Episodes

Mark, The Gospel - Ep 05 - Mark 1:21-34
We live in a time where we are greatly fascinated with power and authority, especially political power and authority. But in contrast, and unlike our leaders today who often bring empty promises and overused platitudes, Jesus ushers in His kingdom with displays of power and authority in His...
-
Mark, The Gospel - Ep 04 - Mark 1:14-20
After John the Baptist's arrest, Jesus' earthly ministry begins. And it begins in Galilee with a threefold call to repent, believe and follow Him. https://midtownchurch.com
-
Mark, The Gospel - Ep 03 - Mark 1:9-13
In the 1990s a movement took the world by storm coming by way of the acronym WWJD. It’s a good question, what would Jesus do? In this passage, however, we look at two questions more important: who is Jesus and what did he do? https://midtownchurch.com
-
Mark, The Gospel - Ep 02 - Mark 1:1-8
We begin a series on the Gospel of Mark today with one of the most unusual men in the Bible - John the Baptist. He ushers in the arrival of Jesus and in our text we will stand in awe of God's sovereignty, John's humility, and Jesus' supremacy. https://midtownchurch.com
-
Mark, The Gospel - Ep 01 - Introduction
Mark wastes no time getting to the heart of his Gospel: Who is Jesus? From its opening lines, Mark presents Jesus not merely as a teacher or miracle worker, but as the promised King in whom God himself has drawn near. And as we encounter his astonishing authority, gracious mercy, and call to...
-
Come Taste See - Stand Alone Message
The Christian faith is not merely a belief in doctrines but a personal relationship with the God that doctrine describes. In this kick off message to a new ministry year, we will look at the invitation of David to taste, see and rest in the goodness of God. https://midtownchurch.com/

Romans 8 - If God is for Us - Ep 10 - Rom 8:33-39
We finish our Summer series in Romans 8 this week. And Paul concludes with a granite-hard conviction that absolutely nothing in all creation—neither death, life, nor any spiritual power—can ever separate believers from the love of God in Christ Jesus. Life may abandon us but God never will....
-
Romans 8 - If God is for Us - Ep 09 - Rom 8:31-32
This text is Paul's crescendo moment in Romans 8. It's the summit peak of the Mt. Everest that is this chapter. In it he asks: if God is for us, then no outside force can successfully stand against us - not ultimately. And because God did not spare His own Son, be assured that He will graciously...
-
Romans 8 - If God is for Us - Ep 08 - Rom 8:28-30
Often times our lives can look like the backside of a tapestry—frayed, knotted, chaotic, dark. This passage turns the tapestry over and reveals how God brings all things together - good and bad - for the ultimate good of believers to shape them into the likeness of Jesus. https://midtownchurch.com
-
Romans 8 - If God is for Us - Ep 07 - Rom 8:24-27
When we are going through difficulties is our hope anchored in something so compelling that will get us through? What is worth hoping for, and how does the Holy Spirit help us persevere in our weakness? Romans 8:24-27 continues on in the theme of a deep longing for a Christians' ultimate...
-
Romans 8 - If God is for Us - Ep 06 - Rom 8:18-23
Suffering is a topic frequently addressed in the Scriptures but too often ignored. In this message we address the perspective, the pain and the promise that comes with our suffering. And suffering for the sake of Christ most of all. https://midtownchurch.com
-
Romans 8 - If God is for Us - Ep 05 - Rom 8:12-17
We like new things, who doesn't? And the Bible likes new things too. In this passage what we like and what the Bible likes converge as we see three new things the Spirit brings: a new debt, a new person and a new future. https://midtownchurch.com
-
Romans 8 - If God is for Us - Ep 04 - Rom 8:9-11
Romans 8:9-11 teaches that believers are led and empowered by the indwelling Holy Spirit - He has moved in! And He marks them and secures them as truly belonging to Christ. Though physical bodies remain subject to death due to sin, the Spirit gives spiritual life now and guarantees future bodily...
-
Romans 8 - If God is for Us - Ep 03 - Rom 8:5-9
In spite of all the people in the world the Bible says they fall into one of two groups: people of the Spirit and people of the flesh. In this message we look at both and highlight the contrast between each group. https://midtownchurch.com
-
Romans 8 - If God is for Us - Ep 02 - Rom 8:1-4 - Part 2
In this second of two messages from Romans 8:1-4 we answer two questions: 1, what is the difference between the flesh and the body? And 2, what should the Christian's relationship be with the law today? But before going there we look at what God, in Christ, did for us that we couldn't do for...
-
Romans 8 - If God is for Us - Ep 01 - Rom 8:1-4 - Part 1
Romans 8 is considered by many to be the greatest chapter in the Bible. Which doesn't mean it's more divine than others, but that it stands as a chapter by which all others are measured. In a kick off message to our summer series we look at three realities that are true of all Christians in…

-
Rejoice like Our Heavenly Father - Stand Alone Message
As we celebrate Father’s day, we will look at the character of God the Father, as Jesus reveals it in his Parable of the Prodigal Son. Our God is one who rejoices when lost sinners return home because he is a God of compassion. https://midtownchurch.com/
-
What do We have? - Stand Alone Message
One of the taglines for a series of banking ads a few years back was: Scotia Bank: You’re Richer than you Think. Whether that was objectively true for most people who banked there is a debatable matter, but there is truth in the idea that sometimes we are richer than we think. Sometimes we just...
-
Revelation - The Unveiling - Ep 30 - Re 22
We wrap up this series on today and interestingly, it finishes much like it starts. What John sees and writes in chapter 22 mirrors what he wrote in chapter 1. But more interestingly, how Revelation ends, with a picture of a garden, reminds us of how the Bible begins and how God brings things…

