God puts a lot of emphasis on how we use our money and possessions for this is a very practical way for us to examine our hearts towards our Lord.  

The Book of Habakkuk calls God’s people to live by faith, trusting that God is actively working to fulfill his righteous plan. This week's passage shows us that God does this through judgment. 

Psalm 106 urges us to reflect on our own sin in light of Israel’s history of rebellion against God and to praise Him for His unending mercy and forgiveness, which restores us to a right relationship with Him.

Last week the psalm encouraged us to exhort ourselves to "Bless the Lord" because of his steadfast love. This week's psalm encourages us to do the same because of God's greatness in creating and sustaining the universe.

Psalm 102 is the prayer of a deeply afflicted man who turns to God alone for help and hope. This psalm teaches God’s people, especially in desperate circumstances, to pray with a Christ-centered confidence.

Psalm 100 is a culminating psalm following the enthronement psalms we have looked at this summer. It calls God's people to praise because he is God and because he is good.

Psalm 98 is a triumphant song of praise that calls God's people to celebrate His mighty acts of salvation, recognize His sovereign reign as King, and anticipate His just and righteous judgment.

This week's psalm encourages us to praise the Lord, proclaim the Lord, and prepare for the return of the Lord because he reigns as Creator, King, and Judge.

When God's people face evil and injustice in the world, Psalm 94 instructs us to cry out to God for justice, warn others of God’s judgment, rest in God's discipline, and trust in God’s help.

Psalm 92 teaches us that God’s glorious work of destroying the wicked and prospering the righteous should elicit our praise.

Psalm 90 teaches us to live our finite lives in the awareness of God's eternal glory, to acknowledge the seriousness of our sin, and to call on Him for mercy and wisdom in all our endeavors.

This week we will be having two sermons. Nathan Dunmore will be preaching from Colossians 3:12-17. Dave DeSmit will be preaching from John 2:13-22.

This week's chapter presents God as the One who preserves and protects and prospers his faithful ones. Further, this chapter portrays David as a faithful man; a man after God's own heart.

King Saul continues his decline as he visits a medium. His decline, and the reason he visits the medium, is seen in God's silence in the face of his troubles.

This week we continue to see that God prepares, preserves, and provides Israel's king

This Easter Sunday we consider the Spirit's role in the death and resurrection of Jesus.

We will explore from Genesis 3 how God cares for His people in the midst of their sin and suffering, and why counselling is integral to life in God's church.

This chapter is another opportunity for the author of 1 Samuel to contrast David and Saul. One stark difference between the two is that the Lord helps David. 

This week we see how the Lord sovereignly preserves David as he becomes a permanent fugitive from Saul.

David escapes death four times and the author of 1 Samuel makes it clear that it is God who delivers him.

God continues to prosper David which results in both good and bad times for David.

This week's passage marks the beginning of the rise of David as God's appointed king.

This Christmas Eve, as we gather for our Lord's Day gathering, we consider how Jesus' birth was the true light coming into the world.

This week's sermon considers the inadequacy and incapability of humanity.  

First Samuel 11 recounts God's salvation of His people. Just as God empowered Saul to achieve victory for the Israelites, He has provided Jesus as the ultimate means of our salvation.

This week we look at a passage that the author of 1 Samuel uses to compare and contrast Israel's soon-to-be-king and the Lord, their covenant king.

In this final sermon of our five-part series on Mission, we’ll explore our mission regarding the topic of mercy. 

This week we consider a biblical, practical application of the mission of the church which has as its foundation the mission of God. Church planting is clearly a means, according to the Bible, of accomplishing the mission.

This first sermon in our MISSION sermon series looks at the mission of God and how God's nature, God's purpose, and God's works inform his mission and ours.

The psalmist in Psalm 86 praises God as the incomparable God over all other gods and laments the affliction he faces from enemies.

This week we look at a psalm which extols the presence of God.

We continue in our series in Psalms looking at a call for judgement.

This week we consider another lament as well as looking at what it means for God to let his face shine on us.

This week we learn from Psalm 78 the importance of recalling and teaching the will and works of God to future generations.

Psalm 76 is a song of victory calling all people to fear our glorious and majestic God, whose power is unmatched and unparalleled. 

This week we see the Lord helping Israel after Israel repents and returns to him. The help of the Lord encourages us to repent, to pray, and to commemorate his goodness.

This week's focus is on the return of the Ark of the Covenant to Israel and what the events teach us about God.

This week we consider the call of Samuel and how God established him as a prophet in Israel.

This week's passage contrasts the faithfulness of the family of Elkanah with the unfaithfulness of the family of Eli.

The culminating sermon of our Hebrews series is a prolonged consideration of Jesus in the Book of Hebrews with emphasis on his    actions, his death, and his names.

This week we consider several admonitions from the author of Hebrews in regard to persevering; these are practices that help us to remain faithful.

