Weekly sermons from College Heights Baptist Church in Prince George
Episodes
-
Return: Amos
The sermon will come from Amos, a challenging book that exposes the disconnect between Israel’s worship and the way they lived. Rather than surveying the whole book, we’ll look at three observations that still challenge us today (especially on Thanksgiving weekend): they had plenty, but they...
-
Return: Jonah
This sermon will introduce us to the prophet Jonah, whom God sends to Ninevah, the capital of Israel's most feared and violent enemy. We'll explore how God's mercy reaches farther than we expect, extending even to those we would consider enemies. Other themes that could be explored include...
-
Return: Joel
In this sermon we will meet the prophet Joel as he addresses Israel when a devastating locust plague has ravaged the land and left the nation in crisis. Special focus will be given to Joel 2:12-17 and the call of the Lord to return to Him. We'll consider how God is able to use crisis and…
more -
Return: Obadiah
This sermon in Obadiah will mainly focus on verses 10–21 and center on Edom’s response to Judah’s suffering— they stood at a distance, gloated over their downfall, and even profited from it. The big idea is that God opposes the pride that celebrates another person’s pain and calls His people to...
-
Return: A Study of the Minor Prophets
This sermon will launch our new series called Return: A Study of the Minor Prophets. We'll begin with an introduction to this period of Biblical history and then settle into Zechariah 1:1-6 as a starting point for the journey. Verse three echoes a familiar call from God through His prophets:...
-
Abide
This sermon will focus on Jesus' words in John 15:1-17 (the importance of abiding in Him). Fruit grows naturally from a life connected to Christ.
-
Self-Control
This week, we look at the last of traits in the fruit of the Spirit.
-
Gentleness
We will be continuing our series on the Fruit of the Spirit by focusing on the characteristic of gentleness.
-
Faithfulness
Faithfulness; living in the Spirit over time. Constantly taking the next little step towards God.
-
Goodness
This sermon will explore the fruit of goodness — what it reveals about God's character, how it was displayed in Barnabas' life (described as a good man and filled with the Holy Spirit), and how the Spirit produces it in us. We'll conclude by remembering God's ultimate goodness through the Lord's...
-
Kindness
We have been created to bear fruit as we keep in step with the Holy Spirit. Kindness is not weakness of conviction, but an expression of love ("love is kind" 1 Cor. 13:4) flowing from a heart posture of compassion. David showed extravagant kindness to Mephibosheth (2 Samuel 9:1-13), where none...
-
Patience
In 1 Peter 2:13–25, Peter writes to believers living under imperfect authorities and facing unjust treatment. Rather than calling for retaliation, he points them to Christ, "who suffered for you, leaving you an example." Jesus endured insults without returning them, suffered without making…
more -
Peace
We continue in our series on Keeping in Step with the Spirit by looking at the fruit of peace through the lens of Psalm 46. We'll consider how the Spirit helps us experience peace “even though the earth gives way,” and how that enables us to live in peace with others.
-
Joy
This Sunday we'll continue our Fruit of the Spirit series by looking at joy through the story of Paul and Silas in prison (Acts 16:16–40). We'll discover that Christian joy isn't about having easy circumstances or a naturally upbeat personality; it's the settled confidence that grows from knowing...
-
Who Loves Much
As we continue in our summer sermon series on the Fruit of the Spirit, we'll explore how God wants to grow His love within us. We see this quality revealed in the story found in Luke 7:36-50 where Jesus' feet are washed at a Pharisees house by a sinful woman. He shares the parable of two people…
more -
Keeping in Step
This sermon will launch our new series, "Keeping in Step: A Summer Series on the Fruit of the Spirit." We'll set the stage for the sermons to follow by understanding the freedom that comes from walking in step with the Holy Spirit.
-
Forget Not All His Benefits
Psalm 103 reminds us that one of the great dangers of the Christian life is forgetting God's faithfulness, which is why David tells his own soul, "Forget not all His benefits." Before we come to the Lord's Table and confess our faith together in the Nicene Creed, we'll take a few minutes to...
-
Home at Last
The story of the Bible begins with humanity at home with God in a good and beautiful creation, but through sin we became exiles — restless, fractured, and longing for something this world can never fully provide. Yet through Jesus, God is bringing His people home again: not by abandoning…
more -
The Resurrection of the Dead
This sermon explores the Nicene Creed’s declaration, “We look forward to the resurrection of the dead,” through the lens of 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18 and 1 Corinthians 15:50–58. Rooted in the hope of Christ’s return and the promise of bodily resurrection, it highlights how the Holy Spirit — “the...
-
He Reigns
When fear tells us to run because the foundations are collapsing, faith lifts our eyes to the God who still reigns, still sees, still refines, and still welcomes His people into His presence.
-
Identified with Christ
This week in our We Believe series, we’ll explore what the Bible teaches about baptism — why Jesus calls His followers to it, what it symbolizes, and why it’s such an important step of obedience and public faith.
-
One Church
This message will begin by recognizing how difficult it is for believers to say "I believe in the Church," while also digging into what we mean when we say it. We'll be reminded that Jesus is building His Church (Matthew 16:18) - a Church that is one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. We'll also...
-
Through the Prophets
This sermon will explore the words of the Creed, "He (the Holy Spirit) spoke through the prophets." We'll consider how the Holy Spirit still speaks to us today and uses the Scriptures that He inspired to shape us into the likeness of Jesus.
-
Lord and Giver of Life
This morning, we'll return to our series, “We Believe” and focus on the person of the Holy Spirit. We'll look at how the Scriptures show He is Lord (both a person and God) and the Giver of Life.
