Campbell River Baptist Church

Speaker: Ryan Davis  This episode we explored how “Sharing the Gospel” is an integral part of growing as a disciple, and how we can battle the anxieties and insecurities that often hinder that sharing. Come join us as we learn to be the salt and light in this dark and tasteless world. As we learn to live in this radical new way, we will draw those who are far from God toward Jesus. We believe...

Speaker - Steve Edelman. Throughout our lives, each one of us is presented with trials and pain and grief. What are we to do with our suffering? Avoid it? Numb it? This episode Pastor Steve will show us how God can use our suffering as a means for good! Suffering can be like a refining fire. With our invitation, God is able to do the necessary pruning to our branches so they can produce fruit. It’...

Speaker: Steve Edelman  This episode we look at the things in our lives that will not produce good growth, the things that instead can choke us like weeds, shadow us from the sunshine, or harden the earth around us. These false gods might even be good things in our life. An idol is anything that becomes more important than God. Pastor Steve will look at the idols in our life. He encourages us...

On our fifth week of the GROW series we are looking to answer the question: "Who are you in Christ?" John 1:12 says "Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God." One of the beautiful gifts that comes from an abiding life of a disciple is learning how to live as a child of God. Join us this week as we welcome Ch...

Speaker: Steve Edelman.  This episode, as we continue our GROW series, Pastor Steve will be talking about what it means to “be” with God. In Psalm 46 it says “Be still and know that I am God”. How can we learn to be still? Sometimes we get out of sync, and everything just feels like a struggle. Our efforts can become more desperate than intentional. More frantic than planned. More entertainme...

Speaker: Brian Down This episode, Brian brings us a challenging question to ponder. Is being saved by Jesus the same thing as being a disciple of Jesus? Check out the podcast where we'll learn how Jesus trains his disciples and what it means to have a deeper spiritual walk. We look forward to being with you!

Let’s run this race together! This episode, Pastor Steve will be talking about rhythms that help us love God and others in the chaos of life. The Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 9:24 -27 compares Christians to runners signed up for a race. He says if we are signed up for the race, then everyone must run! Running the race can be likened to growing in Christ. Perhaps you feel as though you need a bett...

Speaker: Steve Edelman This episode, we explore what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. If you’ve been a Christian for a while, you have probably heard someone say that they want to “go deeper.” Well, what does it mean to go deeper? Over the next 12 weeks our prayer for this church is that we learn to GROW, that we find clarity on what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. We will explore everythin...

Speaker: Steve Edelman This Sunday, we will dive into the relationship between prayer and the armour of God with Pastor Steve. We will see how deeply we need the power of prayer in our life. Without prayer, we are going to fail in this fight. The armour, the skills, the systems, the resources are not enough on their own. You can’t win the battle with your refined efforts, knowledge and strength. Y...

Speaker: Steve Edelman This episode, we continue our sermon series called “War for your soul,” addressing the sword of the Spirit.  The final part of the armour of God is not a high-tech, long-range weapon but a sword that is wielded with precision in close combat. This means that if we are going to defeat our temptations and seek to live fruitful, holy lives, then we will need to get up clos...

Speaker: Brian Down This Episode, Brian Down kicks off the New Year by continuing the "War For Your Soul" and exploring the verses relating to the Shield of Faith and Helmet of Salvation. Let's see how God's plans for our protection are a hope and inspiration to believers. Shake off the dust of 2021 and celebrate what God is making new. Let one of your resolutions this year be to join us in worshi...

Speaker: Brian Down This episode, with the warmth of Christmas cheer still shining on our faces, we were excited to return to our sermon series called “War For Your Soul”. This section of Ephesians famously describes the Armour of God, and this week we will explore verse 15 in detail, the Sandals of Peace. Brian was back to deliver the message, so click now to see what God placed on his heart to s...

Speaker: Steve Edelman. This year's Christmas Eve message includes reflections on the similarity between Mary and Joseph's journey to Bethlehem and the struggle we have faced in 2020. It invites us all to make room in our hearts for the coming of the King.  Come let us adore Him, Christ the King!

Speaker: Steve Edelman.  This episode, we will continue our sermon series called “The Weary World Rejoices,” and we will be looking at the names of Jesus and ultimately how He is love. We all forget who God is and what He has done for us from one day to another. Like you, I too must remind myself each year who Jesus is and why His birth is so incredible—not because my mind doesn’t know but be...

Speaker: Steve Edelman. This week we will be talking about the gifts given to Christ because He is worthy. What can we give to God and others this Christmas season?

Speaker: Steve Edelman.  Continuing our sermon series called “The Weary World Rejoices,” speaking on the glorious announcement of Christ. Harrison Warren says, “To practice Advent is to lean into an almost cosmic ache: our deep, wordless desire for things to be made right and the incompleteness we find in the meantime.” But when the glory of God shines down on the cosmic ache, everything chan...

Speaker: Chris Coon. Advent is a season that we celebrate the birth of Christ and wait in hope for the coming of the Messiah. It is a time of preparing our hearts and our homes for Christmas joy. However, we recognize that the world is not all as it should be. While this is the case every year, this feels especially true in 2021. Many are tired, grieved, and burnt out. We may feel weary, but we ar...