This week we consider practical exhortations of what it means to offer God acceptable worship. 

The author of Hebrews has been encouraging believers to endure by faith. Today's passage contrasts what they do not endure for with what they do endure for.

This week we consider the perspective of suffering as God's discipline put forth in the 12th chapter of Hebrews.

This week we consider Jesus as the example of enduring by faith and learn how he encourages and enables our endurance.

This week we consider the faith of Moses' parents, Moses himself, the Israelites, and Rahab.

The author of Hebrews continues to discuss faith and give examples of faith that resulted in the commendation of God to Old Testament saints.

This week's sermon focuses on the practical admonition that is made coming out of the very serious warning that precedes it. The author of Hebrews informs the readers how they should heed his warning.

This Christmas Day we consider why God the Son became a man.

This week we are warned by the author of Hebrews that the rejection of God’s Son and his sacrifice through deliberate, persistent sin, will result in judgement.

This week we conclude a major section of Hebrews. The author culminates his argument of the superiority of Jesus by presenting the testimony of the Holy Spirit in regards to Jesus and his sacrifice.

This week we consider the obedience of Jesus in his self-sacrifice. 

This week we look at the sufficiency for salvation of the self-sacrifice of the Son of God.

In our text this morning we see an example of the importance of church membership.

This week we consider what the New Testament teaches about membership through its patterns, practices, and imperatives.

This week we look at a communal lament over the destruction of Jerusalem.

This week we look at a royal psalm initially about King Solomon but ultimately about King Jesus. 

This short psalm looks with urgency upon God as deliverer. 

This week’s psalm considers God’s work of conquest as he led Israel into the Promised Land and how this psalm is fulfilled in Jesus. 

This week we’ll see in Psalm 66 how God, in his sovereignty, delivers his people from the slavery of this world, resulting in their praise.

God uses suffering to give us opportunities that produce God glorifying benefits. 

This week we see that Jesus's sacrifice is superior to those of the old covenant based on the sphere, the means, the outcome, and the effectiveness.

This week we consider the deficiencies of the Old Covenant and what is better with the New Covenant. 

This week the author of Hebrews summarizes his portrayal of Jesus as the superior priest by pointing to his perfections.

This week we continue to consider how Jesus is superior to the Levitical priests.

This week we return to our sermon series in the Book of Hebrews.

The resurrection of Jesus is a display of the power of God, a vindication of Jesus's saving work, and a guarantee of eternal life for God's people.

This week we begin our sermon series built on the one explicit mention of the resurrection in the Book of Hebrews. We will consider the title with which the author addresses God is his prayerful benediction: the God of peace.

No matter what happens in our world, every Christian should live with certainty about their identity and their future. We should also be certain about the life we are called to live.

This week’s passage focuses on the assurance and hope found in the Father’s word and in the Son’s work. 

Our text this morning is the hopeful conclusion to a series of rebukes, corrections and warnings that came before. In these verses the author of Hebrews offers comfort and encouragement as he assures his audience of his confidence in their faith and his hope for their preservation.

This week we consider again verses that call believers to leave immaturity and move on to maturity. 

By comparing and contrasting Jesus and the Levitical priests, the author of Hebrews demonstrates that Jesus is a better priest and serves in a better priesthood.

In our message today, the author of Hebrews concludes his reflection on the rest of God, with a final encouragement to enter that rest, or face the consequences of disobedience.

This week we see that along with being born to die and being born to destroy, Jesus was also born to deliver.

The first sermon in our series on the incarnation considers that Jesus was born to die. 

This week we consider how warnings function in the Book of Hebrews. We will answer the questions, “Who are they directed at?” and “What are the consequences?”

In our passage today we see Paul describing what the life of the church should look like as we seek to glorify God as his chosen people.

This week’s passage has the author of Hebrews focusing on the faithfulness of Christ.

Jesus is not only superior to angels in his divinity, he is also superior to them in his humanity because God has crowned him with glory and honour.

In our passage today we see the author of Hebrews continue to make much of Jesus. He compares the angels to the Son, and shows how the Son is so much greater than the angels in every way. 

This week we consider the prominent theme of exile in the Letter to the Hebrews. 

In Psalm 62 David encourages the people of God to trust the Lord in all things, and to rest in the truth of who He is.

This week we consider a psalm of lament that was composed retrospectively in response to a military defeat and the ensuing victory.

This week we look at an imprecatory psalm in which David prays for God to judge the wicked and vindicate the righteous. We also consider how we can apply this type of psalm to our lives.

In Psalm 56 we are shown an example of how to pray when we are afraid. David shows us how we can trust in God in the midst of fear and trials, and we see how we can trust in Christ as we look to our hope in Him.

This week we consider another psalm of lament and endeavour to learn to implement this discipline in our lives.

This week we again consider the judgement of God and see that it is substantiated, severe, and conclusive. We also see that God’s salvation corresponds with His judgement.

