Centre Street Church Audio Sermons

This sermon examines and illustrates several Biblical principles on how we can influence our children and/or spiritual children to become fully devoted disciples of Jesus.

This weekend’s service gives a ‘snapshot’ of what God is doing directly and indirectly through Centre Street Church, locally and globally, to advance His kingdom work. It provides clarity as to why we do what we do in fulfilling our mission, and are reminded and challenged to be engaged in fulfilling the mission God has called us to as individuals, families and groups.

This week we hear a powerful message from special guest Joni Eareckson Tada. She shares her story of living with quadriplegia and how we should face suffering in our lives. Though she has dealt with deep feelings of despair, she has also learned how to have great joy. Suffering is like a sheepdog that snarls at our heals and drives us on to Calvary. We are challenged to stop complaining, embrace our weaknesses, grow in holiness, and run further into the arms of Christ.

Why do so many people today do everything they can to avoid thinking about death and the afterlife? Why are many people not overly excited about heaven? This sermon examines what the Bible teaches about heaven and why every Christ follower should be excited about calling it home for an eternity.

In this message titled “Animal Sermons”, Pastor Warren Wiebe dives into Proverbs 30:24-28 to shed light on God’s smallest creations. We may underestimate the strength, power, or wisdom of something simply based on its size but through this message we see that we can learn life lessons from the examples given to us from the smallest creatures.

In the final sermon of the Decisions that Make a Difference series, Ashwin compares the choices made by David and Saul. Both of these men started out strong, walking a road of obedience to God, but then took a detour. David turned back to obedience through a truly repentant heart, Saul did not. We are left with the encouragement that, though bad decisions cannot be undone, they can be redeemed!

Mother's Day is a special occasion to celebrate the brave woman who gave us life. In addition to honoring mothers, this sermon desires to celebrate all women at whatever stage of life she is at, whatever career path she has chosen, whatever her family looks like. From Judges chapter 4, we look at two women, Deborah and Jael. Both were women lived their life on mission and were mightily used by God.

In this message we hear the heart behind the ministry of Compassion Canada. President and CEO, Barry Slauenwhite, describes how we all look at poverty through our own unique worldviews. These worldviews are often based on advertisements, media, and sometimes personal experiences, but the best place to base our view of poverty is always in scripture. Poverty is a weapon used in a spiritual war, therefore, we must fight it with spiritual weapons. The answer to poverty is the gospel, wrapped in tangible love. We are left with a challenge to impact our world for the kingdom, not just do good deeds.

When we die, the Bible teaches we will spend eternity either with God in heaven or separated from God in hell. This sermon examines what the Bible has to say about hell and its implications for our lives.
