There's plenty of sickness in the world today and some may question if God still heals. Yahweh Rophe, is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Why, how, and when God chooses to heal today may be a mystery; but we're assured of the complete healing to come.

Speaker: Samuel Mills Publication: August 13, 2023
Are you a peacekeeper, trying to hold off conflict and make all sides happy? Not only is it a difficult job, but sometimes it's impossible. Pastor Hollie reminds us it's not impossible with God - Yahweh Shalom - God of unbroken peace and harmony, God of alignment, reassurance, God who can heal all hurts and restore everything to its perfect heavenly state in a way we can't do by ourselves.
Speaker: Hollie Charlebois Publication: August 6, 2023
There are few people we can depend on absolutely, and if we're really pushed, we'd probably admit we feel alone and abandoned too much of the time. This week, Lori Hartshorn steps through Psalm 23 and brings us the good news of Jesus's faithful guidance, pointing out how the loving hand of Jesus the Good Shepherd can guide us throughout our lives.
Speaker: Lorie Hartshorn Publication: 30 July, 2023

Life can be filled with a lot of challenges and disappointments. Sometimes it can feel like all hope is lost.

Speaker: Samuel Mills
Publication: July 23, 2023
There's a deep, aching loneliness in our culture. We are always seeking greater reputation, even fame. But as Pastor Angela discusses, when we come into the presence of the Lord, only there can we find our ultimate satisfaction. And that is only possible because of the gift of Salvation through Jesus Christ.
Speaker: Angela Mason Publication: July 16, 2023
Our lives are built around all sorts of different relationships, whether it's parent-child relationships, friend-to-friend relationships, or romantic relationships.

Speaker: Jucas Prado Publication: July 9, 2023
Who hasn't lain awake at night counting all the things they did that day that they shouldn't have, or the wrongs that others had done to them? As Pastor Dwayne Cline reminds us, all the anger and hate and wrongdoings of the world were borne by Jesus Christ so that we could have a relationship with the Father again, despite what we have done.
Speaker: Dwayne Cline Publication: July 2, 2023
We all struggle to complete the ordinary tasks of every day. We each need to look and see what our power source is and turn instead to Jesus. Pastor Jon looks at the next name of God, The Lord of Hosts, and explores Biblical examples of the awesome power of God, The Lord of Hosts
Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication: June 25, 2023
Powerlessness is an uncomfortable feeling; we will mistreat others, mistreat ourselves, and create all sorts of messes to avoid it. In this second sermon in The Names of God summer series, Pastor Jon talks about a slave woman, fleeing for her life, who was found by God, the One who saw her.
Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication: June 18, 2023

The church is made up not only of leaders and the full congregation but of each individual member living in their own walk with Christ.

Speaker: Joel Penney
Publication date: May 21, 2023
Our weeks are full of voices pulling us in all sorts of directions and forming us as they do.

Speaker: Jon Thompson

Opposition and barriers to doing the right thing come at unexpected times, but often we meet them just when we feel we can't overcome them. But as Pastor Ange reminds us, not only are these challenges to be expected but we have the everlasting hope of a mighty God who is powerful over all our barriers and can defeat all our oppositions.
Speaker: Angela Mason
Publication: May 7, 2023
It's exciting to start a new project with focus and enthusiasm, but after a while, it gets harder to keep the dedication up.