The truths expressed in the “Hymn of the Divine Warrior” are brought to bear in a prophecy about Nineveh and Judah.

This week we are going to be exploring the passage of Abraham and Isaac. God continued to work through Abraham’s life and show him more of the true and living God He was. So let us open ourselves up to this passage and the Lord today, and see through this account what Life Lessons we can apply to our lives through the example of Abraham.

The third chapter of Ruth draws our attention to various responses to God's providence.

This week we consider the first chapter of the Book of Ruth wherein Naomi returns to Bethlehem from Moab with her daughter-in-law, Ruth.

This week’s sermon considers Jesus’ appearance to the disciples.

This week we consider the empty tomb of Jesus.

This week we consider the moment of Jesus’ death and the events that immediately preceded and followed. 

This week we consider Jesus’ trial before the secular leaders Pilate and Herod. 

This week we answer the question, “Was Jesus a prophet?”

This week’s passage deals with Jesus’ betrayal by Judas which leads to his arrest.  

Jesus continues to teach his disciples after the Passover meal.

This week’s passage pivots our view to the last leg of Jesus’ journey, his suffering and death. 

This week we consider the angel's words at the empty tomb, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said."

This week we consider the tidings that the angel Gabriel brought to Mary in regards to the birth of Jesus. 

In the face of fear and uncertainty, believers can rest in God’s sovereignty knowing that He is faithful to keep His promises and His power is on display in the lives of His people. 

This week we consider Jesus' teaching about the Messiah. Jesus wants his listeners to reflect on what sort of Saviour the Messiah would be and so he teaches them from the Old Testament.

This week we consider Jesus' famous instructions -- render to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's -- from which we will look at both implications and applications.

This week we consider a passage in which the chief priests, the scribes, and the community leaders question Jesus about his authority. Where does it come from? Who gave it to him?

The Jewish crowd in Jericho is expecting Jesus to usher in his Kingdom any day. Before entering Jerusalem, Jesus uses the Parable of the Ten Minas to address his disciples, the crowd, and their false expectations.

This Sunday we consider the miraculous healing of the blind beggar which is likely the last miracle Jesus performed before He was crucified for us.

Psalm 53 is almost identical to Psalm 14. Both are psalms which powerfully describe the condition of mankind as foolish, corrupt, God-rejecting sinners. We are foolish, corrupt sinners who merit and—barring salvation—will experience the wrathful judgment of God. 

This week we are looking at Psalm 51, David’s penitential prayer, and in it we are given a glorious picture of how God responds to sinners when they come to him in repentance. The Psalm points us beautifully to the finished work of Christ and how he is the embodiment of God’s mercy as he restores our relationship with God and leads us to worship him.

This week we consider this wisdom psalm which engages with the question. “Should I fear?”

Psalm 47 encourages God’s people to praise him because he is a victorious, reigning King. Further, Jesus is clearly the fulfillment of this psalm and our response, again, should be praise.    

This week we study a psalm which was sung at the marriage of an ancient king. The New Testament writers teach us that Jesus is the fulfillment of this psalm. So we look to this psalm to learn about and love our King.

This week we consider another passage wherein Jesus is asked about what is required for eternal life. 

This week we consider another parable in which Jesus teaches God’s affirmation of those who are humble and his disapproval of those who exalt themselves. 

What does the Bible teach us about the Kingdom of God? Join us this week as we dive into Jesus’ words to the Pharisees and to His disciples.

This week’s passage contains teaching from Jesus to the disciples instructing them to care for one another, to confront sin and forgive the repentant, to have faith, and to be dutiful. 

This week we consider another parable of Jesus: the controversial parable of the shrewd manager.

This weekend we return to our series on the book of Luke. Jesus informs his large following how much it may cost to be His disciple. We are faced with the same difficult question that Jesus’ hearers were: “Is following Jesus worth the cost?”

The third stanza of the fourth Servant Song speaks to the manner in which the Servant suffered. His suffering was a great injustice because the Servant was innocent before God.

This week we consider the identity of Isaiah's Suffering Servant. What kind of servant was he? We also consider the prophesied response of those who came in contact with him.

This week we look at another parable that Jesus employs for the sake of teaching the religious leaders. 

Jesus uses his participation in a Sabbath meal at the home of a prominent religious leader to continue teaching about the kingdom of God and how citizens of God's kingdom live. 

In this answer to a question raised by one of the crowd, Jesus confronts our misconceptions about entering the kingdom of God.

This week's passage contains a miraculous healing by Jesus that is a demonstration of God's kingdom and a display of God's compassion.

This week we see that Jesus came to judge and to cause division yet he desires that people would know the truth of who he is that they might know the one who will judge them.

This week we will see Jesus’ instructions in regards to anxiety and worry. His disciples are to battle anxiety by deliberating, desiring, and doing in accordance with who God is, what God has done, and what God has promised. 

