CHBC Sermons

As we continue in our summer sermon series on the Fruit of the Spirit, we'll explore how God wants to grow His love within us. We see this quality revealed in the story found in Luke 7:36-50 where Jesus' feet are washed at a Pharisees house by a sinful woman. He shares the parable of two people who owed money being forgiven...one a small amount, one a large amount. His point is the one w...

This sermon will launch our new series, "Keeping in Step: A Summer Series on the Fruit of the Spirit." We'll set the stage for the sermons to follow by understanding the freedom that comes from walking in step with the Holy Spirit.

Psalm 103 reminds us that one of the great dangers of the Christian life is forgetting God's faithfulness, which is why David tells his own soul, "Forget not all His benefits." Before we come to the Lord's Table and confess our faith together in the Nicene Creed, we'll take a few minutes to remember and give thanks for the ways God has been at work in our lives and church...

The story of the Bible begins with humanity at home with God in a good and beautiful creation, but through sin we became exiles — restless, fractured, and longing for something this world can never fully provide. Yet through Jesus, God is bringing His people home again: not by abandoning creation, but by renewing it completely in the "life of the world to come."

This sermon explores the Nicene Creed’s declaration, “We look forward to the resurrection of the dead,” through the lens of 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18 and 1 Corinthians 15:50–58. Rooted in the hope of Christ’s return and the promise of bodily resurrection, it highlights how the Holy Spirit — “the Lord, the giver of life” — raised Jesus from the dead, now dwells in believers, and will one day raise us...

When fear tells us to run because the foundations are collapsing, faith lifts our eyes to the God who still reigns, still sees, still refines, and still welcomes His people into His presence.

This week in our We Believe series, we’ll explore what the Bible teaches about baptism — why Jesus calls His followers to it, what it symbolizes, and why it’s such an important step of obedience and public faith.

This message will begin by recognizing how difficult it is for believers to say "I believe in the Church," while also digging into what we mean when we say it. We'll be reminded that Jesus is building His Church (Matthew 16:18) - a Church that is one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. We'll also reflect on the part we each play in living out these descriptions.

This sermon will explore the words of the Creed, "He (the Holy Spirit) spoke through the prophets." We'll consider how the Holy Spirit still speaks to us today and uses the Scriptures that He inspired to shape us into the likeness of Jesus.

This morning, we'll return to our series, “We Believe” and focus on the person of the Holy Spirit. We'll look at how the Scriptures show He is Lord (both a person and God) and the Giver of Life.

This morning we have the blessing of hosting a visit from Bruce & Raewyn Wiebe (Wycliffe Bible Translators)

This Easter, our portion of the Nicene Creed will point us to three simple but life-changing truths: Jesus rose, Jesus reigns, and Jesus will return. We'll walk through the resurrection story and why there are good reasons to believe it actually happened. From there, we'll lift our eyes to what it means now and where it’s all going: Jesus is alive and ruling today, and one day He will co...

In this sermon, we examine the Nicene Creed's confession that Jesus “was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate,” emphasizing that the cross is a real event grounded in human history. We'll explore the meaning of His suffering and death, seeing how the cross reveals both the depth of our sin and the depth of God’s love. We'll also consider all that Christ accomplished for us through...

In this sermon, we will walk through the powerful story of Jesus raising Lazarus. As Jesus arrives in Bethany after Lazarus has died, we see a remarkable picture of who He truly is. On the one hand, we see His deep humanity — He grieves with Mary and Martha and even weeps at the tomb. On the other hand, we see His divine authority as He calls Lazarus out of the grave and demonstrates His power ove...

This sermon shows that Jesus is fully human — born, growing, tempted, weary, and dying —so that He can truly represent us, sympathize with our struggles, and intercede for us as our righteous High Priest. Because He has lived the life we could not, He stands before the Father on our behalf, offering mercy, advocacy, and hope to all who turn to Him.

This Sunday we relaunch We Believe by turning our attention to the Son and asking the question that shook the early church: Who is Jesus? Tracing the road from Pentecost to the First Council of Nicaea, we’ll see why the Nicene Creed speaks so carefully of Christ as “God from God… true God from true God… of the same essence as the Father.” Walking through key biblical texts, we’ll see that Scriptur...

This message will interact with various texts about the Lord's Supper, helping us to see the way that it looks backward (in remembrance), inward (through self-examination), around (in fellowship), upward (with thanksgiving), outward (through proclamation), and forward (with expectation). We'll also connect these themes to some of the confessions of the Nicene Creed.

Meet our candidate for the vacant Pastor of Ministry Development position: Scott Ross.

This short sermon will focus on Jesus' teaching about the Father in the Sermon on the Mount, specifically our battle against worry.

This sermon will reflect on God the Father through what Jesus taught us about Him in the Lord's Prayer.

This sermon, primarily interacting with the opening chapters of Genesis, will celebrate God's creation and explore what it means for us today as we groan for all things to one day be made new.

Through Psalm 62, Curtis’ personal testimony, and other Scriptures that speak of our Almighty Father, we'll see that we can trust Him no matter what we're going through. He is our refuge and strong tower. And because He is both strong enough to save and loving enough to hold us, we can pour out our hearts to Him in every season of life.

This sermon will show from Scripture that God is one in essence and three in persons. Through a chronological walk through of the Bible, we'll see the Trinity revealed — not invented — as the heart of Christian faith. We'll also wrestle with the reality that at the centre of the universe is a loving Relationship that we are invited into.

This opening sermon introduces the Nicene Creed as a faithful guide for understanding what Scripture teaches about God. Rather than replacing the Bible, the creed helps the church confess clearly who He is — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — especially in a time of confusion. My hope is to help the congregation to see doctrine not as dry information, but as a gift that anchors our faith, unites the C...

Israel had been enslaved in Egypt for over 400 years. God rescued them through Moses in dramatic fashion — plagues, the Red Sea, freedom they did nothing to earn. But instead of entering the Promised Land immediately, they spent 40 years in the wilderness, a harsh and dry place where they learned daily dependence on God. Now, a new generation stood at the edge of the Promised Land. Moses was about...