Speaker: Jon Thompson

Speaker: Samuel Mills
Pubication: April 7, 2023
We're all familiar with the phrase 'actions speak louder than words.' Imagine how eternally loud are the actions of God through His son Jesus Christ. As we continue our journey to Easter, Pastor Jon dives into the power released into the world - and the destruction of death itself - through Jesus's death and resurrection.
Speaker: Jon Thompson
Publication: March 26, 2023
What exactly did Easter do? In this first sermon focussing on the Easter season, Pastor Jon reminds us of the perfect atonement made for our sins by Jesus's death and resurrection.
Speaker: Jon Thompson
Publication: March 19, 2023
When we feel overlooked, underappreciated, and even unseen by others, we need to remember that we are always seen by the One that matters, Jesus. Pastor Jon finishes up our time in Romans with assurances that God will carry us to the finish as we remain faithful in our service to Him.
Speaker: Jon ThompsonPublication: March 12, 2023
Generosity should come more easily from those who have experienced it first-hand. Pastor Joel discusses how the gift of Jesus's Grace is one that needs to be passed on from Christian to Christian so that we can find unity as a body even when we don't have uniformity.
Speaker: Joel PenneyPublication: March 5, 2023
Recent years have seen Christians engaging with the political in ways that do not represent their responsibilities well. Pastor Jon tackles the difficult subject of how Christians are to be loyal and enthusiastic citizens of our temporal government and how we are to love our neighbours -- regardless of their political or social opinions -- with acts of horizontal grace.
Speaker: Jon ThompsonPublication: February 26, 2023
Do you sometimes wonder if people see you the same way you see yourself? Many times we judge others to be less than ourselves while making excuses for all our faults. Pastor Jon steps through the incredible Chapter 12 of the book of Romans and reflects back to us how God sees us, and how we are to humble ourselves in full sacrifice to the only eternal judge, Jesus.
Speaker: Jon ThompsonPublication: February 19, 2023
What are your goals today? What are you walking towards? Is it the right target or are you being misled? Pastor Jon heads into Romans 10 and what it says about the Kingship of Jesus, and Him alone as the only guide and saviour -- not ourselves or our human leaders, but Jesus alone.
Speaker: Jon ThompsonPublication: February 12, 2023
Daily we hear the wrong messages: you have to do more, you have to do better, you have to find the strength within yourself, by yourself, to do better for yourself. When the truth is, we can't -- not by ourselves. Pastor Jon gets into the details of Romans 9 and points us to the words of God that show us how surrendering our efforts and instead relying on the power of the Holy Spirit can bring the rest and freedom we need.
Speaker: Jon ThompsonPublication: February 5, 2023
Sometimes it feels as if each day is harder than the last, and wonder for how long we will be able to keep going. But for those of us who are children of God, we have been given His absolute and un-lose-able gift of Hope. Pastor Jon works through Romans 8 and its promises that God, as our perfect Father, has never and will never abandon us, and instead has given to His children incredible power and security that we deeply need.
Speaker: Jon ThompsonPublication: January 29, 2023
Most Christians are comfortable with the idea that we will receive the gift of freedom from sin in an eternal afterlife. What we struggle with more is the idea that God has given us the Holy Spirit in this life, and that the Spirit lives in us right now, and grants us power that we don't have on our own. Pastor Jon digs into Romans 8 and expounds on the liberation from a dark, desperate life that is only possible with the power of the Holy Spirit.
Speaker: Jon ThompsonPublication: January 23, 2023
We all make bad choices, even when we are trying our best to make good ones. Why? Because we can't escape the worst bits of ourselves without outside help. Pastor Jon dives in and explains what role the law plays in exposing our sins, and how our love for Jesus leads us to the place where we find our very desires change so that we can, with His help, do what we are called to do, no matter the struggle.
Speaker: Jon ThompsonPublication: January 15, 2023
We like to think of ourselves as strong, independent people, in control of our own destinies. We don't like to admit that everything we do either submits to the mastery of sin or in obedience to our loving saviour, Jesus. Pastor Jon wades into the idea of spiritual slavery, and discusses how we are all committed to a master but only one master offers rest and resurrection -- Jesus.
Speaker: Jon ThompsonPublication: January 8, 2023
Join us as we celebrate on the eve of Christmas -- when we remember the Light of the World coming down to make the crooked things straight, the dark places light, and offer the joy and consolation we need all year long.
Speaker: Jon ThompsonPublication: December 24, 2022
Kids are great at knowing how to be excited about what's coming next. Eager anticipation -- if not patience -- is usually pretty easy for them. Pastor Jon takes a look at Simeon and Anna as they waited for the long-promised Messiah. He uses them as our examples to keep going as we wait for our return to our true home with Jesus Christ.
Speaker: Jon ThompsonPublication: December 18, 2022
We've all become so accustomed to the Christmas songs that play over and over in shops, in movies, on the radio -- pretty much everywhere during the Christmas season. This week, Pastor Jon takes a close look at the Christmas hymn "Joy to the World" and how it illuminates what scripture has to say about the joy of Advent.
Speaker: Jon ThompsonPublication: December 11, 2022
The Christmas story can feel so incredible that we can forget it isn't just a fairy tale - it actually came true! It is the most wonderful reality that Jesus was delivered to us, and that He alone can free us from our sins. Pastor Jon spends this second week of Advent looking at the prophecies around Jesus's birth and how waiting can be a gift in itself.
Speaker: Jon ThompsonPublication: December 4, 2022
Our culture is at war with the Biblical truth that people are born sinful. We want so badly to believe that cute babies are perfect and it's the horrible world that corrupts them. But Pastor Jon gives us insight into the reality of original sin and the incredible, Earth-shattering gift of grace through Jesus - the Second Adam - that God has given us.
Speaker: Jon Thompson Published: November 27, 2022
We are all walking through lives that encounter so much difficulty and suffering. It can be difficult to see the hope of Christ when we're in the midst of so much struggle. But Pastor Jon Thompson takes us on the journey that sees suffering turn into hope, fueled by the persistent love of God in which we can find the rest and relief we need.
Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication: November 20, 2022
Sometimes we fall into the trap of thinking that if we just try harder, do better, say the right things or follow the right traditions, that it will make us right. And when time after time we fail ourselves, it can be hard to have hope that things will ever get better. Pastor Joel Penney explores how faith in God's promises - realized through Jesus - is the only thing that will ever give us what we need to keep going. And as we walk in faith, we'll find Him guide us to where we are meant to be.
Speaker: Joel Penney Publication: November 13, 2022
We may know perfection is impossible, but we keep trying. We keep seeking solutions in things around us, like our jobs, our social lives, or our families, but none of it works. This week, Pastor Jon Thompson delivers the good news of Jesus's ultimate gift to us: complete atonement, redemption, and true liberation.
Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication: November 6, 2022
What is it that we truly need to be good? Money? Education? Time? Pastor Jon Thompson discusses the uncomfortable truth of the fundamental brokenness of all humans and the perfect salvation we can only find through Jesus.
Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication: October 30, 2022
Sometimes it can feel like every day is a battle. And when we feel defeated, we turn to quick fixes and distractions to escape. But they never work for long. Instead, as Pastor Jon Thompson reminds us, Jesus has offered us a persistent joy that even on our darkest most difficult days offers us rejoicing freedom.
Speaker: Jon Thompson Verse: Philippians Publication: October 23, 2022
Where are you in relation to the church, today? Have you considered how your gifts or resources might contribute to the rebuilding of God’s house? Pastor Jon Thompson offers a challenge to Sanctus church members to examine priorities during this rebuilding moment.
Speaker: Jon Thompson Verses: Ezra Publication: October 16, 2022
Do you feel the pull of busy-ness, of anxiety, of fear, drawing you away from church? How do we keep up our discipline of evangelism when it's just easier and seemingly safer to keep our faith hidden. Pastor Jon Thompson pushes us to explore some of our faith-centred questions through the video series, Alpha. Watch or listen as we hear how Alpha can help you refocus on your church community, and give you an opportunity to invite others to hear and understand the incredible good news of the Gospel.
Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication: October 9, 2022
It's easy to look around and judge others -- and ourselves -- by superficial standards, and think we're doing alright and don't need God. Even for those who call themselves Christians. But when we don't look deeper, we risk pasting a fake veneer of proper living over a whole pile of spiritual junk. We end up self-congratulating and self-satisfied. Pastor Sam Mills illuminates how a genuine love and desire for God prompts us to clean out the spiritual junk of pride and hypocrisy that keeps us from walking in humility and compassion.
Speaker: Sam Mills Verse: Romans 2-17:29 Publication: October 2, 2022
What could "good enough" possibly mean when measured against perfection? Pastor Jon Thompson guides us through Paul's words in Roman on humanity's crisis of sinfulness and how we cannot stand up to God's absolute goodness. Join as he discusses the unbound importance of repentance and the incredible gift of God's grace and mercy.
Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication: September 25, 2022
The word "Good" is only four letters long and is still an enormous word, far too big for humans. We all fail to be good and break away from the perfection that was designed by our Creator. This week, Pastor Jon Thompson continues through Romans to learn about how we humans fail but also how God had a plan to heal our broken relationship with Him through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus.
Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication: September 18, 2022
We all need a refreshing season, one that builds back our hopes and renews our energies. For Sanctus, the word that sums up the next season for us is resurrection. Join Pastor Jon Thompson as we begin a study of the Book of Romans, one of the best books to resurrect, to bring back the essence, the beauty, the power, the hope, and the ongoing day-in and day-out life changes promised in Jesus.
Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication: September 11, 2022
Have you ever felt that life is unfair? We are currently living in a time of failing leadership, economic uncertainty, and governmental instability. All the while we see good people going through unfair hardships and bad people using unethical means and methods to prosper without any consequence. How could life be this unfair? This morning we want to dive into Psalm 73 for some answers.
Verse: Psalm 73 Speaker: Samuel Mills Published: August 28, 2022
Unlike the many other meals we listened to this summer, this last meal is the one where Jesus does not invite someone to get to know him, or invite them to see his true identity but to rebuild and restore someone that already knows him more than most. Again Jesus is going to help this person, midpoint in the journey, keep going. This is where Jesus restores Peter.
Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication Date: August 21, 2022
God's inviting you to His party. What's your response? Guest speaker Lorie Hartshorn explores a party with several awkward moments and one particularly awkward party guest.
Are you a "pretty good person"? What if "pretty good" isn't good enough? Or what if you're not a "good person"? Then there's some news you need to hear: you're a sinner just like everyone else. And sinners are exactly to whom Jesus extends His grace, mercy, forgiveness, and love. We all -- every last one of us -- needs Him than anything else in this life. We just need to recognize it and run to Jesus.
Verse: Luke 7:36-47 Speaker: Samuel Mills Publication: August 7, 2022
There's nothing so radical, so counter-cultural, or so important as love. How do we shut down the worldly distractions that drag us away from focussing on Jesus's love for us? Joel Penney looks at the incredible upside-down lessons of Christ's visit with Mary and Martha. Jesus's wisdom in pointing to the eternal matters and away from the worldly ones challenges our daily assumptions about what our responsibilities are. How can we avoid the worried, upset, and distracted life for one of calm, content focus on Jesus?
Speaker: Joel Penney Publication: July 31, 2022
An anonymous boy gave his lunch: 5 loaves, 2 fish, and Jesus multiplied it to feed 5000. Can Jesus do the same with whatever is in your basket? Pastor Sam Mills takes us through the multiplicative miracle of Jesus feeding 5000 men with the anonymous donation of two loaves and five fishes from a boy in the crowd. It's a reminder that God has a purpose to be accomplished and created each of us with specific talents/gifts/abilities so that when we invest our time and resources, God will increase the return on that investment in abundance.
Speaker: Sam Mills Publication: July 24, 2022 Verses: Matthew 14:13-21; Mark 6:31-44; Luke 9:12-17; John 6:1-14
Join guest speaker Pastor Anne Miranda as she takes us through the transformation that happens when people are sitting at the table with Jesus.
Today, Lucas Prado talks about a time when Jesus shared not only a meal with the lost sinners of his time but also parables about lostness and discovery. Through them, Jesus tells us that even though we are surrounded by loss and immersed in lostness, His love offers a path of repentance and a joyous homecoming.
Speaker: Lucas Prado Publication date: July 10, 2022 Verse: Luke 15
In a quiet nighttime conversation with Nicodemus, Jesus shares some Earth-shattering truths. Hear what He has to say about the difference between traditional religion and the real regeneration and relationship possible with and through the Son of Man.
Verse: John 3

This week we start a new series reflecting on how we can be encouraged this summer to gather each week as a Jesus people. As we do so, we seek a fresh vision around the need for and power of hospitality by examining meals that Jesus shared with others.
Publication date: June 26, 2022 Speaker name: Jon Thompson
Pastor Sam and Pastor Jon take some time to talk about what rebuilding and regrouping really look like on the ground in the coming year. In a post-pandemic world, so much is up in the air. What will the church look like in this new digital-physical space? Though we don’t have all the answers, there are some key steps to move forward as a church in this new world.
Publication Date: June 19, 2022
Speakers: Samuel Mills and Jon Thompson
Why does Sanctus Church exist? Why do all that we do? We need to be vividly reminded of Jesus's direction for us as we consider what we are and what we want our future to still look like.
Date: June 12, 2022 Speaker: Jon Thompson
Conspiracy theories abound about Jesus' death and resurrection. Was the idea of physical resurrection borrowed from other myths? Maybe Jesus was only in a coma? Maybe someone stole the body, or it was the wrong tomb, or the authors just made the whole thing up. Join us as Pastor Jon analyzes and debunks each theory.
Speaker: Jon Thompson
Date: 05/15/22
How does Jesus respond when we doubt Him, walk away, or completely abandon Him? Walk with us through John 21, where we see Jesus "reconstruct" Peter for commission and ministry.
Date: May 29, 2022 Speaker: Joel Penney
Can a rational, intellectual, and logical person really believe the fundamental claims of the Christian faith? Did Jesus exist, did Jesus really die, and did He really rise from the dead? Does anyone else beyond the Bible talk about this? Can it be proven? And even if it's true ...is it helpful?
Date: May 8 2022 Speaker: Jon Thompson
Loss and fear are real experiences that can either sidetrack or move us closer in faith. How did Jesus' followers move from this to hope on the first Easter?