This first of two Christmas sermons looks at the anticipation so many experience at Christmas time and considers the anticipation of the birth of the Messiah. 

Jesus speaks to us about the unforgivable sin, hell, and the faithfulness of God - all for our good!

This week we look at various responses to Jesus and the commentary that Jesus' teaching makes on those responses.

This week we consider Jesus' teaching on prayer that he delivered to the disciples which is know the world over as The Lord's Prayer.

This week we return to the Gospel of Luke and consider Jesus' teaching on eternal life, love of God, and love of neighbour. 

This week we return to our sermon series on the book of Luke, and look at Jesus sending out seventy-two followers to announce his ministry.  

This week we consider how church planting, discipleship, and the glory of God are connected.

This week we look at the causes and remedy for the psalmist′s downcast soul. 

This week we look at the final psalm in the first book of psalms.  In it we see a God who is gracious to David, to Israel, and to all who would call upon him for salvation. 

Discover how God transforms David through suffering and discipline to experience a restored hope!

This week we consider a psalm in which David encourages God's people to have faith and to live faithfully, and to base those things on the faithfulness of God.  

We will be continuing our summer series on the Psalms, focusing on Psalm 35. In this imprecatory Psalm, David calls down the judgement of God on his enemies. We'll be asking some difficult questions of this passage: Are we meant to continue praying in this manner in the present day in contrast to what Jesus says about loving our enemies? We will see that this Psalm teaches us of God's holiness, his glory, and how it points towards His son, Jesus.  

This Sunday we will have a report from Moses and Jill regarding their mission work in Uganda. Moses will be preaching about Refugees and Christianity

As Jesus sets his face towards Jerusalem, we learn that each person's orientation to the cross is of great importance.  We see the world's stance in regards to the cross, the disciples' stance in regards to the cross, and most importantly we see Jesus' stance in regards to the cross.  

This week we see Jesus discipling his followers through his works and his words.  What does he teach them? He teaches them that weakness in God's hands is the way to salvation.

This week we consider one of the most spectacular events in the life of Jesus: the transfiguration.  We will consider the context of this event, some Old Testament precedents, and what the transfiguration points to. 

This week we reach a turning point in the Gospel of Luke. Jesus finishes the Galilean portion of his ministry and sets his sight on Jerusalem and the suffering he would experience there.

Penal Substitutionary atonement (PSA) is at the very heart of the gospel.  Having looked at all three words--penal, substituionary, and atonement--we now consider PSA in light of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Penal substitutionary atonement (PSA) is at the very heart of the gospel.  Yet, compared to other images of the atonement, it receives considerably more critique and denials.  We will consider PSA in four Easter messages, looking this Sunday at the penal aspect of PSA.

This week we consider Jesus sending the 12 disciples into their first foray of ministry.  We will see the similarities and differences between their sending and the sending of all believers.  

We may be familiar and comfortable with the stories of Jesus calming a storm and casting out demons, but the reality is that the witnesses to those moments felt great discomfort and fear.  We look today at how the authority of Jesus should cause us to marvel. 

How can I know that I'm truly saved? How can I sincerely help a hypocrite? How can I biblically manage my expectations in personal evangelism? In this passage in Luke, God gave us a simple answer key for clearly comprehending and communicating the vital truths of salvation and sanctification.  

This week Ray Majoran examines an important question that was asked of Jesus: "Are you the One, or should we look for another?" Based on His response, we'll discuss the implications of what it means for us today.

Following Jesus' Sermon on the Plain, he heals the centurion's servant after commending him for his faith.  What was special about the faith of this man?

This week we continue considering Jesus' teaching in Luke 6.  Jesus instructs his disciples to "judge not" but does this really mean what most people think?

This week we consider the final name that Isaiah prophesied would be attributed to the Saviour in Isaiah 9:6 who was born as a child and given as a Son: Prince of Peace.

This week we consider the second name that Isaiah prophesied would be attributed to the Saviour born as a child and given as a Son: Mighty God.

For the second week we consider the Beatitudes as Jesus conveys to his disciples what the life of a citizen of the kingdom of heaven can look like.

This week's sermon focuses on the ministry of Jesus; a ministry that was identified by compassion and power in word and deed.  

This week we return to the book of Luke and consider two Sabbath confrontations Jesus has with the Pharisees.  In both cases, Jesus is ultimately demonstrating who he is and what he will do; he is displaying the gospel.  

This week we consider different aspects of how Jesus proclaims the good news and evaluate how that informs our own presentation of the gospel to those who do not believe.

This morning Pastor Graham is continuing our discussion on evangelism and WLA.

Knowing God personally is the pursuit of discipleship and making God personally known is the purpose of evangelism.  This sermon teaches through Romans chapters 1-3 where we learn that every image-bearing creature of God has been given sufficient knowledge to condemn us, but insufficient knowledge to save us.  This is why we all need to know Christ and His Gospel.

