February 13, 2022 - Why did Jesus say, "Blessed be the Poor?" A sermon on Luke 6:20-26

Luke 6:20-26 (Click to Read)
Preacher: Jasmine Chandra

Jesus said, "Blessed are the poor, blessed are the hungry, blessed are those who weep, and blessed are those who are hated." Ask anyone who falls under one of the above categories and I doubt they'd tell you that they feel particularly blessed. And yet, Jesus pronounces them blessed anyway. Why? That's the question that Jasmine will be exploring in her sermon on Luke 6:20-26.

Why did Jesus say, "I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE?" (A Bible Study on John 11:1-44)

Teacher: Terence Chandra

In this, the 7th part of our Bible Study series on the I AM sayings of John's Gospel, we will take a deeper look at Jesus' words, "I am the resurrection and the life." These are words that Jesus declares to a grieving Martha, shortly before he goes to the tomb and restores her dead brother, Lazarus, to life. What does it mean for Jesus to be the resurrection and the life? And, how is that significant to us? That's what we'll be exploring in today's Bible Study on John 11:1-44.

WHY JESUS SAID, "I AM THE GATE": a BIble Study on JOhn 10:1-10

Teacher: Terence Chandra

In this (the 6th part of a 9 part Bible Study series on the "I am" sayings in John's Gospel) Jesus tells a peculiar parable. In this parable, he implies that the people of God are like a sheep pen- that is, a walled inclosure providing shelter and safety to the flock. Jesus goes on to explain that he himself is the GATE to that sheep pen. What does Jesus mean by this? That's what we will explore in today's Bible Study.

January 16, 2022 - Water into Wine: a foretaste of the COming Kingdom

JOhn 2:1-11 (click to read)
Preacher: COralie Losier

In today's sermon, Coralie takes a deeper look into the well known story of Jesus turning water into wine during the wedding in Cana of Galilee. She poses three very important questions, each of which are worth reflecting upon: 1. Do we invite Jesus to be a part of everything in our lives- not just the hard times but even the celebrations? 2. Do we point struggling people to Jesus? 3. When we pray, are we willing to do what God tells us to do?

January 9, 2022 - a Sermon on Jesus' Baptism

Mark 1:4-11 (Click to Read)
Preacher: Terence Chandra

Our culture encourages an obsession with identity. "Who am I," we often ask, "in light of my race, ethnicity, economic background, sexual orientation and so on?" Today's reading from Mark's Gospel (the story of Jesus' baptism) is all about identity; specifically, the identity of Jesus. Who exactly is Jesus? What does God the Father say about him? How is his identity shaped by what he does? The story of Jesus' Baptism also encourages us to contemplate our own identity in light of Jesus. How does Jesus' identity shape and define whom we are? That's what Terence will be exploring in his sermon on Mark 1:4-11 (the story of Jesus' Baptism).

The "I Am" Sayings of Jesus (I am the Good Shepherd): a Bible Study

12/15/2021

John 10:11-18 (Click to Read)
Teacher: Terence Chandra

In ancient times, leaders (i.e., judges, kings, emperors) were often likened to shepherds. After all, shepherds were responsible for feeding, protecting and directing their flocks- tasks which ancient rulers saw as their own. As most of us are probably aware, Jesus used shepherding imagery in many of his teachings and parables, even going so far as to liken himself to a shepherd. However, instead of simply saying, "I am like a shepherd," Jesus actually says, "I am the GOOD shepherd." What does Jesus mean when he says that he is specifically the good shepherd? That's the question we'll be exploring today in our Bible Study on John 10:11-18.

Malachi 3:1-4 (Click to Read)
Preacher: Terence Chandra

A crucible, as most people are aware, is a vessel used to contain precious metals as they are purified and refined under intense heat. In today's Old Testament reading, the Prophet Malachi uses the image of the crucible to describe what will soon happen to the nation of Israel: A mysterious messenger will one day come and, through the intense heat of his preaching, purifying the nation of Israel of its impurities. Who is this so-called "messenger?" And how can we, as the people of the church, cooperate in God's refining work? This is what we'll explore in today's sermon on Malachi 3:1-4.