This Vision Sunday, Pastor Sam shares some updates on our 2022 - 2023 Vision Fund and explores elements of the theology of generosity.
Theories abound as to what the mark of the beast could be. Is it connected to microchips? The UN? Vaccines? Something else? In studying Revelation 13 within the context of what we’ve learned about the rest of the book, we learn that it’s something quite different.
Speaker: Jon Thompson Date: February 20, 2022
In this 8th episode of our series on Revelation, we explore persecution of the church, Revelation's two witnesses, and how we as the Church keep going during the "in-between".

Scripture: Psalm 69
Description: Psalms can help us deal with our emotions of doubt, sadness and fear but what about anger? When is anger worth it? We need to evaluate ourselves based on how our Loving, Holy God gets angry. It’s in His presence where He transforms our anger to zeal, our hate to love and brings us closer to saying back to Him, zeal for your house consumes me.
Have you found yourself both confident and anxious, trusting and fearful? Welcome to the paradox of human life. Psalm 27 clearly talks about this paradox and it gives us lots of clarity on how to navigate the battles of life. At the end of the journey, it's all about one thing. What's the one thing in your life?
Speaker: Nathan Veley
We can come into the presence of God and pour out our honest prayers before him. As we do, His presence shifts and changes our perspective, giving us both an eternal view for this life, and an understanding of what the good life really is. In this message, we'll be digging in Psalm 73.
If Jesus is our model, how do we become more like Him in everyday life and ministry? We finish our conversation on convergence by looking at how spiritual gifts and disciplines provide the means and methods for becoming more like Jesus in our own lives.
The Bible describes many dramatic encounters with God. Do these intense moves of God still happen today? We continue our series on convergence by distinguishing between renewal, revival, and awakening. By establishing healthy expectations for spiritual encounters, we are able to find contentment in the practice of common faithfulness without diminishing our hope and prayers for divine revival in our current cultural crisis.
We live in a post-Christian world that’s struggling to accommodate two opposing value systems: militant secularism and violent religious fundamentalism. How should the Church respond? At Sanctus Church, we believe the answer lies in what we call “convergence”. Using Jesus as our model, let’s explore how it’s possible to thrive in our uncertain and dynamic times.
Transitions are when we're most vulnerable. If opposition is inevitable, how do we prepare ourselves for seasons of change? As believers, we begin by remembering that the God who saves is also the God who sustains. Through His presence and provision, God will lead us into victory.
Transitions are difficult. In our pursuit of the new, we sometimes find ourselves missing the old. How do we remain focused and unified in our pursuit of God's vision for our church? The answer lies in remembering the nature of the One who called us in the first place.
Jesus is the greatest gift we'll ever receive. Born in a manger, the light of the world invaded the darkness to give us hope in a time of hardship and disappointment.
Christmas didn't begin at a mall, but rather in an obscure corner of the Roman empire where life was cheap and uncertain. Yet God moved, and everything changed. Let's remember why we celebrate Christmas. King Jesus is here. You never have to be alone again.
The Christmas story is filled with symbols that help us understand the significance of this holy invasion. God is here for everyone. Like the magi who saw and followed the star, we all face the same decisions: Will we pursue God? And what will we do when we meet Him in Jesus?
The time had come. Christmas marks the moment God stepped into the human story by showing up in an unexpected place — not a temple, but a manger. Even at birth, Jesus reveals the depth of God’s love for us. There’s nothing He won’t do to provide His children with a way back home.
God designed us for relationships. It’s why Paul uses his final words to recognize and bless those who walked alongside him throughout his ministry. What is God trying to teach us through these deeply personal and too often skimmed verses? Perhaps even in the face of death, God’s love, experienced through community and the Holy Spirit, is all we need.
Imprisoned, deserted, opposed — Paul details the extent of his hardship to Timothy. Yet through his personal remarks, Paul reveals that he's made peace with the past and found joyful anticipation about the future. By following the way of Christ, Paul models how to cultivate an unshakeable sense of peace and joy through the trials we face.
In his final charge to Timothy, Paul reminds us that Jesus' resurrection gave the world hope, unlike anything it had ever seen. When we build our life on this hope, we find peace and power that overrides our present circumstances — even in the face of death.
Following Jesus involves risk and sacrifice. If some form of persecution is inevitable, how do we prepare for that future? Paul points us to the Bible. The scriptures are designed to be read for formation. They have the power to shape us into the image of Jesus. When we actively love the scriptures, we allow the Author to transform us into people who can withstand anything that comes our way.
How do we navigate a broken world? In times of amplified chaos, we tend to feel discouraged and vulnerable to doubt. The culprit is unrealistic expectations. As he prepares his final charge, Paul moves from encouragement to warning, describing the grim nature of the world in which we find ourselves. By recalibrating our expectations, Paul helps us replace our wishful thinking with real hope, which empowers us to endure the "now and not yet".
The world is a confusing place. From propaganda to censorship, the truth is constantly under threat — including inside the church. False teaching is like a landmine; it’s subtle, dangerous, and difficult to remove. With time running out, Paul outlines how to detect and confront false teaching without losing sight of the objective. The goal isn’t to win an argument; it’s to see salvation.
Trials forge our faith. When difficulties arise, Paul encourages us to ground ourselves in the faithfulness of Jesus. Even when we struggle with doubt, Jesus remains faithful to us. That's the secret — it's not about you. The strength to endure comes from the One who has already defeated death.
From the series "2 Timothy: The Good Fight". Facing imminent death, Paul encourages Timothy to join him in suffering for the gospel. Is this the selfish desire of a lonely prisoner? Or is there a deeper meaning to the suffering that leads us into more security and strength than we can even imagine?
From the series "2 Timothy: The Good Fight". As crises mount, one thing becomes clear: we can’t do it alone. Imprisoned and awaiting execution, Paul writes a letter to Timothy about the power of the gospel and the cost of discipleship. If we’re going to live on mission, we need to understand where our power comes from.
What does Sanctus Church believe about discipleship? What does it look like to be a fully devoted follower of Jesus in the middle of a pandemic? In the midst of disruptions, there are always opportunities for growth and impact.
Let’s take a moment to celebrate the past and cast vision for the future. This is a conversation about how we, as fully devoted followers of Jesus, may continue building for the future with hopeful anticipation because we trust that our God is with us and for us. Our strategies may change, but God’s promises for our church and region remain the same.
In times of uncertainty, we tend to use our lack of foresight as an excuse for inaction or disobedience. What if there’s an alternative way forward? God uses seemingly impossible situations to help us see our need for Him. The invitation isn’t to certainty, but to trust.
There’s always a battle before the victory. Just as Moses and Aaron partnered with God to liberate Israel from slavery, we too must follow God and trust that He’ll provide a way forward regardless of who or what we face.
How do we live with faith, courage, and freedom? You are commissioned to live out the gospel in the middle of suffering. This boldness has nothing to do with personality, and everything to do with God.
Is Jesus really our brother? Many of us know Jesus as Saviour, Shepherd, Lord, King—but when's the last time you thought about the Son of God as your sibling? Understanding our relationship to Jesus after we're adopted into the family of God impacts how we see ourselves and our purpose.
Jesus came to set you free from sin and death so that you may experience the fullness of life—both now and forever. Recognizing the significance of this freedom helps us cultivate gratitude that fuels our ability to love freely in the face of any challenge.
We all want to achieve our full potential, but what if the cultural vision for your life can’t get you to where you actually want to go? God offers an alternative path, but following Jesus will cost you the compromise of comfort.
As followers of Jesus, we are called to be people of his presence that help bring God’s kingdom into the present. It's a calling that changes how we view ourselves and everything we do in this life.
To know who you are, you must know who you're not. The truth depends on distinctions—and knowing our limitations leads us into a deeper relationship with the only One who is capable of helping us become everything we're meant to be. It's time for us to live what we believe.
How you define yourself matters. Our beliefs influence our behaviour—and the story of Ruth exemplifies how God weaves our decisions and actions into his unfolding plan of redemption. Simply put, God redeemed you for a reason: to reflect the lovingkindness that you first received. So ask yourself: am I ready to impact the world by living as a child of God?
God wants to connect with you on a deeper level—so much so that He calls you His friend. The heart of friendship is to know the heart of the one who befriends you. God wants to transform your heart by revealing his own, but great friendships take time and effort. Learn how investing in this one relationship will transform how you relate to everything and everyone else—including yourself.
