What does it mean that God is a “God of seeing”? As we begin to study the various appearances of the “Angel of theLord” in the Old Testament, we start with the story of Hagar and explore what it means that God truly sees us. In Hagar’s story, we learn that God sees our suffering—even when it is caused by our own sin, which He also sees. Yet, despite this, God also sees our salvation, promising rel...

What kills passion for the things of God? What halts the momentum of the Gospel? What makes our worship lukewarm and doctrine stale? The answer is apathy. In this sermon we examine the consequences of apathy, and how to reignite passion for the things of God.

In this sermon we look at what the Apostle Paul meant when he says that “in the Lord your labor is not in vain.” We unpack how we are merely vessels—weak, imperfect, yet chosen by God to carry His work, and that through Christ’s finished work, we have the assured victory over sin and death. Because of this victory, every faithful act we do in the Lord has eternal value. Our labor is never wasted w...

In this sermon we continue our study in John 15 and examine what it means to “abide” in Christ. We do this by Our Obedience, we remain in Him by following His commands, demonstrating our love through action. Yet it is by God Ordaining our perseverance that we remain in the Saviour. Finally, it is through Our Outpouring of Love to One Another that we abide and reflect the love of Christ we are to a...

In this sermon we look at John 15 and Christ’s last I AM statement, “I am the true vine.” We unpack how this statement reveals that He is the fulfillment of God’s promise—succeeding where Israel, the unfaithful vine, failed. As the true vine, He also facilitates pruning, refining believers to make them more fruitful. Finally as the true vine, He produces fruit in our lives–giving evidence of a sin...

In this sermon we look at the kind of peace that Jesus offers to His followers in John 14. First, it’s a peace with perspective, focusing on kingdom things over earthly troubles. Second, it’s a peace that perseveres, steady through life’s hardest trials. Finally, it’s a peace that pardons, reconciling sinful man to a holy God through Christ’s sacrifice. This is the true and lasting peace we have i...

As we continue our study in John 14, we unpack how the Holy Spirit is to be our helper according to Jesus. First, He is a Constant Companion, never leaving us alone but dwelling within us. Second, He Cultivates Our Obedience, empowering us to follow Christ’s commands in love. Third, He Clarifies the Truth, teaching and reminding us of Jesus’ words. Through the Spirit, we are guided, strengthened,...

In this sermon we continue our study in the Gospel of John and consider the importance of Christ’s unity with the Father. We learned that Christ’s unity with the Father assures us that His words are true and will come to pass, giving us a certain hope. It also calls us to consistent lives, as the Church now represents Christ’s authority and power on earth. Finally, it means our prayers are conside...

“I am the way, the truth, and the life” these famous words of Christ is quoted to emphasize the sufficiency of Christ to unbelievers. But as we see from the context of John 14, the Savior says these words as a means to comfort His disciples. In this sermon we unpack how these famous words of Jesus are meant to comfort those who believe and trust him.

As Missions Month concludes, we reflect on Matthew 9 and the Savior’s call to pray for laborers in the harvest. This sermon encourages us to have Christ’s heart for the lost, heaven’s perspective on salvation, and the willingness to move into action as laborers in the harvest.

In this sermon, Pastor Greg Armstrong of Saturate Church elaborates on his unique method of reaching Muslims with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He highlights the importance of using the Old Testament to deconstruct the Quran and the major pillars of Islam. Through this approach, the Bible not only refutes the claims of Islam but also stands alone as the authoritative and inspired Word of God.

The status of the Great Commission is almost completed and the role the church of Canada can yet play in these last days in the nation of Canada and across the Globe. There is a reality that Christian Canadians are missing in these last days. How will you respond when we stand before Jesus when he comes back?

In the final sermon of our Kingdom series, we discuss what it means to be a people for God’s possession. We saw how Peter’s words call back to the Old Testament and describe God’s covenantal relationship with His people. We then looked at what it means to be in a covenantal relationship with God which denotes a new citizenship, a call to stewardship, and a reconciled relationship with God. The new...

