The Gospel According To Luke | Luke 13:22-30 | Pastor Rob Haslam
April 21, 2024 12:30 - 23 minutes - 21.5 MBOne of the most important questions any of us can ask is this. Will I be saved? Will I go to heaven? How can I know God will save me? Will I be saved when I die? Can you think of a more important question with such long-term implications? I mean, we’re talking eternity here. How do people answer?
The Gospel According To Luke | Luke 13:18-21 | Pastor Rob Haslam
April 14, 2024 12:30 - 20 minutes - 19.2 MBIn this passage, Luke records Jesus explaining the Kingdom of God to people. That fact that Jesus was explaining it suggests that it was something that required explaining. So, he uses common language to help people connect with the meaning of the Kingdom of God. JESUS WANTS HIS LISTENERS TO UNDERSTAND THE KINGDOM OF GOD Why would Jesus want His listeners to understand the Kingdome of God? Seek first His Kingdom. Understand the purpose of it and our role in it. Learn...
The Gospel According To Luke | Luke 13:10-17 | Pastor Rob Haslam
April 07, 2024 12:30 - 29 minutes - 26.9 MBJesus’ perspective on the Sabbath as a day for deliverance is vindicated, as Luke recounts the humiliation of Jesus’ opponents and the joy of the crowds at his wonderful (healing) deeds (Luke 13:17). Although we do not hear about the woman who has been healed at the end of the passage, the praise she offers to God echoes with the crowds’ rejoicing. Both themes of praise and rejoicing are emphasized by Luke as appropriate responses to God’s work in Jesus. OUR PERSPECTIVE DOES NOT DETERMI...
The Effect of an Empty Tomb | Matthew 28:1-8 | Pastor Andrew Sherman
March 31, 2024 12:00 - 40 minutes - 55.1 MBIf the tomb of Christ was indeed empty, it is the most significant event in all of human history. The Roman soldiers, the disciples, and us today all are effected by that empty tomb.

Palm Sunday | Who Is The King? | Pastor Rob Haslam
March 24, 2024 12:30 - 22 minutes - 20.7 MBIf you describe a man as the king of something, you mean that he is the most important person doing that thing or he is the best at doing it. He was the king of the cowboys. That is about as close a relationship as we have to the term “King”, in our modern experience. We did not grow up in a country with a king. There is no ultimate authority in Canada that would be like a king. There isn’t someone that we would all run out into the streets and pledge our allegiance to. So how do we co...
The Gospel According to Luke | Luke 13:6-9 | Pastor Rob Haslam
March 10, 2024 12:30 - 25 minutes - 23.7 MBA parable is, literally, something “cast alongside” something else. Jesus’ parables were stories that were “cast alongside” a truth to illustrate that truth. His parables were teaching aids and can be thought of as extended analogies or inspired comparisons. A common description of a parable is that it is an earthly story with a heavenly meaning. What would we expect a farmer to do with a plant that did not produce any fruit? We would expect him to cut it down and try again with a differe...
The Gospel According to Luke | Luke 13:1-5 | Pastor Rob Haslam
March 03, 2024 13:30 - 26 minutes - 23.8 MBThe invitation to repent is a call to absolute surrender to the will and purposes of God. It means to turn to the Lord and live in constant awareness of him. Jesus issued this radical call to all people, saying, "Unless you repent, you will all perish!" (Luke 13:3). Jesus called urgently and repeatedly for repentance: Mark 1:15 "The time has come," Jesus said. "The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!"
The Gospel According to Luke | Luke 12:54-56 | Pastor Andrew Sherman
February 18, 2024 13:00 - 35 minutes - 48.1 MBDiscernment of the times that we live in is not much different for us than it was for the Jews of Jesus' time. We have to be watchful and study His Word to be able to see what He is doing right in our midst.