-
Missions Spotlight
This morning we have the blessing of hosting a visit from Bruce & Raewyn Wiebe (Wycliffe Bible Translators)
-
Rose, Reigns, and Will Return
This Easter, our portion of the Nicene Creed will point us to three simple but life-changing truths: Jesus rose, Jesus reigns, and Jesus will return. We'll walk through the resurrection story and why there are good reasons to believe it actually happened. From there, we'll lift our eyes to what…
more -
He Was Crucified
In this sermon, we examine the Nicene Creed's confession that Jesus “was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate,” emphasizing that the cross is a real event grounded in human history. We'll explore the meaning of His suffering and death, seeing how the cross reveals both the depth of our sin and…
more -
Lazarus, Come Out!
In this sermon, we will walk through the powerful story of Jesus raising Lazarus. As Jesus arrives in Bethany after Lazarus has died, we see a remarkable picture of who He truly is. On the one hand, we see His deep humanity — He grieves with Mary and Martha and even weeps at the tomb. On the…
more -
The Humanity of Jesus
This sermon shows that Jesus is fully human — born, growing, tempted, weary, and dying —so that He can truly represent us, sympathize with our struggles, and intercede for us as our righteous High Priest. Because He has lived the life we could not, He stands before the Father on our behalf,...
-
Jesus, True God from True God
This Sunday we relaunch We Believe by turning our attention to the Son and asking the question that shook the early church: Who is Jesus? Tracing the road from Pentecost to the First Council of Nicaea, we’ll see why the Nicene Creed speaks so carefully of Christ as “God from God… true God from…
more -
More Than a Meal
This message will interact with various texts about the Lord's Supper, helping us to see the way that it looks backward (in remembrance), inward (through self-examination), around (in fellowship), upward (with thanksgiving), outward (through proclamation), and forward (with expectation). We'll…
more -
Pastoral Candidate Testimony and Interview
Meet our candidate for the vacant Pastor of Ministry Development position: Scott Ross.
-
Do Not Worry
This short sermon will focus on Jesus' teaching about the Father in the Sermon on the Mount, specifically our battle against worry.
-
Our Father in Heaven
This sermon will reflect on God the Father through what Jesus taught us about Him in the Lord's Prayer.
-
Maker of Heaven and Earth
This sermon, primarily interacting with the opening chapters of Genesis, will celebrate God's creation and explore what it means for us today as we groan for all things to one day be made new.
-
Father Almighty
Through Psalm 62, Curtis’ personal testimony, and other Scriptures that speak of our Almighty Father, we'll see that we can trust Him no matter what we're going through. He is our refuge and strong tower. And because He is both strong enough to save and loving enough to hold us, we can pour out…
more -
One God, Three Persons
This sermon will show from Scripture that God is one in essence and three in persons. Through a chronological walk through of the Bible, we'll see the Trinity revealed — not invented — as the heart of Christian faith. We'll also wrestle with the reality that at the centre of the universe is a...
-
We Believe
This opening sermon introduces the Nicene Creed as a faithful guide for understanding what Scripture teaches about God. Rather than replacing the Bible, the creed helps the church confess clearly who He is — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — especially in a time of confusion. My hope is to help the...
-
Remembering Forward
Israel had been enslaved in Egypt for over 400 years. God rescued them through Moses in dramatic fashion — plagues, the Red Sea, freedom they did nothing to earn. But instead of entering the Promised Land immediately, they spent 40 years in the wilderness, a harsh and dry place where they learned...
-
The Joy We're Offered
This second sermon from a short Christmas series called "The Weary World Rejoices" will remind us that joy is not earned or manufactured. We often feel pressured to “be joyful” while facing exhaustion, disappointment, or loss. Joy can feel fragile or inaccessible — but the Christmas story shows...
-
The Weariness We Feel
This first sermon from a short Christmas series called "The Weary World Rejoices" will remind us that God meets us in the darkness, grief, spiritual fatigue, holiday pressure, and weariness of life. He doesn’t wait for us to fix our lives; He brings His light and life right into our broken places.
-
Five Prayers for CHBC
James ends his letter without a tidy conclusion because he expects the church to go and live it out. After twelve weeks in this book, the call is clear: “go write chapter six” by being a people who pray in every season, care for one another in suffering, confess our sins honestly, believe God for...
-
Be Patient
James uses these verses to teach the early Christians how to respond to the oppression they were facing, not by usurping God’s role as avenger, but with a persevering and prophetic patience. Only God can fully and fairly right all wrongs, and He has promised to do so when Jesus returns.
-
Camp Falcon Rock Missions Update
Join us for an update from two missionary couples supported by CHBC.
-
When Plans Forget God
This week, we'll explore a healthy and Biblical approach to our future. James warns against arrogant and boastful planning that leaves God out of the picture. We'll explore the meaning of 'God's will,' how to discover it in our lives, and learn to write our plans in pencil while allowing God to...
-
Growing Deeper Through Humility
Lyndell Campbell Réquia shares about God's work in Brazil.
-
From War to Worship
Flowing out of the previous section, these verses call Christians to reject pride and humbly submit to God in order to be His rather than the world’s friends. Worth noting, a key test for demonstrating this transformation involves how we speak to and about other people.
-
Wisdom From Above
This morning's passage of Scripture will help us to define ‘Wisdom from Above’ by contrasting and comparing it with ‘Wisdom from Below’ (purity and peacefulness rather than jealousy and strife). We'll also explore a test of sorts that can help us know which wisdom we are following.
-
The Power of the Tongue
Words are powerful. They can build up or tear down, heal or wound, bless or curse. James reminds us that our tongues, though small, hold incredible influence — and that controlling our speech is one of the greatest challenges of faith.
-
Faith Without Works
Join us this week as we wrestle with the problem of faith without works. True faith is shown through action, like Abraham offering Isaac and Rahab helping the spies. Without works, faith is dead, empty and lifeless.