We finish this session in the Psalms with Psalm 33 and consider it as a summary of the psalms we have preached through this summer. Psalm 33 declares the sovereign power and steadfast love of God in the midst of our troubles, trials, and tribulations.  God's love and power evoke a grateful praise and patient trust as we put our hope in him. 

This week our sermon looks at Psalm 31 which is a prayerful psalm in which David petitions God for deliverance in the midst of problems he is facing.  Psalm 31 teaches us how we can pray through problems.  

Psalm 29 is written by David, a song recounting creation's dramatic response to God's voice.  This morning, we will consider what we can learn from creation's response and examine how we ourselves ought to respond as God's people.  

The problems David encounters (from his enemies) have solutions that depend on his relational proximity to the Lord.  This truth in Psalm 27 is as relevant for us today as it was for the shepherd-warrior who wrote this song of prayer and praise.  

This morning, we hear from Psalm 25.  

Today we consider one of the most beloved Psalms, Psalm 23.  This Psalm speaks of God's provision and protection over those who trust in Him.

This week we examine Jesus's call of Levi as well as his own calling of sinners to repentance.

This week we see from God's Word that Jesus is willing and able to help those in need and how those in need should approach Jesus for help.  

This week we look at Jesus's preaching and how his peaching indicated his purpose on earth.  

Compassion Sunday!  This morning we will here about the good work of Compassion Canada.  

The big idea of this sermon:   Overcoming our _______  so that we can better embrace God's promises - all by His grace. (Ron Standish)

We return to our series in Luke's Gospel this Sunday and consider the wilderness temptation of Jesus. This episode confirms Jesus's identity as his public ministry is about to begin.

Adoption is an image of Christ's atoning work drawn from the home. Our adoption is considered by many to be the greatest benefit of Christ's work of atonement.

Redemption is an image of Christ's atoning work drawn from the world of economics. From Psalm 107 we can see how the transaction of Christ's death in our place reverses our condition and leads us to joyful declaration of the greatness of our God.

This week we build upon the doctrine of satisfaction and consider the equally foundational doctrine of substitution. In fact, at its core, the atonement can be defined as satisfaction through substitution.

A detailed look at Luke's telling of the genealogy of Jesus Christ shows that Jesus is the Saviour of all and God's divinely appointed solution for mankind's greatest problem! (Chris Postma).

This week we revisit John the Baptist and consider how his purpose, preaching, prophesying, and punishment all pointed to the Saviour Jesus Christ.

This week we learn more about the promised salvation that the newly born Jesus will eventually fulfill. It is a salvation that also comes with judgment and it is a deliverance that will cost Jesus much.

This week we look at the angelic birth announcement of John the Baptist and consider the reaction of his parents.

This week's passage from the Gospel of Luke contains three people--John, Elizabeth, and Mary--testifying to the coming of the Lord and the resulting blessings of this fulfillment of God's promise.

Today we begin our sermon series in Luke's Gospel. We will work through this book, on and off, over the next three years. The Gospel of Luke is an inspired account of how God has provided salvation for those who humbly trust in Christ. Today we consider some of this Gospel's over-arching themes that are introduced in the first 4 verses.

We continue our celebration of the 500^th anniversary of the Reformation by looking at the fourth Sola: Solus Christus or Christ Alone. "Christ alone" reminds us that at the center of our salvation, as well as the 5 Solas of the Reformation, is sufficiently, exclusively, and pre-eminently, our Saviour Jesus Christ.

"Faith alone" is no less important to us as to the Reformers because it is one of the key points that separate the true biblical Gospel from false gospels. Getting the Gospel right is so important that earlier in Galatians Paul writes: "As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed (Gal 1:9)". Justification by faith alone, that is to say, the way we are considered right before God is fundamental to the Gospel and thus a literal matter of life and death.

This week, Mamdouh from Trans World Radio will speak on the role of discipleship in church growth and multiplication, and what is required to build a discipleship movement.

In previous sermons we have seen that the Great Commission is God's mission for Jesus's disciples and that disciples fulfill the Great Commission through evangelizing or sharing the gospel. This week we see that the results of disciples being made is churches being planted.

This week we consider the critical role that God's Word plays in discipleship. The Word is the means the Spirit uses to create spiritual life, to cultivate spiritual life, and to consummate spiritual life; therefore, disciples will saturate their lives with it and employ it as they connect, grow, and go.

Jesus met four fishermen and told them FOLLOW ME AND I WILL MAKE YOU FISHERS OF MEN.  Today, we are going to look at the response of the four fishermen to Christ’s call.  Specifically, how they set the example for us in being disciples of Christ and what discipleship looks like.  

This week we consider the refrain from the final chapters of Judges: "In those days there was no king in Israel." A final sermon from this Old Testament book reminds us that there is a King who reigns.

This week's sermon looks at Samson’s end. It demonstrates that Samson's downfall is to reflect to us our own weakness and to point to our need for a supernatural saviour.