God Calls Us To Baptism | Pastor Rob
February 11, 2024 13:30 - 23 minutes - 21.5 MBToday I want to try to clear some things up about baptism. I don’t want you to miss what baptism means, and my goal is to give you an understanding of what we do here, why we do it, and what the Bible has to say about it. For Some – refresher, that’s alright! For others, I hope it will answer some of the questions that you have.
The Gospel According To Luke | Luke 12:49-53 | Pastor Rob Haslam
February 04, 2024 13:30 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MBFollowing our Lord Jesus Christ will assuredly divide many families and reconciliation, in this instance, is impossible, unless all come to faith in Christ. People are responsible for their decisions concerning Jesus. It is best that people seek to be reconciled to Christ before that final day of judgment arrives, when it will be too late. May none of us be a part of this second group. Jesus in His first coming has already endured the “fire” of God’s wrath. He has already died for the ...
The Gospel According to Luke | Luke 12:35-48 | Pastor Rob Haslam
January 28, 2024 13:30 - 35 minutes - 32.4 MBThere are two kinds of people that have knowledge of Jesus. There are those who seek to live faithfully, passionate for the Lord? There are those who have hearts convinced that the master is delayed and are living for themselves, obeying their desires and lusts? If you were to do a life inventory, where do you land? The encouragement from this passage is to stay dressed for action, keep the lamps burning, and live every day in expectation of our master’s coming. When he comes, we...
The Gospel According to Luke | Luke 12:22-34 | Pastor Rob Haslam
January 21, 2024 13:30 - 30 minutes - 28.2 MBI am confident that if you ask people around me, you will learn that I am independent. I would say that I am independent to a fault. Asking for help is a very difficult thing for me. I would rather offer help than receive it. I grew up unable to depend on my parents due to the abuse in the home, which has caused me to struggle to depend on others. According to D’Amore Mental Health: When referring to Adults who were abused as children. "They become overly independent because they do...
The Gospel According to Luke | Luke 12:13-21 | Pastor Rob Haslam
January 14, 2024 13:30 - 28 minutes - 26.4 MBJesus is after something significant in this story about the "Rich Fool". In this success story, there is something tragically missing. God is never found in his story or even acknowledged in any way. Greed had replaced God in his life with things. In other words, money and possessions had become his gods. Instead of wanting more and more of God it was more and more of things. Success is a wonderful thing, but getting acquainted with God is even better.
The Gospel According to Luke | Luke 12:1-12 | Pastor Andrew Sherman
January 07, 2024 13:00 - 33 minutes - 45.9 MBHypocrisy is not something that we are to hold in our lives. It leads to entire corruption of our soul. Jesus encourages us to deal with it and rely on His saving grace instead.

The Gospel According To Luke | Luke 11:37-54 | Pastor Rob Haslam
December 31, 2023 13:30 - 36 minutes - 33.5 MBLook deep into your heart and ask the question when your friends are your neighbors see you do they see a faith that represents what you say? Or, are you saying one thing and showing another? Are your actions and your motives lining up with one another? If not, whether you even realize it, you’re doing exactly what these Pharisees, these experts in the religious law did in Luke chapter 11.
Advent-ually | Advent Welcome | Pastor Rob Haslam
December 17, 2023 13:30 - 22 minutes - 20.3 MBHow could we miss Christmas, when we spend so much of our energy purchasing things for Christmas?” Yet I am convinced so many millions will miss Christmas this year. Today I want to talk to you about four groups of people who did not welcome Jesus that first Christmas and 4 who did.
Advent-ually | Wandering | Pastor Rob Haslam
December 10, 2023 13:30 - 23 minutes - 21.6 MBOne of the things we learn from the book of Genesis is that sin is progressive. Genesis 3 records mankind’s first sin. Genesis 4 records mankind’s first murder. It doesn’t take long for sin to start its downward spiral. And because of sin, we are all wanderers on this earth. We are going to look at several examples of wandering in the scriptures this morning. We will look at Cain as an example of wandering as punishment for sin. We will look at Israel as an example of wandering due to lack...

Advent-ually | Advent Waiting | Pastor Rob Haslam
November 26, 2023 13:30 - 24 minutes - 22.3 MBWaiting seems to be one of those things we dislike from a young age. We get impatient when there is something we want and especially when it is something very important to us. Israel was waiting for their Messiah to arrive to ushing in His kingdom and free them from oppression. We are waiting for the return of the Messiah who will ultimately complete His mission.

The Gospel According To Luke | Luke 11:29-32 | Pastor Rob Haslam
October 29, 2023 12:30 - 25 minutes - 23 MBWe are all look up to someone. Maybe it is an athlete, a tech mogul, a movie or TV star. The Israelites also looked up to people in the Bible as being great. In this lesson we learn that Jesus is greater than anyone we can look up to.

The Gospel According To Luke | Luke 11:14-28 | Pastor Rob Haslam
October 08, 2023 12:30 - 28 minutes - 26.2 MBWe must either stand with Jesus or against him, there is no non-aligned position. The prince of this world (John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11) seeks to neutralize our witness, to silence our testimony, to undermine our credibility. We cannot compromise our stand. We must stand with Jesus and laborers in his harvest work, or by our example we help to scatter and weaken Jesus' church and kingdom. This passage reminds us that Jesus is the Stronger Man who has the power to overcome the lies, enticement...
The Gospel According To Luke | Luke 11:1-13 | Pastor Rob Haslam
October 01, 2023 12:30 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MBSome of us may remember reciting the Lord's prayer in school growing up. I didn't know it at the time but this incredible prayer Jesus taught us had a great deal more depth than I understood. In Luke's Gospel, we learn through Jesus' teaching this prayer that we are to pray shamelessly, persistently and expectantly.

September 24, 2023 12:30 - 33 minutes - 30.5 MBThere are so many practical examples in the Bible of how life is lived and how it could be better. Luke tells us of a woman named Martha who does something really good and God honoring, who needed to be directed to enjoying the presence of God rather than only focusing on doing deeds for God.

September 03, 2023 12:30 - 31 minutes - 28.6 MBAt the end of His ministry in Galilee, Jesus focuses His attention on Jerusalem in a resolute way.

At the closing of this time of His ministry, He speaks to His disciples regarding His death for a second time.
