In this sermon we will unpack Matthew's account of Jesus' birth announcement in Jerusalem. We'll see why the people who longed most deeply for a new Kingdom weren't ready when the King was born and how we can build our lives on the hope of Jesus' return.
In this fourth servant song of Isaiah we'll unearth the gospel in vivid clarity by beholding Jesus - the servant that God sent! We'll then examine the prophesies of the service that he would perform and the salvation that he would purchase for mankind.
In this sermon we'll unpack the third Servant Song from Isaiah. We'll see that Jesus has been given a word for weary people; a word for those living in a world riddled by the constant threat of shame. We'll see how this word was given to Him and what word He offers to speak over our lives to set us free.
In this sermon we'll unpack one of Isaiah's ancient prophecies of Jesus. We'll see that God's vision for restoration is far broader than just the Jewish nation of Israel - but a beautiful mosaic of all peoples, languages, and nations! May it be in Vancouver as it is in heaven!
In this sermon we'll unpack one of Isaiah's ancient prophecies of Jesus. We'll see that God intends to totally restore all things including us. We'll see how Jesus has already ushered this restorative justice into our world and left us here to be people of renewal until He comes again!
In this final week of our 'Become' series we'll look at how the purpose of the disciplines is that they would lead us to deeper joy in Christ, and how God's desire is that this joy would manifest itself through the discipline of Celebration.
In this sermon we will unpack confession, a classical spiritual discipline that Jesus had no need of but invited us to practice for our own joy. We will see that the ongoing practice of confession is a path to true freedom, a way to walk out our hope in Jesus, and a doorway to our God-gifted purpose in life.
As we examine the Spiritual Disciple of Service we'll see how God uses it to remake us so that we are more oriented around God and others than ourselves. We'll take a look at how service overflows from the heart as a result of feasting more on the treasures of eternity than the treasures of today, and examine how/why we should engage in the discipline of service.
In this sermon we will unpack one of the faulty stories of our culture that has many of us living for attention from others instead of relationship with God. Jesus invites us to live out of a better story (the Gospel) and cultivate new desires through the spiritual practice of secrecy.
