the180 Church Podcast

This year, we want to get serious about having our goals rooted in God's character. In this new teaching series we bring together the importance of prayer and what it means that Jesus' unique names point to a God we can trust in any situation. Listen in as Pastor Dom kicks off this series and unpacks that Jesus is God with us—the nearness of God made visible and touchable. This is Good News!

In this sermon, delivered by Chris Throness, Director of Leader Formation for Alliance Canada, we will explore the question of identity and calling—who we are and what God is inviting us to do—through the lens of Exodus 19. The message emphasizes how God forms His people through grace before sending them into His mission. This sermon is an invitation to consider where the next leaders for the Chur...

While Christmas Day has passed, the Church continues to celebrate the Christmas season as we learn to let the good news of God With Us shape our lives. Join us as we begin 2026 together by exploring a story in the Bible that teaches about a life that embraces limits in order to be dedicated to the things that really matter.

Merry Christmas! Christmas begins with the mystery that God becomes human to be with us and continues as we trust God’s presence and plans for us. Join us as we follow Joseph through Christmas-time into the New Year, learning of the strength & courage we will need as we commit to grow in God’s ways.

A brief Christmas Eve message.

We are almost there. Throughout Advent we have inched our way through key biblical moments meant to move us toward a child who is coming. In Jesus, God reveals a new way that shatters the paradigms of this world. As you listen, our prayer is that you would sense God's invitation to believe that something greater than power has come into our world. Are you ready to believe and embrace what this cou...

As we move closer to Christmas, the Bible introduces us to different people who were shocked & confused about how things are unfolding. Listen in as Pastor Dom revisits the long search by the most unexpected Persian astrologers we call Magi. As we will see, their searching and their questions are very revealing. Most of all, they help us consider, 'How far would you go to find peace'?

We can get so familiar with parts of the Christmas story that we miss the deeper meaning at the heart of this season. For that reason, Advent is meant to help us see where we've missed the ways God is calling us to surrender to His shocking arrival. Listen in as Pastor Dom teaches through some rich promises presented to us by Matthew's retelling of the Christmas story. Our prayer is that you'll se...

As we begin Advent, we remember that this season invites us to slow down and pay attention to God, who works in hidden, unexpected places. Through the story of Elizabeth, we learn more about how God meets us in our barrenness—our unmet longings, delayed hopes, and quiet places of shame — and brings life where we least expect it. This week, we’re invited to make space for God in the places that fee...

When God asked His people questions, He often did so not only to reveal and remind them of truths about Himself, but to uncover truths they would rather keep hidden about themselves. Join us this week as we wrap up our series on the book of Malachi exploring the subtle ways we can make serving God about what we will get out of it.

God’s loving rebuke in Malachi comes because we have failed to respond to the teaching and blessings of God to love and serve others. Malachi’s message challenges us to learn justice and generosity that is rooted God’s never-changing character and promises.

The Bible draws into the ways God's love breaks into our lives. This week, Pastor Dom walks us through chapter two and the gift of covenants. These were sacred agreements meant to help His people grow in holiness and wholeness. As you'll hear, God’s rebuke was rooted in a loving reminder that a 180 is possible if we turn from our selfish ways. As Christians, Jesus’ love, and the power of the Spiri...

Just like the people in the Bible, there are times where our own hearts can grow cold to God’s love or caring to grow in His ways. But God loves us so much that He doesn’t leave us there. Join us as we begin this series on the Book of Malachi, exploring God’s loving rebuke that is meant to turn us back to His love, mercy, goodness, and faithfulness.

This week we wrap up our teaching series meant to ground our beliefs about giving and generosity on God’s Word. In this last sermon, Pastor Dom addresses a teachable moment between Jesus and the Pharisees and their hypocrisy around giving. This would be a reminder to stay on guard against greed and the love of money. We pray this message awakens the freedom from greed that only Jesus can give.

God overflows with generosity because it is His nature to give. We on the other hand have to learn and grow in our generosity. This week, Pastor Dom explores how the earliest Christians were learning to see giving as part of their worship and how Jesus uses a celebration to remind us how easily we confuse knowing what something costs versus being willing to count the cost of sacrifice ourselves.

What we believe about money impacts so many issues in our lives. If we don't slow down to think about this, the greedy ways of our world soon distort what God says to us. For this reason, we want the Bible to help us experience God's wisdom about giving and His faithfulness as a Generous God. Listen in as Pastor Dom begins this series with why God gives wisdom before He gives us wealth. Consider s...

Whenever Jesus did miracles in the Bible, He was using them to point to something much deeper than what’s on the surface. Join us this week as we wrap up this series by looking at a story where the real miracle of Jesus is the one that’s easy to miss, but that all His other miracles point to.

The Alliance Canada President, Darren Herbold, will share a message encouraging us to courageously join Jesus in His unfolding work and stay attentive to where God is moving—both in Canada and globally. The message comes with a challenge to step out in courageous faith as we witness spiritual renewal and a deepening commitment to Christ in our generation. Darren will also be sharing a message alon...

As Jesus traveled and taught people about God's ways, He did miracles to reveal deeper things about God and His power. This week, Pastor Dom talks about the roots of a faith that unleashes miracles in our lives. We pray that as you listen you'd surrender old ideas and ungodly habits as you embrace the Good News that this world is no match for the miraculous power and compassion of our Lord.

This is a milestone Sunday. Today we mark 9 years since our launch as a church. As we pause to reflect on God's goodness, Pastor Dom guides us through a miracle meant to shift our views about God and His promises to us. No matter what you are going through, our prayer is that you would get serious about Giving God your Best, not just what's Left. Only then will you know that even your good plans a...

What do you think about miracles? Do they still happen? Questions like this are not new. Just like today, people in the Bible wondered how, when, and why Jesus did things that could only be described as miraculous. Listen in as Pastor Dom kicks off our new teaching series with a biblical story that will invite us to move beyond the impossible for the gift of a deeper intimacy with God.

This week, we wrap up our summer series on the “one another” phrases in the New Testament in the Bible by looking at what it means to be “devoted to” one another. In a culture where many struggle to navigate different kinds of commitments and priorities, listen in as we explore the kind of devotion that’s not just about you.

In a world divided by politics, culture, and identity, Paul’s words to the Ephesian church speak powerfully today. In this message on Ephesians 4:1–6, we explore why unity is not something we create but something Christ has already accomplished — and how humility, gentleness, patience, and love can help us ‘carry, not cancel’ one another.

Paul says to carry each other’s burdens, but also to carry your own load. In this message, we unpack the difference, and how to help without hurting in a way that reflects Jesus.

The fastest way to ruin a relationship is to let complaining go unaddressed. This week Pastor Dom takes another 'one another' saying revealing how God feels about a heart that festers with a complaining attitude. Our prayer is that you sense God's strength to get honest about where complaining creeps up in your own life and to do all you can to resolve and restore a relationship.
