In Jesus' third saying on the cross, he thinks not of himself, but selflessly shows his concern for others.

Jesus spent his ministry among the outcasts and the sinners right up to the end, being crucified between two common criminals. The reactions of these men to seeing Jesus on the cross gives us insight into how we see Jesus on the cross, demanding salvation or recognizing our condemned state and hoping for Jesus' remembrance of us. ----------------------------- Thanks for checking out this sermon fr...

In the first of his seven sayings on the cross, Jesus says of the very people who are crucifying him, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." This powerful statement has profound implications for us - we must admit our need for forgiveness, forgive others and receive the forgiveness of God for ourselves. ----------------------------- Thanks for checking out this sermon fr...

While the crowds ask more and more questions of Jesus, he gives a confusing statement about going away and no longer being able to find him. Jesus' game of hide and seek continues in our passage this week, but it's accompanied with an invitation for those seeking to find a true source of satisfaction amid the distractions of this world. That satisfaction is Jesus himself and the provision...

Why did Jesus come? And how would he - the Messiah - go about establishing his kingdom? These were the questions to which his disciples and other Jews had come to false conclusions on. Jesus would not come to establish his rule and reign through fleshly means nor would he seek fame or self-glory Instead, he came to do the will of the Father and glorify Him. ----------------------------- Thanks for...

On the heels of feeding the 5000, the crowd goes looking for Jesus who travelled to Capernaum. When they catch up with him, Jesus exposes their false motives for following him and states, "I AM the bread of life" - a statement with profound meaning that would result in many turning away from following him. ----------------------------- Thanks for checking out this sermon from Tsawwassen...

The death of a ministry friend, and the gathering of the disciples to process their recent journey of ministry is the backdrop to John 6, "The feeding of the 5000+". Is there anything we can glean from such a familiar story? Our speaker this week, Brian Derksen, would suggest that there is much to see and insights to retrieve and invites us to listen with a ready mind to hear from the Sp...

Jesus responds to skepticism by presenting credible witnesses to his identity—John the Baptist, his works, the Father, and the Scriptures—revealing that the evidence for belief has always been there. We also see how fixation on Scripture without coming to Jesus, along with a desire for human approval, can subtly keep people from truly believing and receiving life in him. --------------------------...

By healing a paralyzed man on the Sabbath, Jesus caused an uproar. Not only did he demonstrate his authority to heal but also his authority to bring reform to the Sabbath and claim equality with God the Father. While the lame man walked away in freedom, Jesus created a target on his own back for this very act. ----------------------------- Thanks for checking out this sermon from Tsawwassen Allian...

In a culture of burnout and productivity, Sabbath is God’s life-giving gift that frees us from exhaustion and from defining our worth by our work. When Jesus heals a demonically oppressed woman on the Sabbath, we see the true meaning of Sabbath - that it leads to freedom, healing, and deeper trust in God.----------------------------- Thanks for checking out this sermon from Tsawwassen Alliance Chu...

When it was time for Jesus to be born, Mary and Joseph sought a cozy room at an Inn. However, God's plan was that Jesus would be born in a manger and worshipped by Shepherds.

In the story of Zechariah, we see a man who goes from doubt to praise after seeing the fulfillment of God's promise that he would have a son. But Zechariah would go through a humbling process before seeing the fulfillment of this promise. In the end, we see that God's grace, not Zechariah's faithfulness nor certainty, leads to the birth of John the Baptist who would be the forerunner f...

When John the Baptist sees Jesus' ministry succeeding, he chooses humility over comparison and jealousy. We learn from his example that humility means having a proper view of self - knowing who we are and who we are not. This security in his identity led him to proclaim, "He must increase, but I must decrease."----------------------------- Thanks for checking out this sermon from Tsa...

Jesus won't let us try to contain him as a good teacher or moral example. He is not satisfied with that explanation. He is our Saviour, our Messiah - or he is nothing. He did not come to condemn us - but to save us from our own drive to condemn ourselves. ----------------------------- Thanks for checking out this sermon from Tsawwassen Alliance Church.

When Jesus arrives in Jerusalem during the Passover festival, he sees that the Temple has been turned into a marketplace. He makes a whip and drives out the animals being sold and flips the tables of the moneychangers. The question is "why?" To understand Jesus' anger, we have to look at the significance of the Temple. What we come to realize is that not only is Jesus justified in th...

In John 2:1-12, we see the first of seven signs in the gospel pointing to the divine identity of Jesus. At a wedding in Cana when the wine runs out, Jesus turns turns water into wine.

The Church is called to be a community radically shaped by love - a chief value of the Kingdom of God. Following the example of Christ, the early church  reflected Jesus' sacrificial love through fellowship, generosity, and grace for one another and by showing compassion toward those outside the church as recorded in Acts 2:42-47.----------------------------- Thanks for checking out this sermo...
