Forward City Church Messages

What we believe matters. As brothers and sisters in Christ, we may not always land on the exact same page about everything, but as believers, there are some important foundational truths that shape what we pursue, what we protect, what we say no to, and how we carry ourselves.  To start, we want you to know that we at Forward City Church confidently believe that God invites each of us to experienc...

We have been talking about Real Love (the Greek word 'agape', meaning unconditional love or the highest form of gracious love; the kind of love that is only perfectly demonstrated by God in His love for us). In this message we discuss what love is! "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends" - John 15:13

This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. 1 John 4:10 Note: The recording was set up to pick up from the wrong microphone. Our apologies for the echo! 

Many of our pursuits and achievements are not bad, and some are likely very honourable. However, in light of knowing Christ and becoming like him, some of these things are just not as significant.  May our external pursuits never distract or detract from the most important things, like what God desires to accomplish in our hearts.

In this message series, we are studying the life of Gideon (Judges 6-8). May you be blessed by the amazing reality that God has tremendous plans for ordinary people like Gideon; and like you and I.

I may be allowed, but will it build up or tear down? Corinth was a city of diversity in many ways, including its experiences of brokenness. Early Christians brought the good news of Jesus there, but over time, the church stopped seeking ways to bring light to the darkness. Instead, the church began to blend in.

Our brother Bechara takes us through Matthew 15:21-28, as he encourages and challenges us with stories of church planting in Arabic-speaking communities in Canada, and abroad. The church (God's people) has been commissioned to bring the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ to all nations, and it is happening because God is faithful.

We live in a culture that pushes us to the limit — do more, accomplish more, conquer more. But the more you schedule, the more you plan, and the less margin you have...and God does amazing things when we hold margin for Him.

Ephesians 5:15 -17 We live in a culture that pushes us to the limit — do more, accomplish more, conquer more. But the more you schedule, the more you plan, and the less margin you have...and...

"Honour the LORD with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce." Proverbs 3:9 We live in a culture that pushes us to the limit — do more, accomplish more, conquer more. But the more you schedule, the more you plan, and the less margin you have...and God does amazing things when we hold margin for Him.

"Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.     Remind me that my days are numbered—     how fleeting my life is. You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand.     My entire lifetime is just a moment to you;     at best, each of us is but a breath.” - Psalm 39:4-5 We live in a culture that pushes us to the limit — do more, accomplish more, conquer more. But the more you...
