Corporate Worship | Agassiz & Lake Errock Campuses | The Ordinary Path to Extraordinary Grace
Colossians 3:15-17
When we consider all the means of grace Jesus has given to His Church, corporate worship may be the most significant. Through it, we participate together in every other means of grace as the gathered body of Christ. As a result, our spiritual health is deeply shaped by how fully or how little we engage in corporate worship.

Preaching the Word | Harrison & Lake Errock Campuses | The Ordinary Path to Extraordinary Grace
2 Timothy 4:1-5
Preaching the Word of the Living God is the pinnacle of the means of grace because it is through God’s Word that Christ is most visibly displayed to the Church. In biblical preaching, a congregation encounters the living Christ and what glorious grace that is! We find in Scripture both the explanation of what true preaching is and the effects that faithful preaching produces as the Holy Spirit mediates God’s grace to us. It is imperative that we take the charge of gospel preaching seriously in our churches because only the Word can give spiritual life to the hearer. God graciously uses the preached Word to call the lost and grow the found. It is grace that saves and grace that sanctifies. This grace comes to us as we hear and receive the Word by faith.

This sermon is an invitation to see preaching not as routine, but as one of the ways God personally meets us with His grace.

Communion | Agassiz Campus | The Ordinary Path to Extraordinary Grace
1 Corinthians 11:17-34
Communion (the Lord’s Supper), instituted by Jesus, is an ordinary means of grace because it is a regular, God-ordained, tangible practice through which Christ spiritually nourishes, strengthens, and assures His people by the power of the Holy Spirit. By participating, our faith is deepened, we are sustained, and our hope in Christ solidifies as we get a foretaste of glory.

The Benefits of Communion | Harrison & Lake Errock Campuses | The Ordinary Path to Extraordinary Grace
1 Corinthians 11:23-26
Communion can easily become a repeated ritual where the Christian shares a small meal of bread and juice, but doesn’t think much more of it. However, Scripture reveals that there is so much more to the Lord’s Supper! Communion is a very real, physical, participatory reminder of the Gospel and the union God desires us to have with Christ and His church.

The Lord’s Supper: True Communion with Christ and One Another | Chilliwack Campus | The Ordinary Path to Extraordinary Grace
1 Corinthians 11:17-34
The Lord’s Supper is one of the most widely practiced but least understood aspects of the Christian faith. Too often, it’s treated as a quick ritual before the bread and cup are passed, rather than the profound means of grace God intends. Throughout church history, believers and skeptics alike have debated its significance, practice, and meaning, and even today, many remain confused.
This morning, we’ll open God’s Word to discover the true beauty of the Lord’s Supper. Why do we do this? Why bread and wine (or juice)? Who should partake and when should we abstain? Most importantly, what gift has God placed in our hands through this sacred meal? Join us as we uncover the depth, joy, and grace found at the Lord’s table.

What makes baptism so powerful is simple. It serves as an expression of your faith, physically demonstrates your union with Jesus, and is sign of your newness of life in Christ.
