Speaker: Pastor NickDate: May 11, 2025Synopsis: Onward in our "The Lies We Believe" series. In this series we're trying to call out and directly engage some of those in-the-back-of-your-mind-thoughts that many people struggle with like "I don't matter" or "I'm too broken" or "I have to earn God's love." These are the kind of thoughts that can kick off our anxiety or whittle away at our faith. We believe that God has a different narrative for us that is rooted in His truth. This morning, Pastor Nick breaks down the lie that we have to 'earn God's love' by taking us through several Biblical stories and specifically engaging insecurity, worth and working to prove ourselves.

Speaker: Pastor NickDate: April 20, 2025Synopsis: This morning we finish our Easter series "From Wilderness to Wonder." To celebrate the incredible wonder of Easter we'll look at the origin story (or the calling) of Simon Peter and the recalling of Peter in John 21. Pastor Nick shares from his own experience and a resonating line of "the mission isn't over." But first, let's engage one another in fellowship, prayer, worship in song and scripture. Thanks for joining us this morning - and Happy Easter: HE IS RISEN!Intro Music:     Inspire And Motivate by Mixaund | https://mixaund.bandcamp.com           Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comOutro Music:     Inspiring Beat by Alex Menco | https://alexmenco.net           Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com           Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported         https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en_US

Speaker: Pastor NickDate: April 13, 2025Synopsis: This morning we continue a three week series to take us to Easter called "From Wilderness to Wonder." This morning we're moving to John 16 and 17 as we talk about the looming shadow of the cross. What must it feel like to bear the weight of the cross? What would you and I do with that weight? And as Jesus comes even closer to the base of the cross, rather than focus on Himself He turns his attention to His followers. Let's focus there! But first, let's engage one another in fellowship, prayer, worship in song and scripture. Thanks for joining us this morning!Intro Music:     Inspire And Motivate by Mixaund | https://mixaund.bandcamp.com           Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comOutro Music:     Inspiring Beat by Alex Menco | https://alexmenco.net           Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com           Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported         https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en_US

Speaker: Pastor NickDate: March 30, 2025Synopsis: On 5th Sundays we are incorporating a rhythm of lament into the life of our community. We believe that this is important because there seems to be a misunderstanding that Christian's have to always portray joy and push away feelings of grief or sorrow. We want to make space in our understanding of God that allows for lament. Today, we'll make a case for that and in future 5th Sunday's we'll endeavor to make space to practice lament.Intro Music:     Inspire And Motivate by Mixaund | https://mixaund.bandcamp.com           Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comOutro Music:     Inspiring Beat by Alex Menco | https://alexmenco.net           Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com           Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported         https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en_US

Speaker: Pastor NickDate: April 6, 2025Synopsis: This morning we're doing a three week series to take us to Easter called "From Wilderness to Wonder." This morning we are beginning with a sermon called 'Into the Wilderness' and we'll look at the story from Matthew 4 where Jesus is led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness and is tested by Satan. We'll discuss some early church and modern interpretations of this passage as well as how to apply it to our lives today. But first, let's engage one another in fellowship, prayer, worship in song and scripture.

Speaker: Pastor NickDate: March 23, 2025Synopsis: Today is the final message in our series "Unfiltered Faith" and Pastor Nick is bringing it home with a teaching called 'The World Moved On - Engagement In A Post-Christian Culture.' 40 million people have left the church in the last 25 years in America. When we look to Canada and the U.K. we can, quite literally, see the future of the church. So, how do we engage and does the Bible provide us with any guidance on such a thing?

Speaker: Pastor NickDate: March 16, 2025Synopsis: Good morning and welcome to Conoy BIC Church! Today we're talking about offending and being offending. Is it the message? Is it Christians?

Let's dig in and answer those questions together but first...let us fellowship, worship, pray and come to God together!

