Centre Church

Date: August 31, 2014 Speaker: Norm Funk Although short and often forgotten Jude offers key and altogether relevant teaching regarding the dangers of false teachers and the Christian's call in response. This is part I of a two part series that will address this topic.

Speaker: Norm Funk Date: August 24 2014 Text: 3 John 9-15 In II John the Apostle warns about false teachers on the outside, in this sermon coming out of III John we look at John's warning about self-serving evil leaders on the inside.

Speaker: Matt Menzel Date: August 17 2014 Text: 3 John 1-8 In the first half of 3 John the apostle commends a man named Gaius in order to spur him on in his ministry. Through this ancient encouragement those in Jesus are inspired by both the heart of John and the life of Gaius.

Speaker: Matt Menzel Date: August 10, 2014 Text: 2 John 4-13 In the remainder of 2 John the apostle wants to be clear about exactly what walking in the truth accomplishes in the lives of believers. He wants his readers to understand that the truth of the gospel alters our behavior, affects our relationships, and awards us with joy.

Speaker: Matt Menzel Date: August 3rd 2014 Text: 2 John 1-3 The letter of second John is a powerful call for the Church of Jesus to stand for truth in a world that desires the exact opposite. As we open this letter we will examine whether the way of our culture or the way of the gospel will ultimately lead us to the universal human desires of love, unity, and salvation.

Speaker: Matt Menzel Date: July 27 2014 Text: Philemon 8-25 As we continue unpacking Paul's letter to Philemon we will examine the extreme request being made of him. We will notice that God's grace not only frees believers to love and forgive but it also compels them to die to self.

Speaker: Norm Funk Date: July 20 2014 Text: Philemon 1-7 In this kick off to a new series we look at the book of Philemon, a small and unique book, that in a most personal way addresses the all important topic of forgiveness.

Speaker: Norm Funk Date: July 13 2014 Text: Luke 7:11-17 Luke 7:11-17 records one of the greatest miracles of Jesus but the text is greater still if we see how it reveals the beautiful aspects of Jesus' ministry and why He came to us.

Speaker: Norm Funk Date: July 6 2014 Text: Romans 16 As we close down our almost 2 year study of Romans we wrap things up by looking at Paul's final greetings, warning and doxology.

Speaker: Matt Menzel Date: June 29 2014 Text: Romans 15:14-33 With the main body of his letter to the church in Rome complete, Paul now turns his attention to some final thoughts about the ministry entrusted to him as well as an appeal for the saints in Rome to partner with him for the sake of the gospel.

Speaker: Norm Funk Date: June 22 2014 Text: Romans 15:8-13 In this message Paul sums up his teaching on the weak and the strong and the call to welcome one another, doing so with one of the most precious benedictions in the Bible.

Speaker: Norm Funk Date: June 15 2014 Text: Romans 15:1-7 In this ongoing discussion on the weak and the strong Paul addresses how the church is able to bear with one another and in so doing, also points out those things the church is to be known for.

Speaker: Norm Funk Date: June 8, 2014 Text: Romans 14:13-23 The church is made up of all sorts - men, women; older, younger; rich, poor - including the weak and the strong in faith. In this text Paul instructs the strong in how they should respond to the weak.

Speaker: Matt Menzel Date: June 1st 2014 Text: Romans 14:1-12 In Jesus believers have received an inheritance which includes an immense amount of freedom. Freedom mishandled, however, can be used at times to mask self-centredness. How are we to know when love should trump freedom? And what aspects of the gospel show us that love for our brothers and sisters may mean limiting the amount of freedom...

Speaker: Norm Funk Date: May 25 2014 Text: Romans 13:8-14 Although we would all love to live debt free there is one debt that we are to always live under. This message addresses why.

Speaker: Norm Funk Date: May 18 2014 Text: Romans 13:1-7 What's a Christian's response to be to those in authority? Especially to those whose authority is being abused? This message addresses those questions.

Speaker: Norm Funk Date: May 11 2014 Text: Romans 12:9-21 Paul continues showing us what a transformed life looks like, this time in how relates to those within the family of God - the church - and how it responds, as well, to the enemies of it.

Speaker: Norm Funk Date: May 4 2014 Text: Romans 12:3-8 What does spiritual transformation look like in the life of a follower of Jesus? It looks like service as an act of worship.

Speaker: Norm Funk Date: April 27 2014 Text: Romans 12:1-2 A transition takes place as we enter chapter 12, a chapter where Paul calls us to an expected response in light of God's mercies.

Speaker: Norm Funk Date: April 20 2014 Text: John 20

Speaker: Norm Funk Date: April 18 2014 This Good Friday both of Westside's campuses came together in a joint gathering at Westsides Vancouver Campus. This is the sermon audio from that event.

Speaker: Matt Menzel Date: April 13 2014 Text: Matthew 21:1-11 On Palm Sunday we look at Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. The people were expecting a conquering king to lay waste to their enemies but they never expected the Messiah to accomplish that on such a grand scale. Which begs the question, how do we respond when Jesus doesn't submit to our plans for Him?

Speaker: Norm Funk Date: April 6 2014 Text: John 13:31-35

Speaker: Norm Funk Date: Mar 30 2014 Text: John 13:1-17 Few events are more stunning and yet as misunderstood as the footwashing of Jesus. An event that serves as a display of Jesus' love, a symbol of His death and example for us to follow.

Speaker: Matt Menzel Date: Mar 23 2014 Text: John 1:1-18, Philippians 2:1-11