The most famous deliverer in the book of Judges has to be Samson. Today's sermon focuses on the birth and early exploits of this Israelite judge. Below the surface of this story and its protagonist's feats of strength is a proclamation of the infinitely greater power of Israel's God.

This week's sermon looks at 4 different Biblical figures: Gideon, Abimelech, Tola, and Jair. The summary of all the details in these people's lives is pretty simple: Faithlessness is a terrible thing and therefore we should remain faithful.

This week the sermon comes from Judges 6 in which we are introduced to the deliverer Gideon. The passage describes the events that lead up to Israel's deliverance that God brings under the leadership of Gideon. In this sermon we will see that God's way - his plan, his perspective, his preferences - are the only true and good way.

This week the sermon comes from Judges 4 and 5 in which we meet the deliverers Deborah and Barak. We will see in this narrative the repetition of the theme that salvation is from God. Additionally we will see that God holds humans responsible for their participation in His salvation.

This week we begin our sermon series in the Book of Judges. We will get ourselves situated in the book by looking at when and for what purpose the book was written. We will focus on the major theme of the book as well as some minor themes. In light of these theological ideas we will consider how these truths apply to our lives.

This morning we continue our sermon series "Male and Female. He Made Them." With a sermon entitled Transgenderism and the Gospel. We will see how God's Word speaks to this current issue and consider how the gospel applies to it in specific ways.

The past two Sunday sermons have helped us arrive at the understanding that both men and women in the church derive their value, dignity, and worth from their mutual sonship to God and that differences in roles and functions do not compromise that equality. Today, we consider the different roles and functions of men and women in the church as described in 1 Timothy 2:8 - 3:7.

This morning we welcome District Superintendent Stephen Harbridge who will be preaching the first sermon in our series entitled "MALE AND FEMALE HE MADE THEM". Stephen will preach out of Galatians 3:26-29, on the sonship of all believers.

We continue our study of Psalm 22 today as we consider how this Psalm speaks to David's, Jesus's, and our own feelings of forsaken-ness.

In Psalm 21 we see the victory of a faithful God from a backward-looking and forward-looking perspective.

In Psalm 19 we are informed about the revelation of God in Creation and in his Word.

David, as is the case with many psalms, finds himself in a difficult predicament in Psalm 17. His troubles are close at hand and urgent. And so, David prays. In his prayer, Psalm 17, we are instructed about prayer and informed about God. Today's sermon intends to examine those topics.

This morning, we are pleased to present the powerful work of the London-based ministry of Teen Challenge.

In Psalm 14 we get a clear picture of the depravity of mankind and the enormous grace of God. Despite the fact that people are depraved, some people, by God's grace, are still saved.

Join us in welcoming Matt & Connie Russell, Alliance International Workers, who are sharing with us this morning.

To start the New Year we will consider singing and the Psalms. We will consider how singing can be instructive, combative, and affective. 

Having looked at the problem that preceded Christ's birth, and the promises of Christ's birth, this week we consider the provision that has resulted from Christ's birth. This provision is evident as we consider that Christ is the firstborn of Mary, the first born of creation, and the firstborn from the dead.

Why is Christmas a big deal? Why should we celebrate the birth of a boy in a stable several thousand years ago? To answer these questions we look to Psalm 36 and the problem that plagued humanity, the problem that Jesus came to remedy.

This morning our own Rob "Mags" Magwood, Canadian Director of SEND Canada, will be speaking to us about their work around the world. You can find SEND Canada at www.send.org/canada.

This week's sermon is on Psalm 9. The reign of God, it's faithfulness and forcefulness, will be considered. We also will learn from the psalm the need we have for grace, particularly due to the effects of sin.

This morning, in addition to Pastor Lyall speaking on Psalm 6, it is our privilege to have Danny and Vera Kuranji with us to speak about their ministry as Alliance International Workers in Serbia.

Psalm 5 is a prayerful psalm that considers God’s graciousness and holiness, and instructs us on how we can pray in difficult situations. With it being Thanksgiving Sunday, we also look to the psalm to reflect on things for which we can be thankful.

This week in Psalm 3 we encounter a psalm of lament. In the North American church we have largely lost the skill of lamenting. Psalm 3 gives us direction for how we might pray in times of difficulty.

A major theme in the book of Psalms is the distinction between the righteous and unrighteous. Psalm 1 introduces this topic and considers the differences between the two.

Through his letter to the Colossians, Paul reminds us that being a disciple of Christ includes both an important decision and a lifelong journey of learning and obedience. As the summer of 2016 draws to a close (sigh!) let’s look together at our discipleship walk, and lay out some plans for the fall.

Things to Celebrate!  This morning, the Cambodia Team is excited to present the highlights of their trip and how God worked in and through their lives as they ministered to the people at the ESL camp.

As Paul winds down his letter to the Church at Philippi, he rejoices again over the partnership he has with the Philippians in carrying out the work of the gospel. He emphasizes how essential contentment is to doing all the things God has called him to do.