What does it mean to be favoured by God? There's a significant difference between the favour we achieve through our own efforts and the favour we receive as a gift from God. One provides an edge, the other develops our character. God's favour is always about the bigger picture—are you ready to trust him during the process?
Where do you find your identity? Many of us root our sense of self and sense of worth in what we own, what we do, and what others say about us—yet the Gospel reveals that our identity is based on what's already been done through Jesus.
Who will we trust?
God's inviting you to join the family—but this identity must be received, not achieved.
Celebration and rest are essential aspects of one's spiritual life. They produce a divine joy that fuels everything else we are called to do as believers. So how do we celebrate and rest in the midst of pain, suffering, and urgency?
Serve others: easy to say, hard to do—especially when it comes at a personal cost. Jesus calls us to actively will the good of others, including those who we'd rather ignore (or perhaps even harm). This is radical love. This is reconciliation. This is the way through which the Kingdom of God flips our cultural models upside-down and begins to emerge in the here and now.
We weren't created and saved to sit on the sidelines. It's time for us to love boldly and find Jesus at the middle of it all.
Are you paying attention to what really matters? Nothing is more valuable than our personal time and attention, and yet we rarely create space to ask ourselves whether our choices are leading us into deeper relationship with God.
In a culture obsessed with complexity and accumulation, Jesus calls us to practice simplicity and sacrifice. Why? Because these disciplines, when done as acts of worship, lead us to the One who is able to free us from the tireless cycle of never feeling like we have (or are) enough.
Chris Chase and Cheryl Nembhard join Pastor Jon Thompson for an honest conversation about the reality of racism, the hope of reconciliation, and the role of the Gospel in our pursuit of justice.
What is the Bible? How do we engage with this strange and ancient collection of writings today?
The Bible reveals the ultimate story of reality—one that weaves our personal stories into a grand narrative that leads to Jesus.
As is often the case with Jesus, this is about both the head and the heart.
Why does God care about what I do with my body? Come learn how our sexuality relates to discipleship—and how Jesus wants to help us discover a whole new way to be human in what he calls "The Kingdom of God".
This is a conversation about relationship and trust. Will you accept that Jesus knows what's best for our hearts and bodies?
Fasting might be the most abused and neglected spiritual practice—yet Jesus expected his followers to fast regularly. When it comes to spiritual disciplines, our motives determine the fruit. Join us as we explore how fasting, when rightly practiced, leads to freedom and transformation.
How often do you spend time in the quiet alone with God?
Solitude and silence were at the heart of Jesus' life and ministry. He often withdrew to the "lonely place" before engaging with the crowds and challenges that lay before him. If we treat Jesus as our model, learning how to minimize the noise and increase our attentiveness to God may be the secret to thriving within the chaos of our modern age.
Confession is an integral part of our walk with Jesus. It's through the practice of confession that we move out of our hiddenness and into God's inexhaustible grace and mercy. Simply put, confession leads to true freedom—so how do we do it?
“To pray is to accept that we are, and always will be, wholly dependent on God for everything.”
—Timothy Keller
How do we talk to God? The disciples asked Jesus this very question; He answered by giving them the Lord’s Prayer. Using this ancient prayer as our framework, join us as we learn how to converse with the Father today.
To become like Jesus, we must spend time with Jesus. We do this through spiritual practices.
If spiritual gifts are a guaranteed place of power, spiritual practices are a guaranteed place of transformation. They lead us into the presence of God after we’ve encountered him through Jesus so that he may transform us from the inside out.
Speaker: Jon Thompson Series: Spiritual Practices: The Holy Habits of Faith
"Many of us have at times walked the Emmaus road, wondering where God is...when all along He walks beside us." — Randy Alcorn
Jesus is risen. He is alive. He defeated death, rescuing us from the consequences of our sin, forging a way for the lost to be found.
The resurrection of Jesus is the point at which the history of the world turns. No longer are we destined to travel alone. Jesus meets us on our journey. Through your pain and doubt, wrestling and wandering, he walks beside you—patiently waiting for you to open your heart and see that the Living God is ready to welcome you home.
Speaker: Jon Thompson Series: Lost & Found
The idea of death haunts most of humanity. And understandably so—if we imagine a future without Jesus.
Jesus' death defeated the reign of darkness. The finality of death was replaced with a semi-colon. For believers, we are freed from the suffocating weight of death's empty threats of loneliness and isolation. Jesus has found us. His death has made a way for the lost to come home.
As we mourn and reflect this Good Friday, may we take heaven's perspective on the matter: this was not a mistake; it was the start of a revolution.
It is finished—but it's not over.
Speaker: Jon Thompson Series: Lost & Found
Crisis exposes us. When our normal routines are disrupted, we realize the limitations of money, sex, and power. At some point, we are forced to confront the jarring truth that we are fragile, flawed, and unable to save ourselves—that we need something, or someone, greater than what the world has to offer.
Jesus is that someone. He calls us home, not because of who we are or what we have done, but because of who he is and what he’s already finished.
Speaker: Jon Thompson Series: Lost & Found
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
Jesus made some shocking claims; statements that only make sense if we accept his identity as God in the flesh.
As a teacher, Jesus used parables to reveal truths about God’s character and humanity’s condition. He told stories—like the one about the Good Samaritan—that forced his audience to ponder deeply personal questions: Who am I in the story? Who are my neighbours? Am I willing to not only accept God’s love, but express it to the world?
Our answers determine how we live. How do you respond?
Speaker: Jon Thompson Series: Lost & Found
How do we lead a life marked by faith and hope in a world plagued with fear and uncertainty? Now, more than ever, we need to rest and ground our daily rhythms in our Living Hope: Jesus.
Speaker: Jon Thompson
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.” — John 14:1.
In the face of trouble, Jesus comforts his followers by asking us to trust him with all things—including our beliefs about heaven.
According to Jesus, understanding the nature and promise of heaven leads to radical hope. When we correct our misconceptions about “going to heaven”, we discover a more powerful and profound hope, one that empowers us to lead counter-cultural lives marked by love and joy irrespective of our circumstances.
Heaven is more about the person than the place—and it starts with us.
Speaker: Jon Thompson
Series: The Great Divide
The doctrine of hell is one of the most difficult aspects of Christian faith for many people—so why should we talk about it? The famed theologian J. I. Packer gives us three reasons: 1. The idea of hell is being debated and debunked frivolously in modern culture; 2. There is no such thing as the “Good News” without the other side; and 3. Jesus talked about it—a lot.
Speaker: Jon Thompson Series: The Great Divide
“So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.” – Matthew 22:44.
Jesus made several things clear through his teachings: judgment is real, we will all give an account, and he is the judge.
Your view about how the world will end directly affects how you live on earth today. God’s judgment satisfies our need for justice in the world—but we must be careful not to separate it from another part of God’s character: his grace.
Jesus is the risen the judge—and forgiver. The heart of the gospel is the supreme truth that God accepts us with no conditions when we put our trust in Jesus. As N.T Wright puts it, “In the word of the risen Jesus, we find judgment and forgiveness coming home at the deepest and most personal level.”
In the end, everyone will come face-to-face with God. The only question is whether we face him alone, or covered by grace alone.
Speaker: Jon Thompson Series: The Great Divide: Death and Destiny
God extends mercy to the merciless, leaving Jonah in a heart storm. How can God be perfectly just and perfectly loving at once?
God is a complex character who makes sense only through the gospel of Jesus Christ. Moses wasn’t allowed to see it. Jonah wasn’t able to discern it. Thankfully, we don’t stand where they stood.
The book of Jonah forces us to contemplate our personal destiny. How will we respond to God’s word, world, and grace?
Speaker: Jon Thompson
Series: Jonah
"Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.” Jonah preaches wrath—but God responds with mercy.
Above all else, the book of Jonah is about reconciliation. It demonstrates the fact that God’s wrath and mercy are held in tension—and that the road to revival, while available to all, requires genuine repentance.
If there are innumerable steps between us and God, he will take all but one. The choice is ours.
Speaker: Jon Thompson
Series: Jonah - The Mystery of Mercy
God keeps his promises. Despite Jonah’s rebellion, God rescues his prodigal prophet from the jaws of death. Jonah cries to the Lord for help, and God answers him.
Nothing can separate us from God’s love and mercy; he is not limited by our shortcomings. In fact, we see yet again that God uses imperfect people to achieve his perfect plans.

