One analogy used of the local church of Jesus Christ is the body. In this sermon, we look at what it means to be a part of that body and why every Christian should be part of a local body. The beauty of the body is that though there is diversity in its parts, there is unity in its purpose.Evergreen Chapel

One of the greatest dangers to a church, a marriage, a friendship, or any other relationship, is a lack of unity and division. The New Testament authors constantly warn churches against the danger of disunity, and in this sermon we look at one of those warnings. How can you become more united as a church and in any relationships you have?…

Wouldn't it be so great if our world embraced the morals of the Bible? We may not be able to win them to Christ, but what if we could win them to the morals of Christ instead? Well it sounds good, but there is a big problem with that. Moral reformation without spiritual regeneration leads nowhere but down. Join us as we study Luke 11:24-28 to see J…

In this passage we look at an instance of Jesus casting out a demon. But the focus of the passage is not so much on the individual demon, but on the power and authority of Christ in the cosmic war that is raging on. How do we respond to this power and authority and what is our role to play in the battle?…

In the previous sermon, we looked at the question of "what we pray" and the Lord's Prayer. In this sermon, we follow that up and look at our attitude in prayer. What can we expect from God in our prayers? How bold should we be in our requests? What type of God are we approaching?Evergreen Chapel

Prayer is an area where very few people will say they are satisfied in their current prayer life. Which is sad, because prayer is so foundational to our Christian walk. In this passage we look at the famous "Lord's Prayer", and how we can pray in the way our Lord commanded us.Evergreen Chapel

In this sermon, we look at the three important questions: Why do we sing? What do we sing? and how do we sing? Music was God's idea and invention that was gifted to mankind to be used for his purposes. God takes it seriously when we stray from those purposes, or when we begin to think we have the freedom to do whatever we want when it comes to sing…

We live in a busy world. We are very production oriented. There is lots to do in this world for our families and our churches and our community. But is it possible that we might be missing Jesus in the busyness of life? Join us as we look at how to serve and love Christ supremely in a busy world.Evergreen Chapel

In this sermon we look at the very familiar passage of the Good Samaritan. We all know the story and the lesson from it. Love your neighbour as yourself, be a compassionate person, help those in need, and so on. But what if the parable of the Good Samaritan is less about how to be a good neighbour, and more about how you're not a good neighbour, an…

God has created and redeemed his people to be builders. This building must be done in faith, and requires us to develop certain qualities of character. This week we will consider the qualities of faith-filled builders.Evergreen Chapel

We encounter a very similar passage to the one we looked at in Luke 9 when Jesus sends out the 12 apostles. And once again we are reminded of the responsibility of the church to partake is the spread of the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is the theme of the Bible, and it must be as important to us as it is to God. Listen to find out what Christ…

The passage we look at in this sermon is certainly one of the more challenging passages in the Bible. Jesus doesn't pull any punches, and very clearly re-establishes the cost of being his follower. And the cost is huge. But it is worth it!Evergreen Chapel

Rejection and opposition can be very frustrating. And because it is something that Jesus promises will happen as we are being obedient to him and his mission, it is something the Christian needs to learn how to deal with. So how do we respond to rejection and opposition in a Christlike way?Evergreen Chapel

In this passage, Jesus gives his disciples yet another rebuke. And this time, he is rebuking them for how they view others who aren't part of their group. How should we view and relate to other Christians who aren't part of out group? Are they competition or companions? Enemies or allies? How does this play itself out in our conversations and relat…

In this passage, the disciples encounter a particularly evil demon. They are unable to cast it out. Now is that because of lack of skill, lack of trying, or lack of faith? Turns out it is the latter. And there are serious consequences when the people of God are lacking faith!Evergreen Chapel

G.K.Chesterton said, "For when we cease to worship God, we do not worship nothing, we worship anything". We are people who are made to worship and behold. When we sin, we are worshipping something that shouldn't be worshipped. The solution to our worship problem, is not to stop worshipping, but to start worshipping the only one who is worthy of our…

In this sermon, we look at one of the most challenging passages of Scripture. Jesus begins by clarifying who he is, and he goes on to instruct his disciples on what that entails for them.

In this sermon we look at the very well known parable of Jesus feeding the five thousand. One clear truth is being communicated in this passage: God provides!

Conflict in marriage stinks. We need to get to the bottom of it. What is the real reason for conflict in marriage? Bad communication, a stressful life, a spouse that sins to much?

Husbands are not the only ones given a special role in marriage. Wives have an essential role that compliments their husbands, and completes a godly marriage. In this sermon, we love at three three main roles/duties/responsibilities of wives in marriage.Evergreen Chapel

A team is only going to function well if everyone plays the positions assigned to them. The same applies to marriage. God has designed certain roles/responsibilities within marriage, and a marriage will only flourish if it functions according to God's design for husbands and wives. In this sermon we look at what the husband is called to be/do in ma…

The Bible is full of radical calls. In this sermon we look at the radical call of Elisha by Elijah, and the radical call of Jesus to all his followers. How will you respond to the call God has put on your life?Evergreen Chapel

In this first sermon of our series on the Christian household, we look to answer the foundational question of "What is Marriage?". We find our answer in the very first pages of Scripture.

In this sermon we look at three survival truths f…

Ours is a culture of raging winds blowing against the walls of the church: calls have come to police and punish Christian language. This is the foundation of Christian loyalty to God, to retain His Words, speak freely, and pass them on to the next generation.Evergreen Chapel

We can sometimes glance over this very common passage on the parable of the sower without questioning whether or not we might actually be one of the not so favourable soils. How well do you listen to the word of God when it speaks? Are you indifferent to it? Shallow in your response? Distracted by other things? Or do you receive and do the word of …

One of the central truths of the Christian faith is that mankind is sinful and fallen. It is only when we willing admit this and our own sin, that we truly see how wonderful the grace of God is. And when we see how wonderful the grace of God is, we will love him with all our hearts!Evergreen Chapel
