CHBC Sermons

In this sermon, we examine the Nicene Creed's confession that Jesus “was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate,” emphasizing that the cross is a real event grounded in human history. We'll explore the meaning of His suffering and death, seeing how the cross reveals both the depth of our sin and the depth of God’s love. We'll also consider all that Christ accomplished for us through...

In this sermon, we will walk through the powerful story of Jesus raising Lazarus. As Jesus arrives in Bethany after Lazarus has died, we see a remarkable picture of who He truly is. On the one hand, we see His deep humanity — He grieves with Mary and Martha and even weeps at the tomb. On the other hand, we see His divine authority as He calls Lazarus out of the grave and demonstrates His power ove...

This sermon shows that Jesus is fully human — born, growing, tempted, weary, and dying —so that He can truly represent us, sympathize with our struggles, and intercede for us as our righteous High Priest. Because He has lived the life we could not, He stands before the Father on our behalf, offering mercy, advocacy, and hope to all who turn to Him.

This Sunday we relaunch We Believe by turning our attention to the Son and asking the question that shook the early church: Who is Jesus? Tracing the road from Pentecost to the First Council of Nicaea, we’ll see why the Nicene Creed speaks so carefully of Christ as “God from God… true God from true God… of the same essence as the Father.” Walking through key biblical texts, we’ll see that Scriptur...

This message will interact with various texts about the Lord's Supper, helping us to see the way that it looks backward (in remembrance), inward (through self-examination), around (in fellowship), upward (with thanksgiving), outward (through proclamation), and forward (with expectation). We'll also connect these themes to some of the confessions of the Nicene Creed.

This short sermon will focus on Jesus' teaching about the Father in the Sermon on the Mount, specifically our battle against worry.

This sermon will reflect on God the Father through what Jesus taught us about Him in the Lord's Prayer.

This sermon, primarily interacting with the opening chapters of Genesis, will celebrate God's creation and explore what it means for us today as we groan for all things to one day be made new.

Through Psalm 62, Curtis’ personal testimony, and other Scriptures that speak of our Almighty Father, we'll see that we can trust Him no matter what we're going through. He is our refuge and strong tower. And because He is both strong enough to save and loving enough to hold us, we can pour out our hearts to Him in every season of life.

This sermon will show from Scripture that God is one in essence and three in persons. Through a chronological walk through of the Bible, we'll see the Trinity revealed — not invented — as the heart of Christian faith. We'll also wrestle with the reality that at the centre of the universe is a loving Relationship that we are invited into.

This opening sermon introduces the Nicene Creed as a faithful guide for understanding what Scripture teaches about God. Rather than replacing the Bible, the creed helps the church confess clearly who He is — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — especially in a time of confusion. My hope is to help the congregation to see doctrine not as dry information, but as a gift that anchors our faith, unites the C...

Israel had been enslaved in Egypt for over 400 years. God rescued them through Moses in dramatic fashion — plagues, the Red Sea, freedom they did nothing to earn. But instead of entering the Promised Land immediately, they spent 40 years in the wilderness, a harsh and dry place where they learned daily dependence on God. Now, a new generation stood at the edge of the Promised Land. Moses was about...

This second sermon from a short Christmas series called "The Weary World Rejoices" will remind us that joy is not earned or manufactured. We often feel pressured to “be joyful” while facing exhaustion, disappointment, or loss. Joy can feel fragile or inaccessible — but the Christmas story shows it’s possible because it's rooted in God’s intervention and His nearness. True joy comes...

This first sermon from a short Christmas series called "The Weary World Rejoices" will remind us that God meets us in the darkness, grief, spiritual fatigue, holiday pressure, and weariness of life. He doesn’t wait for us to fix our lives; He brings His light and life right into our broken places.

James ends his letter without a tidy conclusion because he expects the church to go and live it out. After twelve weeks in this book, the call is clear: “go write chapter six” by being a people who pray in every season, care for one another in suffering, confess our sins honestly, believe God for healing and restoration, and go after those who drift so the wandering are brought home. This sermon,...

James uses these verses to teach the early Christians how to respond to the oppression they were facing, not by usurping God’s role as avenger, but with a persevering and prophetic patience. Only God can fully and fairly right all wrongs, and He has promised to do so when Jesus returns.

Join us for an update from two missionary couples supported by CHBC.

This week, we'll explore a healthy and Biblical approach to our future. James warns against arrogant and boastful planning that leaves God out of the picture. We'll explore the meaning of 'God's will,' how to discover it in our lives, and learn to write our plans in pencil while allowing God to hold the eraser.

Flowing out of the previous section, these verses call Christians to reject pride and humbly submit to God in order to be His rather than the world’s friends. Worth noting, a key test for demonstrating this transformation involves how we speak to and about other people.

This morning's passage of Scripture will help us to define ‘Wisdom from Above’ by contrasting and comparing it with ‘Wisdom from Below’ (purity and peacefulness rather than jealousy and strife). We'll also explore a test of sorts that can help us know which wisdom we are following.

Words are powerful. They can build up or tear down, heal or wound, bless or curse. James reminds us that our tongues, though small, hold incredible influence — and that controlling our speech is one of the greatest challenges of faith.

Join us this week as we wrestle with the problem of faith without works. True faith is shown through action, like Abraham offering Isaac and Rahab helping the spies. Without works, faith is dead, empty and lifeless.

While society often values wealth, status, and appearance, James reminds us that true faith sees everyone through the lens of God’s love. In this passage, we’ll explore why favoritism has no place in the life of a believer and how mercy triumphs over judgment.
