Welcome to our online service for December 26, 2021. Today we start our 2 week mini series called “Managing Expectations”. Using the apostle Paul’s experience described in Philippians 1, Chris will lead us to reflect back on 2021, and call us to consider our expectations for 2022. Today is Part 1.

As always, if you have any Prayer Requests, are looking to connect with us or would like to partner with us through giving, head over to saublechurch.ca

We are back with week 4 of our Advent series.  In this service we are going to explore what it looks like to Worship Fully.  Along with a great dive into Luke 1 we are also going to have an extended time of worship after the message concludes.  Outside of what we present here please know that worship can take on many forms… how do you best communicate with God?  Take time to meet with Him, He’s waiting for you!

We are back with week 3 of our Advent series.  Today Chris is going to move to one of the most dear elements of God’s heart… Love All.  No matter what you do, what socio-economic place you find yourself, no matter what others say about you, this gift of grace and mercy is yours.  God is far more about love than you will ever be able to grasp.  This is why we gladly serve Him will all we have!  Yet he comes to us a humble baby in very humble circumstances…. Our Humble King.

Having taken a week off of our Advent Series, today we are back with week 2. If you missed week one, click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWc_g-fmw5s&t=257s Today we are going to dive into God’s pattern of giving to us and how that should push us to do likewise. Christmas is a time of giving for many of us, but we want to pause and ask how best to give really meaningfully and model God’s love and generosity to our loved ones. We’ll explore this through music, scripture and a message. Join in and engage with what God is up to. What if this Christmas 2021 season, we actually gave more?

If there is anything our world needs today, it's hope. At Sauble Christian Fellowship we say that we are "a beacon of hope"... are we? This service reminds us of confident hope we have and challenges us to drop the cynicism, pessimism, and grumbling! Choose to live as people with hope!  This message was from October 2019 - before COVID - but much of what Pastor Dave says here has a lot to do with living through this pandemic - it's weirdly relevant.

Today we begin our Christmas series, Advent Conspiracy! For so many of us, the Christmas season brings warm and comfortable feelings. It’s so familiar, filled with nostalgia and tradition. But, in actuality, the account of Jesus’ birth as recorded in Matthew and Luke’s gospels reveals a dangerous story. Jesus is born in a dangerous place and at a dangerous time. And Jesus arrives in impoverished fashion, in a barn, with very few paying attention. How ironic it is that the Christmas season in our day brings with it an onslaught of spending when what we’re actually celebrating is our Saviour born with nothing, actually homeless. What if this Christmas 2021 season, we actually spend less?

Today we hear from Chris about some of his personal story as well as ministry updates in our church and to wrap it up we spend some time together in communion.

Today we dig into an essential of the church - baptism. As followers of Jesus, we see clearly in Matthew 28 that our mission is to make disciples, and we do this by teaching everything that they Lord commanded, and baptizing in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Join us as we look at this important step of obedience for a Jesus follower.

The early church in Jerusalem was devoted to sharing the good news message of Jesus. As they did so, “the Lord added daily to their number those who were being saved” (Acts 2:47). The kind of numerical growth to be excited about and to highlight is the growth that happens when Jesus saves and adds people to the church. He doesn’t add them without saving them and He doesn’t save them without adding them. We can add to the crowd, but only Jesus can add to the Church.
