Sermons on 1 Corinthians

The Essential Resurrection

In an age where skepticism abounds, this text reminds us of the surety of the resurrection. Christianity is not a philosophy or principles for living, it is God working in history to save a people through the physical death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. In this sermon we consider the essential nature of the resurrection, its factual basis in history, and finally its product of a living hope. We need this reminder of our living, conquering Christ! Passage: 1 Corinthians…

Christian Unity

Pastor Jacob Reaume from Trinity Bible Chapel in Waterloo preaches on Christian unity. He explains what it is (and what it is not). Then he follows this up with how we achieve and maintain this unity. This is a needed message for the church today. Passage: 1 Corinthians 1:10-16

The Gospel

Discussions on Christian Nationalism and Theonomy (see previous seminars) have involved asking the question whether these things distract or are even deviations of the gospel. In this seminar, Pastor Tim examines the gospel and the accusation that laboring for righteousness can undermine it. What we see is a beautiful centrality to the gospel and how we ought to live because of it. This is part four of a seminar series on Christian Nationalism, Theonomy, Postmillenialism, and the Gospel. Passage: 1…

Christ the Cornerstone

This sermon considers what must be the foundation for the church: Jesus Christ and him crucified. Many churches dot the landscape but only those built and stayed upon the foundation of the gospel of Jesus Christ will remain. This sermon considers how we must do this as a family of faith. This is the fourth and final part of a series of messages as our church transitioned into a new and larger facility at 3311 Centre St N, Calgary, Alberta.…

Christian Imitation

A call to Christian imitation as growth to look more like Christ. ** Note: we apologize for the poor audio quality of this sermon.

The Church and the Conversion Therapy Ban

On May 25th, 2020 Calgary City Council passed a new bylaw banning the practice or advertising of “conversion therapy.” Many are concerned on how this will affect the church and Christians who disagree with homosexuality and transgenderism. This talk seeks to address the church and how this bylaw (and other laws like it) affect us and our message to the world.

The Rapture and the End of the Age

What is the rapture and where do you find it in the Bible? What happens before and what happens after? Common and important questions to which the Bible clearly speaks. So that we understand what Scripture says, we take the time to examine all four passages in the Bible which speak about the “rapture” or gathering of the church at the end of the age. What we see is that the end times is much simpler than we’ve been told.

The Result: Display of Power, Wisdom and Glory

In the final part of this series we look at the power of the preaching of Jesus Christ crucified. It must be preached and through its preaching God will be glorified. Not only this, but we must be aware that it will be rejected so we avoid the lies of false gospels that are more easily received. God, in his plan, determines that the preaching of his word will be used to bring his people to salvation. May this give…

Act Like Men, Love Like Christ

What does it mean for the church like “act like men”? Here we learn 5 areas of needed courage with 5 sources of courage. Not only is courage so vital to the Christian in our day, but it is vital that we are watchful in love, that we stand firm in the faith in love, and that we are strong and courageous in love. What a timely message for the church today from the ever-relevant word of God!

The Victory of the Gospel

When Christ returns victory will be accomplished. The victory of the gospel is resurrection, the eradication of sin and death, and the kingdom of God. This brings great hope, purpose and meaning to our lives and labors for the Lord.
