goes on to instruct his disciples on what that entails for them. If he truly is the Christ, what does that mean for those who are going to follow him? It's not a stroll in the park, that's for sure!

Luke 9:10-17 - Jesus is Jehovah Jireh - April 28, 2024

Wed, 01 May 2024 08:46:44 -0500

In this sermon we look at the very well known parable of Jesus feeding the five thousand. One clear truth is being communicated in this passage: God provides! And though we all probably know that, when difficult times come, we often forget it. May this serve as a reminder that the Lord will provide for you your every need!

Luke 9:1-9 - Sharing in the Work of Christ - April 21, 2024

Tue, 23 Apr 2024 15:46:04 -0500

It's time for the disciples of Jesus to start sharing in the work of Christ. What does that look like? What mindset should we have when doing it? And what responses should we expect when doing it? We look at all of these in today's sermon!

Ephesians 6:1-3 - Honouring Your Father and Mother at All Stages of Life - April 7, 2024

Mon, 15 Apr 2024 11:01:06 -0500

The command to honour your father and mother was given in the 10 commandments and repeated on several occasions throughout. It is very important to God! But what does it look like to honour your father and mother at all stages of life? As a child? A teenager? A young adult? In their old age? In this sermon we explore the answers to that question!

1 Corinthians 15:12-20 - If Jesus Didn't Rise, We are in BIG Trouble - Easter Sunday - March 31, 2024

Wed, 03 Apr 2024 18:35:52 -0500

The Resurrection of Christ is at the center of Christian faith and doctrine. If there is no resurrection, there is no Christianity. Paul makes it very clear in this passage that to deny the resurrection is going to come with some serious consequences.
