Saanich Baptist Podcast

Lindsay Anderson continued our 'Do it Again' series with a sermon ‘Let God… Do God’.Lindsay challenged us to trust God and submit to His will and His ways. He asked us to consider that the kingdom of God is something to be sought first. Even in times when we don’t understand His ways, are we willing to say, ‘because He says so, I will’?

Eugene Au joined us from International Justice Mission Canada, and shared a message based on Luke 18:18-30 of what IJM has been doing and how they are working to end slavery throughout the world.

Christina Honecker continued our Do it Again sermon series with "Pursing the Presence of God." Our God is steadfast and true, but he's also dynamic. When we abide in him it's personal and intimate. Pursuing God's presence requires our affection and our obedience.

Steve continued our sermon series Do it Again by wrapping up our mini-series on Jesus' message and mission. This week, Steve called us to pray together as a church for Heaven to come to earth. Let's pray for revival and a great move of God. Let's pray to be the spark.

This week Steve continued our new sermon series Do it Again and focused on Jesus' message and mission. Not only by reading the Scripture was Jesus declaring that he was the Messiah, he was also telling the people what his mission was. And Jesus’ mission was to bring good news to the poor, and healing to the broken-hearted, and liberty to the captives, and sight to the blind, and freedom to th...

This Sunday, Steve begins our new sermon series: Do it Again. The past two years have been a time of disruption. It can be easy to get frustrated and lose hope until we remember that disruptions can bring great moves of God and stories of revival! This January, we’ll take a closer look at Jesus’ message and what it looks like to pray and fast for revival.

This week, Christina Honecker continued our sermon series: Good News of Great Joy. That moment when Jesus stepped into the world was incredible and changed everything; but the best news we have today is that we can still know and be known by our God. We can still bare witness to his presence with us, and we can still find him, our King, in the most unexpected of places.

We all know the story – Jesus was born in a manger to a virgin in a stable. But does it actually mean that Jesus left heaven to enter the chaos of earth? This Christmas season we are asking why he came to Earth? Why did he leave Heaven, and how does that transform our lives now? What happens when Jesus enters our world? He did, and still does, enter the chaos. And that is great news!

This Sunday, Lindsay Anderson wrapped up our Broken, but Beautiful sermon series by focusing on the letter to the Church in Laodicea. The spirit of God is speaking to us today. Are we hearing him? Are we listening?

This past Sunday, Steve continued our Broken, but Beautiful sermon series and focused on the church of Philadelphia. We learned that Jesus, the holy and true one became the bridge between God the Father and humanity. He’s the one who holds the keys that opened the door to salvation and that door is still open today. Each of us needs to walk through that open door. The question is have you or will...

The church of Sardis had the appearance of being alive and doing great things, but God saw through the surface and said they was dead. Despite having heard the good news and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit who comes to heal, save, and restore, they had forgotten. Jesus called them to remember what they had seen and received and refocus on him.

Jesus calls us to fix our gaze on him and reject the idea of living a compartmentalized life. Are you willing to commit to living a surrendered, authentic (not perfect) life as we walk daily with him?

This week we took time to commemorate Remembrance day through prayer and song.

This week, Steve looked at the Church of Pergamam and asked four questions:1. Are there activities in your life that are leading you away from God?2. Are you rationalizing sin?3. How do you view yourself? Are you buying into the current cultural beliefs that you can separate your body from your soul and spirit?4. Are you fixing your gaze on Jesus?5. As a church are we willing to stand firm in Jesu...

Steve continues our Broken, but Beautiful sermon series by looking at the Church in Smyrna. This church was being perscuting but was turning their eyes to Jesus. We are told to mourn with those who mourn and rejoice with those who rejoice. This Sunday we joined the persecuted church in mourning and prayer. If you're watching the YouTube video, we apologize for the disruption during the worshi...

This week we are going to look at the letter to the church in the city of Ephesus from Revelation 2:1-7, & how the church is beautiful and broken and what is in store for those who overcome. Over the past several years we've seen the church is broken. We've watched several famous leaders fall, we've learned about the tragedies that happened in Residential schools, and we've...

This Thanksgiving, Lindsay talked about remembering to take the time to give thanks for what we have, but also to be thankful even when life gets hard.

Over the past several years we've seen the church is broken. We've watched several famous leaders fall, we've learned about the tragedies that happened in Residential schools, and we've seen people leaving the church, especially younger generations. The church is broken, yes, because the church is the people and people are broken. But there is still value in the church. As the...
