In a world of counterfeits, forgeries, and fakes, it's often hard to determine what's true. The Apostle John, who knew Jesus personally, warns first-century believers of the antichrists among them, reminding them of the anointing they have to discern the Truth. Listen in as Pastor Larry continues through the book of 1st John!

One of the tests of true Christianity is not loving the world, but what does 'the world' mean? The Apostle John explains that we need to guard against the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, remembering that our citizenship is in Heaven and not in the world, which is passing away.

The way we start a difficult conversation often determines its course. In his letters, the Apostle John demonstrates a thoughtful and intentional approach to addressing sin: connection before correction. God deals with us in the same way, reminding us of His love and its power to help us obey.

Ready to take that next step in your faith walk, but don't know how? Listen in and be inspired to find the step that's right for you, and empowered with what you need to know to take it! At COG, your best days are still ahead!

How do you speak the truth in love? The Apostle John dealt with the complex subject of sin in a firm but gentle way by reminding the early church that God is light, and encouraging them to walk in it. For what light accomplishes, God can achieve in your life.

We all experienced a redirection when we encountered and surrendered our lives to Jesus. The Apostle John was an eyewitness of the miracles of Jesus, and testified of His transforming power in his letters to the early Church.  Listen in as Pastor Larry begins a new sermon series through the book of 1st John, 'The Father's Heart'!

Are you anticipating a happy new year? Regardless of your circumstances, things will be looking up so long as you are looking up. The Bible repeatedly states 'lift up your eyes' - up off your problems and onto God. Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, and the magi each had to keep their focus on God to see the miracle unfold, and so must we.  Listen in as Pastor Larry reflects on this theme on the thresho...

Do you trust in God's sovereign plan and His timing? Though ruled by Rome, God sent His Son Jesus to Israel at the right time, and in just the right way to fulfill every prophecy spoken of Him. We may not understand God's ways or timing, but let's reflect on God's sovereignty over the events of the Christmas story and in our own lives today.

Life often feels like a pressure cooker, especially during the holidays. When Mary first heard the news from Gabriel, she could have dwelt on bleak consequences and worse-case scenarios, but instead she chose to recall Scripture, stand on God's promises, and praise. Let's follow Mary's example this Christmas, focusing on worship and generosity, and trusting God to meet our needs.

Mary was a poor, teenaged girl from the humble town of Nazareth, yet she was considered 'highly favored' by God and chosen to bear the Savior of the world! Though confused and disturbed by the angel Gabriel's appearing, she drew comfort from his greeting, reassurance that the Lord was with her, and confidence to accept the news given. Listen in as AJ Crocker unpacks this intimate yet powerful mome...

Waiting is one of the hardest tests of faith. Zechariah and Elizabeth lived in a season of silence and waiting, until God sent an angel to Zechariah telling him his prayers had been heard and his wife would bear him a son in her old age. Their story reminds us that God is always working, even in silence, and His timing is always perfect. Listen in as Pastor Larry launches his Christmas series, 'Th...

While the world offers only fleeting solutions to our worries surrounding finances, relationships, health and the future, Jesus extends an invitation to a peace that is not only lasting but transformative. Listen in and discover how His words and presence can replace your worry with confidence and your fear with faith.

Are you a collector or a connector? Wealth itself is not evil, but greed is. Greed prioritizes self over service, hoarding over helping, collecting over connecting. Jesus warns us that the pursuit of more for the sake of security or status is not only shortsighted by spiritually destructive. Listen in Pastor Larry shares the lesson taught in the parable of the rich fool from Luke 12 to help us pre...

The book of Jude focuses on a battle for freedom. Not a battle that takes place on the battlefield but rather a spiritual battle that's played out in the church. The book was written to Christians facing deception and hostility, much like us today. Listen in as Pastor Larry explores Jude's warnings and encouragements, inspiring us to find strength in God's promises even in times of turmoil.

We see many promises in Scripture for those who believe in Jesus: Peace, joy, freedom, and forgiveness. But often this is not what we experience in our day-to-day lives. Jesus gave us promises but also a pathway to them: Abiding in Him. Listen in as Cher Dombowsky shares God's Word with us!

As human beings, we are subject to forgetfulness. In his letter to the early church, Jude reminds believers not to forget the history of those who compromised the truth - a reminder that is as relevant to us today as it was then. Truth must be reinforced, recalled, and repeated often so that it continues to inform our lives and those of the next generation. Listen in as Pastor Larry unpacks this t...

Anniversaries are a perfect time to reflect on the past, celebrate milestones, and give thanks for God’s faithfulness. But those content to live only in the past miss the opportunities of the present and fail to lay hold on the promise of the future. The writer of Hebrews admonishes us to keep our eyes on Jesus and run the race set before us. Listen in as Dr. Mark Williams, Third Assistant General...

We live in a world that encourages us to grumble, but as believers in Christ, we are called to live differently. Thanksgiving is an intentional decision we must make daily, regardless of suffering and trial. Jesus himself, on the night He was betrayed to be crucified, still gave thanks. Thanksgiving is powerful, building our faith and keeping us in God's will.

Is your faith under fire? The challenges are real, but the truth of the gospel remains unshakable. Like Jude, we are called to contend for the faith, to stand firm against falsehood, and to hold fast to the truth of Jesus Christ. Listen in as Pastor Larry begins a new sermon series through the book of Jude - a short letter with a powerful call to action.

As we wrap-up our series on Romans 8, we look at the closing of Paul’s argument in verses 31-39. Paul gives us great reason to celebrate the work and love of Jesus Christ. The very things that hold us secure despite the many forces at work against us. Listen in as AJ Crocker brings the Word this weekend!

Are you adopted? The Apostle Paul in Romans 8 picks up the theme of adoption from Roman culture and uses it to illustrate how we become children of God and joint-heirs with Christ through the Holy Spirit. Listen in as Pastor Larry unpacks this truth! 

Have you ever struggled to understand why God allows suffering? Romans 8 offers a perspective of endurance and hope, reminding us that the challenges of this present life pale in comparison to the eternal glory that awaits those who believe in Jesus. Furthermore, this present pain has great purpose: to grow us and make us more like Christ. Listen in as Pastor Dwight Cameron unpacks this incredible...

Being a Christian means having a new life: a life transformed and lived in the Spirit. Those who live according to the flesh are enslaved to their sinful nature, but those who set their minds on the things of the Spirit walk in God's righteousness and believe He will meet their needs. So ask yourself, are you living according to the flesh, or are you living according to the Spirit?

In Canada, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees our fundamental freedom of religion, a liberty we must never take for granted. In a greater way, the Holy Spirit offers us liberty from the control of sin on us, offering us forgiveness and goodness. Yet to receive the fullness of this freedom we must continually surrender ourselves to the Holy Spirit's power.
