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.
Paul Carter on Genesis 1:26-31 and Genesis 2:15-25 (Orillia)
This is the first message in a new series called “Family Matters”. For the next 6-8 weeks, God willing, Pastor Paul will be exploring topics such as marriage, parenting, loss, childlessness, singleness, caring for the sick, learning from the old and dying with dignity. In this first message he is working through Genesis 1 and 2 and discussing what this passage says about men and women in general and Christian marriage in particular. You can find it here.
Clint Humfrey on Habakkuk 3:1-19 (Calgary)
It is a false understanding of joy to think that you can only have it when things are going well in your life. In fact, joy is known most often in times of great difficulty. Are you going through a hard season? Then remember along with Habakkuk’s prayer that the hope of God’s mercy can revive you, strengthen you and save you.
Rejoicing in the Reviving Mercy of God:
Praying for God’s Reviving Mercy (vv 1-2)
Remembering God’s Righteous Wrath (vv 3-16)
Rejoicing in God’s Strong Salvation (vv 17-19)
Here is the sermon.
Jeff Eastwood on John 15:18-27 (Charlottetown)
In the midst of words of comfort comes a reality check—following Jesus will be met with opposition. Knowing this also brings comfort of a sort, and being able to trust Jesus through the inevitability of suffering and persecution brings the ultimate comfort. This week, Pastor Jeff Eastwood looks at John 15:18-27 in a sermon entitled “Gospel Resistance”.

Robbie Symons on Psalm 1 (Oakville)
“When this world is in the midst of confusion, chaos and anxiety, the Psalms deliver clarity, conviction and the peace of God. Psalm 1 in particular, provides us with God’s blueprint to the life of incredible blessing. Do you find that the challenges of everyday life have become a distraction from the Lord? Find the road map to the blessed life, beginning here in Psalm 1!”

George Sinclair on Galatians 1:1-9 (Ottawa)
Why is it that Paul says, “If anyone preaches a Gospel other than the one I preached, let him be accursed?” As Canadians, we find statements like this problematic. What does Paul mean? Why does he say what he says? The fact of the matter is, the true and only Gospel matters.
Here’s the link to George’s sermon.
Rob Godard on Romans 1 (Surrey)
AW Tozer once said: “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us”. In the last sermon in the series we have been working through on being “In the world, but not of the world”, Pastor Rob’s message focuses on gaining a Biblical view of God in a world that is invading the church by suppressing the truth.
To make sure we are not on the pathway of the World we must:
Be Saturated with The Truth
IGNITE our Relationship with Him
Eagerly Pursue Personal Knowledge of the God of the Bible
