In this sermon, we looked at the biblical framework upon which Paul calls us to speak in a manner worthy of the calling that God has bestowed upon us. By surveying various scripture portions, we observed that the words we speak are revealing about us, impactful to us, controllable by God and accountable to God. As Christians, we are called to speaks words that are full of truth, grace, and hope! May the good Lord bless our mouth and empower us with His Spirit to reflect the new heart He has given us.

The Gospel of John | How to Abide 31:58

6 weeks ago31:58

31:58

In this sermon we continue our study in John 15 and examine what it means to “abide” in Christ. We do this by Our Obedience, we remain in Him by following His commands, demonstrating our love through action. Yet it is by God Ordaining our perseverance that we remain in the Saviour. Finally, it is through Our Outpouring of Love to One Another that we abide and reflect the love of Christ we are to abide in. It is only when we abide in Christ can we hope to bear the fruit of our salvation.…

The Gospel of John | The True Vine 42:36

42:36

In this sermon we look at John 15 and Christ’s last I AM statement, “I am the true vine.” We unpack how this statement reveals that He is the fulfillment of God’s promise—succeeding where Israel, the unfaithful vine, failed. As the true vine, He also facilitates pruning, refining believers to make them more fruitful. Finally as the true vine, He produces fruit in our lives–giving evidence of a sincere faith. It is necessary that Jesus is the True Vine, because apart from Him we can do nothing.…

The Gospel of John | What Kind of Peace? 38:14

38:14

In this sermon we look at the kind of peace that Jesus offers to His followers in John 14. First, it’s a peace with perspective, focusing on kingdom thingsover earthly troubles. Second, it’s a peace that perseveres, steady through life’s hardest trials. Finally, it’s a peace that pardons, reconciling sinful man to a holy Godthrough Christ’s sacrifice. This is the true and lasting peace we have in Jesus—unshaken, unending, and secure.…

As we continue our study in John 14, we unpack how the Holy Spirit is to be our helper according to Jesus. First, He is a Constant Companion, never leaving us alone but dwelling within us. Second, He Cultivates Our Obedience, empowering us to follow Christ’s commands in love. Third, He Clarifies the Truth, teaching and reminding us of Jesus’ words.

The Gospel of John | Unity in the Trinity | Part 1 44:32

10 weeks ago44:32

44:32

In this sermon we continue our study in the Gospel of John and consider the importance of Christ’s unity with the Father. We learned that Christ’s unity with the Father assures us that His words are true and will come to pass, giving us a certain hope. It also calls us to consistent lives, as the Church now represents Christ’s authority and power on earth. Finally, it means our prayers are considered, for when we pray in Christ’s name, we speak with His divine authority before the Father.…

The Gospel of John | The Way, the Truth and the Life 28:54

28:54

“I am the way, the truth, and the life” these famous words of Christ is quoted to emphasize the sufficiency of Christ to unbelievers. But as we see from the context of John 14, the Savior says these words as a means to comfort His disciples. In this sermon we unpack how these famous words of Jesus are meant to comfort those who believe and trust him.…

As Missions Month concludes, we reflect on Matthew 9 and the Savior’s call to pray for laborers in the harvest. This sermon encourages us to have Christ’s heart for the lost, heaven’s perspective on salvation, and the willingness to move into action as laborers in the harvest.

In this sermon, Pastor Greg Armstrong of Saturate Church elaborates on his unique method of reaching Muslims with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He highlights the importance of using the Old Testament to deconstruct the Quran and the major pillars of Islam. Through this approach, the Bible not only refutes the claims of Islam but also stands alone as the authoritative and inspired Word of God.…

Kingdom | A People for His Possession 43:10

16 weeks ago43:10

43:10

In the final sermon of our Kingdom series, we discuss what it means to be a people for God’s possession. We saw how Peter’s words call back to the Old Testament and describe God’s covenantal relationship with His people. We then looked at what it means to be in a covenantal relationship with God which denotes a new citizenship, a call to stewardship, and a reconciled relationship with God. The new covenant in Christ welcomes us into the Kingdom of God and a new identity in Him.…

Kingdom | A Holy Nation 40:09

17 weeks ago40:09

40:09

Peter calls believers a “holy nation”, a people that is to be set apart from the world, but this task is easier said than done. In this sermon we look at how we can be holy just as God is holy. From Peter’s letter we see the need to believe differently than the world, which results in different behaviour. Believers benefit from holiness in a way that the world cannot attain in that we become more like our Saviour.…

Discipleship | Missional Community 35:45

26 weeks ago35:45

35:45

As we conclude our series on the discipleship culture of our church, we look at what it means to be a Missional Community and approach to reaching the lost. We looked deeper into the Great Commision and the way Christ sends out His disciples as our template for reaching the lost. We were reminded of Christ’s authority that enables us and gives us the confidence to win the lost. In addition we saw how we must be intentional with our lives, having discipleship as the purpose for our relationships with outsiders. Finally we were reminded that we don’t need to evangelise alone, but rather we have a community to lean on for support. We must make the Great Commision our mission to truly be a community that seeks to see lives changed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.…

Judge the Church 40:17

29 weeks ago40:17

40:17

A common talking point of the world is that “Christians should not judge people”. This however contradicts the Apostle Paul’s teachings in 1 Corinthians 5 to judge those within the church. In this sermon we look at the Apostle’s call to believers to not tolerate, and celebrate sin, nor should we associate with those who call themselves brothers but live a lifestyle of sin. Believers are held to a higher standard for the life we live because we are the Bride of Christ. We must therefore ensure that no hint of sin would be named amongst the body of believers.…

Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say So 39:35

31 weeks ago39:35

39:35

Thanksgiving for believers should never be an annual celebration, but should define their lives. As we look at Psalm 107 we are reminded of how those redeemed by God should practise gratitude. Thanksgiving should define believers, drive their praise and direct their lives, gratitude should be a defining characteristic of those who have been saved by God. So let the redeemed of the LORD say so, let us give thanks for the goodness and steadfast love He has demonstrated to us.…

As we close our study in the 13th chapter of John’s Gospel, we look at the new commandment that Christ gives to His disciples–to love one another just as Christ has loved us. We look at why this commandment is considered “new” and what this kind of love entails. The hope is that we love like Christ in the Church, knowing that our love should define us in the world.…

The Gospel of John | You Are Loved 41:48

41:48

Thesis: “God’s election depicts the depths of His affections.” This is what we see at the last supper and Judas’ betrayal. As we continue our study into the 13th chapter of John’s Gospel, we examine the depths of God’s love as demonstrated in His sovereign act of election. We are reminded that despite the difficult truth that some are chosen and some are not, God’s choice reveals much of His character, and His great love for the Church. It is because we have been chosen by God that we can truly say that “we are loved”.…

The Gospel of John | How to Wash Feet 40:44

34 weeks ago40:44

40:44

As we begin our study into the 13th chapter of John’s Gospel, we dive deep into the story Jesus washing His disciples feet. We see that this act serve as an object lesson for His disciples on how to love one another. It presents a love that is humble, that puts the needs of others first, and leads by example. In the same way Christ invites His followers to do the same, to show love even to those who would not love us in return.…

The Gospel of John | The Words of Christ 39:47

39:47

As we conclude chapter 12 of John’s gospel, we are reminded of the authority and power of Scripture as they are the words of Christ Himself. There is great hope for anyone who believes the word of God that their dark minds can be illuminated and be given wisdom. There is a reverence for Christ’s words knowing that failure to abide and believe them ultimately results in judgement. Finally, we are reminded that those who believe and follow the words of Christ are proven to be those who have a relationship with the Father. The words of Christ collected in the Bible are the words of life.…

The Gospel of John | What is the Glory of God? 47:22

36 weeks ago47:22

47:22

As we continue our study in the Gospel of John we examine the glory of God as manifested in Christ and His death. We see that God’s glory is specifically displayed to show humanity where to go, a revelation of God and His good will for us. But as we see from our passage, it’s not enough to “see” the light, we must also “believe” in the light; putting our faith in the embodiment of God’s glory–Jesus Christ. Finally, we also see how God’s glory separates believers and unbelievers in the simple fact that those who believe are those who are able to see God’s glory. Because of this, we echo Christ’s invitation, “while you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.”…

37 weeks ago36:01

36:01

As we jump back into our study in the Gospel of John, we pick up in chapter 12, following the triumphal entry. Here we see Christ's expectations for those who would follow Him. Followers of Jesus must die to self, putting the love of Christ above everything else in this world. Followers of Christ must also abide in Him, finding our ability to produce fruit in our Saviour. Finally, those who follow Christ must also hope in Him, trusting that despite the hardships, there is no greater reward than to be found as a follower of the Saviour.…

In the final chapter of Ruth we see the noble act of Boaz to marry Ruth, and how it foreshadows what Christ will do for His bride the Church. We see how just like Boaz, Christ redeems rejected sinners, and delights in His bride the Church. We also see the hope that in Christ the ruined find renewal. Jesus is the Boaz of the Church, the One who redeemed us from sin and death.…

Ruth | Persuasion 44:33

44:33

In the third chapter of Ruth, we see more themes pertaining to how godly relationships between men and women are to look. First we see that healthy relationships are done in community; it takes a "village" to build up and protect relationships. Secondly, we see the need for women to depend on men, in that godly men are to be the refuge of women. Finally, we see the call for men to protect the honour of women, not allowing them to face harm or ridicule. Relationships between men and women are to honour God, and are a reflection of the community around them.…

As we continue our study in the book of Ruth, we look at the complementary roles of men and women, as well as the characteristics that make the two genders honourable. From Ruth's example we see that honourable women are humble, hardworkers and fulfil their call to be helpmates.In addtion, we learn from Boaz's example that men are to be pious, providers and protectors. Ultimately what we see is that it takes honourable men for honourable women to thrive.…

Dead to Sin, Alive with Christ 40:05

40:05

In this sermon we explored Romans 6:1-14, emphasizing our union with Christ in His death and resurrection. We learned that grace doesn’t encourage sin but empowers us to overcome it. This union assures us of freedom from sin’s power and a transformed life. We are called to reject sin’s reign, offer ourselves to God as instruments of righteousness, and live under the empowering grace of God. As we internalize these truths, we are encouraged to reflect on our lives, identify areas needing change, and commit to living out our new identity in Christ. May God grant us strength and wisdom to live as true reflections of His grace and righteousness.…

In this sermon we look at a proper perspective when it comes to serving in the church. We see in Peter’s first epistle the call to be like Christ who served unto death, and the necessity for us to crucify the flesh in order to truly serve. This allows us to earnestly love others and glorify God with our service. We are called to be good stewards of the varied grace given to us, so that we may be surrendered to the work of the Kingdom.…

Taking from the Apostle Paul’s words in Ephesians 4, we are reminded that discipleship unites the church into the faith, as well as protects its members from being tossed about with false teachings. Discipleship is ultimately the method in which God grows His church to maturity and each individual to become more like Christ.…

We are reminded that our prayers should be guided by good theology, recalling to mind who God is as we pray, and that what we ask should be in line with His will. Prayer should also reinforce our trust in God, and be motivated by a sincere desire for holiness. Prayer is communion with God, expressing our union to the will and desires of God.…

Ultimately, it is the eyes that keep their focus on Christ that persevere through changing times.…
