Every week we want to bring to your attention expository, Gospel-centred sermons from pastors across Canada. We hope that you become familiar with some of the faithful ministers of the word in our nation. We also hope that you will be edified on your daily commute or whenever you listen to these messages. We lastly hope that you learn about the churches where these pastors minister, so that you can easily find Gospel-centered, expository churches in your region.
Bradley Morrice on Galatians 4:8-31 (Montreal)
Paul utilise une logique un peu complexe parfois… une argumentation très élaborée. C’est ce que nous voyons dans le texte d’aujourd’hui. Paul incite les Galates à ne pas vivre par leurs propres forces selon la loi, mais bien de vivre par la force de Dieu au travers l’Évangile. On voit également que le royaumme de Dieu fonctionne avec un principe unique; celui de la promesse. Dieu fait une promesse et nous demande de croire en cette promesse.

Paul uses a logic a little complex sometimes … a very elaborate argumentation. That’s what we see in today’s text. Paul urges the Galatians not to live by their own forces according to the law, but to live by the power of God through the Gospel. We also see that the kingdom of God works with a single principle; that of the promise. God makes a promise and asks us to believe in this promise.
Here is the sermon
Paul Carter on Mark 11:22-25: “When Your Mountain Doesn’t Move” (Orillia)
Jesus said that his disciples would be world changes and mountain movers through the power of believing prayer; but what if you pray and nothing happens? What if you lean in to your mountain in faith and prayer and it rolls back on you and grinds you into the dust? What then? What does that say about you? What does that say about prayer? And what does that say about God?

Dan Thomson on 1 Samuel 22:6-23 (Charlottetown)
Saul had so much promise, although as we progress through 1 Samuel 22:6-23, you’ll notice that Saul should be strong, confident and wise. However, he was quite the opposite. He was full of fears. You’ll notice that Saul was acting out of desperation and fear which lead him to make irrational, selfish and prideful decisions which then cost innocent people their lives. He stopped listening to reason, even when Samuel tried to guide him. David, whom he was pursuing, on the other hand, took responsibility and was fully aware of the consequences of his actions. This is the difference between fearful leadership and Godly, wise and humble leadership. We’ll see later that David was far from perfect, but was not selfish in his pursuit of power or influence.

All people are summoned to look to Jesus Christ for salvation. The believer doesn’t stop looking to Jesus either. In this introduction to Philippians 2:5-11, Paul encourages us to consider Jesus– the call to gospel thinking.
Here are the sermon’s main points:
- Gospel Thinking Focused: The Humiliation & Exaltation of Christ

Rob Godard on Luke 23:32-34: “Famous Last Words (Father Forgive)” (Surrey)
Last words can be sad, and they can be funny…and they can be extremely meaningful! Knowing the last thoughts of those we love, or of famous people, can cause us to laugh or cry. The most precious words ever spoken are those spoken by Jesus on the cross. May these these precious words of Jesus encourage us to find meaning that will change our lives.
As we enter the Easter season, we want to look at Jesus last words, focused specifically on the cross.

Paul Martin on Exodus 19:1-20:21 (Toronto)
