What does it really mean to love one another? In John 1:12-17, Jesus shows us that true love is much more than kindness or good intentions. It is the kind of selfless love He demonstrated on the cross. As we discover what Christ has done for us, we are transformed to love others in practical ways and to live with a purpose that goes far beyond ourselves.
Ryan preaches from the first part of John 15. His main point is this: Because Jesus alone is the source of spiritual life, His disciples must continually abide in Him, trusting He will produce lives of fruitful obedience that glorify the Father and overflow with His joy.
In this sermon, Jer reminds us of the final teachings of Jesus, to His disciples in the upper room.

One pushes against the worship of Jesus and another expresses a love for Jesus through extraordinary worship that will be told throughout history.

This sermon focuses on why suffering occurs and how God uses suffering for the punishment of the wicked and the discipline of His children, but ultimately to bring GLORY to the Father and the Son.
Preacher: Jer AdrianIn this sermon, we see the Pharisees seek clarity through their curiosity about Jesus's identity. But unfortunately, they remain in conflict because they don't believe Jesus is eternal. What about you? Are you curious? Do you seek clarity? Are you willing to let go of your kingdom and surrender to Jesus?
Today's sermon out of John 9:13-41 calls us to look at what we are about. Are we about religious behaviour? Are we overly concerned about what others might think of us? Or are we bold enough to admit we need help, healing, and the offer of salvation by way of Jesus?Preacher: Jer Adrian
This week's teaching is from John chapter 7:1-24, where Jesus faces misunderstanding and opposition from his own family, crowds, and religious leaders during the Feast of Booths. Jer challenges us to consider how often we, too, judge by appearances and miss God’s bigger purpose because we cling to our own plans and fears. Through Jesus’s example of patiently following God’s timeline and calling others to judge with “right judgment,” we’re invited to reflect on where our hearts stand—are we surrendered to God’s will, or distracted by the world’s noise? Listen in to be encouraged, challenged, and reminded of the deeper hope and mission we have in Christ, especially during the Christmas season.
question Jesus poses: Will you follow him, even when it's hard and requires complete surrender? The message explores why Jesus’ call to believe and “consume” him as the Bread of Life is both offensive and freeing, and how true faith leads not just to belief but to a life of abiding in Christ. Through real-life reflection and biblical teaching, the sermon encourages everyone—whether searching or seasoned in faith—to consider where they really stand: lip-syncing faith or true, daily dependence on Jesus. This message is an honest call to examine your heart, embrace surrender, and find eternal hope in following Christ.
This week's sermon from The Shore Church dives deep into John 6:27-59, where Jesus proclaims himself as the “Bread of Life.” The message centers on Jesus’ work—how he came from heaven, provided spiritual nourishment through his sacrifice, and promises to raise believers to eternal life. Listeners are encouraged not only to believe in Jesus but to continually “feed” on him and abide in his presence every day, letting this transform their daily decisions and relationships. The sermon also addresses our inability to come to Jesus without God drawing us, highlighting that salvation is a gift entirely initiated and sustained by God. If you’re wrestling with what it means to really trust, depend on, and live in Christ, this sermon offers hope and practical encouragement to live differently in light of Jesus’ unifying work.
that brings eternal satisfaction. The message unpacks our tendency to prioritize felt needs and encourages a shift towards seeking God's will above our own wants. Through Jesus’ conversation with the crowd, we learn that the true work God asks of us is simple yet profound: to believe in Him whom the Father has sent. The sermon highlights Jesus as the ultimate comfort, the one who offers lasting hope and promises never to cast us out or lose anyone who comes to Him. If you’re searching for deeper meaning and assurance in your faith, this message will encourage you to choose Jesus as the one who truly satisfies.
In this week's sermon, Pastor Jer explores the story of Jesus walking on water in John 6, using his own childhood experience of fear as a powerful illustration. He asks us to consider what causes fear in our own lives and points to Jesus as the ultimate answer and anchor in times of trouble. Through the disciples’ terrifying journey on the stormy sea, Jer highlights the transformation that happens when Jesus enters the scene: fear turns to joy and struggle to relief. The message emphasizes that it's not just the miracle, but the presence and identity of Jesus—“It is I. Do not be afraid.”—that brings true peace and security. Listeners are encouraged to rest in Christ’s presence this week, remembering that only He has the power to dispel our fears and provide lasting hope.