As Paul delivers his final instructions to the Philippians he produces a picture of what a life governed by the gospel looks like. The life of a gospel partner is a life of rejoicing, a life of sweet reasonableness, a life free from anxiousness, and a life of prayer.

This Sunday’s passage is the conclusion of the body of Paul’s letter to the Philippians.  Paul contrasts those who are enemies of the cross with those who are citizens of heaven.  He concludes this section of the letter with an exhortation to stand firm.

Today we look at the well-known and oft-quoted phrase that Paul employs to describe his pursuit of all that God has for him in Jesus Christ: "Press On!"

International Justice Mission is one of the seven locally-based ministries we partner with in the work of the gospel. Once every two years, today for example, we invite them to explain and update us about their work.

This week, as we consider Paul instructing the Philippians to rejoice, we will look at biblical joy and evaluate how we can rejoice at all times.

Paul continues to provide models of gospel partners in Philippians 2:25-30. In today's sermon we will look at how Paul describes Epaphroditus and what we can learn from this

This week's sermon considers a specific way that Paul instructs the Philippians to work out their salvation. Paul also indicates, through Old Testament allusions, just how significant the gospel is to the Bible's big story.

COMPASSION CANADA is committed to "releasing children from poverty in Jesus' name", by bringing the gospel of Christ to children and their families all over the world, in every case through the work of a local church. We are pleased to feature their ministry this morning with special guest artist Shaun Groves.

What does the resurrection of Jesus mean for us today? The staggering impact of the resurrection will be considered on this glorious Easter morning.

What is the name that God bestowed on Jesus? What is the name that is above every name? Today we consider the answers to these questions as we look at verses 9 - 11 in chapter 2 of Philippians.

In verses 5 - 8 of Chapter 2, Paul describes what Christ has done; he humbled himself and sacrificed himself. In verses 9 - 11 Paul indicates God's response to what Christ has done.

In today's sermon we consider Paul's continued teaching to the Philippians in regards to what is required for a gospel-worthy life. Paul elaborates on why and how the Philippians can have the same mind thereby making his joy complete.

This morning we continue with the Gospel perspective theme as we see how Paul applies that outlook to the future. This perspective can be summed up in the well-known verse which proclaims, "To live is Christ, to die is gain."

The third sermon in the Gospel Partnership series from Philippians looks at a powerful promise from Scripture: "he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion".

This week we begin a sermon series from the book of Philippians. The series will have as its foundation the focus of Paul's letter to the believers in the Roman colony of Philippi: Gospel Partnership.

This Sunday, in our third sermon in the series considering the incarnation, we will learn how God the Son becoming a man impacts our lives day-by-day and moment-by-moment. This becomes apparent as we consider the call to "draw near to God" in Hebrews.

This Sunday Pastor Jude begins our Christmas sermon series focused on the incarnation of the Son of God. This first sermon is titled "The Import and Impact of God's Greatest Miracle", and it will define incarnation and demonstrate its importance to us.

The final sermon in the Dead Orthodoxy series from the book of Malachi considers the difference between dead orthodoxy and living faith. The contrast is seen by comparing the new and old covenants and seeing the living faith that Christ brings to us.

The sixth sermon in the Dead Orthodoxy series from the book of Malachi considers a dispute over God's provision, and thus dependability, for Israel. God is a dependable covenant partner and is certainly able to provide for his people.

Our fifth sermon in the Dead Orthodoxy series considers a dispute over God's justice. The community questions about his tolerance of evil and they even question his very existence. God, however, declares his opposition to evil and his existence as judge.

Our second sermon from the book of Malachi considers the first dispute between God and his people. This dispute centers around the people's perception of God: In light of their circumstances, does God love Israel? God appeals to revelation, history, and the future to bolster his disputation.

This Thanksgiving Day we look at thankfulness and, with help from Jonathan Edwards, consider what true and gracious thankfulness really looks like. We ought to be, first and foremost, thankful for God. And, on this special day of thanksgiving, we also want to thank God for Pastor Mike!

In this final sermon of the ENDURANCE series, Pastor Jude considers the purpose of warnings in the book of Hebrews and how we ought to respond to those warnings.

In this sermon, the second-to-last sermon in the ENDURANCE series, Pastor Jude is preaching on the final verses of Hebrews 12. We will see that God has given believers an unshakeable kingdom which out to evoke gratitude. 

Today Pastor Lyall Mix will be preaching from Psalm 27. In this Psalm we are encouraged to "wait on the Lord". We will see together the benefits we have when we wait on Him.

As an element of our endurance which honours God, Hebrews 12:14 instructs us to take some challenging steps in relation to other people and God Himself. This morning, Rob "Mags" Magwood continues with our sermon series on Endurance. 

