In his book, How Then Should we Work?, Hugh Whelchel writes, "until Christians embrace the biblical doctrine of work, they will remain ineffective." In this message we look at work and how work in and of itself is inherently good and something God has given to us to flourish and become who we were created to be.  https://mtownchurch.ca/

The reason we do all that we do in parenting is because we are compelled by a vision and that vision is the glory of God.    https://mtownchurch.ca/

It's difficult to speak on marriage today from a Biblical standpoint but it's never been more important. Marriage is not only being redefined, it's being degraded more and more. In this message we take a look at the importance of marriage, how it points to Jesus and the husband's and wife's God-given roles in it.    https://mtownchurch.ca/

This passage hangs on two calls: be wise and be filled. In this message we consider three questions: what does wisdom look like, what does the filling of the Spirit look like and how is one filled by the Spirit? https://mtownchurch.ca/

Everyone is great with love - all we need is love, life is love. love is love. But in this week's message we address the question of "what is love?" and discover that the Biblical definition of love differs with much popular thought today. https://mtownchurch.ca/

Last week's message spoke in general terms of what we are to put off and put on as followers of Jesus. This week we get specific and look at five things we are to put off and five things we are to put on in their place and why.  https://mtownchurch.ca/

The wonderful mystery of the Christian faith is that Christians don't only believe in something, they've been changed in something. There's been a rebirth. This message looks at the call of Jesus to be on the outside what we now are on the inside. What should mark us and what marks those who have no relationship with Jesus?    https://mtownchurch.ca/

According to Paul in Ephesians 4:7-16, the goal of the church is corporate maturity - to grow together into Christ-likeness. But how? In this message we look at the three ways a local church matures: by the gifts Jesus gives, by the leaders Jesus raises and by each member doing their part. We then end by asking what maturity looks like.   https://mtownchurch.ca/

What is this call that we have received? How do we walk worthy of it?  We walk in a manner worthy of the call when we are making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace by putting on humility, gentleness, patience, when we bear with one another, when we love one another. We also walk in a manner worthy of this call when we as a church make this bold statement to...

The resurrection of Jesus is the central event of the Christian faith. Without it there is no Christianity. In this message we drop in on the interaction between the risen Jesus and His disciples and see what the resurrection looks like, what it means to us, and how it changes everything.  https://mtownchurch.ca/

Jesus died on a cross on Good Friday but He didn't die alone, two thieves were crucified on either side of Him. What's the significance of their role and interaction with Jesus and call us all to consider? Those are the questions this message seeks to answer.  https://mtownchurch.ca/

In this, the first of a three-part Easter series, we look at Jesus' Palm Sunday entrance into Jerusalem. In this message we discover what Jesus reveals about His messiahship and kingship and consider why it's dangerous to have an image of Jesus not accurate with who He truly is.    https://mtownchurch.ca/

In this week's message we look at another prayer of Paul where he prays that the Ephesians would experience the power to be changed from the inside out, the power to experience the love of God, and the power to do more than we can ask or think.  https://mtownchurch.ca/

In this message we look at what Paul was given, why it was given and to what end it was given. What's ultimately worth suffering for and why? That's what this message answers.   https://mtownchurch.ca/

In this message we look at what the gospel is, what the gospel does and what the gospel produces as it tears down all dividing walls between all people.

If Grace, Salvation, and Faith are all gifts from God, then there is no room for boasting. We owe our every breath to Him.  Love so amazing, so divine, demands our life, our soul, our all.

This message is all good and all bad. And the bad's really bad and the good's immeasurably good. In this text, Paul lays out in detail who we are outside of Christ and ends by describing what God, in His mercy, love and grace, has done for us in Christ.

In this message we look at the first prayer of Paul in Ephesians. Not only will we take time to look at what Paul prays for but see what we can learn from his prayer that can help deepen our prayer lives.

In today's message we look at three additional blessings that Paul tells us are our "in Christ". We have redemption, we have an inheritance, we have been sealed. https://mtownchurch.ca/

In this passage only one instruction is given, we are called to praise God. But why? This message answers by looking at the four things God has done for those who are in Christ. https://mtownchurch.ca/

On this very special launch Sunday of Midtown we begin a series on Paul's letter to the Ephesians. In today's message we introduce the letter by looking at its author, who he's writing to and get a taste of the wonderful message it contains. https://mtownchurch.ca/

In this Christmas Eve message we look at Mary's song in Luke 1: 46-55. In it we discover how the coming of Jesus reveals God's exhalation of the humble, extension of mercy to all people and exclusion of the proud.

We are a church in Vancouver, British Columbia that exists to make Jesus known. We will be launching in January 2021.  https://mtownchurch.ca