Pastor Jer delves into the familiar story of Jesus feeding the 5,000, exploring its deeper meaning beyond just the miraculous provision. The message challenges us to recognize how often we seek Jesus to satisfy our immediate needs, missing the greater spiritual fulfillment He offers. Through an engaging look at the disciples’ reactions and the crowd’s desires for quick fixes, the sermon points us towards surrendering our own comforts and priorities for the sake of God’s eternal kingdom. It asks thoughtful questions about where our true loyalty lies—is it with our earthly desires or God’s ultimate plan? Whether you’re familiar with this story or hearing it anew, you’ll be encouraged to seek Jesus not just as a provider for today, but as the true source of abundant and eternal life.
This sermon explores John 5:30-47, where Jesus openly declares his divinity and equality with God the Father, sparking intense debate with the Jewish leaders. The message unpacks Jesus’ case for his identity, highlighting five powerful witnesses: God the Father, John the Baptist, Jesus’ own miraculous works, the Scriptures, and Moses. Each witness points unmistakably to who Jesus is—the awaited Messiah and God in the flesh. The sermon challenges listeners not to merely rely on religious knowledge or tradition, but to examine whether their hearts and actions truly align with faith in Christ. It’s an invitation to recognize Jesus as the source of true life and to respond personally by coming to him in faith and surrender.
This week’s sermon at The Shore Church continues through John chapter 5, diving into one of Jesus’ most powerful conversations with religious leaders. You’ll hear how Jesus reveals His unique relationship with the Father, the incredible grace that offers eternal life by simply believing in Him, and the authority He holds over judgment and salvation. The pastor weaves in relatable stories about dependence and distractions, challenging us to honour Christ daily and rely on Him as our true sustenance. As you listen, consider if you’re feasting on what brings real spiritual life or just snacking on empty distractions. Discover what it truly means to pass from death to life and how Jesus’ grace even extends to those who oppose Him.
We resume our series in John this week, exploring the powerful story from John 5, where Jesus heals a man who had been paralyzed for 38 years. The sermon invites listeners to reflect on the true meaning of healing and transformation in Christ, challenging us to consider if we genuinely desire the change that Jesus offers, even when it disrupts our comfort zones. Emphasizing that the words and authority of Jesus surpass our own efforts and man-made traditions, the teaching contrasts the life-giving freedom of the Gospel with the burdensome legalism of religious rules. The preacher encourages a move from passive belief to active surrender, prompting us to ask hard questions about what might be paralyzing our walk with God. Be encouraged to examine your heart, consider what's holding you back, and respond to Jesus’ invitation for a renewed and liberated life.
, Jer explores the true meaning of church community, contrasting it with worldly ideas of togetherness focused on self-interest. He revisits key features of a biblical church—sound teaching, true conversion, evangelism, and discipleship—culminating in the role of community. The sermon highlights baptism, the Lord’s Supper, and church membership as central expressions of belonging, emphasizing that these acts are ultimately about Jesus and sharing in His presence. You are invited to reflect on the deep reality of God with us and the importance of living out faith together through encouragement, accountability, and mutual care. If you’re seeking a deeper understanding of what it means to be part of a church family, this sermon will offer both theological depth and practical wisdom.
We delve into the heart of discipleship in Part 4 of our series, What Is The Church? Drawing from the powerful story of Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 22, the message explores what faithful and sometimes difficult obedience to God looks like, even when we can't see the outcome. Jer calls the church to move from passive listening to active participation in their faith—encouraging practical steps like attending, serving, giving, and practicing spiritual disciplines within community. With reminders of God's faithfulness, grace, and unwavering promises, listeners are challenged to embrace their identity as beloved children of God and to live out the Great Commission, making disciples in everyday life. This sermon is a compelling invitation to respond to God’s love not just with belief, but with action and deeper commitment.
Pastor Ryan addresses the topic of evangelism as part of the church’s ongoing series, “What is the Church?” He unpacks the biblical call to evangelism, not as a mere event or task, but as a way of life that naturally flows from our identity in Christ. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5 and practical tools like the Roman’s Road, Ryan encourages listeners to faithfully share the life-changing message of reconciliation, reminding us that conversion is God’s work, but proclamation is ours. He tackles common fears and misconceptions around evangelism, offering both encouragement and strategies for engaging others with the gospel. Whether you’re excited or intimidated by sharing your faith, this sermon will equip and inspire you to become an ambassador for Christ in everyday life.