This morning, Ron Standish, one of our Elders, will continue our series on "Endurance" from Hebrews 12:9-11, which contrasts the discipline of our earthly fathers and by extension the discipline of all those in authority over us, with the discipline of our heavenly Father.

Pastor Mike takes us on the next step in our series on "ENDURANCE" as we consider the ways in which God brings unpleasant and even painful experiences into our lives -- not in spite of but because of his love for us.

Our ongoing series of studies on "Endurance" reveals a simple but essential "tip" for those who intend to "run with endurance the race that is set before us."

This morning, our new series on "Endurance" looks at two practical instructions by which we can prepare to endure any of the challenges we experience.

This morning, we conclude our series from the Letter to the Hebrews: "HELP IN HIGH PLACES", considering the unique superiority of Jesus, the Son of God, and the personal implications for each one of us.

This morning's sermon is the fourth of four on the subject of HELP IN HIGH PLACES. We're looking at the specific help that Jesus offers us as our "great High Priest," and how His "Perfect Help" impacts our lives.

This morning, we continue our 4-week series entitled "HELP IN HIGH PLACES," looking at the specific help that the Lord Jesus offers us as "our great High Priest."

Hundreds of years before the Christ was born, the prophets of God, for example Malachi, were foretelling his great accomplishments --- and his glorious resurrection.

This morning we happily feature the important work of Youth for Christ in London, and so we happily welcome to the front of the Sanctuary our own James Coolidge, YFC's Executive Director.

For many people, one of the hardest things to believe about Christianity is that Jesus is the only way to God, but there is no mistaking what Jesus said, "No one comes to the Father except through me."

On this "Baptism Sunday", we look at two of the biblical truths that baptism pictures.

"Teen Challenge Sunday" - We are pleased to present the powerful work of this London-based ministry. At the conclusion of both services, and in lieu of a special offering on Communion Sunday, we will take a special offering for the worthwhile work of this organization.

A second introductory sermon preparing us for seven sermons on the "I am..." statements that Christ made about himself.

The fourth sermon focusing on the birth of Jesus. This week we consider Paul's perspective on this greatest of gifts; the birth of Jesus Christ.

The second of three Christmas sermons focussing our attention on the details of the first and best "Christmas gift".

"Church planting among the Unreached" is the core purpose of SEND International. This morning our own Rob "Mags" Magwood, Canadian Director, together with the rest of the SEND Canada Team, will unpack that expression, and celebrate how God is at work in a variety of places around the world. You can find SEND Canada at www.send.org/canada.

We consider the third chapter in this letter of the Apostle Peter, in which he refutes the false teachers and their teaching. We also consider what that means for us today.

The Apostle Peter explains that we all need protection from "false teachers" and their "false words", and how to receive that sort of protection from God.

On this Sunday, as we study 2^nd Peter for the third of nine Sundays, we consider the Apostle Peter's conclusions in light of God's grace and the call to live a godly life.

A new series of sermons begins today as Pastor Mike introduces us to the 2nd New Testament letter of the Apostle Peter, and its emphasis on "diligence".

"For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain."  This morning, Pastor Wilkins (preaching for the first time since February!) leads us in a study of the Apostle Paul's personal statement about life and death. 

 

This tenth and final sermon in the Joshua series will cover the final three chapters of the book of Joshua. The refrain of these chapters, and one could argue the refrain of this entire book, is "Remain faithful to God, for God is faithful to you!" We will consider our own faithfulness in light of the overwhelming and undeserved faithfulness of God to us as seen in the work and person of Jesus Christ. (Joshua 22 - 24)

Sermon: (Rob “Mags” Magwood) “Round Two”: The Generosity Factor 

Whether we deserve it or not, modern day Christ-followers are often misunderstood. As we respond, there are many things to consider. In a follow-up to Graham’s message on Jesus’ parable of the “Good Samaritan”, today we’ll look at the Generosity Factor. (Luke 10:25-37).

This week’s sermon considers Joshua’s great prayer of expectation in which he requests that the Lord make the “sun stand still” in order to prolong the day and achieve a great victory over their enemies. From this narrative we see the power of God working to do the ‘seemingly impossible’ through faithful, expectant prayer, and we will be challenged in how we might approach the Lord in our own prayer lives.

The well known story of Joshua's conquering of Jericho is the subject of this week's sermon. From the sixth chapter of Joshua we consider God's involvement in the conquering of Cannan that begins with the city of Jericho.

This morning, Graham Buchanan, our Director of Community Connections preaches from Luke 10:25-37 on the theme of "being a good neighbour".

Our third installment of the Joshua sermon series looks at the story of Rahab. The story is found in Joshua 2:1-24 and at the center of this narrative is the confession Rahab makes about who God is and what He has done.

Today we begin a sermon series on the book of Joshua with a sermon entitled Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament. Though the series will be based on the book of Joshua, today's passage from Luke 24:25-26 prepares us for seeing our Saviour in this epic Old Testament book.
