Gospel Chapel GF

We had a great weekend at the Pines Bible Camp! Sam Dick was our guest speaker for the weekend and this is the Sunday morning message. Apologies for the audio quality, and also the camera memory card ended up full, so we missed the conclusion of the message... but there's good stuff here ;) 

One of our church members, Dale Redford, shares his thoughts on the story of desperate people meeting Jesus, and what happened when they did.

God's people are to be distinct not only in the way we live and the values we hold, but in how we speak to and about one another, to be life-giving speakers, whose words are "good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear" (Eph 4:29). This is never easy or natural for recovering sin-addicts. In fact, to renounce slander and gossip might be one of the most coun...

This is perhaps the shortest message on our podcast! Our Celebration Sunday 2024 was a great time of looking back at the past ministry year. It was a lot of fun, and a great reminder that when we work together for the Gospel, we are are "the light of the world."

In this message, we walk through some history of the anabaptist movement, and reflect on the importance of baptism in the life of the church community.

Over the next few months, we will be looking at the nature and the mission of the church. Who are we as God's people? What is our role in God's story of redemption? What does a healthy church practice in attitude and action?

At the start of each quarter this year, we are focussing on one of the letters of Paul to the churches. There is a brief introduction to the letter, a reading of the letter, and then a few observations as to the overall message of the letter for us today.

Rob Thiessen, our BCMB Conference Minister, shares with us that no matter what happens in life, culture, or the church, we need to live worthy of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. How we navigate difficult seasons in our relationships is important and we need to consider how the Gospel should inform our conflicts.

In our fourth Sunday in this series we complete our study of Genesis 1:26-28. "...male and female He created them." We review the basic purposes of this series, the core lessons from Galatians, and address three philosophical foundations for how our culture functions and engages in questions of meaning, purpose, and identity. This gets a bit academic and stuff...but sometimes it's where we need to...

The third message in our series on biblical human identity looks again at Genesis 1:26-28. We are created FROM community FOR community. This has implications for how we function as family, and as a church. This is a long one - and we kept the observance of communion as part of this podcast.

This second message in our series on biblical human identity returns to Genesis 1:26-28 and 2:15. God's initial purpose for humanity, our core created vocation, is to hold dominion over creation and subdue it as royal rulers, while at the same time guarding it and keeping it as serving priests.

This is the first in an 11 week series looking at the question of human identity. We start at the beginning...