Peter calls believers a “holy nation”, a people that is to be set apart from the world, but this task is easier said than done. In this sermon we look at how we can be holy just as God is holy. From Peter’s letter we see the need to believe differently than the world, which results in different behaviour. Believers benefit from holiness in a way that the world cannot attain in that we become more...

As we conclude our series on the discipleship culture of our church, we look at what it means to be a Missional Community and approach to reaching the lost. We looked deeper into the Great Commision and the way Christ sends out His disciples as our template for reaching the lost. We were reminded of Christ’s authority that enables us and gives us the confidence to win the lost. In addition we saw...

A common talking point of the world is that “Christians should not judge people”. This however contradicts the Apostle Paul’s teachings in 1 Corinthians 5 to judge those within the church. In this sermon we look at the Apostle’s call to believers to not tolerate, and celebrate sin, nor should we associate with those who call themselves brothers but live a lifestyle of sin. Believers are held to a...

In this sermon, we looked at the biblical framework upon which Paul calls us to speak in a manner worthy of the calling that God has bestowed upon us. By surveying various scripture portions, we observed that the words we speak are revealing about us, impactful to us, controllable by God and accountable to God. As Christians, we are called to speaks words that are full of truth, grace, and hope! M...

Thanksgiving for believers should never be an annual celebration, but should define their lives. As we look at Psalm 107 we are reminded of how those redeemed by God should practise gratitude. Thanksgiving should define believers, drive their praise and direct their lives, gratitude should be a defining characteristic of those who have been saved by God. So let the redeemed of the LORD say so, let...

As we close our study in the 13th chapter of John’s Gospel, we look at the new commandment that Christ gives to His disciples–to love one another just as Christ has loved us. We look at why this commandment is considered “new” and what this kind of love entails. The hope is that we love like Christ in the Church, knowing that our love should define us in the world.

Thesis: “God’s election depicts the depths of His affections.” This is what we see at the last supper and Judas’ betrayal. As we continue our study into the 13th chapter of John’s Gospel, we examine the depths of God’s love as demonstrated in His sovereign act of election. We are reminded that despite the difficult truth that some are chosen and some are not, God’s choice reveals much of His chara...

As we begin our study into the 13th chapter of John’s Gospel, we dive deep into the story Jesus washing His disciples feet. We see that this act serve as an object lesson for His disciples on how to love one another. It presents a love that is humble, that puts the needs of others first, and leads by example. In the same way Christ invites His followers to do the same, to show love even to those w...

As we conclude chapter 12 of John’s gospel, we are reminded of the authority and power of Scripture as they are the words of Christ Himself. There is great hope for anyone who believes the word of God that their dark minds can be illuminated and be given wisdom. There is a reverence for Christ’s words knowing that failure to abide and believe them ultimately results in judgement. Finally, we are r...

As we continue our study in the Gospel of John we examine the glory of God as manifested in Christ and His death. We see that God’s glory is specifically displayed to show humanity where to go, a revelation of God and His good will for us. But as we see from our passage, it’s not enough to “see” the light, we must also “believe” in the light; putting our faith in the embodiment of God’s glory–Jesu...

As we jump back into our study in the Gospel of John, we pick up in chapter 12, following the triumphal entry. Here we see Christ's expectations for those who would follow Him. Followers of Jesus must die to self, putting the love of Christ above everything else in this world. Followers of Christ must also abide in Him, finding our ability to produce fruit in our Saviour. Finally, those who follow...

In the final chapter of Ruth we see the noble act of Boaz to marry Ruth, and how it foreshadows what Christ will do for His bride the Church. We see how just like Boaz, Christ redeems rejected sinners, and delights in His bride the Church. We also see the hope that in Christ the ruined find renewal. Jesus is the Boaz of the Church, the One who redeemed us from sin and death.
