Cobourg Alliance Messages

Speaker: Pastor Darryl Buckle --- This week at Cobourg Alliance we’re talking about one of the ancient practices of the early church that transformed their world and might hold the key for you to live a life of purpose on the street where you live.

Speaker: Pastor Tyler Tavares --- In God's vision for life, who is my neighbour? We might end up surprised at the answer to this question... When we think about the word neighbour we usually think about the person who lives right next door or across the street. But could it mean more?

Speaker: Pastor Tyler Tavares --- Are you giving prayer the "old college try?" When you pray, does it feel like you're just following a routine or even just talking to yourself for no reason? Prayer can bring spiritual healing, but how can we do it the right way?

Speaker: Pastor Darryl Buckle --- How long are you willing to wait for something truly important? It's easy when you know when it's coming, but are you still patient when you haven't been given a time and date? Don't lose patience, because what we need might be right around the corner.

Speaker: Pastor Tyler Tavares --- You've gained, you've saved... but what are you giving? James has a lot to say about the wealthy, and he isn't just congratulating them on their success!

Speaker: Raja Stone --- I don’t think I’m a proud person - how would I know if I am? What’s so dangerous about pride, anyway?

Speaker: Raja Stone --- Everyone has an idea of what a wise person looks like, but what does it really mean to be wise? What is the difference between wisdom and intelligence, and how do we become wiser? If only someone had written a convenient checklist…

Speaker: Raja Stone --- Whether by tongue or by tweet, speech can be one of the most powerful and dangerous things on earth; what we say is more than just the words that come out of our mouths. Join us for part five of our summer series, Paparazzi: Following Jesus in a Watching World, when Raja walks us through how we use our tongues in a world where everything we say reflects on us—and Jesus.

Speaker: Raja Stone --- What is more important to being a Christ follower - our belief, or what we do with it? If we are saved by faith, why does our behaviour matter?

Speaker: Dave Enns --- In week 3 of our summer series called Paparazzi, we look at James 2:1-13, and the critical truth of favouritism: we shouldn’t discriminate against anyone based on their outward appearances or circumstances, but instead show love to all people.

Speaker: Pastor Darryl Buckle --- In week 2 of our summer series called Paparazzi, we're asking the question: How do people of faith behave as they follow Jesus - now that how you behave doesn’t make you right with God?

Speaker: Pastor Darryl Buckle --- As we kick off a brand new teaching series called Paparazzi: Following Jesus in a Watching World, Pastor Darryl takes us to James 1 and reminds us that every trial, and every test comes with a different gift - if you let perseverance finish its work.

Speaker: Pastor Darryl Buckle --- Today in honour of Dads, we’re looking at the character of a great Father by talking about one of the greatest stories and sermons that Jesus ever told.

Speaker: Dan & Jenica van Essen --- Dan and Jenica are preparing to return to Mexico and invite us on the journey. Last week they shared the "Big Why" for missions and this week they ask the question, "Now What?" We each get to embrace a role in God's big adventure of calling all people groups to join the feast at His table.

Speaker: Dan & Jenica van Essen --- Dan and Jenica are preparing to return to Mexico City and invite us on the journey. This week they share the "Big Why" - the vision and motivation that compels the global church on mission to the very ends of the earth.

Speaker: Gloria Mathies --- When we promise "till death do us part," it's like driving a stake in the ground. What do you do when you know the right thing to do is stay in your marriage but don't know how to do that anymore? When you've tried everything, and nothing seems to change? When it looks like your marriage is losing the war? How do you keep the stake in the ground wh...

Speaker: Pastor Darryl Buckle --- This week Pastor Darryl shares some practical and very specific things that you can practice to help shift the focus of your attention and the object of your priority to be a better lover of your spouse.

Speaker: Pastor Darryl Buckle --- Ever feel like everything you thought you knew about marriage was wrong?  In week 2 of our new series, Sucker for Love, Pastor Darryl shares with us why you feel this way. Hint, hint... It's because you don't have a clue! After all, marriage is a profound and sacred mystery. If you approach it with humility, you’ll learn a lot more and God will use your ma...

Speaker: Pastor Tyler Tavares --- I'm sorry — come again? Submit to my spouse? Ephesians 5 can get us all riled up when we're focused on the trees, but God's beautiful vision for marriage starts to emerge when we begin by focusing on the forest. Join us Sunday, May 9th, at 10am for week one in our new series, Sucker for Love!

Speaker: Simon Chorley --- How do we create space, be still, and listen for God's voice amidst so much uncertainty? What can we learn from the Old Testament prophet Elijah, the New Testament disciple Mary, and even Jesus himself?

Speaker: James Bisson --- Have you ever struggled to forgive an offence? As we continue with part three in our series, I'll Do It Tomorrow, we'll look at forgiveness and why it is always urgent and extremely important and something that we should never put off till tomorrow.

Speaker: Pastor Darryl Buckle --- It doesn’t matter how smart, or kind, or winsome, or agreeable you are. It doesn't matter how emotionally intelligent or "zen" like grass bending and flowing with the wind you try to be, challenging conversations, confrontations or just plain conflict are going to be a part of your relationships. You can't put this kind of stuff off forever.

Speaker: Pastor Darryl Buckle --- This week we're kicking off a brand new series called "I'll do it tomorrow." For the next four weeks, we're going to talk about four things that are always urgent and extremely important and what happens when you try to put off till tomorrow what needs to be done today! In Week one, we're talking about the cure for the hard-heartedness th...

Speaker: Pastor Darryl Buckle --- 2000 years ago, God raised Jesus of Nazareth from the dead!  Ever since we have been celebrating how God does the unbelievable in even the most unimaginable circumstances—Easter is Hope!

Speaker: Lee Beach --- In the final week of our series SHE: Women of the Bible and their stories, we walk through the story of Esther, a woman of remarkable faith and faithfulness in a season that stretched her beyond imagination.