In part 2 of our series, Jer continues to address the foundational question, "What is the Church?" by focusing on three major elements: conversion, church leadership, and Christian character. He emphasizes that conversion is entirely the work of God through Jesus Christ—transforming individuals from darkness to light—not by human effort but by grace alone. After conversion, believers are called to participate in a biblically sound local church led by qualified elders and deacons, roles outlined in Scripture as being for godly men who lead with humility and serve the congregation. The sermon also underscores that while the character qualities detailed in 1 Timothy 3 are requirements for church leaders, all Christians are called to aspire to these virtues—including living above reproach, practicing hospitality, self-control, and being ready to serve others. Listeners are encouraged to embrace their roles as lights in the community, share the gospel, and support one another as the body of Christ.
In this sermon, Pastor Jer introduces a five-part mini-series titled “What is the Church?” focusing on the essential marks of a true biblical church, as inspired by both scripture and resources like Mark Dever’s "Nine Marks of a Healthy Church." This first message covers three foundational pillars: expositional preaching (faithful, verse-by-verse teaching of God’s word), biblical theology (understanding God’s story and character), and the centrality of the gospel (the good news of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection as our focus and hope). Drawing on 2 Timothy and other scriptures, Jer reminds the congregation that the church’s mission is to proclaim Jesus Christ through the authority of God’s Word, maintain doctrinal integrity, and continually proclaim the gospel. Practical encouragement is given for the church to be learners and disciples, rooted in scripture, sharing the gospel in all aspects of church life—including prayer, giving, communion, and worship. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to be the "called out ones" (ekklesia), devoted to Christ, growing together, and making Jesus known in North Vancouver and beyond.
"It is by the word of God, it is by scripture's authority that we live, not by anything else." In this sermon from The Shore Church, the message centers on John 4:46-54, where Jesus heals an official’s son through the power of his word alone. The pastor walks the congregation through the story, emphasizing the importance of hope, faith, and joy rooted in Christ’s promises. The official’s journey from desperation to confident expectation serves as a model for biblical hope—a certainty in Jesus’ word, even when the outcome is unseen. The sermon challenges listeners to examine where their hope is placed and encourages a faith that trusts in the authority and sufficiency of God's word above all else. The joy that flows from believing in Christ and witnessing His transformative power is highlighted as the ultimate outcome for the individual and their household. The congregation is called to be changed by God’s word and to live with a certain hope, faith in God’s past and future promises, and joy in Jesus.
Have you ever wondered where true, lasting joy can really be found? In this sermon from The Shore Church, the story of the woman at the well in John 4 challenges us to seek authentic joy not in temporary pleasures or comforts, but in Jesus Christ and the will of God. The sermon emphasizes how encountering Jesus transforms our hearts from hurt and shame into bold, joyful witnesses who share His good news. We are encouraged to let go of the "water jars"—the things we cling to for comfort—and to find our deepest satisfaction in following God, proclaiming His name, and immersing ourselves in His Word. Ultimately, the pathway to genuine joy is not self-fulfillment but surrendering to Jesus, delighting in His salvation, and spreading His love to others.
In this week’s sermon, we explore Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well from John 4, diving deep into a story many may have heard but often overlook. The message highlights how Jesus moves us from focusing on the physical to understanding our deep spiritual needs, exposing the half-truths we often live with, and gently calling us to repentance and genuine desire for living water—His forgiveness and new life. We are reminded that Jesus is not just a teacher or prophet, but the promised Messiah who offers cleansing and restoration. True worship, as Jesus reveals, isn’t about location or outward appearance but about worshiping God “in spirit and truth.” The sermon challenges us to examine what we truly worship, to lay aside distractions, confess our need, and receive the gift of eternal life that only Jesus brings.
In this sermon, Jer invites the congregation to look afresh at the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4:1-15), reminding us that even familiar passages have new truths to reveal when our hearts are open. The message unpacks the historical and spiritual significance of the setting, highlighting how Jesus breaks social and cultural barriers to reach out in love to the hurting and marginalized. The pastor emphasizes the sovereignty of God in orchestrating every detail of our lives, just as He did to ensure this life-changing encounter at the well. Drawing from the broader context of John's Gospel, the sermon illustrates that Jesus is the true gift from God, the only one who can quench our deepest thirst and offer eternal life — whether we are rule-followers like Nicodemus or broken outsiders like the Samaritan woman. The core challenge is to trust wholly in Jesus, setting aside the things of this world, and to let Him transform our lives with His living water.
