Scripture: Luke 11:14-28 | Speaker: Josh Tong | Date: November 26, 2017

 
A lot of people assume that they can relate to Jesus in such a way that they’re not for him without being against him. According to Jesus, that’s just not true. In this sermon, Pastor Josh explains why this is not only an untenable option, but a dangerous one as well.

When it comes to prayer, we can get so caught up in asking ourselves whether we’ve been praying, that we forget to ask ourselves what we should be praying for. Join Pastor Josh as he explains how the Lord’s Prayer in Luke 11 sets the priorities for our prayers.

Scripture: Luke 10:25-42 | Speaker: Josh Tong | Date: November 12, 2017

What’s the famous parable of the Good Samaritan all about? Many rightly interpret this parable as exhorting us to show greater compassion to others regardless of their race, wealth, or religion, but they miss the central point of how we become such people. Join Pastor Josh as he answers this crucial question from Luke 10:25-42.

Scripture: Luke 9:51-62 | Speaker: Josh Tong | Date: October 22, 2017

When we present the gospel and are rejected, we are tempted to give up or water down the message. We emphasize the benefits of Christianity rather than the responsibilities, the gains rather than the losses. Why do we do that? We do that because we lose confidence in the power of the message we proclaim and in the infinite worth of Jesus Christ. In this sermon, Pastor Josh shows us how Jesus responded to rejection. Unlike us, he never stopped calling others to follow him, and unlike us, he never failed to warn those who would follow him of the radically high cost of doing so.

Scripture: Luke 9:37-50 | Speaker: Josh Tong | Date: October 15, 2017

It can be easy to read through the Gospels and laugh at some of the silly things Jesus’ first disciples said and did. They doubted the power of God even though they were eyewitnesses to Jesus’ miracles. They argued back and forth about which of them was the greatest when they stood in the presence of the Greatest One. We think, “How weak they were, and how vain!”, — and they were — but we forget that we are just as weak, and just as vain. In this sermon, Pastor Josh reminds us that Jesus’ correction of his first followers remains just as relevant now as it was then, and he shows us how our Saviour’s correction applies to believers living in the 21st century.
