Why You Should Follow Jesus

A message delivered by special guest, pastor Jacob Reaume of Trinity Bible Chapel in Waterloo Ontario on June 27, 2021. Passage: Matthew 8:18-9:9

Blood on the Hands of Authority

Pontius Pilate teaches us much about the position of authority under the supremacy of God. Those in government leadership are inescapably held to God’s moral standard. And when authorities are pushed to command or enforce things wholly unjust, exterior pressure is no excuse to perpetrate evil, by commission or omission. Pilate’s, and today’s leaders’ attempts to escape responsibility for their actions is in vain. The blood remains. Tune in to hear the warning and the hope that Scripture gives to…

The Garden of Gethsemane

The garden of Gethsemane; a place where the bitter anguish of Christ stands out among the rest. If there is one place in Scripture where the posture of the Lord shocks and confuses many an evangelical, it is the garden. Why such suffering on the part of the King of kings? What was the cup he must drink, and what would it accomplish? May you be challenged by the truths found in Gethsemane.

The King Is Born

Traditions can grow so familiar that their meaning can be lost or forgotten. At Christmas we can often forget that this is a celebration of the entrance of the King of kings into his creation. Christ has come and his kingdom continues to expand. Here is a cause for celebration and rejoicing!

The Triune Nature of God

We consider questions related to the importance of the Trinity. Where is it taught in Scripture and why is it so important? What we see is that the triune nature of God is the foundation for his outward, self-sacrificing love that he shares with his people. It is the very foundation of the gospel. Let us delight together in our triune God! For the insert on passages teaching the doctrine of the Trinity, click here.

Hell and the Love of God

How can a loving God send anyone to eternal conscious torment? How can hell be reconciled with the love of God? Rather than editing God, see the true wonder of his grace and love! This sermon explores what hell is, then turns our attention to the love and justice of God and how God loves his enemies. When we have a deficient understanding of hell, we’ll have a deficient understanding of the gospel. For those with further questions on hell,…

The Final Judgment

How many judgments are there? What do they look like? How will they be decided? Here we explore this important and oft neglected topic. In this sermon we consider Jesus’ teaching on the final judgment. We see from Scripture that there is one final judgment to take place at the return of Christ. All people, both Jew and Gentile, believer and unbeliever, will gather before Jesus to be judged. Some gaining eternal reward, others eternal punishment. This judgment exposes all…

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.

Planned, Promised, Prophesied, Procured

See the Power of God displayed in the pre-planned, promised, prophesied event that would be procured through righteous persuasion of man and a new genesis of creative work tobring God and man together.

He Came Eating and Drinking

We must go back to Jesus and the ancient church to understand how they cultivated and demonstrated love–they ate together. Let us revive an oft forgotten and neglected practice of hospitality.

His Name Is Jesus

Jesus came to meet humanity’s greatest need. Our greatest need is not to address climate change, eliminate the rich/poor gap, or to usher in democracy in every country. Rather the greatest need we have is to be reconciled to a holy and just God who we are born separated from because of our sin. Do you see that? Have you truly encountered the Christ through the power of the gospel? Jesus came to save his people from their sins. What…