Jonah: The Mystery of Mercy
Speaker: Jon Thompson
Scripture: Jonah 1
Love your enemies. Jonah receives a mission from God that leaves him struggling with a question our world continues to wrestle with today: how God can be both merciful and just?
Obedience will require sacrifice. For Jonah, the cost seems too high. He refuses and runs—but God’s mercy prevails.
Together: A Series on Marriage & Community
Speaker: Angela Mason
Beliefs are powerful. They influence our behaviour, set our expectations, and define what we think is possible.
So what do we believe about marriage? Or more importantly, what does God have to say about the matter?
The Scriptures paint a picture of marriage infused with meaning and power. God invites us to be filled with the Spirit so that our marriages lead us and the world into a deeper knowledge of the Gospel.
Sound difficult? Thankfully, God doesn’t expect us to do it on our own. He is our ever-present Helper, always inviting us to find freedom and power in all areas of life—including marriage.
The Founders of The Marriage Course join Pastor Jon for a conversation about their mission to save marriages.
The Marriage Course is a series of seven sessions, designed to help couples invest in their relationship and build a strong marriage. Visit www.themarriagecourses.ca for more information.
Together: A Series on Marriage & Community
Speaker: Dave Adams
Marriage matters. Since the very beginning, God has intended for it to serve as the blueprint for male-female relationships.
It holds a special place in the human story—so why does it seem to be so difficult and confusing?Many voices have weighed in on the topic—some good, others bad. The Scriptures have a way of cutting through the noise.Using the story of Hosea as a touchstone, we focus in on the power of choice, the influence of beliefs, and God’s heart for marriage.
Speakers: Jon Thompson & Dave Adams
Scripture: Nehemiah 4
Description: Twice a year at Sanctus Church, we stop to recap where we've been and where we're going. It's a chance for us to celebrate what God has done among us, building faith to move forward.
Speaker: Dave Adams
Scripture: Luke 2
Sermon Description:
In preparation for the new year, we turn our attention toward the story of Simeon—which doesn't receive much attention since it appears in the Christmas story after the "big day". Simeon's life demonstrates what it looks like to walk by the Spirit as we: * Wait. How do you wait with purpose and patience for God's promise to come true? * Act. How do you remain ready and move when the Holy Spirit prompts you? and * Respond. How do you respond when God reveals his faithfulness?
Simeon shows us a better way forward. As we prepare to enter this new decade, let's follow Simeon's example and invite the Holy Spirit into the whole process—and walk with God throughout the entire journey.
Speaker: Jon Thompson
Scripture: Genesis 2, Revelation 21, Colossians 1
Sermon Description:
When we look up at the stars, we can’t help but feel a sense of wonder. The cosmos were designed to reveal God’s glory—to point us back to the Creator of it all.
Yet God is more than just the author of light. He is light. What does this reveal about His nature and character?
When we circle back to the beginning, we see how the stories of both Creation and Christmas reveal the goodness of God's heart.
It's there from the start: eternal and unwavering holiness. In Jesus, we see what happens when the light of the world invades the darkness. His life, death, and resurrection destroyed darkness and replaced it with everlasting light. From throne to cradle, God entered our story so that we may have salvation and eternal life.
This light now shines in our hearts. The Holy Spirit empowers us live out a story of re-creation and victory. By walking in and with the light, we become children of light—and glorify the Father by showing the world what it looks like to finally see.
Speaker: Jon Thompson
Scripture: Galatians 6
Summary:Welcome to the eleventh and final week in our series on the book of Galatians. To conclude this incredible journey, we turn our attention to Paul's highly practical conclusion.
Paul demonstrates his wisdom by translating knowledge into action; he preemptively answers the most likely question in the minds of his audience at this point: Now what?
Paul crafts a series of verses to explain not only what Gospel freedom look like in action, but how we maintain our freedom in the real world while continuing to build our lives on the firm foundation that true freedom comes from a promise, not performance—and Jesus is the promised one.
God set us free for a reason. Let's find out what it really means to be a new creation.
Speaker: Joel Penney
Scripture: Galatians 5:16-26
Summary:
Welcome to Week Ten in our series on Galatians.
There is a war inside each of us between the Spirit and our sinful nature. The Spirit wants us to be more like Christ and our flesh wants us back into slavery. According to Paul, to win this battle we must choose, every day, to be led by the Spirit.
The way of the flesh (world) is a trap: living your own way looks like freedom, but it’s a lie. It’s actually slavery. Paul provides us with a hopeful list of all that we can experience when we choose a life in the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Speaker: Ben Hilson
Scripture: Galatians 5:1-15
Welcome to Week Nine in our series out of the book of Galatians.Paul opens Chapter 5 by driving home the central thesis of his letter to the Galatians: Freedom is at the core of the Gospel.
We tend to insert ourselves into the grace equation. Our western culture emphasizes personal performance and achievement, so it's natural for us to let this mode of thinking distort the nature of the Gospel. Paul corrects this error by reminding us that neither religion nor irreligion have any power to establish us in relationship with God. Faith in Jesus is the only thing that counts.
Inviting the Holy Spirit to transform our hearts with this truth enable us to love others with the proper motivation. When we internalize the fact that our freedom is not dependent on our works, we free ourselves from fear—and in turn move from self-obsession to selfless loving.
Speaker: Jon Thompson
Scriptures: Galatians 4:21-28
Sermon Description:
Welcome to Week Eight in our series out of the book of Galatians. Are we truly trusting in God’s promise or are we more committed to our performance?
In these verses, Paul uses the story of Issac and Ishmael to further illustrate his point. Both Isaac and Ishmael are sons of Abraham, but with two completely different destinies. One is a slave and one is free, one is born out of normal, natural everyday means while the other was the impossible becoming possible.
We, too must learn to trust in the promise and not on our own performance.
Speaker: Jon Thompson
Scripture: Galatians 4:1-20
Welcome to Week Seven in our series out of the book of Galatians. As we enter into Chapter 4 the story gets more personal, deeper and closer to the heart.
You don’t need to prove yourself to God, He loves you. The Holy Spirit cries out on our behalf “Abba, Father”, leading us time and again to that one place, one declaration, one grounding and life changing point.
Thank you God!
Speaker: Jon Thompson
Scripture: Galatians 3:10-29
Description:
Welcome to Week Six in our series out of the book of Galatians. This letter was written to a group of churches that were being tempted to give in to a false gospel and to walk away from the true gospel.
The law shows all of us our sin and need and moves us to a Saviour. You will not be made right by any form of religion, spirituality, mindfulness, kindness, wealth, power, gender, race or family background.
The gospel is never about performance, only Promise!
Jesus is the promised one!
Speaker: Jon Thompson
Scriptures: Galatians 3:1-18
Sermon Description:
Welcome to Week Five in our series on the book of Galatians.
No amount of hard work, prayer, religious duty or hustle will help you grow and walk with Jesus. Jesus work alone, grace alone, faith alone. This is the gospel. Nothing needs to be added.
You can believe the right gospel, but still act like you believe the wrong one. Holy Spirit, come empower us to see Jesus, understand Jesus and to live like Jesus.
Speaker: Jon Thompson
Scriptures: Galatians 2:11-21
Sermon Description:
Welcome to Week Four in our series on the book of Galatians!
As we have seen week in and week out, this letter was written to a group of churches that were being tempted to give in to a false gospel and to walk away from the true gospel.
The story picks up when Paul confronts Peter and Barnabus, who begin to let fear drive them and their theology right to hypocrisy and sin, even after learning from Jesus and teaching others about Him.
So what can we learn from this confrontation between Peter and Paul? Today, Christians disagree on lots of things as they study the bible and read the history of the church. Most of the time these discussions are in shades of grey instead of anything in black and white. But there are 3 times when this type of confrontation (Peter vs Paul) is needed: when you change the gospel, change the essentials of the faith and when you say sin is no longer sin!
As we listen in to learn more from Pastor Jon regarding this text, we continue to pray that the Holy Spirit would enlighten the truth of Scripture, strengthen us to hear and obey and keep the truth of the gospel at the centre of our lives.
Speaker: Jon Thompson
Scriptures: Galatians 2:1-10
Sermon Description:
Welcome to Week Three in our series on the book of Galatians. It has been 14 years since the end of chapter one and the false teachers have made their way back to the birthplace of the movement, to Jerusalem itself. Paul returns to re-affirm that the gospel of Jesus Christ is the only one that saves and it is for everyone! There is no culture that is not touched by sin, the world and the devil, every ethnic background needs Jesus, and this is ultimately what completely unifies us.
Acts 2 is the call of the church, no matter what denomination, cultural expression or size. Teaching, community, communion, prayer, the presence of God, giving, loving the poor, large and small gatherings, baptism, and evangelism! We all cannot reach the same people, our style and size will attract some and not others, but that is God’s plan!
Let’s continue to lean in and listen to what God is speaking to us, no matter what community we are part of. We are better, together!
Speaker: Jon Thompson
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.
Speaker: Jon Thompson
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.
Speaker: Jon Thompson
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.

