Opawa Baptist Church - Sermon Audio

What does it mean to be created in the image of God and how does that affect our calling?

What does it mean to give? Loving God with all our heart, all our soul, all our mind and all our strength. What does that look like?

What is Prayer? Exploring God's intention for us when it comes to Prayer.

What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? It is a real life challenge for us to not just believe, but to also live out our belief.

We complete the series: Reframing Jesus, by unpacking one of most poignant verses in the Bible, Matthew 27:46.

How do we prepare for the inevitable storm? How does our relation with Jesus help us to weather those storms?

Temptation is something personal, and does not just come upon you unexpectedly. Satan knew how to attack Jesus. He knew when He was weak and he knew what to say. How are you dealing with temptation in your life?

To understand Martin Luther King, you need to understand the civil rights movement. Understanding the world environment at the time of Jesus' birth, is paramount to understanding who Jesus is, and why He chose to be born at that time period.

Commitment is all encompassing, when we give our lives to Christ, then our lives belong to Him.

Like every good Jewish name, Habakkuk’s name has a meaning. It means to embrace. It means to wrestle. Even when you are in the dip and you don’t understand, you continue to embrace God, even perhaps, wrestle with Him. You embrace Him, and even though He may not change the outward circumstances, or He may, He will take you spiritually to a new place of trust.

What's going on here? That's the question Habakkuk is now faced with. Things have gone from bad to worse and there doesn't seem to be any light at the end of tunnel... Ever been there?

Part one of our series on the book of Habakkuk. Why God? It is the question that Habakkuk struggles with. In this opening chapter God's response is a difficult one and hard for Habakkuk to take.

Fear is not something we associate with Christmas, yet it was feeling shared by the key protagonists. Especially the fear of rejection and the fear of failure!

As we come into Christmas we hear stories about the shepherds and the wise men coming to worship the baby Jesus, but what does worship mean for you and I today.

Joy is usually the common theme for the Christmas season. What does it actually mean?

What is God's purpose for us? It is an age old question and as the final part in our Vision series we will seek to answer that.

What does it mean to be on a "mission"?

When Jesus called someone to be His disciple, he meant for them to his pupil, his student, his follower. In other words, Jesus was saying, 'What I want you to do is I want you to live like I live. I want you to love like I love and I want you to do what I do. Follow me. I'm not asking you just to believe what I believe, but I'm asking you to live what I live.' Let's do life together. Let's go and change the world together. I'm not inviting you to a belief system or to join an organization, I’m not asking you to become a theologian or debate the finer details of some obscure theological argument. I'm inviting you to be a part of a movement. Would you come along and follow me?

What does it mean to be a leader in the Church? What should our expectations be and what does the Bible say about leadership?
