In this second part of the sermon series “Being a Christian Community,” we explore the call to honour one another. Each of us are gifted in different ways, we bring different perspectives and preferences into our life together. But we are not to put ourselves first. The Church is a community of people who honour each other and so receive the best of each other. In this sermon, we explore this call of God.

In this first part of the sermon series “Being a Christian Community,” we explore the call to be devoted to each other. We hear the words of Colossians which calls us to put off behaviours that harm the unity of the body, and to put on qualities that build us up. In this sermon, we explore this call of God.

When the Bible speaks of faith, it mainly speaks of trust God in hard times and being faithful in our relationship to God. However, there are some Bible verses that link faith to miracles. What kind of faith does it take to activate miracles from God? In this sermon, we explore this topic.

We can not control the era of history we are born into. We can not determine whether our time will be prosperous or challenging. Throughout history, people of faith have had to face invasion, captivity, drought, and depravation; while other people of faith have enjoyed times of prosperity, power, and comfort. The call of faith is to live in every season of life with our eyes on God, faithful to play our part in His greater work of seeing His Kingdom Come, and knowing that the earth is not our home. In this sermon, we consider what it means to live each day by faith.

Is doubt the opposite of faith? In Scripture, people are both challenged and commended for their doubt. The key question is, “What direction is your doubt taking you in?” Today we explore the topic of the purpose and meaning of doubt. We see that unbelief, not doubt, is the opposite of faith. And we examine how faith and doubt are actually family members—you have to have faith to have something to doubt!

“Come to Jesus and life will be easy and free of trouble!” Well, that’s what we might want to believe, but the truth is that faith in Jesus is not an escape from troubles. In fact, a common answer to prayer is for Jesus to assure us that He is with us in our troubles. Today, we explore some Bible verses that describe the fact the troubles in life will test our faith, and consider the reasons why this happens and the foundation of our hope even in trouble.

Stories of faith in the Bible are often simplified to a narrative of a person experiencing surprising things and believing for crazy things in the face of great opposition. But this is not how faith is most commonly shown in the pages of the Bible. So what does faith look like?  Today we explore Hebrews 11 and those people listed as great examples of faith for us. We consider the kind of faith they showed and how we can live that faith in our lives.

What does faith look like when put into action? Depending on what Church tradition you were raised in will shape how you see the interaction between faith and works. For some of us, faith means waiting and not working for our relief. For others, our actions are all that count and can be separated from faith. In our reading today, James puts faith and works together, challenging us not just to ask what we believe but how what we believe comes out of our body.

Today we start a new series on the topic of Faith. To begin, we ask a simple but profound question: “What is Faith?” Faith is often defined by what it is not: not rational, not logical, not reasonable! But is this true? Does Biblical faith call us away from wisdom, knowledge, and understanding? And is it possible to live without faith? Some people claim they are purely rational beings without any faith, but is this even possible? And what is the truest expression of faith? Today we introduce the theme of faith by exploring these deep and important questions.