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.

Scriptures: 2 Corinthians 13:14, Matthew 28:19, Isaiah 6:1, 1 Corinthians 1:2, 2 Chronicles 5, Zechariah 8
Sermon Description:
As a church community that began in the 1970s, one of the things that has always defined us is a desire to change, grow, and adapt to our surroundings and changing needs. On June 2nd we revealed Plan 2, our Strategic Plan for the next 5 years, and with that came a real prompting that we needed to change our name for the next chapters of our church.
As we prayerfully sought the Lord in the past few months, it became very clear to our leadership team that God’s hand was in this. It was clear to us, by the Holy Spirit, that our new name needed to include who God is, how He sees us, and where He is calling us.
We are so thrilled to announcing the new name of our church, listen in to learn more about what it means for each of us!
Speaker: Jon Thompson
Scripture: John 15:5
Sermon Description:
Welcome to week eight in our series of the “I am” statements of Jesus. This week, Pastor Jon is wrapping up our series discussing Jesus’ statement “I am the true vine”.
Jesus used the reference of a vine to not only reaffirm that He is God, but also that He is the better Israel. He is the one each person must connect to, to be part of God’s people. Just like how a gardener would tend to the vines growing in their vineyard, he lifts us up and cleans/prunes us.
With our society facing an increasing epidemic of loneliness and disconnect this verse gives us so much hope about what Jesus is pursuing. It’s all about relationship as we are Jesus’ limbs, made to bear His fruit and share in His life. Jesus as the wine is the antidote to loneliness, the same yesterday, today and forever.

Scripture: John 14:6
Sermon Description:
Welcome to week seven in our series on the I AM statements of Jesus. This week Pastor Ben is sharing about the radical inclusivity of Jesus’ statement in John 14:6 “I am the way, the truth and the life.” In a world that encourages everyone to find their own way, Jesus’ audacious claim leaves many uncomfortable. But who else can show us to God, but God. God is the only one that can lead us to Himself and He demonstrates who He is through Jesus.
Jesus makes a way through His death and resurrection, taking the sins of the world upon Himself and He makes a way, by being the way. And that is why the Gospel is so scandalous. Because at the root of it is the idea of grace, and it’s extended to everyone.

Scripture: John 11:25-26
Sermon Description:
Welcome to week six in our series on the I AM statements of Jesus. When Jesus says in John 11:25, “I am the Resurrection and the Life” He was adding something so significant to what the Jewish people believed about their hope of being resurrected after death.
Against all odds, the irreversible will be reversed. Jesus has the power to give eternal life but as if that isn’t enough, He says whoever lives in me, will be spiritually awakened and no longer live as if they are spiritually dead.
Transformed living in the now; a new creation. Life that’s isn’t in bondage to addiction. Life that can be free from fear. Life full of purpose. We don’t have to wait for abundant life. This resurrection is found in a person: Jesus.

Sermon Description:
Welcome to week five in our series on the I AM statements of Jesus. This week we are diving into Jesus as the Good Shepherd. As Pastor Ben shares, Jesus is not just good in our understanding of the word…but is actually the True, Authentic Shepherd that would lay down His life for His sheep. Jesus, knowing that like sheep we are helpless in dealing with our sin, comes to do it for us. When we choose to repent of our sins and embrace the love our Good Shepherd offers us, we experience REAL freedom in a loving relationship with Jesus Christ.

Scripture: John 10:9
Sermon Description:
Welcome to week four in our series on the I AM statements of Jesus.
With more and more doubts and questions arising about this man who claims to be God, Jesus continues into what would be His last public address.
Sheep, a very common animal of the day, were noticeably limited in their intelligence and ability to stay the path. Jesus boldly states that we are like sheep, who have gone astray.
Because sheep are so susceptible to attack and wandering, most homes had a pen built and often had a hired gatekeeper to protect he one way in and out. Any other attempt to enter the pen without going through the gate Jesus calls “a thief and a robber”.
Jesus is not claiming to be the gatekeeper, but rather the gate. He is the door. He is the ultimate protector and provider for all the sheep. There is only one way to eternal life and His name is Jesus.

Scripture: John 8:12
Sermon Description:
Welcome to Week Three in our series on the I AM statements of Jesus.
In John 8, right on the temple grounds, at the heart of the Jewish faith, Jesus himself states, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” This claim is shocking, not only to those in his midst as he said it, but for us today as well. Jesus says that they only way not to walk in darkness is to follow Him. And if we don’t? So much is at stake!
Jesus is the only one strong enough, pure enough, enlightening enough and powerful enough to show us our darkness, break our darkness, free us from our darkness and to change us to know what darkness and light even are! Jesus is the only light for the whole world, and if you walk in Him you will not be in darkness any longer.

Welcome to week two in our series on the I AM statements of Jesus.
God knows that we all long for eternity and the things that are eternal. This is one of the reasons that Jesus came to His day, and our day; to reveal how defective our view of life, existence, things and eternity really are and to FREE us from it.
Jesus comes to give food from heaven, He comes to reveal who He is and what He has to give, both in endless supply!
This is why Jesus calls himself the bread of life!

Sermon Description:
This week we tackle the 6th and 7th Commandments: do not murder, and do not commit adultery. These are heavy topics, so to address them we need to understand the true meaning of the Old Testament texts where these commandments are found, and then explore the implications for what they mean for daily life. In both cases, Jesus himself takes these commandments and expands upon them in the Sermon on the Mount. The bottom line: we are all more sinful than we could ever imagine, yet at the same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope (Tim Keller).

Sermon Description:
Christian Baptism is a way of demonstrating your faith in Jesus Christ. It demonstrates a new identification with Jesus as your Saviour and the leader of your life. The symbol of water baptism is profound and beautiful. When a person is immersed in water, the action is an expression of the death to your former way of life, and a resurrection to your new life in Christ.
Simply going through the ritual of baptism does not make you a Christian. Only one thing makes a person a Christian - faith in Jesus Christ. Water baptism is simply the “outward and visible sign” of God’s "inward and invisible" work. It is a step of obedience after trusting in Christ.
Nor does the ritual of baptism produce instant spiritual maturity. Being baptized is a step of obedience, but only one step in a lifelong pursuit of obedience to God. Spiritual maturity is the gradual development of the character of Christ over time, the result of a seasoned walk with Christ.
Baptism reminds us all that sin no longer own us, since we share in Jesus resurrection power we can say no to sin. And it also publicly and personally reminds us that this great symbol says one day we all be physically risen from the dead!
Series: Easter 2019
Series Description:
All of us want purpose, all want meaning, all want peace in the end. Which of course is part of being human, part of the human experience. And this leads all of us today seeker and skeptics, believers and unbelievers to ask where can one find these identity giving moments. Can it last more than a moment or is it always fleeting? Some of us trust in wealth, many chase beauty and youth, others follow power. Most want promotion. Some demand likes and status. We clamour around certain movements, systems of thinking found in books and podcast or other people or ourselves to find purpose to escape it all. Politics, video games, sex, money, jobs, friendship, food, travel, religion, Netflix, spirituality, mindfulness, control, manipulation the list goes on and on.
And it is here in this ongoing search that 3 people in the story of Jesus just before his death bring so much of this home. One is the best expression of political power and self-reliance, another the best that family connections and religious power hold and the last is what rebellion and brut force can bring, a Pilate the Roman leader and there is Caiaphas the high priest, and Barabbas the insurrectionist. We enter the Easter moment just before Jesus is confronted by Pilate and the Barabbas
And as we look at each historical person the question to all of us if we truly allow this to happen will be who do you trust in, who do we do want, who can give us real purpose, peace and meaning, identity?
Speaker: Jon Thompson
Scripture: Matthew 27
Sermon Description:
Matthew 27:21 “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor.“Barabbas,” they answered. 22 “What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called the Messiah?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify him!”
So it seems even Jesus with all his miracles, and love and kindness cannot overcome the world as it is even today. They held all the cards, this are the best 3 expressions of earthly power. Nothing changes again, religion wins, power wins, violence wins, injustice wins, Barabbas goes free, Pilate washes his hands, the Caiaphas keeps all things intact. Control, fear, intimidation, status quo at any cost So Jesus Barabbas is free and on his way, Caiaphas the religious leaders win, their greatest threat is dead! But fear based living makes them tie up all loose ends. Rome and Jerusalem get together one last time to end this religious, political, personal issue.
Well what happened? Well Matthew tells us just before the women arrive the best the institutional fear based religion could bring, the strongest political and military might, the worst back room scapegoating and injustice is thrown to the side like it was nothing. Heaven comes down into all we trust and hope for purpose, meaning identity, freedom and rest and breaks it, brushes it aside and opens up a new and living way.
So just when is seems that nothing will change, the powerful win, it is the most powerless, those that did not have access to anything money, power, backroom dealings it all gets swept aside by a greater more holy, more loving power.
What Saviour do you want? The answer, your response, is seen in which way you turn, will you be like the women running to find Jesus? Or will you be like the soldiers running back to the old forms of power and trust, running back to the world of Pilate, Barabbas and Caiaphas. Notice both were filled with fear but the end points are drastically different. Which news will you carry, to whom will you run. Most of us will run back with soldiers.
The resurrection of Jesus proves the body mattes, proves God is not done with you, proves our body will last forever. Your body has been stamped for resurrection, it is part of God’s plan and work to make all things right. We don't confess the immortality of the soul, we confess foreverness of the whole person, And so we cry out with all hope and confidence the old confession in the Apostles Creed that yes we believe in the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. Amen! you personally matter to God.
N.T.Wright simply wrote “The message of the resurrection is that this world matters!”

