In this sermon we continue our study in John 15 and examine what it means to “abide” in Christ. We do this by Our Obedience, we remain in Him by following His commands, demonstrating our love through action. Yet it is by God Ordaining our perseverance that we remain in the Saviour. Finally, it is through Our Outpouring of Love to One Another that we abide and reflect the love of Christ we are to abide in. It is only when we abide in Christ can we hope to bear the fruit of our salvation.

In this sermon we look at John 15 and Christ’s last I AM statement, “I am the true vine.” We unpack how this statement reveals that He is the fulfillment of God’s promise—succeeding where Israel, the unfaithful vine, failed. As the true vine, He also facilitates pruning, refining believers to make them more fruitful. Finally as the true vine, He produces fruit in our lives–giving evidence of a sincere faith. It is necessary that Jesus is the True Vine, because apart from Him we can do nothing.

In this sermon we look at the kind of peace that Jesus offers to His followers in John 14. First, it’s a peace with perspective, focusing on kingdom things over earthly troubles. Second, it’s a peace that perseveres, steady through life’s hardest trials. Finally, it’s a peace that pardons, reconciling sinful man to a holy God through Christ’s sacrifice. This is the true and lasting peace we have in Jesus—unshaken, unending, and secure.

As we continue our study in John 14, we unpack how the Holy Spirit is to be our helper according to Jesus. First, He is a Constant Companion, never leaving us alone but dwelling within us. Second, He Cultivates Our Obedience, empowering us to follow Christ’s commands in love. Third, He Clarifies the Truth, teaching and reminding us of Jesus’ words. Through the Spirit, we are guided, strengthened, and assured of God’s presence in our lives.

In this sermon we continue our study in the Gospel of John and consider the importance of Christ’s unity with the Father. We learned that Christ’s unity with the Father assures us that His words are true and will come to pass, giving us a certain hope. It also calls us to consistent lives, as the Church now represents Christ’s authority and power on earth. Finally, it means our prayers are considered, for when we pray in Christ’s name, we speak with His divine authority before the Father.

“I am the way, the truth, and the life” these famous words of Christ is quoted to emphasize the sufficiency of Christ to unbelievers. But as we see from the context of John 14, the Savior says these words as a means to comfort His disciples. In this sermon we unpack how these famous words of Jesus are meant to comfort those who believe and trust him.

As Missions Month concludes, we reflect on Matthew 9 and the Savior’s call to pray for laborers in the harvest. This sermon encourages us to have Christ’s heart for the lost, heaven’s perspective on salvation, and the willingness to move into action as laborers in the harvest.

In this sermon, Pastor Greg Armstrong of Saturate Church elaborates on his unique method of reaching Muslims with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He highlights the importance of using the Old Testament to deconstruct the Quran and the major pillars of Islam. Through this approach, the Bible not only refutes the claims of Islam but also stands alone as the authoritative and inspired Word of God.

The status of the Great Commission is almost completed and the role the church of Canada can yet play in these last days in the nation of Canada and across the Globe. There is a reality that Christian Canadians are missing in these last days. How will you respond when we stand before Jesus when he comes back?

In the final sermon of our Kingdom series, we discuss what it means to be a people for God’s possession. We saw how Peter’s words call back to the Old Testament and describe God’s covenantal relationship with His people. We then looked at what it means to be in a covenantal relationship with God which denotes a new citizenship, a call to stewardship, and a reconciled relationship with God. The new covenant in Christ welcomes us into the Kingdom of God and a new identity in Him.

Peter calls believers a “holy nation”, a people that is to be set apart from the world, but this task is easier said than done. In this sermon we look at how we can be holy just as God is holy. From Peter’s letter we see the need to believe differently than the world, which results in different behaviour. Believers benefit from holiness in a way that the world cannot attain in that we become more like our Saviour.
