Sunday Sermons

Understanding the next generation can be challenging, but one of the greatest callings of the Church is to pass on our faith to those who come after us. In this Next Generation Sunday, we explored the mentoring relationship between Moses and Joshua and discovered how we can help set up those who come after us for lasting success for generations to come.

Could you use a bit more peace in your life?  Are anxiety and fear issues in your world? How about contentment?  Do you know what it feels like to battle the toxicity of comparing yourself to others?  In this teaching, we will learn the biblical secret to experiencing both peace and contentment!  This can change your life!

Why do some Christ-followers wander away from their faith? In this message, we'll dive into that question and offer some practical steps you can apply to stay strong and grounded in your walk with God.

"It's Friday, but Sunday's Coming!" You may have heard this phrase echoed during Easter, but what does it really mean? Why is Sunday so significant? And how does it change everything for you? Join us this Easter as we dive into the hope and transformation that Sunday brings and discover how it can impact your life today.#easter #eastersunday #eastermessage #resurrection #hehasrisen #jesus

Have you ever wished you were more confident?  What kind of foundation is your confidence built on?  In this week's sermon, we look into what healthy confidence can look like for a Christ follower.

How does God interact with a human soul?  What is God doing – moment by moment – in the life of a follower of Jesus?  This week's teaching provides us with the answer.

When we follow the example set by Jesus who, as full deity, descended to earth to serve, we will receive great joy in our lives.

Culture is a powerful thing.  It is the spoken and unspoken expectations of a society.  When you are flowing with a culture, you barely notice it's there.  When you are flowing against a culture, that's when you tend to notice it.  The church today is – more and more – having to flow against the culture around us.  How should we do that?  How can we be good citizens of a country that is increasingly opposed to God's Kingdom, while being good citizens of God's Kingdom at the same time?  We will discover the answer in today's teaching.

 If you don't take control of your perspective, it will take control of you. This week's passage offers a master class in perspective from a first-century pastor.

What do Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and a 1st Century Fashionista have to do with Philippians? Everything. As we begin a brand-new series studying the Apostle Paul's ancient letter to the church in Philippi, we are going to discover a remarkable truth about why the Gospel of Jesus was and is so incredibly countercultural. 

Some things are better in theory than in practice.  Is that the case when it comes to living according to agape love (the purest love imaginable)?  Is it an ideal that is unlivable?  In today's teaching, we are putting agape to the test.  How does it respond to people who hold to opposite political views, to abortionists, and to someone holding to the veracity of the transgender view?  Check out the conclusions!#agape #agapelove #love #faith #bible #church #jesus #god

Have you ever heard of a “couch potato":  someone who lounges around, just absorbing things?  Are Christ-followers just “Agape potatoes":  do we just lounge around, absorbing the love of God, or are we called to do MORE than that?   In this teaching, we are going to learn the difference between being a "puddle" and a "river" when it comes to the Agape love of God.#agape #agapelove #love #faith #bible #church #jesus #god

Every follower of Christ is loved by God with the purest love imaginable and indwelt by God's Spirit.  And we are promised that God's love and indwelling Spirit changes and purifies us.  How, exactly, does this happen?  Practically speaking, where and how does God change us?  What does He do within us that to transform us, day by day?  That is the topic of this week's teaching! #agape #agapelove #love #faith #bible #church #jesus #god

What does "Agape Love – the purest love imaginable" truly look like?  Is it defined and described in the Bible?  How can I know when I'm seeing it, experiencing it, and displaying it?  All of these questions will be answered in this week's teaching. #agape #love #faith #bible #church #jesus #god

The Westminster Catechism describes the purpose of humanity this way:  ‘The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.'  Be honest now...  It's one thing to ‘glorify' God, but do you honestly ‘enjoy' God?  Why do many of us hesitate at that concept, and is there a truth we can discover that will transform our thinking in this area?  This week's teaching gets to the heart of it all.

So far in this series, we have learned the proper posture for our head and hearts when it comes to our “stuff”. How can I ensure that my mind and heart are in the right place? How can I keep my mind and heart on the right path? What can I practically do to re-posture myself for a fulfilled life? Those are the questions we will be answering in this message.

This message is NOT for the faint of heart… How we treat our money and possessions may just be the CLEAREST INDICATOR of the posture of our hearts towards God. This week, we're going to take a look at how we spend our money, and what that may or may not say about our heart posture. We're also going to discover what a heart that God desires actually looks like!

Chiropractors tell us there is a proper physical posture to have, and they tell us that we will have an optimal experience with our bodies when we maintain that proper posture.  We are applying this “posture principle” to our interactions with the money and possessions in our lives.  We will have an optimal experience with these resources when we have the proper mental posture towards them.  What is that proper mental posture?  This week's teaching answers that question.

