Pastor Darrel leads us in the 9th week of our Sermon on the Mount series.

The 8th week of our Sermon on the Mount series.

Our 7th week of our Sermon on the Mount series.

In the Bible, the idea of righteousness includes justice . God calls us not just to religious ritual, but to right relationship with our fellow human beings, who bear his image. “Am I my brother’s keeper?” Cain famously asked. And the answer, all through the Bible, is yes.

Pastor Dave leads us in week 5 of our sermon on the mount series.

This week, due to technical difficulties, we have an alternative-style sermon. Through conversation we continue our journey through The Beatitudes. Jesus challenges us to see differently, because the Kingdom of Heaven is near. This week, Jesus challenges is to see blessing even amidst mourning. Could it be that even in the darkest of grief, there is something good?

This week we look at the first Beatitude: "Blessed are the poor in spirit". Dave unpacks some of the complexities of understanding this Beatitude, and how it can encourage us today. We finish with Communion together.

This week Pastor Dave gives us an overview of the Beatitudes. Jesus is redefining who is really blessed or"well off". The broken-down, disregarded people are declared important, worthy and blessed.

Today we kicked off the Sermon on the Mount series. Before Jesus says a word, he says a lot. He sits down to teach on a mountainside, and in doing so, he embodies two identities: a rabbi, and a new Moses. And that matters for how we live out the Sermon on the Mount.

This Sunday, Dave spoke about the practice of lament. Looking at the prophet Jeremiah, the Psalms, Paul, and Jesus, we saw that processing our grief and loss is an essential part of our faith journey. The strongest and truest love relationships can handle the speaking of hard truth - even when the truth is a genuine complaint. This is the kind of love with which God loves us.

This Sunday, Dave shares lessons from Jeremiah on living faithfully and fruitfully in the midst of a crisis.

Pastor Dave shares from 1 Corinthians 15:55-57 how we are to live with defiant hope while Victor shares his testimony this Easter 2020. Join us Sundays at 10am: southlangleychurch.com/live Give online: southlangleychurch.com/give

In the midst of our storms, what story are we telling ourselves? What if the truest and most helpful story is that Jesus is the Creator and that he cares?

Jesus wasn't scolding Peter, but encouraging him for his little steps of faith. What little steps of faith are you going to take this week?

How do we live amidst uncertain times? How do we position ourselves to thrive and grow instead of being thrown off course? Amidst the storms, Jesus finds us. The Rabbi is in the waves.

Today, we explored Paul’s instructions to Timothy on what to look for in elders and deacons. Going deeper than that, we saw that the false teachers Paul was combating did not have these virtues and as such were putting the Church, and ultimately Christ in disrepute. As we are all part of the Body of Christ, we asked the question, how are we re-presenting Christ to others? 

In today’s teaching, we confront a passage that has been used to silence women for much of Christian history. Yet perhaps we’ve misread this text. Perhaps Paul isn’t trying to silence women at all, but to empower them to be fruitful participants in the church’s conversation.

in timothy 1, Paul is encouraging Timothy in his ministry to the church in Ephesus . Paul encourages the church to focus on grace and not on the wrong things, such as false teaching. It is the power of God's grace that transforms lives, and through our testimonies of His grace, others will come to know Jesus and receive eternal life.

In a way, 1 Timothy is a sequel to Ephesians. It’s another letter of Paul’s instructions for the church in Ephesus, sent a few years after the first one. Problems had arisen within the church, and Paul and Timothy wanted to address them. The first, and perhaps most important, problem: doctrines for dollars.

in love Sunday, Sara talked about how to be kind to people, in Ephesians 3;14-19 and Dave talked about love Sunday. 

Pastor Darryl speaks about how to defend ourselves from the ultimate enemy: by equipping the armor of God.
