Jesus The Christ – Peter’s Confession
PODCAST
As we approach Easter, we are going to consider Jesus the Christ. We often speak of Jesus Christ as if Christ were his last name, but Christ is a title, it is a role, not a name! This week we are considering Peter’s famous answer to Jesus’ questions, “Who do you say that I am?” Peter said, “You are the Christ!” But Peter quickly showed that he didn’t know what it meant that Jesus is the Christ or what it means to follow him.
Scripture: 2 Matthew 16:13-24

The Pastor As Shepherd – Protect and Correct
PODCAST
What do pastors do? Last week, looking at Psalm 23, we see that pastors, as shepherds, have a responsibility to lead and to feed the flock, to protect and correct the flock. What does it look like for a pastor to protect and correct the flock? The fact that we, as Canadians, tend to avoid conflict and confrontation actually makes it much more difficult for pastors to fulfill these roles. But it’s so important that they do! Churches need to be reminded that their pastor has this duty and it’s for the good of the congregation.

The Pastor As Shepherd – Lead and Feed
PODCAST
What do pastors do? We see them on Sundays and when they come visit us, but what do they do all week? The word pastor comes from the Latin word for shepherd. We are going to look at Psalm 23 to see what shepherds and pastors should do.
Scripture: Psalm 23:1-4

Evangelism: Faith In Christ
PODCAST
We’ve come to our final installment on evangelism! The goal of evangelism is for people to take steps toward faith in Christ. But what is “faith in Christ”? It’s a term we often take for granted as Christians. But it’s our goal both for evangelism and for discipleship! So let’s take a closer look at what we are hoping other people will come to and what we will grow deeper in.
