In this message, we look at Joel 2:28 and the promise of God: “I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh.” Whether we are discouraged by how little we’ve changed or drifting because life has become comfortable, the invitation of God remains the same—to return, surrender, and depend fully on the Holy Spirit. Through Joel 2:28–29, Acts 2:1–21, Acts 1:8, Acts 4:29–31, Luke 6:24–25, James 1:2–4, and Phil...

In this sermon, “Jesus Is Enough,” we study Colossians 1:15–20 and Paul’s declaration that Christ is supreme over creation, sufficient for salvation, and the fullness of God’s presence. Against the false teaching in Colossae, Paul points the church back to the gospel: not Jesus plus religious performance, spiritual experiences, angels, or extra requirements—but Christ alone. Through Colossians 1:1...

In this sermon from our At Your Word series, we conclude Abraham’s journey of faith in Genesis 22, where God tests Abraham and calls him to offer Isaac on Mount Moriah. Through one of Scripture’s most sobering and powerful moments, we see that God tests His people not to destroy them, but to strengthen and purify their faith. Abraham’s declaration—“God himself will provide” (Genesis 22:8)—points u...

In this message from the “At Your Word” series, we look at Genesis 18:1–19 and ask: “God, what do You want?” Through Abraham’s encounter with the Lord near the trees of Mamre, we see that God’s will is not meant to trap us in fear or indecision, but to form us into people of faith—people who keep “the way of the Lord” by doing righteousness and justice. Genesis 18 shows us that God desires a peopl...

In this sermon, “Make Room,” we continue our At Your Word series with a message from Genesis 13:1–18 , where Abram and Lot face a moment of apparent scarcity. The land could not support both households, and quarreling arose between their herders. But the crisis was more than a problem—it was a test of faith. Abram responds with open-handed trust, giving Lot the first choice of land, while Lot resp...

In this message, we continue our series on faith through the life of Abram, focusing on Genesis 15:1–6 and the “crisis of comprehension”—those moments when we believe God’s promise but cannot understand how He will fulfill it. Abram is 85, still childless, and wrestling with the gap between God’s word and his present reality. Yet Genesis 15:6 tells us, “Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it...

In this sermon from Genesis 12:1–4, we begin the series At Your Word by looking at the call of Abram and what it means to walk by faith. Abraham’s story shows us a better way to live—not by the pattern of “see, desire, take” seen throughout Scripture, but by the way of faith: hear, trust, obey . From Genesis 3:6 to Genesis 6:1–2, Joshua 7:20–21, and 2 Samuel 11:2–4, Scripture reveals the destructi...

In this sermon, we continue exploring the biblical foundation for tithing—this time through the lens of righteousness and justice. From Proverbs 8:17–21 to the life of Abraham in Genesis 14–15, we see that honoring God with the first and best is not merely a law-code practice, but part of a well-ordered relationship with God that predates the Mosaic Law. Wisdom walks “in the way of righteousness,...

In this sermon, Pastor Jake teaches on the biblical wisdom of tithing from Proverbs 3:9–10: “Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops…” Rather than asking, “Am I required to tithe?” this message reframes the question: “What is the wisest thing I can do with the money God has entrusted to me?” Rooted in Proverbs 3:1–10, this sermon explores how honoring God with the f...

In this sermon from Revelation 21–22, we see the Bible’s storyline of God’s presence—from Eden, to the tabernacle, to Solomon’s temple, to Christ, to the Spirit-filled church, and finally to the New Creation where “the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple” (Revelation 21:22). Humanity was made to dwell with God, enjoy His presence, and extend His glory to the ends of the earth (Genesis 1:...

In this sermon, “Better Than Expected,” we begin the final movement of Revelation by looking at Revelation 21:2, 9–18 and the breathtaking fulfillment of two major biblical themes: the bride and the city. From Israel’s unfaithfulness at Sinai to the wedding of the Lamb, and from Cain’s city and Babel’s tower to the New Jerusalem, Scripture shows that God’s final plan is better than anything we cou...