Did you know that John the Baptist saw his life’s purpose fulfilled not by gaining followers, but by pointing everyone to Jesus and saying, “He must increase, but I must decrease”? In this sermon, Ryan, one of the elders at Shore Church, walks through John 3:22-36, reminding us that John’s deep joy and mission was not self-promotion, but magnifying Christ. The passage underscores that Christ is above all—He is not just a great teacher or prophet, but God Himself, sent by the Father, and the only source of eternal life. The sermon explores the idea that belief in Jesus as the Son of God is the key to receiving eternal life, while rejection leaves us under God’s wrath. Ryan encourages us to reflect on our response to Jesus, to marvel at God’s sovereignty in salvation, and to let these gospel truths shape our lives and witness.
The sermon unpacks the historical and spiritual meaning of Passover, highlighting how the temple, once a place for free worship, had become a marketplace corrupted by greed and hypocrisy. Jesus’ zealous act of cleansing the temple is described not simply as anger, but as a deep expression of love for God, the temple, and the people, calling them back to genuine worship and relationship with God. The focus shifts to Jesus as the true Passover Lamb, whose sacrifice renders animal offerings obsolete and opens the way for all people to worship God freely. Jer encourages listeners to reject self-centered worship and pursue a relationship with Jesus, recognizing Him as the fulfillment of God’s promise and the only means of salvation.
In this sermon, Jer explores John 2:1-12, focusing on the miracle of Jesus turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana. He urges listeners not to get distracted by secondary details about the wine itself but to see the central message: the manifestation of Jesus’ glory. Jer explains how the six stone jars represent humanity’s brokenness and our inability to find fulfillment apart from God. Jesus fulfills the law, supersedes human rituals, and reveals his sovereignty and creative power by transforming ordinary water into abundant, excellent wine. This act points to Jesus as the better Son, the true Bridegroom, and the Lord over all creation, offering glory and new life to all who believe in him. Jer calls the congregation to recognize and receive this glory, the gift of salvation, and to respond with confession, worship, and renewed commitment to Christ.
Have you ever wondered what the story of Jesus turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana really teaches us about His glory and our relationship with Him? In this sermon, we explore John 2:1-12—Jesus's first public miracle at the wedding in Cana—not simply as a display of supernatural power, but as a revelation of Jesus’s true glory, identity, and purpose. Jer encourages us not to get lost in the small details or questions, but to focus on the central truth: in this miracle, Jesus reveals Himself as the glorious Son, the better Bridegroom who provides abundantly for His people, and the sovereign Lord whose timing and actions are perfectly planned by God the Father. By transitioning from earthly to heavenly submission (as shown in how Jesus relates to His mother in this story), we're reminded that following Jesus means placing Him above all other relationships and distractions. Ultimately, the call is to trust, obey, and believe in Christ's glory, just as those at the wedding did, and to make His “manifested glory” the focus of our faith and lives.
In his sermon, Ryan, one of the church elders, focuses on the significance of baptism in the Christian faith. He pauses the ongoing study of John’s Gospel to address the meaning, importance, and historical context of baptism, emphasizing that it is not about the individual but about Jesus—symbolizing our union with Christ in his death, burial, and resurrection. Ryan explains three types of baptism: proselyte baptism (for Gentiles converting to Judaism), John the Baptist's baptism (a call to repentance), and Christian baptism (instituted by Jesus). He clarifies that the church practices believer’s baptism—reserved for those who profess faith in Christ—and traces its roots in the Anabaptist movement through church history. Unlike infant baptism, the church offers baby dedications, underscoring the communal responsibility to nurture children in faith. Ultimately, Ryan urges believers who have not been baptized to consider this act of obedience as a profound public declaration of what Christ has already accomplished inwardly, pointing unambiguously to the glory of Jesus.
Jer begins by celebrating new church members, encouraging all believers to use their gifts to bless the church, drawing from Matthew 28’s call to make disciples. The message dives into John the Baptist’s role as one who always points to Jesus, emphasizing that true purpose and affirmation come from God, not people. Through John 1:29-34, the sermon explores how John’s purpose was to prepare the way for Jesus through baptism, calling people to repentance, and recognizing who we are, what we deserve, and the “grace upon grace” given by Christ. Jer warns against isolating oneself from Christian community and stresses the importance of active participation in church life, both for personal spiritual health and for building up others. Ultimately, the sermon concludes with the proclamation that Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, encouraging believers to find their identity and hope in Him, live faithfully, and worship together as they walk in this purpose.