Today we continue in our series "Miracle Maker" as Pastor Nick brings us a sermon called 'Demonstrating Faith' where we look at the faith of the centurion in Matthew 8 and we discuss the call on each of us to include the Gentile.

Speaker: Pastor Nick Date: December 22, 2024 Synopsis: Today as we celebrate Advent we look at the theme of LOVE by engaging with a quote from an Austrian poet named Rilke and taking a 10,000 foot view of the whole story arch of scripture and the story of who God is...angry or loving?

Speaker: Pastor Nick Date: December 15, 2024 Synopsis: Today as we celebrate Advent we look at the theme of PEACE and we tell several stories that culminate in the idea that Jesus rewrites our narrative around how enter into conflict and how we create peace in the world. Humanity's limited imagination seems to answer conflict with more conflict in order to obtain peace but Jesus demands that we understand that His spirit is here to bring and offer life ... even to those who have been excluded.

Speaker: Pastor Nick Date: December 1, 2024 Synopsis: This morning we begin our Advent 2024 series "The Promises of Christmas" by looking at the theme of Hope.

Speaker: Pastor Nick Date: November 10, 2024 Synopsis: This is our final week on The Sermon on the Mount! Pastor Nick recaps where we have been and then takes us into the final section where Jesus contrasts several things: gates, roads, trees, prophets, disciples and houses.

Speaker: Pastor Nick Date: November 3, 2024 Synopsis: Today we have a word on judgement from the Sermon on the Mount - "do not judge or you will be judged." These are some of the most famous words in the scripture. Can we take them on their face? Or is there something more...something deeper to explore? What are Jesus' instructions for us as we engage in community and as we try to help our brothers and sisters grow in their faith and maturity? How much should we be looking at them and how much should we be looking at ourselves? We're hitting all of this and more so join us RIGHT NOW!

Speaker: Pastor Nick Date: October 27, 2024 Synopsis: What do you value? How much do you value it? Does it compete with your devotion to God? These are the questions that Jesus is asking as he engages us with this next section of the Sermon on the Mount today!

Speaker: Pastor Nick Date: October 6, 2024 Synopsis: This morning we're studying The Sermon on the Mount. Last week we discovered two things in Jesus' opening words to this sermon - the powerful aren't who we think it is and being people of the Kingdom of God requires action from us! This morning we learn more about what it means to follow God's covenant and we hear Jesus speak about The Law, murder and adultery. Jesus has been flipping the script and redefining what we thought we knew - will he continue? Join us to learn more!

Speaker: Pastor Nick Date: September 29, 2024 Synopsis: We jump into a new series today on the Sermon on the Mount. The Sermon on the Mount is found in Matthew 5-7 and represents Jesus' most significant collection of teaching.

We'll explore what the word “blessed” means and how that should impact our modern life as followers of Jesus. Join us today to learn more about this important teaching of Jesus.

Speaker: Pastor Nick Date: September 15, 2024 Synopsis: Today is our final day in the book of Daniel...that's right - its our wrap up! Daniel 11 & 12 - today is the explanation of the vision that caused Daniel so much strife in chapter 10. And to really understand what we're reading we're looking back in history and also into the future. Daniel 11 & 12 presents us with such an interesting and compelling look into the future that should encourage us to consider how to apply it to our lives especially since the Angel tells Daniel that it is meant for a time in the future.

Speaker: Pastor Nick Date: August 25, 2024 Synopsis: Today we continue in our "Adventures in Babylon" series on the book of Daniel.

Speaker: Pastor Nick Date: August 18, 2024 Synopsis: We continue in our "Adventures in Babylon" series on the book of Daniel and today we dive into chapter 6: the infamous story of Daniel and the Lions Den! It's really easy to think that we've heard this all before but let's jump into this with humility and remember that God can give us fresh eyes and a fresh heart as we encounter brand new things in the text. For instance, it might shift your perspective to consider that Daniel was 70-80 years old in this story! Join us to learn more.
