On a weekly basis our ministers deliver sermons based in God’s Word that seek to encourage, challenge, and edify the church. Check out the Waterview livestream to watch our services as they happen.
Bible school teachers are some of the greatest volunteers in the church. Some teach for years every week the church meets for Bible school. This lesson is a reminder of the importance of teaching the Bible and is meant to encourage Bible teachers.
An evangelist is someone who tells the good news of Jesus. Literally, Jesus became the embodiment of the good news. In the famous encounter with the sinful, Samaritan woman in John 4, Jesus demonstrates what an evangelist should do. In this study, we learn from him.
David Friesen, our sponsored missionary in Camrose, Alberta delivers our Sunday sermon about his mission efforts and how we can be influential for Christ in our daily lives.
The purpose of the Gospel according to John is stated in John 20:30-31 (to believe in Jesus and have life through his name). Such being the case, it shouldn't surprise us that John begins his account with three powerful proofs to confirm Jesus was the Son of God (Jn. 1:1-5).
There is a difference in knowing things about God's Word and knowing God's word. Which describes you? Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible but it may be the shortest path to understanding the personal impact God's Word has on us.
Hope is a word we use every day. But hope takes on new meaning when we examine it in Scripture. Jeremiah 29:11 contains a message of hope from God, but it must be understood in the proper context. But what does that hope mean today for us? Today, the most powerful symbol of hope is the "empty tomb." In this lesson we explore the results of the empty tomb and how it gives hope for those who believe today.
In Luke 12 Jesus offers a series of warnings, but in two segments of this chapter there is a great contrast. The story of the Rich Man who trusted in himself and his money (16-21) is contrasted with Jesus' lesson about not being anxious and seeking him first (22-34). Anytime our trust is not in God, we are in danger in trusting in the wrong things.
The Old Testament is filled with stories we need to know. Nehemiah was one of God's great leaders who inspired others to join in the rebuilding of the walls and gates of Jerusalem around the year 444 B.C. This lesson considers how Nehemiah demonstrates what it took to mentor and mobilize this amazing effort.
Luke 7:1-10 is an unusual account of a different kind of man. Most people don't see themselves the way others see them. Most of us think we are more deserving and worthy than we really are. But the centurion in this story saw himself as unworthy when everyone who knew him thought he was worthy. This lesson explains why that was true.
An invitation is generally received with the request to RSVP. Those letters come from a French expression which simply means "please respond." We usually end our lessons with an RSVP. In this lesson we look at the biblical background of the invitation Jesus offers to us in Matthew 11:25-30. We also discuss methods of responding to Jesus that are unique to Waterview.
