What happens when a man gets so comfortable in his own opinion that he becomes unteachable? In this message, we unpack the trap of being "wise in your own eyes" and rejecting correction. Proverbs reveals how ego makes us hate discipline, how self-reliance blinds us to sound advice, and how reckless choices damage our families and relationships. True strength isn't about having all the answers—it’s having the humility to drop the ego, accept instruction, and build a life on Christ-centered wisdom.

Most people, and certainly most men, don't wreck their lives in a single, catastrophic moment—they drift there. We live in a world flooded with endless options, quick-fix hacks, and self-help advice, yet so many of us are trapped in an overconfident, indecisive autopilot. In this sermon, we kick off a new series in the book of Proverbs to unpack what true wisdom actually looks like. We pull back the curtain on why real decisions are painfully costly, why even the wisest leaders in history ultimately failed, and how the "fear of the Lord" isn't a restrictive set of rules, but the foundational anchor our lives desperately need.

Forget passive Christianity; Jesus is training us for battle against a real, persistent enemy who wants nothing more than to wreck your life, family, and purpose. Spiritual warfare isn't about Hollywood-style demon hunting—it’s hand-to-hand combat in the daily grind. It’s choosing discipline over indulgence, standing firm against tailored temptations, and keeping your eyes fixed on Jesus.

As part of our series on the Holy Spirit, this sermon explores 1 Corinthians 14, where Paul describes tongues as a special prayer language from the Holy Spirit — one that helps us pray even when we don’t know what to say. In church gatherings, though, tongues need interpretation, so that everyone present, including newcomers, can understand and be welcomed.

Are you tired of running on the treadmill of "good behavior" just to please God? Many of us grew up thinking Christianity was just a long list of rules to keep—or things to stop doing. But what if the "good news" isn't actually about being good?

In this sermon, we open Romans 7 to explore the radical difference between living under the exhausting weight of the law and walking in the life-giving freedom of the Spirit. We’ll look at the burden of performance, the gift of our new "marriage" to Christ, and how to stop trying to please an old master.

If you’ve felt like you’re constantly trying to "win" your faith but are only finding low-grade exhaustion, this sermon is an invitation to rest in the finished work of Jesus. Discover how to stop performing, start living, and embrace a relationship with the Saviour who loves you at your worst.

When conversations around gender often feel like navigating a minefield of power struggles, how do we find a path that leads to flourishing rather than friction? In this sermon, we're continuing our series on church membership by exploring one of our core distinctives: the biblical design of family, and how that pertains to gender and gender roles. Moving beyond "who gets to be in charge," we look at God’s original design in Genesis as a "lighthouse"—not a restriction to bind us, but a means of mercy to keep us from drowning in the chaos of a broken and confused world.

Our culture hasn’t just drifted from God’s design for sex and marriage — it has inverted it, treating personal sexual freedom as sacred and God’s wisdom as the problem. This sermon looks at what’s behind that shift, what the Bible actually teaches about marriage from Genesis to Revelation, and what it means to respond faithfully — whether that calls us to repentance, to costly obedience, or simply to pursue Jesus with fresh wonder.

What is the difference between knowing the language of Christianity and actually being surrendered to Jesus? In this sermon, and as part of our series on church membership, Rich and Natalia Crosby share the story of Grace City Church, including their own story of moving past a "christianized" upbringing to discover the transformative power of grace. From the early days of planting Grace City Church in Ottawa, to the restorative power of the cross in their own marriage, this conversation challenges our modern desire for comfort and invites us into a more authentic, open-door faith.