Scripture: Matthew 26
Sermon Description:
This Easter at C4 we’ve been asking the questions “Whom do you trust and whom do you follow?” Some trust in wealth. Some chase beauty. Some follow power. Some want promotion. Some demand likes. This Easter we’re saying,“GIVE US JESUS!”. On the night that Jesus was betrayed Matthew records the events this way. Matt 26:57 “Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the teachers of the law and the elders had assembled.” So what do we know about Caiaphas? Why is he so important to make it into the Bible. There are a lot of things we know about Caiaphas and understanding each of them is going to help shed light on exactly what is going on in this so-called trial of Jesus that eventually leads to his crucifixion.
Why was Caiaphas so bent on getting rid of Jesus? What was it about Jesus that rubbed Caiaphas the wrong way and drove him to such extremes to seek the death penalty, even through unusual and illegal methods?Remember Caiaphas is the High Priest and a Sadducee. He doesn’t like Jesus brand of spirituality. All this talk about heaven and the Kingdom of God. About love and forgiveness and prayer and fasting and giving - all with the right motives. I’m sure Caiaphas felt the threat to his religion when Jesus would address demons and cast them out of people. As a Sadducee Caiaphas didn’t even believe in the demonic, yet hundreds maybe more were telling of the freedom they’d found when Jesus spoke. There was a power & authority in Jesus that threatened everything Caiaphas believed, trusted in and stood for.
Here’s what Caiaphas helps us see on Good Friday 2019. It was true that night before Jesus went to the cross and it's true in this room right now. Jesus plus anything leaves you with nothing - that’s called religion. But Jesus plus nothing gives you everything - a faith based relationship.
Caiaphas has made his choice.
So what do we do when Jesus challenges us like he did Caiaphas? Do we want Jesus or Caiaphas? What will we do if Jesus threatens everything we hold valuable. Is he worth more than our power, our connections, our influence, our position, our good looks, our wealth, etc.
Can you honestly say today “Give me Jesus?”

Scripture: Mark 14:60-64; Matthew 27; Luke 23
Sermon Description:
Barabbas, a life of rebellion, a life of violence, a life of fighting the system, using violence to overcome violence, my life choices are justified because i am not as bad as the one I am fighting. You can become so consumed by a just cause, that you become eat you hate or the cause become where you think you find purpose, meaning, life and identity.
All three them if you got them in a room would say I am not those others, yet they all trying getting identity and purpose, all trying to deal the ups and downs of life by bringing all that they can. They all are motivated by
Fear, Self Sufficiency, intimidation, control to get purpose, meaning and peace even more a moment.
Yet Jesus never used any of these. And here is powerful moment in the story Jesus literally takes Barabbas' cross, he choose to take his place and Barabbas goes free, Jesus does not. Barabbas is unbound, Jesus remains bound, one Jesus dies so the other Jesus goes free.
And why would we every want to put our hope in Jesus and not anyone or anything else? Oh because he can give us what we all really want.
Jesus promises rest for the deepest part of us, but He requires us to take on His yoke. He offers to exchange the yoke we are already wearing for His yoke. If we won’t accept His offer, we will remain yoked to sin, lost dreams, broken relationships, dead religion, or lies. The lie that we are independent is just that, a lie. We always serve somebody or something. The choice for us isn’t whether to live unyoked or yoked but to choose the right yoke to wear. As R. T. France noted, “We should remember that the ‘rest’ Jesus offers is not relaxation of the demands of right… It is not the removal of any yoke but a new and ‘kind’ yoke which makes the burden ‘light’. A ‘yoke’ implies obedience, indeed often slavery! What makes the difference is what sort of master one is serving. So the beneficial effect of Jesus’ yoke derives from the character of the one who offers it.”6 Jesus promises purpose, meaning and peace in an ongoing permanent way.

Sermon Description:
As we conclude our series on the Spiritual Gifts we come to this final discussion on Disciplines, Gifts and Revival.
Is there a distinction between renewal, revival and awakening? Well at C4 here is how we use these 3 words.
RENEWAL: is when God touches the heart of a single individual.
REVIVAL is when God touches a community of faith on mass.
AWAKENING is when the wider society is impacted thought mass conversion and life change.
Disciplines are open to all Christians, they are normative. Spiritual gifts are also expected, normative but are sovereignly assigned. But what about other experiences that don't fall into either category, what do we do with revival? And how is the different and how does that change our expectations?
Revivals always include mass conversions of people to Jesus, and a true awakening takes place. But a common mistake many make is to pair the outworking or unusual manifestations of the Spirit during revival with the gifts that are always present in the daily Christian life. No, the revival settings I’ve described above are not about gifts or disciplines. As we have learned, spiritual disciplines are for all to exercise at any season of life. Spiritual gifts are sovereignly assigned and are normative, day in and day out. But revival is not normal, is not always, and neither are the results. Much of the time during revival there is greater power and presence of God, which means the disciplines are used more and the power behind the gifts is stronger. But revival is started and ended only by God.
These seasons are given to send us out and to sustain us over a lifetime. Don’t pair one experience with the other. Some revivals last days, some last years.
Should we pray for, ask for, and expectantly wait for God to move in revival? Absolutely. But if He says, “No,” or “Not yet,” that does not affect the gifts He has given or the disciplines He has modelled.

Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 7, Luke 9:23-25, 1 Corinthians 13:1-3, Revelation 6:9-11, Acts 6:1-7;7:59-60;15:36-41
So welcome the second last week in our series on Spiritual gifts, Today we end with two last gifts, we tackle gift tension head on, we talk about the grace needed for us to keep going.
Celibacy: The gift of celibacy is the special ability that God gives to certain members of the Body of Christ to remain single and enjoy it; to be unmarried and not suffer undue sexual temptation. Though many of us do not have the gift, we are all called to the discipline of chastity and fasting, either by situation of life (we are not married) or if we are married, by an agreed time of mutually seeking God! Others of us have this gift and we can celebrate and find joy in this. Now why would any of us even be willing to do this? To deny what we want, what we are, to not fulfilled as a culture defines it? And the answer is simple, we love Jesus more than our own lives, rights, wants and desires no mater how strong.
Martyrdom: The gift of martyrdom is a special ability to undergo suffering for the faith even to death while constantly displaying a joyous and victorious attitude that brings glory to God! One example is what happened in the story of Stephen. Christians went on the run for their lives but as they did the good news of Jesus spread all the way from Jerusalem, to Judea, to Samaria into the Roman world all by this man death. God takes hate and death and brings life and forgiveness and will reward those that suffer for his name.
Gift Tension & Grace: Our spiritual gifts make us respond almost instinctively (or better, with supernatural, spiritual sensitivity) to a situation that places us in a position to alert or encourage others to take action even though they may not perceive the need in the way we do. Most of us are grace-filled when it comes to the love gifts and word gifts as a rule.But when it comes to the power gifts, the grace drops real quick. For example, if someone speaks in tongues, but don’t do it correctly within the community, the response by others is too often a quick “See? It’s just fake; it’s not real”—rather than asking, “How could we do this better?’” We assume there’s room to grow and learn in the use of the love and word gifts but often don’t extend that assumption to the power gifts. Those are assumed to be delivered “fully functioning,” when in fact, just like the other gifts, people with power gifts have to grow into their gifting.
Speaker: Jon Thompson
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:7, 15:42; Revelation 21:4; John 5:19, 11:41-49; James 5:13-15
Sermon Description:
This week we will be continuing in our journey of understanding the Spiritual Gifts in "Power" category, focusing entirely on the gifts of Healing, Words of Knowledge & Words of Wisdom.
Healing: Those who have the gift of Healing experience a deep desire to see God alleviate physical problems in people and the willingness to be used by God to do so, an unusual ability to sense the power of God when it is present for healing, and the ability to trust God and believe that He wants to heal. You have the willingness to take risks for God… The principle of contagion probably applies here. Those who are around people operating in this type of healing ministry are likely to be drawn into it and be open to God releasing this gift in them so that they can release the healing to others. It is not about a show, it’s not about a big, dramatic display; it is about God healing people to either bring the person or others to Jesus in whose name the healing took place, or it is to heal followers of Jesus.
Words of Knowledge: The key idea in understanding this gift is that it functions like the gift of prophecy but not in a communal setting; it’s one on one. It is God giving a very direct word. But notice it is situational and prompting based, it’s a Power Gift. The word of knowledge functions when God gives you information about someone you have no direct access to any other way. The right exercise of this gift and the information God gives you always humbles, always helps, and never humiliates. It can bring healing to others, but never hurts them. So words of knowledge are similar to prophecy, but are directed to individuals.
Words of Wisdom: This gift is in action when God gives a situational word or a message acutely applicable in a moment that provides insight for people into the next steps of their spiritual journey. These are practical instructions like “go to this place” or “read this book.” Wisdom is knowledge applied, and in this case, every time the supernatural, situational word is given, you recognize it came from Jesus’ lips to you.
Series: Spiritual Gifts
Series Description:
Since we believe with all our hearts that Spiritual gifts are the only ongoing guaranteed place of power to serve from, we need to once again build the common script and understanding among all that make up C4 in this season.
As we step out together, we all need to discover, rediscover, rededicate and walk in a power that is not our own, to do the impossible in this context we find ourselves. When we start using and growing in our gifts we will experience the joy that comes from honouring God, serving others and knowing part of our purpose in this life, that will ripple into eternity!

