Sermons - Wallenstein Bible Chapel

Thanksgiving Sunday Our guest speaker, Mark Hockley, spoke from Jonah 3. Some people seem so far from God that real heart change feels impossible. This was true of the Ninevites in Jonah's day. Yet God sent him to share the gospel with these people. When Jonah finally obeyed, God did a miracle, and changed the hearts of the people of Nineveh. They repented and God did not destroy their city. The s...

Sermon Series: Learning to Think Like Jesus Our guest speaker, Scott Stein, spoke about the ultimate goal of all of Jesus' thoughts. All that He thought and said and did, He did for the glory of God. We too are to live for God's glory.

Sermon Series: Learning to Think Like Jesus Guest speaker, Scott Stein unpacked the question What informed Jesus’ understanding? It was the Bible’s grand story that informed His thinking. Everything He did or said was filtered through the metanarrative of Scripture. Our thinking, as well, needs to be based on God’s revealed truth.

Sermon Series: Learning to Think Like Jesus Our guest speaker, Scott Stein, asks this question: What enabled Jesus' mind? He explores the doctrine of the incarnation, specifically Jesus' divinity and His humanity. Yes, Jesus was fully God, but He also was fully human. This means He had a fully human mind. So what enabled Him to think God's thoughts after Him? Scripture tells us that Jesus was the...

Sermon Series: Learning to Think Like Jesus Guest speaker, Scott Stein from Prepared to Answer, reminded us that we are not to be conformed to the pattern of this world, but instead to be transformed by the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:2). He challenged us to learn to think like Jesus. All Jesus thought and said and did was motivated by His love for the Father - this was the heart of Jesus. We...

Andreas Dimond, our Managing Pastor, reminded us of our calling to be "All for Christ." Through the example of the life of the Apostle Paul, we are called to surrender all for Christ, be all together for Christ, reach all for Christ, all for Christ's glory.

Sermon Series: Summer in the Psalms Our guest speaker, David Barker, encouraged us to make the lament psalms a part or our personal and corporate worship. These psalms are passionate prayers from a place of pain that end in hope and trust. We are invited to cry out to God, making our appeal for Him to act, and rest in His sovereign care.

As the people of God, seeking to appropriately express our faith and worship for the glory of God, we are invited to use the best tools available …one hundred and fifty carefully crafted prayers that allow us to answer, proclaim, pray to, and worship our gracious heavenly Father and glorious King.

Sermon Series: Summer in the Psalms Our guest speaker, Kris Konig, spoke about praising God from Psalm 145. He showed us how this Psalm reveals who God is, what He has done and what we are to do in response.

Sermon Series: Summer in the Psalms Our guest speaker, Jeff Martin, spoke about wisdom from Psalm 19. Wisdom is living rightly in response to God's truth. Psalm 19 tells us that God reveals Himself in two ways: in nature and in Scripture. Nature proclaims the splendour of the Glory of God, and Scripture gives us a fuller understanding of who God is.

Sermon Series: Summer in the Psalms Our Managing Pastor, Andreas Dimond, spoke about the joy of forgiveness from Psalm 32. Sin is the biggest problem facing humanity, but through genuine confession we can receive forgiveness and experience the blessing of an intimate relationship with our Father. We can choose to hide our sin or make God our hiding place.

Sermon Series: Summer in the Psalms Our guest speaker, Dan Allen, encourages us from Psalm 139 to have a high view of God. He is omniscient - He knows us completely. He is omnipresent - He is always with us. He is omnipotent - He has wonderfully created us. And He is omni-righteous - He is constantly working in us.

Sermon Series: Summer in the Psalms Our guest speaker, Matt Robinson, spoke from Psalm 20. Psalm 20 is a royal psalm, and it reminds us that we can have hope because we have faith in our King. It seems as if this psalm was written for Israel on the eve of battle. Israel needed to have confidence in their king as he led them into battle. King David was a man after God’s own heart and he had faith i...

Our guest speaker, Roger Pascoe, introduces the book of Psalms by describing the literary structure. Psalm 1 describes two people and two destinies. It gives us characteristics of both the godly and the ungodly. May we all be like the tree planted by streams of water, daily meditating on the Word of God and following hard after Jesus.

Our guest speaker, Roger Pascoe, reminds us of the confidence, courage and comfort found in Psalm 23. The Lord is our faithful Shepherd whom we can confidently trust in all our circumstances.

Our guest speaker, Doug Loveday, highlighted the work of the Trinity from Ephesians 1:1-14. God the Father has blessed us with spiritual blessings, choosing us from the foundation of the world to be adopted into His family. This is possible through Jesus the Son, who redeemed us with His blood. At salvation we were sealed with the Holy Spirit, who is a guarantee of our future inheritance. Doug rem...

Sermon Series: Cross Over Our guest speaker, Darcy Dueck, wrapped up our sermon series on salvation by talking about union with Christ, the foundational doctrine of salvation. He encouraged us to build our identity on who we are in Christ, which is a good foundation. He reminded us that our union with Christ is good news, and we must continue to develop good habits as we abide in Christ.

Sermon Series: Cross Over Our guest speaker, Phil Barnes, reminded us that true salvation leads to sanctification. We are progressively made holy as we cooperate with the Spirit of God in our lives. God is faithful, and He will finish the work of sanctification. Our role is to actively say no to sin and strive to live a holy life.

Sermon Series: Cross Over Guest speaker, Randy Hoffman, shared about the beautiful aspect of reconciliation in salvation. God, through Christ, has restored us into a right relationship with Himself. As sinners, our relationship with God is broken. But God moved first by sending His Son to die for us. Our response is to receive this reconciliation with joy and then tell others about it.

Sermon Series: Cross Over Guest speaker, Adam Hockley, spoke about our anointing as an aspect of our salvation. In Old Testament times, prophets, priests and kings were anointed with oil to be set apart for God's special purposes. When Jesus came, He was anointed with the Holy Spirit to proclaim good news and perfectly fulfill the roles of prophet, priest and king. As believers, we too are anointe...

Sermon Series: Cross Over Guest speaker, Doug Loveday, spoke about the adoption aspect of our salvation. In Christ we are adopted in God's family, accepted in the beloved and adored by our good Father. At the fall, humanity rebelled and ran from God, and the rest of Scripture is the story of God wanting His kids back and providing a way for us to be with Him. As believers, we are not just forgiven...

Sermon Series: Cross Over Guest speaker, Matt Robinson, talked about what it means to be justified in salvation. We stand completely guilty before God, the righteous Judge. But in His infinite grace and mercy, as our guilt was credited to Christ on the cross, He gave us His righteousness. Now we stand before God clothed in the righteousness of Christ. 

Sermon Series: Cross Over Guest speaker, Kris Konig describes the amazing gift of forgiveness we have in Christ. Every person is born with a sin nature, separated from God. We have missed the mark of the glory of God. But through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is available to us. God cleans the dirt of our sin and erases the debt it causes. His mercy is freely given to those who repent. This causes...

Sermon Series: Cross Over In salvation, God has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of light. We were unable to rescue ourselves, enslaved by the god of this world. As we consider what we've been rescued from and the inheritance that is ours in the kingdom of light, we respond with joyful gratitude. 

Sermon Series: Cross Over Our teaching pastor, Gary Goodkey, spoke about conversion from John 5:24. This verse says that those who have experienced genuine salvation have crossed over from death to life. The first humans Adam and Eve, lived in the presence of God, experiencing His blessings. But when they chose to rebel against God's commands, they moved out from under His rule and blessing, choos...