There is something reassuring about travelling with a road map.  It enables you to navigate the terrain with confidence, ensuring you reach your desired destination.  That is what the “vision” of an organization does:  it provides clarity regarding the way forward.  In this week's teaching, Pastor Darin sets out the “vision” of Broadway Church, explaining our Why?, our What? and our How?  He will also give us a peek into some of the exciting plans for 2025!

Today we are celebrating how God has been at work in the lives of real people in our church. With the fast pace of everything that's going on, we think it's important to spend time hearing real-life stories from real-life people. These remarkable stories are proof that God still does miracles today. Our prayer is that you be inspired encouraged, and grounded in the fact that God is indeed still at work!

We live in a strange time.  We can witness a miracle on Monday and then attend a funeral on Tuesday.  We live at a time when two clashing kingdoms are existing at the same time, and we live in the middle of the clash, feeling the pull from both kingdoms.  In today's teaching, we will discuss this life-stretching tension.

Jesus Christ was God but was also born as a baby, then grows up to be an adult man, and then dies. How does that all work? And according to the Bible, because of his death, somehow humanity can receive forgiveness. How is that possible? Those are the tensions (and questions) we will unpack during this week's message.

What lies at the center of your life?  What power is pulling at you from within, every moment of every day?  In today's investigation of the legendary lives of King Herod and the Magi, we are going to learn how the answer to those questions impacts our experience of life. 

Life tends to come at us quickly.  Things tend to happen that we never anticipated.  We do our best to plan things out, but, for whatever reason, things can come crashing down around us.  If you can relate to this reality at all, you should know that Mary and Joseph, the parents of Jesus, have a lot in common with you!  You should know that the events surrounding the typical “peaceful manger scene”, were anything but peaceful!  Join us to see what lessons we can learn from their legendary journey.

We all have GIANTS in our lives that seem to appear out of nowhere. You wake up with a pay cheque and go to bed unemployed... GIANT. Out of the blue your landlord tells you that you need to start looking for a new place to live... GIANT. You're in relatively good health, then your doctor informs you that you are now in a fight for your life against cancer... GIANT. The GIANTS in our lives always catch us off guard and most of the time we feel very under-prepared. But it doesn't have to be that way. In this week's message, Pastor Simon unpacks the story of David vs. Goliath and explains how we can prepare to face the very real GIANTS in our own lives.

When certain moments happen in your life, do you chalk them up to just being random or an accident? Or is there something more to it? Is there a greater purpose? How do you make sense of certain moments in life? The lessons we will learn from the story of Esther will challenge us to rethink how we view these types of moments.

What do you do with the hurtful moments in your life:  the stabs in your back;  the pokes in your eye?  Do you curse them?  Do you dwell upon them?  Do you revisit and regurgitate them?  Do you wonder why God allowed them?  Today we are going to meet a man named Joseph - a man whose life was a roller coaster ride.  However, not only did Joseph survive, but he thrived along the way.  In today's teaching, we are going to discover the life-changing secret to Joseph's success.

Have you ever found yourself doubting God?  Have you ever found yourself wondering if God really cares or if God really knows what He is doing?  If so, you have a lot in common with a man named Abraham.  A man who, one day, faced a crisis at a level none of us could ever fathom.  And how Abraham responded to that crisis will serve as a life-changing lesson and example for us all.

What do Kurt Cobain, The Fast and the Furious, and Drake, all have in common? They all are leaning into the same underlying assumption about what truly makes you happy in life. In this message, Pastor Simon unpacks the difference between hedonic and eudaimonic happiness, and reveals the SECRET TO HAPPINESS according to a Biblical Worldview and why the grand order of importance is the most important thing about you.  

“Live your truth.”  It's a modern-day proverb that we hear all the time.  Any claim can immediately be categorized as off limits to critique if the one making the claim simply utters these magic words: “It's MY truth.”  Is that how truth works?  Can you have your own truth?  Can I have my own truth?  If my truth contradicts your truth, can both still be true?  This teaching provides you with the answer to that question (and more!).

Why is “believe in yourself” a really stupid proverb? Is self-belief or confidence wrong? No, not at all. However, in this message, we will learn that there is a line that can be crossed when it comes to believing in yourself. A line that has significant consequences.

“Follow your heart...” People say this all the time! And when they give us this advice, they sincerely think they are helping us. They sincerely think they are pointing us in the right direction. However, when you sit down and ponder this statement, you will soon discover that this is a recipe for disaster. During this teaching we are going to ponder this (really) stupid proverb. We will investigate the hidden assumptions behind it, the danger it brings, and how we can avoid the pitfalls it represents.

There is a difference between trimming a weed and uprooting a weed.  When you merely trim a weed, nothing has actually changed.  The weed is still there and in a short time, it will be visible once again.  If you want to get rid of a weed, you need to remove it by the root.  When it comes to recurring hurts and habits in our lives, we can often be guilty of trimming instead of uprooting.  In today's teaching, we will discover two common “roots” of recurring issues in our lives. 

