Canadian Street Light Podcast

This is our first message in the wonderful book of Philippians! We see three trade marks of the church at Philippi and look at how this church can instruct and encourage us today in the 21st century!

This is our second episode as we continuing exploring the issues of Calvinism/ The Doctrines of Grace. It is our prayer that clarity is brought to the whole issue for many and also that false conceptions are also confronted and corrected. Soli Deo Gloria! http://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/548972889-redeeminggracestudio-common-questions-and-misconceptions-regarding-calvinism-part-2.mp3

In preparation to our study in the book of Philippians, we first go to the 15th chapter of the book of Acts and get some of the context around the beginnings of the church at Philippi. 

This concludes our study of the doctrines of Grace. We praise God for faithfulness and power to hold us fast to Himself!

We turn now to the final letter in the TULIP acronym and the “P” stand for “Perseverance of the Saints”. In this sermon we start to look at the beautiful truth that God keeps us and is faithful to finish the work He began in us at conversion. We also take some time to look Read more about The Perseverance of the Saints (part 1)[…]

This is a podcast I recorded with Pastor Ben for the Coram Deo Baptist Church Website. But I so enjoyed talking with Ben about the Doctrines of Grace that I thought it would be good to share it here as well!

As we continue to look at the doctrine of the atonement we must understand what the Scriptures reveal to us. Christ did not make salvation a potential reality, but rather a definite one for those whom the Father had given Him!

As we continue our study of the Doctrines of Grace, we come now to the “I” in our TULIP acronym which stands for Irresistible Grace. We look at John 6 where Jesus teaches how it is that we come to Him.

As we move through the doctrines of grace we come to the “L” in the TULIP acronym. The L stands for “Limited atonement” and so we look at in what sense the atonement is limited. While it is unlimited in it’s sufficiency, we do see that there is a definite group of people that Jesus Read more about What Did Christ Accomplish on the Cross?[…]

As we continue working through the doctrines of Grace, we now look at the doctrine of election as taught in the Scriptures. We focus in on Romans 9 to study this particular doctrine.

This is the first sermon in a series called, “What in the World is Calvinism?” While it is a topic that has been at the centre of many conflicts, it is important that we seek to know the truth and the understand the full counsel of God!

A Sermon from Luke 16 about the parable of the Shrewd Manager.

This is a Coram Deo podcast I did with Pastor Ben, but thought I would share it here as well!  

This is a sermon from Luke 10:25-37 on the passage where Jesus uses the parable of the Good Samaritan to explain what it means to love neighbours as God desires.

This is a sermon by Martin Lloyd Jones from the MLJ trust. In it, Lloyd Jones reminds us that the gospel is an offensive message and calls us to stand as good soldiers of Christ and to faithfully preach salvation in no other name but Jesus.

In this sermon we continue to study the Sermon on the Mount in Luke 6. Jesus holds out the standard for his followers as they relate to others and use discernment. It is crucial that followers of Jesus judge with clear eyes. Luke 6:37-42

This is a sermon preached on Resurrection Sunday 2018. We explore the question, “What is unique about the resurrection of Jesus?” Starting in 1 Corinthians 15 and then also looking at Acts and other teachings from the apostles of Jesus.

In this Palm Sunday sermon we look at John’s account of Jesus riding towards Jerusalem as he approaches Calvary. Jesus declares to all that he is the promised king and messiah and yet rides not to overthrow earthly rulers, but to atone for sin at Calvary.

In this message we continue to look at the instructions Jesus gives to his disciples in dealing with conflict and how to respond to abuse and corruption.

As we continue working through the Sermon on The Mount, we come to a unique passage in Luke where he records the “Woes” of Jesus. Listen in as we seek to understand what Jesus is warning about… Luke 6:24-26

In this message we look at the last beatitude as recorded by Luke. Suffering seems meaningless to our natural mind, but Jesus teaches that is it a mark of His disciples and that it is actually a part of living a truly blessed life before God.

In this sermon we look at the third beatitude that Luke records for us which is “Blessed are those who weep now for you shall laugh”. We consider some ungodly forms of sorrow and then also some godly forms of sorrow as seen in the Scripture.

In this sermon we look at the second Beatitude as recorded by Luke, and it is “Blessed are the Hungry”. We look at what it means to be hungry, how we become aware of our hunger and also what it means to be satisfied. Luke 6:21

In this sermon we begin looking at the Sermon on the Mount as recorded by Luke. We look at the first of the four Beatitudes that Luke records for us, which is “Blessed are the Poor” Luke 6:19-21

As we continue to see the way in which Jesus chooses his apostles we make three observations from the gospel of Luke. Luke 6:12-19

As we continue our study in the gospel of Luke we take some time to examine the prayer life of Jesus and from his amazing model of prayer seek to also learn to prayer.

As we wrap up our Advent series for 2017 we look at the response of Father towards the Son. Because the Son willing came as the humble and obedient servant, the Father is pleased to highly exalt him and give a the name that is above every name!

