Scriptures: Galatians 1:11-23

Sermon Description:

Welcome to Week Two in our series on the book of Galatians. This week Pastor Jon discusses we, like Paul can use our story of transformation to share the gospel with those around us.

It is always grace alone, faith alone, in the work of Jesus alone that we are saved. God does not love you because you are moral, kind, religious or the opposite. God does not want you because you are rebellious or evil. He loves you and He calls you out of Love because He is Love.

Scriptures: Galatians 1:1-10

Sermon Description:

Welcome to Week one in our series on the book of Galatians. Written so soon after the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, this book from the beginning helps build the case for the real historical resurrection.

Paul reminds us of the Grace (undeserved mercy) and Peace (shalom, restored relationship with God) that we received from God, in and through Jesus.

Only Jesus can be our true Saviour, the one who rescues us from our hopeless sinful state. But this Gospel message cannot be added to, or watered down. Jesus plus nothing is everything.

Join us as Pastor Jon dives deeper into this beautiful and challenging text.

Series Description:

Written only 16-22 years after Jesus’ death and physical resurrection, the book of Galatians sees Paul writing to a group of established churches in what is our modern-day Turkey. These churches were filled with Jews and non-Jews all following Jesus together.

As we will learn together from Paul’s letter, the church in Galatia were facing a very similar crisis to what we face today. With so many conflicting views and seemingly opposing values, they had to learn how to live out the gospel of the resurrected Jesus Christ as the life-changing reality that it truly is.

We look forward to learning and growing together in this series over the next 11 weeks.

Scripture: John 13:1, Philippians 2:9, Luke 22:3, Ephesians 2:8

Sermon Description: 

As we wrap up our series, Fully Devoted, Pastor Jon shares about some key aspects of the last two dimensions of our discipleship worldview, share the work and engage in mission.

Behind growing generosity, behind joyful gift based ministry there is something that is the spring that feeds all of this, it is one of the quintessential markers of Christianity. it is the spiritual discipline of service which every single follower of Jesus is called to.

The one ongoing action that Jesus shows us, from him leaving heaven, living, dying, and being raised is his servanthood. He serves us and the world. He chose to come and live among us, loving us and showing us the best way to live. He died for us, He overcame sin, death and the demonic for us, He rose for us and He gives us His spirit.

This is the generous, self-giving service of Jesus and is the foundation, frame-work and grounding for how we serve one another and the church.

Scripture: Romans 1:16, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, 1 Corinthians 12:11

Sermon Description: 

This morning Pastor Jon takes through our annual “check-up”, taking a moment to unpack what it really means what we say “fully devoted followers of Jesus."

Throughout this sermon we explore the importance of spiritual disciplines, spiritual gifts, guaranteed places of encounter and more, in the life of a believer.

Our 5 discipleship dimensions were created as a way for our community to genuinely measure where they feel they are at in their discipleship journey and areas for growth.

Sermon Description:

As we launch into another ministry year here at Sanctus Church, we are getting back to our foundations. This series, Fully Devoted, is all about equipping each of us in our own discipleship journey as followers of Jesus. This week, Pastor Jon will be discussing one of our 5 discipleship dimensions, Engage in Mission. 

In a landscape that is post Christian, post modern and post social, one way we can engage in mission is to take the gospel, the good news of Jesus, to our families, workplaces and neighbourhoods. The ALPHA program has become incredibly helpful to Christians as a way to share the gospel clearly and facilitate healthy conversations about God and faith. 

Hundreds of churches across Canada, including our own, will be launching the Alpha program in a few weeks. Join us in praying for these ministries, but also consider who you could invite and journey with through this incredible ministry.