In this message on Revelation 20, we explore the binding of Satan, the millennium, the final judgment, and the promise of a new creation where chaos is finally and forever removed. Revelation unveils the deeper spiritual reality behind the world we live in: Satan is defeated but still active, the church is empowered to overcome, and the way of the Lamb leads to life. Key Scriptures: Revelation 20:...

In this sermon, we walk through Psalm 51 and David’s desperate prayer after his sin with Bathsheba, seeing the mercy of God, the seriousness of repentance, and the joy of salvation that only God can restore. From David’s cry, “Create in me a clean heart” (Psalm 51:10), we are invited to move beyond excuses and return to God with honesty, humility, and expectation. This message explores how salvati...

In this sermon on Revelation 19, we hear heaven’s “Hallelujah” over the fall of Babylon and the wedding supper of the Lamb. Revelation unveils the truth that God’s salvation and judgment are not opposed—His judgment against evil is part of His saving work for His people. Revelation 19:1-21 shows Jesus as the Faithful and True rider on the white horse, judging with justice and conquering by the swo...

In this challenging and hope-filled message, we explore a startling line from Isaiah 59:16—“He was amazed that there was no one interceding”—and ask what it means for God to be “shocked” that no one is praying. Far from a guilt trip, this sermon is a passionate invitation to step into our priestly calling as intercessors (1 Peter 2:9; Revelation 1:5–6) and partner with God in His mission to our ci...

In this powerful message on pride and humility, we explore how pride rarely storms the gates of our hearts—it quietly creeps in whenever our will begins to replace God’s rule in our lives. Drawing from both Scripture and personal testimony, this sermon calls us out of self-sufficiency and into honest dependence on Jesus. Key Themes & Scriptures: The spiritual danger of pride Proverbs 16:18 – “...

In this message, “The Weight of Honor,” we explore how Scripture defines honor in a culture that often distorts it. Honor isn’t celebrity culture, blind loyalty, or manipulation—it’s recognizing the God-given weight, glory, and dignity He’s placed on every person (Psalm 8:4–5; Genesis 1:26–27). Tracing the biblical story, we see: We were created with honor (Psalm 8:4–5; Genesis 1:26–28) Humanity d...

In this message, discover how God calls every believer into “holy work” empowered by His Spirit—not just inside the church, but in creativity, business, parenting, and everyday vocation. Drawing from Colossians, Ephesians, and the sweep of the biblical story, this sermon explores: The sacred nature of work Work in Eden before the fall – Genesis 1:26–28; 2:15 Co-laboring with God in His mission – 1...

In this message, Pastor Jake unpacks Acts 19:1–10 to show how the early church multiplied through ordinary disciples clothed with extraordinary power. Beginning with Paul’s encounter with the “about twelve” in Ephesus, we see the clear biblical distinction between repentance, water baptism, and Spirit-empowerment for mission (Acts 18:24–28; Acts 19:1–7; Luke 3:16). Drawing on Luke–Acts, Pastor Jak...

In this message, Pastor Sam Picken from C3 Assembly in Toronto unpacks a robust, biblical vision of discipleship and equipping in the local church, drawing primarily from Ephesians 4 and the “net‑mending” call on every believer. Built around Ephesians 4:11–16, this sermon explores how Christ gives apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers “to equip his people for works of service, so...

In this sermon, Pastor Jake unpacks Revelation 15 and invites us to “follow the smoke” of God’s presence through the wilderness of this age. Drawing rich parallels between Revelation and the Exodus story, he shows how the same fire that judges evil (Revelation 15:1, 7–8; Exodus 9–12) becomes protection and sanctuary for those who stand in the “burned over place” of the cross (Isaiah 53:4–6; Galati...

In this sermon, Pastor Jake unpacks Revelation 14:6–13 as a discipleship manual for life in a culture drunk on self-worship. Revelation, from the Greek apokalypsis—“unveiling” (Revelation 1:1)—is shown not merely as an end-times roadmap, but as God’s revelation of heavenly reality breaking into everyday life. Walking through Revelation 13–14, this message contrasts the deceptive “unholy trinity” o...
