On August 20th, 1989, Lyle and Erik Menendez shot and killed their own parents. Until then, this Beverly Hills family had been a portrait of the American Dream. How did it go so wrong?

The coming of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2, with tongues as of fire and a roar like violent wind, seems a far cry from many Canadians' hyper-reserved and solemn experience with church gatherings. If church life in the New Testament shows us anything, the gospel's advancement is exciting work. It was true then, and if we're open to the leading of the Holy Spirit, including here in Canada, it can be true for us today.

34:48

If you've ever felt like you've fallen short, the Apostle Peter's story should serve as a potent reminder that we can never be too far from God's grace. In this sermon, Rich looks at how a man who once denied Jesus three times became the bold voice of Pentecost only a few weeks later. Peter's sermon in Acts 2 highlights God's boundless grace, the importance of grounding our lives in scripture, and how ancient prophecies connect to the earth-shattering events fulfilled in Jesus.

Pentecost Still Matters 34:34

منذ 4 weeks34:34

34:34

There are many different opinions on what it means to be 'Spirit-filled,' but despite the differing perspectives and opinions, no Christian would want less of the power of God in their life. Without the Holy Spirit, no power of God has been shown to any of us, including the power to repent and turn to Jesus. We can debate the terminology and timing all we want, but scripture is explicitly clear: we need the Holy Spirit. Support the show…

38:53

Regarding the moving of the Holy Spirit, the first verses of Acts 2 show us that, in essence, we can respond in two ways. We can either look in with awe and wonder or foolishly mock. How will you respond to what you see the Holy Spirit doing, and how should we respond as a church? Support the show

Allow* God, Celebrate God, & Expect God 33:41

منذ 9 weeks33:41

33:41

New Year's resolutions often set us up for disappointment by focusing on our efforts. The same can be true for Christians resolving to be "better" through more prayer, Bible study, or church attendance. This year, instead of self-dependent resolutions, we need ones that rely on God. Using Psalm 135, Rich Crosby offers an alternative vision for spiritual growth: allowing, celebrating, and expecting God to be God. Support the show…

Hidden Christmas 3 - The Glory of God to the Lowest 39:10

منذ 12 weeks39:10

39:10

Angels are a predictable feature of Christmas traditions, whether on a card or a tree. But when Jesus was born, the appearance of angels to shepherds in the field was both surprising and terrifying. Perhaps more surprising was that it was to shepherds , who would have been thought of as lowly and insignificant by society, whom God chose to have angels announce the birth of his son first. The good news of Jesus is for all, and the lowly and forgotten are often among the first to receive blessing from God. Support the show…

Hidden Christmas 2 - Jesus, Joseph, & Just Masculinity 34:14

منذ 13 weeks34:14

34:14

There isn't a lot that we know about Joseph, the earthly adoptive father of Jesus, but we do know he was 'a just man.' What does Matthew, the gospel writer, mean by that, and what do the other brief details of Joseph's decisions show us about a biblical view of masculinity? In this sermon, Rich Crosby looks at how Joseph's determination to show mercy to Mary points ahead to the mercy shown to us by Jesus. Support the show…

Hidden Christmas 1 - The Broken Path to the Saviour of the World 24:38

منذ 14 weeks24:38

24:38

As beautiful as the Christmas story is, we sometimes struggle to see the connection between a story set hundreds of years ago and our realities today. However, the facts surrounding the birth of Jesus, as found in the Biblical gospels, are anything but typical, and some of the details are simply shocking. Matthew's gospel starts with Jesus's family genealogy, which includes flawed men and women including adulterers and prostitutes. The Son of God comes from a broken earthly family; He understands our brokenness. Support the show…

What to do when everything goes wrong 42:56

Maintaining a deep connection with God is crucial for navigating life's challenges. In this sermon, guest preacher Andy Arnold from Oceanside Church in Nanaimo helps us understand God's instructions when we face significant life obstacles. For the followers of Jesus, it all starts with remembering who we are because of him. Support the show…

Jesus Sees Your Greatest Need 42:40

منذ 16 weeks42:40

42:40

In Matthew 9, we read about Jesus healing two blind men who, despite their blindness, could 'see' who Jesus was much more clearly than the crowds and the religious leaders of the day. Do we see Jesus for who he is, as declared by all scripture, or do we see Jesus as a 'cosmic butler' who we ask to do the things we want? Support the show…

Acts: How to Make Wise Decisions 27:11

منذ 17 weeks27:11

27:11

Learning to make wise decisions is better than just being told what to do. In Acts 1, we can see how prayer, submission to God's word and remembering God's more excellent story can help us make wise decisions about our own. We also read that 'Peter stood up' among the early church, an incredible statement of grace considering that he had tragically denied Jesus only days earlier. Support the show…

Acts: Being Empowered & Waiting Well 32:10

منذ 18 weeks32:10

32:10

There is a lot in our culture that tries to sell us empowerment. Did you know the Bible speaks about you being empowered by God? However, this is a very different type of empowerment with a different intention; it is not built around you. Being empowered by God often requires us to wait on God, and it is good for us to learn to wait well in all things. Support the show…

Acts: When Jesus Doesn't Answer Our 'When?' 36:10

منذ 19 weeks36:10

36:10

Sometimes, Jesus doesn't answer the way we want when we ask, 'When?' This is precisely what the disciples experienced towards the beginning of Acts 1, but that doesn't mean that Jesus withholds good from them. Jesus sometimes may not answer our questions the way we want, but he still offers us infinitely more than we originally asked. Support the show…

Acts - An Introduction 46:01

منذ 20 weeks46:01

46:01

Of all the words used to describe church today, 'exciting' would not be at the top of most people's minds. Yet the book of Acts, with tongues of fire, healings, angels breaking people out of prison, and even shipwrecks, shows a very different type of church life. It's exciting and even terrifying at times. But it also shows us a church on the move, empowered by the Holy Spirit of God. More than the acts of the apostles, the book of Acts is about the work of the Holy Spirit, the same Holy Spirit who is with the church today that we desire to be moving among our church as well.

(Re)Understanding Church - Part II 38:57

منذ 22 weeks38:57

38:57

Read the following statement - "The church is holy." What goes through your mind? Many would immediately think of wrongs committed by the church or pains or disappointments they've experienced as part of a church. There's no doubt the church, like the world, is home to many unholy actions. Still, in a remarkable act of grace, God speaks of his people as a holy people, and his people today are the church.
