This week we go through Luke chapter 15 verses 1-10 looking at what we expect Jesus to do.

Continuing through our sermon series in Luke our resident Andy takes a look at Luke 14:25-35 and some hard words from Jesus. 

Continuing through the book of Luke, we look at the great generosity of God, seeing it as a lesson and an invitation for us. 

What happens if we invited Jesus in? Would it effect our lives in a practical way? Going through Luke 14:1-11 we see how Jesus turns these ideas on their head. 

What does the Gospel, politics and the lament of God have to do with Luke 13:31-35? We take a look at those things this Sunday as we explore Jesus' really pointed conversation with some Pharisees.

We continue our sermon series in Luke, focusing in on chapter 13:22-30 and looking at what salvation is not. 

Every so often we take a break for our normal rhythms of worship to stop and intentionally look at the grace that's been poured out on us here at Pax. This shortened service explores these ideas. 

Jesus sets up in the book of Luke some can't wait kingdom values in Luke 13. Focusing on compassion, authority and mission.

As Exiles, our lives are effected in practical ways. This week we look through the implications of the exile life on Husbands and Wives.

What does it mean to be an elect exile in our world? How do you see yourself? What kind of person are you? This Sunday we go into 1st Peter 2:4-12 and find out.

What does being an elect exile include? What should we as elect exiles expect? This Sunday we go into 1st Peter 1:13-2:3 and find out. 

Starting our new winter sermons series through the book of 1st Peter we start out by taking a look at what it means to be an elect exile. 

Continuing through our brief interlude between Christmas and our next sermon series we look at two important parts of our faith, Baptism and Communion. Looking at their practice, affect and profoundness. 

Caught in this time between Christmas and New Years we break from our sermon series and look at Psalm 1 and what is a life of true happiness.

How can renewal continue? This week, Pastor Brad walks us through Nehemiah 11-13, looking specifically at how the renewal described earlier in this series will continue.

We are reformed by the covenants we have, this week we look at how this covenants us, and our worship.

A renewed life produces a love for gospel confession. Starting with a word, continuing through prayer and resulting in action. As we continue through Nehemiah we look at how this idea comes out of the text.

Continuing through Nehemiah we look at how God's law reforms our understanding and delight, and how it shapes our appetite and obedience.

This week, Pastor Brad walks us through Nehemiah 7:1-4.  We look at why the renewed life needs community, specifically looking at how the community is for Guarding and Gathering.

As we continue to look at what it means to live in the fear of God, we dial in on what that looks like in a broken world as it's found in Nehemiah 6:1-16.

What is our is our lives? What are we to do with these things, and how does living out the fear of God effect it? (Last weeks sermon was lost due to power outage)

Continuing through our sermon series in Nehemiah we consider what the effects of rebuilding are. How does it effect how we understand salvation? how we understand our sanctification?

What does renewal cost? If we set out for renewal what will it cost us personally? What will it cost us publicly?

Kicking off our fall sermon series of Nehemiah, we look at the everyday realities of what renewal entails.

Apologies for the loss of the first sermon in this series. We had some technical difficulties. Going into the second commandment, we look at the importance and need for us to keep God central to our lives. 

This week, Pastor Pete Lindeman from Grace Village joins us as we work through the Gospel of Luke.  He asks us questions similar to the main question of this series; is Christ who we believe him to be, and is a Christian what we believe it to be?

What does it mean when Jesus sends someone? How does it happen? and what does it look like?

Continuing through our sermon series in Luke, our fifth week focusing on how Jesus and faith works. This week we look at how Jesus acts with respect to our frailties, specifically what we do when life is out of our control.

Continuing through our sermon series in Luke, our fourth week focusing on how Jesus and faith works. This week we look at how Jesus views our hearts and our faith.

Continuing through our sermon series in Luke we, continue into our third week focusing in on how Jesus and faith works. This week we look into different views of faith. 

This week, Pastor Brad walks us through Luke 7:18-35, asking us if we can have faith in Christ without believing in His authority or what He does. What are you hoping will prove Jesus? What do you hope will happen when you come to faith in Jesus?

Can we have faith in Jesus if he has no authority? Where do we get an understanding or testimonies surrounding his authority?

As we return to our study in the Gospel of Luke, Pastor Brad walks us through five key characteristics that Jesus refers to when calling someone a Christian.

As we wrap up out Easter series we look at whether or not we can have eternal hope without the Resurrection? Focusing in on the Resurrections hope for life now, and life eternal.

Does the Resurrection effect how we delight in God? Can we still delight in God if the Resurrection didn't take place? As we go into this Easter we look at what the Resurrection reveals about Christs power and supremacy and how it recognizes God's sovereignty over all of life. 

As we head into Easter this year we ask; what's so good about Good Friday? Why do we need Good Friday? and what does Good Friday mean for our lives?

What happens if the resurrection isn't true?  Are the foundations of our faith secure? Is our faith able to function? and does our faith have a future?

Jeff Eastwood from Grace Baptist Church in Charlottetown PEI kicks off our Easter series this week looking at if we can have the good news of the gospel without the resurrection? 

What does it mean when Jesus calls someone a Christian? What are they at their core? what makes them function and drive them?

With Brad away this week, we have Ryan Skaling of Onehope Canada here taking us into Deuteronomy.  We look at how God puts his word into us, so that we can, as an outflowing, choose life and blessing.

Continuing our series in Luke we look at the story of Jesus healing on the Sabbath. 

What isn't Jesus about? Is Jesus just a big piñata in the sky that gives you what you want? This week we look at what Jesus is not about, including; your health, your piety and your old self. 

Did Jesus say he was God? and what does that idea have in relationship to the realities of brokenness, faith and forgiveness of sin?

This week, Pastor Brad walks us through the basic implications of Christianity, looking specifically at the following points: Have you heard what Jesus taught? Have you experienced what Jesus does? Does your life increasingly demonstrate this?

When we talk about Jesus working, what does that mean? Where does Jesus work? What are the intentions of his work? Does his work have implications for today?

What can we expect from Jesus? Should we expect anything from him? This week as we continue through our sermon series through Luke we look at the message Jesus brings, how he backs up his message, and why that message cannot leave you neutral.

How are you tempted? Where do you find yourself struggling with a continual battle with sin? What does Scripture say about this? and how does Jesus deal with temptation?

As God comes close He will, without question insight change. This week take a look what we can learn from John's work, from Jesus's baptism, his genealogy and the Holy Spirits actions in all of these things. 

Getting back into the Gospel of Luke we ask the question "what are we preparing for?"

Continuing through our brief study of John 15, we look at what is needed to thrive as a Christian, in response to what Christian thriving looks like.

For a brief interlude between Christmas and our sermon series we take a moment to consider John 15 and the idea of the vine and the vine dresser, and it's relation to Christian thriving.
