Reading the Bible | Harrison & Lake Errock Campuses | The Ordinary Path to Extraordinary Grace
2 Timothy 3:14-17
Some regard the practice of Bible reading as a dull and dreaded chore. Nevertheless, the Bible is an incredible book that can be more captivating than the best JRR Tolkien or JK Rowling page turner. The Bible is unlike any other book in that it’s inspired by God and reveals in authoritative ways who God is through the person of Jesus. In this way reading the Bible is one of the primary means in which God pours out His grace upon us.

Intro: The Ordinary Path to Extraordinary Grace | Lake Errock Campus | The Ordinary Path to Extraordinary Grace
Acts 2:42-47
From a young age, our culture tries to tell us that newer is better, and that we always need to have the next best thing. The bible teaches us that this is actually not the case. In our new sermon series titled “The Ordinary Path to Extraordinary Grace”, we will unpack the God-ordained means, being prayer, the Bible, church, and the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper, that God uses to strengthen, nourish, and bless His people. As we enter a new ministry year, this series will challenge us to rally around these same means of grace, confident that God can do extraordinary things through our ordinary faithfulness.

Acts 2:42-47
Practicing rudimentary skills can seem ordinary and boring, but in the long term such practice leads to excellence. In the Christian faith, God has provided for Christ followers a number of relatively ordinary “means of grace.” These means can seem dull and ordinary, but through devoted practice Christ followers are able to experience in growing fashion the extraordinary grace of God.

Acts 2:37-47
We have this amazing, reliable, extraordinary grace – salvation & freedom in Christ ... which we often want to experience & grow in via extraordinary means rather than the ordinary. Because ordinary is boring. But the ordinary ways are the primary ways that God has chosen for us to experience His grace, to deepen our spiritual understanding, and point others to Jesus. All the rest (the signs, the wonders, the miracles), while extremely important (and still exist!), are not the foundational aspects of our faith.

Acts 2:41-42
It seems that we are hard-wired to assume that newer is better and that the way to a flourishing life is kept secret. But God, in His kindness, makes His grace and spiritual growth accessible through God-ordained ways He has revealed to us, namely, through His Word, prayer, the Church, and the ordinances. This sermon gives an introductory overview to the ordinary means of grace.

Nehemiah 13
Why would anyone want to go back to their former life of sin, misery, loneliness, sadness and lack of meaning? It’s absurd! And yet it happens to us constantly.

Renewed in Christ | Harrison & Lake Errock Campuses | The Path to Renewal
In Nehemiah 13, we see God’s people drifting into compromise, forgetting His Word, and failing to remain faithful. Yet even in their failures, we’re reminded of our desperate need for a Saviour who can do what we cannot. That Saviour is Jesus Christ, who not only restores what is broken but also gives us lasting hope and victory through His death and resurrection.

Getting Back on Track | Agassiz Campus | The Path to Renewal
Nehemiah 13
Sometimes the “path to renewal” is not as easy. We easily “get off track” and begin to wander. One of the keys to renewal ... revival ... is getting “back on track” and recommitting to follow the Lord once again.