Scripture: Ephesians 4:11; 1 Corinthians 12:7-10, 14:3-4; Romans 12:6; Acts 21:8-11; 2 Timothy 3:16-17
Sermon Description:
This week we will be continuing in our journey of understanding the Spiritual Gifts in "Power" category, focusing entirely on the gift of Prophecy.
The gift of prophecy can be defined as the ability to deliver truth in a public context in either a predictive nature or as a situational word from God in order to correct believers by exhorting, edifying or consoling them, or to convince non-believer's of God's truth.
A person operating in this gift is deeply impressed that God has by his Spirit given him or her a message to deliver in the situation. The message may result in further insight into God's word, cause conviction of sin, bring reproof, provide comfort or a new sense of direction to the group.
There are, of course, two audiences: those who have (or may have) this gift, and the rest of us. Like all the Spiritual Gifts, we all need to know how each other's work. But especially this one, because it concerns us all when it's used properly. It's so easy to be skeptical, bitter and dismissive with prophecy, but we can't be!

Series Description:
Since we believe with all our hearts that Spiritual gifts are the only ongoing guaranteed place of power to serve from, we need to once again build the common script and understanding among all that make up C4 in this season.
As we step out together, we all need to discover, rediscover, rededicate and walk in a power that is not our own, to do the impossible in this context we find ourselves. When we start using and growing in our gifts we will experience the joy that comes from honouring God, serving others and knowing part of our purpose in this life, that will ripple into eternity!

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12, Acts 2
Sermon Description:
Tongues: It can be a known or unknown language, it is given to some but no all Christians, it can be used evangelistically, tongues can used to authenticate the addition of new people into God's church, tongues can be used for edification in small groups or worship, tongues can be used to worship God by singing in tongues, to pray for others, to be thankful, to give inner assurance of communion with God, an affirmation of personal presence of God in your life. This gift can bring joy, allows you to cry out to God over others when words do not come. You can deeply changed and moved by this gift.
Interpretation: Paul's language about tongues is I wish, I would like, it is not you will, you can, you must! His point here is that intelligible prophecy is better and is God’s will for corporate gatherings. And if you do speak in tongues in a small group or a public worship time then it must be interpreted in this example by another so everyone can understand.
Intercession: This is a gift of prayer. It is not in formal list in Scripture but it and other gifts are inferred in scripture and this is a very strong one we need to address for a moment. The gift of intercession is the special ability that God gives to certain members of the Body of Christ to pray for extended periods of time on a regular basis and see frequent and specific answers to their prayers, to a degree much greater than that which is expected of the average Christian.

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12, Hebrews 11:6, Ephesians 2:8, Hebrews 5:14; 2:3, Acts 17:11, 1 John 4:1, James 4:7
Sermon Description:
This week we begin to learn together about the POWER gifts, starting with the gifts of Faith, Discernment of Spirits & Workings of Power through Miracles.
Faith: The spiritual gift of faith is not saving faith, or walking out our Christian faith in every day life. It a Spiritual gift. The gift of faith refers to the unusual capacity of a person to recognize in a given situation that God intends to do something and to trust God for it until He brings it to pass. The gift of faith is a Spirit-given ability to see something that God wants done and to sustain unwavering confidence that God will do it regardless of seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
Discernment of Spirits: The gift of discerning of spirits is the special ability God gives to some members of the Body of Christ which enables them to know with assurance whether certain behaviour purported to be of God is in reality divine, human or-satanic. You will get a glimpse of the behind the scenes supernatural reality in a situation, either a mental picture or in reality, you see physical symptoms that lead you to know something is wrong. You will see or sense demons in people, areas, places or situations, you will know when something that looks Godly but is human and about pride.
Working of Power through Miracles: The gift of miracles is the special ability that God gives to certain members of the Body of Christ to serve as human intermediaries through whom it pleases God to perform powerful acts that are perceived by observers to have altered the ordinary course of nature. Again this is casting out demons, raising people from the dead, changing the course of nature but notice it is not physical healing, that is a different gift.

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12, Ephesians 4:11, 2 Timothy 4:5, Romans 12:8
Sermon Description:
This week we follow up last weeks introduction to the Word Gifts by addressing those with the gift of Leadership/Ruling, Pastoring and Evangelism.
Leadership: A person operating with a ruling gift demonstrates the capacity to exercise influence over a group so as to lead it towards a goal or purpose with a particular emphasis on the capacity to make decisions and keep the group operating together. The gift of Leadership focuses more on the what and who and less on the how.
Pastoring: The pastoral gift is the capacity to exercise concern and care for members of a group so as to encourage them in their growth in Christ, which involves modelling maturity, protecting them from error and disseminating truth. The gift of pastor is the special ability that God give to certain members of the body of Christ to assume a long-term personal responsibility for the spiritual welfare of a group of believers.
Evangelism: this is the special ability in communication the Gospel message in relevant ways to unbelievers The gift of evangelism in general refers to the capacity to challenge people through various communicative methods (persuasion) to receive the Gospel of salvation m Christ so as to see them respond by taking initial steps in Christian discipleship.

Sermon Description:
Teaching, exhortation, and apostleship are three of the word-oriented gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Apostleship which is a pure leadership and expansion gift, pushing boundaries and overcoming obstacles as the Church continues its God-given work under the Great Commission.

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12
Sermon Description: When it is a gift there is a greater ease, there is a frequency and power, there are great results, there is more joy, and worship and Jesus feels closer, it’s a supernatural sweet spot!
The Love gifts (Administration, Helps, Mercy & Giving) are key to the church working right and Love gifts are secondary in the sense that they are all about supporting, building up what God has and is establishing through the leadership of a local church. This again is not about value at all but role.

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12
Sermon Description: The spiritual gifts must access a place of every growing character, a deep deep reservoir of love. The gifts of the Spirit must be undergirded by the Fruit of the Holy Spirit which is first and foremost love. We all as Christians get at least one gift and the gifts are given for one thing and one thing alone the common good. To build up, to rebuke, to encourage, to challenge to bring life to the community! They are not given for rivalry or jealousy and they are given to be used, not to be hidden in fear or be suppressed for any reason.

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12, Romans 12
Sermon Description:We at C4 believe every Christ follower is called to impact those around them through loving, joyful, gift-based service. We know that when we give God glory there is joy, we know that when we work in the areas God has gifted us we experience such powerful joy and we know purpose is given when we serve in our God given assignments.
But what if you don't know your Spiritual gifts? Or what if you have never been able to identify them and learn from others that have the same gifts? And what about the ongoing problem we have as the greater church body with so many different understandings of the gifts and our experiences with them. In this ten-week series we are going to address all of these questions head on.

Scripture: Hebrews 12:14
Sermon Description: Always in January we take a small pause, a Sunday to stop and be reminded about what we are as a church, what we are becoming, what we are about to do and what the Holy Spirit might be saying to us in this very moment as we prepare to step out in this next major leg of our journey as a church.
We need to be reminded of what we are and where we are going. Vision lacks in the best of times and the busyness of life causes all of us to forget so we need this picture vividly painted before because of where we are about to go.
