The Compass Church

We begin a transition in I Thessalonians 4 where Paul is moving into the practical instruction on how God wants His people to live; how you ought to walk to please God. Not surprisingly, the first area that Paul addresses is sexual purity.

In this message, we look at the church from a 30,000 foot level and what the church looks like on the ground.

In this message, we dig down deeper into what baptism is, and weed through all the confusion between believer's baptism and infant baptism.

In this message, we are going to be challenged by the Thessalonians and their desire to know God’s Word and receive it. We have such a gift and privilege in having the Word of God literally in our hands. Do we treat it like that, or is it collecting dust on our shelves?

In this message, we look at Paul’s defence of himself and the Gospel as he faces critics and false teachers and their influence in the young Thessalonian church plant that Paul planted.

In this message, we are in I Thessalonians 1:4-10 and looking at how the verbal Gospel is tethered to the visible Gospel in the life of the Church.

We begin our new series in I & II Thessalonians, "Keeping Faith in the Age of Unbelief." The journey begins into the remarkable Thessalonian church through Paul's two letters to them.

We end our series in Mark celebrating the resurrection of Jesus from Mark 16. The issue of Easter is profoundly simple. It all boils down to this: If Jesus is dead, then Christianity is dead. If Jesus is alive, then Christianity is alive.

In this message, we examine the crucifixion and what the crucifixion means for us in 2022 as Holy Week begins and we move closer to Easter.

In this message, we turn to the Garden of Gethsemane and witness the sorrow of Jesus as He begins His journey to the cross. So much to learn from this account of Jesus' tremendous love for us.

For many of us who have grown up going to church, the Lord's Supper is something we can grow so familiar with that we might miss the beauty and wonder of it. We'll unpack this and also look at two of Jesus' followers: one who was all in, and one who was all out.

In this message, we conclude our “Family Matters” series with a look at parenting and the home.

We continue to look at the family – this time from the vantage point of womanhood. * Technical Issues: This week's video and audio are choppy. Sorry for the inconvenience.

We continue looking at the family and, in particular, what it means to be a man made in the image of God.

We begin our “Family Matters” series by learning a theology of the family so that “right living” flows from “right thinking”.

We conclude our “Breaking the Cycle” series in Judges by looking at what a culture looks like when God is abandoned and how we so often redefine God to suit what we want rather than worship Him as He is.

In this message, we look at Samson’s life from Judges 16. Samson had a missing piece in his life, which equals missing peace with God. Samson was physically strong, but had a very weak relationship with God. We will watch Samson's physical strength be taken from him, then we will see how his relationship with God became strong right before he dies.

In this message, we look at the life of Samson. Although well-known, the man himself remains a mystery. In four chapters, the writer tells us about Samson's rise and fall. It’s a story rich in human drama—full of love and sex and intrigue and violence and passion and strange twists of fate.

In this message, we look at Judges 10-12 and a judge named Jephthah. This story about Jephthah is a picture of a life built upon a little of God, a little of idols, and a life shaped by culture rather than the Word of God... and it doesn’t turn out well. How do we navigate culture without being swallowed by it? This is what we will look at in this message.

In this message, we cover a lot of ground by looking at chapters 7-8 of Judges. In these chapters we see once again the faithfulness of God and the dangers that can come from success.

The expression "putting out a fleece" comes from this passage in Judges 6:33-40 where Gideon requests God’s guarantee of victory through two tests. We are going to look at this idea of putting out a fleece and discover what is going on here and what this means for us today.

During this Christmas Eve gathering, we reflect on Jesus as the Light of the World.

This second week in our “Missing Peace” series, we will be looking at the Christmas story and how God works through our lives in the midst of our waiting upon Him.

This Sunday will be the first message in our Christmas series called, “Missing Peace.” We look at whether peace is even possible and what it means to have peace with God versus the peace of God.