NOT ALL WOUNDS BLEED. So, how do we heal the deep hurts or habits within? Today, we're addressing the second crucial step that must be taken for real healing to occur. We will discover two essential ingredients for healing that can only be found in one very important place… the Cross of Jesus Christ. Pastor Simon walks us through practical steps on why forgiveness is so important and how it can be achieved.

When it comes to the wounds in our hearts and minds, the first key to “getting healed” is getting to the truth - seeing things in your life as they truly are.  It isn't always easy to do this.  It can often be difficult to come face to face with the reality about our lives.  In today's teaching, we will discover four powerful lenses through which we can look.  Four powerful lenses that will lead us to the truth, and position us to experience healing.

When it comes to church, are you merely a face in the crowd, or are you a follower of Jesus?  What is the difference?  How can you know?  This teaching exposes a false gospel that deceives people, and this teaching unpacks the true gospel that transforms lives.  This teaching could save your life.

Global Outreach Sunday is a Sunday where we have the privilege of updating you on What, How and Where in the World God is working in amazing ways through the Global Outreach workers that we support, through our Global Outreach committee, and through your generosity and prayer.

What happens to us, after we die?  Do we cease to exist?  Do we simply become unconscious?  Do we float around as ghosts, wandering the earth?  Do we go to some heavenly location, playing harps on a cloud?  What does the future hold for us after death?  If you have ever wondered about these things, you will not want to miss this sermon.

How can humans have free wills to do as we please, and God have control over the universe at the same time?  Isn't that impossible?  And if God knows what we are going to do tomorrow, doesn't that mean we are destined to do what we do tomorrow?  How is that having a free will?  All of these questions will be answered in this one, fascinating teaching!

How is the concept of repentance relevant to my life in today's world?  Who needs to repent and what does that even mean?  Why would I confess my sins to someone else?   In this week's sermon, we explore these questions and more, as we consider how to live life "in the light".

This question isn't just some theoretical debate. It's a deeply personal issue that hits close to home, affecting people we know and love. While there's no easy answer tied up in a bow, we'll explore what the Scriptures say and look at the very heart of God to find understanding and hope.

It does not matter if you are “single and looking” or “married and taken”, this topic is for you. We are going to discover some life-changing, biblical principles for those who are in any stage of life.

Sex before marriage? Sex after marriage? Sex outside of marriage? Sex inside of marriage? What does the Bible say about sex? Who should have sex, with whom, and when, and why? And an honest conversation about “purity culture” that no one is talking about.

Following Jesus seems to make sense when you're feeling lost or hopeless - when you need Him to fix things. But what about when your life is great? Why should you follow Jesus when you're already feeling pretty comfortable? In this first message of our “You Asked For It” series, we unpack what it truly means to follow Jesus, and why this still matters whether our life is “fine” or not. 

The Bible teaches that there are unicorns.  The Bible endorses slavery.  The God of the Bible commanded genocide.  How can anyone consider the Bible and the Bible's God to be a reliable and authoritative guide?”  If someone confronted you with these claims, how would you respond?  You will be equipped to respond in this, the closing message of our “How (Not) to Read the Bible” series!

The Bible is full of stories and verses that, at times, can be hard to make sense of. And yet, in every part, it all points to Jesus. Don't believe us? Dive into the entire story of the Bible as we unpack just how evident Jesus is from the beginning of scripture all the way to the end.

The Bible is filled with promises from God:  declarations that God has made, vows that God has declared.  And many people, over the years, have shipwrecked their faith by claiming some of these promises for themselves.  Why is that wrong?  How is that a problem?  That is the dynamic that we are focusing upon in this week's teaching.

We've all done it. Flipped open our Bible to a random page, and put our finger on a random verse hoping that God would give us a message of encouragement or direction. This might seem like a very spiritual thing to do, but it can actually lead to a lot of confusion and misinformation. In this week's message we'll learn the proper way to read the Bible.

The Bible is the most remarkable book ever. But it is also the most unique. When you understand what the Bible is all about, you will appreciate what it has to say.

Many have experienced the power that comes from interacting with the Bible.   Many have also experienced the confusion that can come from interacting with the Bible.  Many can personally attest to the fact that reading the Bible canbuild you up, and reading the Bible can mess you up.  In today's teaching, we are going to learn why this is true, and how we can ensure we are interacting with the Bible in a healthy and life-giving way.

This message will give you HOPE. Today we are putting God's faithfulness on display as Pastor Simon shares the miracle story of the CityReach Care Society. We're starting all the way back in 1910 when Broadway Church first got its start in Vancouver and decided that we wanted to be a church that would always be in the HOPE BUSINESS. Today's message will not only give YOU HOPE but also invite you to join us in the HOPE BUSINESS!