Are you making your life story about yourself, or are you pointing others to Jesus? In this sermon, Jer explores John 1:19-28, where John the Baptist is questioned about his identity by religious leaders. Despite the crowd’s attention and speculation that he might be the Christ, Elijah, or the Prophet, John repeatedly deflects, insisting he is simply a witness pointing to Jesus—the true source of light and life. The message challenges believers not to become the center of their own narratives, but to live in humility, using every opportunity to make Jesus known through their words and actions. By following John’s example of selflessness and service, the church is called to elevate Christ above all, supporting and growing together as a community focused on proclaiming Jesus as the Messiah and hope of the world.
Have you ever wondered what it truly means that "the Word became flesh" and lived among us? In this sermon Jer unpacks the rich truth of John 1:14-18, exploring the mystery and significance of Jesus–God in flesh—coming to dwell among humanity. The message highlights that Jesus embodies God’s glory, grace, and truth, revealing God’s very nature to the world. Reflecting on the life-changing implications of God becoming human—bringing grace upon grace and the offer of new life to all who believe—the sermon encourages us to experience and share Jesus personally. Ultimately, we are called not only to know Jesus intimately but to make Him known to others, becoming living witnesses of His transformative love and truth.
In this sermon, Jer delves into John 1:6-13, titled "The Summarized Story of Jesus' Mission." He outlines three main points: the revelation of John the Baptist as a witness to the light (Jesus), the rejection of Jesus by the world, and the reception of those who believe in Him as children of God. Emphasizing the evangelistic nature of the Gospel of John, the pastor highlights the importance of recognizing Jesus as the Messiah and the giver of life, while challenging the congregation to actively live out their faith, evangelize, and disciple others. Ultimately, he calls on listeners to receive Jesus fully and commit to sharing His light with others.
A sermon on The Eternal, Creating, Life giving WORD out of John 1:1-5 by The Shore Church located in North Vancouver, BC
In this Easter sermon, Jer emphasizes the central message of Jesus' resurrection and its significance for believers, illustrating God's plan to provide freedom, seek the lost, and give abundant life. He discusses key characters from the parable of the Good Shepherd, including the sheep that follow Jesus' voice, the thieves and robbers representing false teachers, the door symbolizing Christ as the only way to salvation, and Jesus as the Good Shepherd who sacrifices for His flock. The sermon encourages worship, discipleship, and a commitment to live for Jesus' mission, urging listeners to recognize areas of captivity in their lives and to open their hearts to Christ's transformative call.
Jer reflects on the significance of Good Friday, focusing on Mark 10:35-45, where Jesus teaches about the nature of true greatness through serving others. He emphasizes that greatness in the Kingdom of God is attained not through authority but through servitude, echoing Jesus’ own example of sacrificing his life as a ransom for many. The sermon stresses the importance of understanding our place in relation to God, recognizing that entry into His presence requires acknowledgment of our sin and accepting Jesus' sacrifice. Believers are called to serve one another just as Christ served humanity by taking on pain, humiliation, and ultimately death for our sake, and are encouraged to carry this mindset into their daily lives.
In this sermon from The Shore Church, Jer reflects on the significance of Passion Week and GOD’s Plan, emphasizing Jesus' mission to seek and save the lost. He discusses various themes related to captivity and freedom, highlighting the importance of recognizing our own lostness and the call to salvation through Christ. The sermon focuses on the parable of the lost sheep from Luke 15, detailing how Jesus illustrates God's deep love for each individual, encouraging listeners to see their value and the lengths to which Jesus goes to seek each of us. The conclusion invites listeners to consider their own spiritual journeys and decisions regarding faith in Jesus during this crucial week leading up to Easter.
In this sermon from Shore Church, Jer launches an Easter series titled "God's Plan," focusing on the transformative nature of Jesus' mission as outlined in Luke 4:14-22, where He announces His purpose to bring good news to the poor, proclaim liberty to captives, and restore sight to the blind. The sermon emphasizes that everyone is in some form of spiritual captivity, whether they are aware of it or not. The pastor categorizes people into three groups: those who know they are captive and desire freedom, those who are aware but do not wish to escape their captivity, and those who remain unaware of their bondage. He stresses that true hope and salvation can only be found in Jesus Christ, who offers spiritual liberation, and urges the congregation to turn to Him for freedom from sin and oppression, illustrating the importance of recognizing our need for salvation to deepen our love and appreciation for Christ's grace and mercy. The sermon is framed as a call to faith and repentance, encouraging individuals to seek a personal relationship with Jesus as the ultimate source of liberation.
