How to be Satisfied in Life 30.09.2019 35:46

We all deeply desire satisfaction. There is no shortage of opportunities to 'buy' satisfaction in our culture, but when so much satisfaction tends to be temporary at best and damaging at worst, we're can be left feeling disillusioned, confused, and even hurt. This all stands in contrast to a promise from Jesus that there are some people who will be eternally satisfied by God. What i...

The Strength Of Meekness 22.09.2019 34:25

Meekness is often associated with being fearfully quiet or cowardly, but is that the truth? Jesus said the meek will inherit the earth, but how do we understand that in a world where the arrogant and proud seem to so often get ahead? Support the show

Are Those Who Mourn Really "Blessed"? 15.09.2019 34:16

Isn't having a reason to mourn the very opposite of being blessed? Mourning can be excruciating, but there's one thing we can mourn that Jesus promises will lead us to the fullness of life with God. Support the show

Blessed Are The Poor In Spirit 08.09.2019 35:11

We all want a 'blessed' life. However, the things we convince ourselves will bring us blessings often end up robbing us of joy and can even leave us feeling trapped. What is required for a truly blessed life, and why is this first beatitude Jesus teaches so important? Support the show

No Greater King - Series Intro 01.09.2019 45:00

The language may be sound spiritual, but we all want a "blessed" life. There's no shortage of spiritual leaders who offer that very thing. The blessed life that Jesus speaks about in Matthew 5 may not sound very blessed, at least not at first. Our new series on Jesus's Sermon on the Mount look at how Jesus describes what it is to be truly blessed, and how the Kingdom of God is...

You Need to Slow Down 28.07.2019 40:28

Life can be busy, as in really busy. Tragically, busyness is one of the greatest threats to closeness. This applies not only to closeness with family and friends, but also closeness to God. The Bible speaks often about the importance of slowing down and being silent before God. In this sermon from Grace City Church in Ottawa, Rich Crosby looks at why slowing down and being silent are spiritual dis...

A Prayerful Church 21.07.2019 27:26

It is hard to find someone who would say that prayer is wrong. However, many would question whether prayer is truly effective. When it comes to Christianity, many Christians themselves would admit to having a prayer life that is either non-existent or is very tough. What is the essence of prayer and why does prayer matter? Is time with God in prayer something that should be pursued? In this sermon...

Unity of the Spirit 14.07.2019 37:10

Jesus prayed that his church would be united, but we don't need to look hard to see where disunity can be rampant among Christians and in churches. Why is unity among Christians something Jesus himself prayed for? What is it that Christians should unite around, and are there appropriate times to not be united? In this sermon from Grace City Church Ottawa, Rich Crosby concludes our series on t...

The Heart of Worship 07.07.2019 41:14

Every one of us is a worshipper. Money, sex, career, travel, image, our bodies, our families or friends, a charity or a cause... the list could go on and on. Above all of these things, we were made to worship God. Is God insecure in desiring worship from us? For many Christians, why does worshipping God feel like such a chore? Listen to this sermon from Grace City Church in Ottawa about how we wer...

Be Filled With The Holy Spirit? 23.06.2019 47:10

Is being filled with the Holy Spirit something we should actually desire, something that is automatic in the life of every Christian, or just a historical event in the Bible that holds no real meaning or purpose for life today? But , if it is for today, is it only for really spiritual Christians? And what about speaking in tongues, where does that fit in? Listen to this sermon from our series on t...