In this first advent message we spend some time looking at the eternal nature of the Lord Jesus. While we often think of Christ as the the child in a manger during this season, let us not forget that he did not originate as a baby in the womb of Mary, but rather has always Read more about Beholding the Eternal Son![…]

In this sermon we continue to look at Jesus response to the question regarding his disregard for the religious customs of his day. Through some fascinating illustration, Jesus points out that he did not come to conform to the traditions of man, but rather he came to replace them and to fulfil the law and Read more about The New Has Come![…]

In this message we are continuing our study in Luke’s Gospel account. In Luke 5:27-32 we have the amazing account of the call and conversion of Levi who is another name for the disciple Mathew. We see the stunning grace of God as Jesus calls this man from a place of known sin. We see Read more about Jesus Friend of Sinners[…]

As we come to the end of our study of the five Solas, we look at the Word of God through the prophet Isaiah and God reveals his glory and the motivation of his redemption to us.

This week we look at the fourth “Sola” in our study which is Christ Alone. Two primary parts to this central truth of the Christian faith are the exclusive identity of Jesus, and secondly the sufficient work of Jesus. We look at these two, even if briefly, in this sermon…

As we continue in our study of the “Five Solas” of the reformation, which we believe are rooted in the Scripture, we come to “Grace Alone” and see how the grace of God is an amazing work of the triune God, the Father, the Son and Spirit.

In light of the 500 year anniversary of the protestant reformation, we are starting a series on the Five Solas. Faith Alone, Scripture Alone, Grace Alone, Christ Alone, and to the Glory of God Alone. In this passage we dive into the doctrine of justification by faith alone as well as looking at a bit Read more about Faith Alone![…]

As Jesus leaves the synagogue and enters Simon’s house, we continue to see his authority and mercy as he heals and delivers many. Luke 4:38-44

This is a message from Luke’s Gospel. We see that after Jesus is baptized and affirmed by the Father and the Spirit as the Messiah and beloved son, he is then led into the wilderness for testing. In this sermon we look at the first two tests that Luke records for us in the the Read more about The Testing of God’s Son (part 1)[…]

As we continue in the Gospel of Luke we come to the detailed lineage of Christ, tracing his family line through David and the Patriarchs right back to Adam. And a few fascinating indications show an important distinction Luke makes from Matthews account.

In this message we finish looking at the essence of John’s message he proclaimed as he prepared the way for Christ. He warned the people of Israel not to look to a family lineage, he warned of coming judgement and through it all he exalted Christ and remained Christ centred in all that he did Read more about The Voice in the Wilderness (part 2)[…]

In this sermon we hear the word of John the baptist as he prepares the way for Christ, the Messiah. While his message of repentance may seem harsh, it is the word that we need in order to receive the life giving forgiveness through Jesus Christ!

An Easter Sunday Message!

In this sermon, preached at Fairview Cornerstone, we look at the hope that Paul describes in Romans 8:18-25 and see how it is a great source of comfort and strength in time of struggle and doubt.

In this sermon we continue with the theme, “Crushing the Serpent” tracing through the Scriptures and seeing how Christ fulfilled the promise that God made to Adam and Eve regarding the offspring that would come from the woman. Through Christ we see the glorious victory over the serpent, through which we have life and victory.

In this sermon, preached at Fairview Cornerstone, we look at God’s curse upon the serpent. We see that there is a physical creature who is cursed, we also see another being at work through the serpent, namely the devil, and we see the glorious gospel proclamation of one who would come through the woman to Read more about #26 “The Serpents Curse”[…]

In this sermon we see God’s shocking and gracious response to Adam and Eve’s sin. While he does display his justice, he also displays tremendous kindness and mercy and ultimately points us to the Saviour who would come.

After looking at the tactic of Satan in tempting Adam and Eve we see this week the three phases of the fall. Through their disobedience to God’s command, Adam and Eve cast the human race into a state of spiritual death and our only hope is the New Adam, Jesus Christ who offers us resurrection Read more about #24 “The Devastating Fall of Humanity”[…]

As we approach the end of Genesis chapter 2 we see God institute the beautiful covenant of marriage between one man and one woman.  While we see such distortions in our day, it is important that we understand these foundational passages where God himself establish the good design of marriage.  In this message we will Read more about #23 “Marriage By God’s Design” (part one)[…]

In this sermon we continue our study in the rich book of Genesis and we take a closer look at how God uniquely designed and fashioned the first Woman and also what God had in mind in the creation of Womanhood.

In this sermon we look at some of the distinctions God established in Genesis between man and woman. While man and woman are both made in the image of God and therefore worthy of respect and equal in dignity and worth and value, as image bearers, we also see that God established unique roles in Read more about Manhood by God’s Design (part 2)[…]

In this sermon from Genesis chapter 2, we look at how man was made by God and how it should remind us of our dependence upon God in all things, and that we are accountable to God as stewards, and ultimately point us to Christ as the perfect man, not from dust but from heaven!

In this sermon we look at the second way in which God distinguished humanity from the rest of the creation, namely, that God gave humanity dominion over the creation. Likewise, we see how Christ comes to succeed where Adam and Eve fail. Sermon Text: Genesis 1:26-31
