The Compass Church

The Gospel is the only Gospel, because Jesus is the true King.

In today's message, we hear about the unifying power of the Gospel, how God leads by the power of the Holy Spirit, and how God is the initiator who opens and softens our hearts.

The Gospel changes discipleship. It changes us as disciples, it changes the way we make disciples, and it propels the making of disciples.

Acts 15 calls for Gospel clarity, and reminds us that we need to be careful on relaxing our grasp on the Gospel. It is so important for the life of the Christian church to make it priority to guard the Gospel from being hijacked, and we must not allow any secondary message to get in its way.

In today's message, we look at Acts 14 and the key story of two preachers who end up being worshipped as gods. May God help us to see the idols of our hearts and may they be rooted out and replaced by Him.

Justification through belief in Jesus' death and resurrection for sin is the core foundational pillar of the Christian faith. In today's message, we look at what it means to be justified and why this matters for the Christian.

We ought to be known for our sending capacity over our seating capacity.

The mission of God cannot be stopped. Despite whatever happens, the Word of the Gospel goes forth and the mission continues to move forward.

A Gospel movement of the Church breaks down distinctions of people, it expands the Church through pain and suffering, it does not make human sense, and it takes time.

In today's message, we look at four eternal truths about God. When these truths are not fully believed, they lead to every area of sin in our lives.

Immanuel – God with us, near to us, walking with us. God came to us in the incarnation. He became one of us yet without sin to do for us what we cannot do on our own.

We cannot find lasting peace until we find peace with God. And we cannot find peace with God until we understand that peace with God is only found in Jesus. In today's message, Luke unpacks who can experience peace, where peace can be found, and how Jesus gives us peace with ourselves and others.

Murray looks at Matthew 2:1-12 and Isaiah 46:10-13, and shares four practical things we can think about this Christmas.

Saul's conversion is the most famous conversion in church history. His conversion is so important, because it shows us that God is able to transform the most unlikely of sinners and use them as His chosen instrument for God's Kingdom. In today's message, we look at Saul's conversion, how amazing and important his conversion was, and conclude with some implications for us today.

God's mission is moving forward through the scattered church, empowered by the Spirit of God. The church is the primary vehicle that God uses to carry out His mission, and He has commissioned each of us to be missionaries in our sphere of influence.

Stephen is a man who made his life count for something. His life was marked by a God-centred, Christ-exalting, Bible saturated life of surrender and love for the living God. He put his trust and confidence in Jesus, and was mastered by one great thing: surrender. In today's message, we look at Stephen's life and what it means for us to put our faith and confidence in Jesus and surrender our life t...

In today's message, we see how Satan attacks the early church through a spirit of grumbling, distrust, backbiting and conflict. Conflict is universal, and Pastor Blair shares how the Gospel helps us fight fair, how neglecting Gospel-preaching threatens the church, and how the Gospel changes us internally and propels us outward externally.

In today's message, we hear about the radical generosity of the early church, and how the Gospel so radically transformed their minds and hearts that there was not a needy person among them. We also learn through the story of Ananias and Sapphira that despite the explosion of growth in the early church, they had moments of weakness, which also serves as a warning to the church today.

In today's message, we learn about the Apostles' prayer life and their amazing reflex action to pray for boldness despite their persecution. Is prayer your reflex action, and are you growing in your awareness of who God is? Our understanding of who God is greatly impacts our prayer life.

Peter makes a very exclusive claim that there is no other name under Heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Salvation is found in Jesus alone. In today's message, we look at the unique inclusive exclusivity of Jesus, and how our acceptance before God is entirely a gift of God's grace.

In today's message, we examine the supernatural healing power of God. We answer questions about whether God still heals today, if everyone who prays for healing will get healed, if Acts 3 should be normative today, why God heals, and what miracles teach us.

The church is a planned vehicle by God for His mission to move forward on earth. In today's message, we look at seven characteristics that make up the local church, and three traits that we can see from Acts 2:42-47 that the church was known for and how God used it to see His mission move forward.

Everything in the book of Acts is made possible by the power of the Holy Spirit at work in God’s people as they seek to be obedient and fulfill God’s mission in motion. In today's message, we introduce who the Holy Spirit is, what it means to be baptized by the Holy Spirit, and what it means to be filled with the Holy Spirit.

In today's message, we unpack the biblical view of divine providence. We look at God's providence in prayer (v. 12-14), providence in failure (v. 15-20), and providence in action (v. 21-26).

The church, at its inception, was and still is a movement. The church was never meant to become an event we sat through, but a movement we are part of. The same movement that began with the early disciples of Jesus is the same movement we are part of today. We are on mission with God to redeem the world back to Himself. The church is a movement, and movements move. If you’re not moving, have you r...