Revelation - The Unveiling - Ep 29 - Re 21:9-27
In this passage things just keep getting better. It's a passage that builds on last week and is full of symbols and metaphors describing the grandeur and perfection and purity of the kingdom to come. A divine banquet awaits for those who are in Christ. https://midtownchurch.com
-
Revelation - The Unveiling - Ep 28 - Re 21:1-8
We move from last week's highly debated text to this week's, which may be Revelation's most beautiful. In this well-known passage we are comforted with the great promise of God one day making all things new one day, a work that Jesus began with His first coming and completes with His second....
-
Revelation - The Unveiling - Ep 27 - Re 20
This chapter sparks more debate than most, if not all, in the Bible. It introduces a millennium period about which people have differing views. We'll discuss some of those. But most importantly, it brings encouragement and comfort to those following the Lamb and the certainty of their future and...
-
Revelation - The Unveiling - Ep 26 - Re 19
One of the big picture themes of Revelation is the trials the church undergoes. Imprisonment, martyrdom and war but a time is coming when that war will end. That’s the promise revealed in this chapter which ends with a wedding and a feast with the Lamb. https://midtownchurch.com
-
Revelation - The Unveiling - Ep 25 - Re 18
In last week’s message from Revelation 17 we looked at the deception of Babylon. In this week’s we look at her destruction. A destruction coming because of her self glorification, her deception and her oppression. We end by considering how we respond as people who live in ‘Babylon’ today....
-
Revelation - The Unveiling - Ep 24 - Re 17
Although Revelation 17 can be difficult to interpret, we must. For it’s a text written to encourage and strengthen those who follow Jesus while living at a time that opposes them and the Jesus they follow. https://midtownchurch.com
-
The God of all Comfort - Stand Alone Message
The God of all comfort; how God comforts us in all our affliction. 2 Corinthias 1:3-11 https://midtownchurch.com/
-
Revelation - The Unveiling - Ep 23 - Re 16
Revelation 15 reminded us of how certain our future is as God’s people. Together we sing the song of Moses and the Lamb, celebrating our deliverance by the blood of Jesus and the guarantee of a future with Him. Revelation 16 goes on to tell us that God’s wrath against evil is equally certain and...
-
The Cross: From Doubt to Belief, Faith Begins - Easter 2026 - Ep 02 - Jo 20:24-29
When the news of the resurrection first spread among the disciples, Thomas could not believe it. After everything he had seen—the crucifixion, the suffering, the finality of death—hope felt impossible. He demanded proof, insisting he would not believe unless he could see and touch the wounds...
-
The Cross: Justice Fulfilled - Easter 2026 - Ep 01 - Jo 19:16b-20
At the cross, the darkest injustice in human history unfolds. Jesus is condemned through false accusations, manipulated testimony, and a broken legal process—an innocent man executed between criminals. Yet beneath the chaos of human injustice, something deeper is taking place. The cross becomes…

Revelation - The Unveiling - Ep 22 - Re 15
The judgment and wrath of God as described in the book of Revelation are off-putting to many people. “Why would a loving God do that to people?” is a question many grapple with when confronted with the biblical realities of God’s judgment and hell. The assumption being that a benevolent, loving…

Revelation - The Unveiling - Ep 21 - Re 14
The world today is filled with violence, murder, rebellion, self-indulgence and godlessness. It might appear as though the kingdom of Christ is a lost cause. When we read about the kingdom of the antichrist in Revelation 13, the strategy of the dragon and his accomplices, the two beasts and how...
-
Revelation - The Unveiling - Ep 20 - Re 13
Revelation 12 told us that Satan is fighting against the people of God. But how does he wage this war? What are his weapons? What are his strategies? In Revelation 13 Jesus gives us some profound insight into what we’re up against, and reminds us once again to have courage in the face of our...
-
Revelation - The Unveiling - Ep 19 - Re 12
What comes to mind when you hear the term, “Spiritual Warfare?” Most christians associate “Spiritual Warfare” with exorcisms or demonic activity such as manifestations, encounters or demonic oppression. But what exactly is “Spiritual Warfare?” And how should Christians and the church go about...
-
Revelation - The Unveiling - Ep 18 - Re 11
What does it mean that God “measures” His temple in Revelation 11? Is the church truly protected—even when it appears defeated before the world? Who are the two witnesses, and why does their suffering lead to ultimate vindication? Revelation 11 reveals a powerful truth: God’s presence secures His...
-
Revelation - The Unveiling - Ep 17 - Re 10
When we look at the way that the Church of God suffers for him across the world, and cry out for him to deliver them from evil, what answer should we expect? What has God given us to know, and what has he kept secret about his answer? How should we act in the midst of our waiting? Revelation 10...
-
Revelation - The Unveiling - Ep 16 - Re 8:6 - 9:21
How does God respond to the violence, injustice, self-centredness, unchecked arrogance and rebellion of fallen humanity? Does he have sovereign control over armed conflicts, economic hardships, natural disasters, famines and diseases that ravage many nations around the world? Where can one find...
-
Revelation - The Unveiling - Ep 15 - Re 8:1-5
As followers of Christ, we are called to endure numerous trials and hardships. During these struggles, we may sometimes wonder if God’s ear is tuned to the prayers of His children. Do our prayers reach His glorious throne? Is He pleased to listen to our requests? Will He answer all our prayers?...
-
Revelation - The Unveiling - Ep 14 - Re 7
In a world of increasing trial and uncertainty, Revelation 7 answers the all-important question, “Who can stand?” Together we’ll see how God’s people are sealed by His Spirit to endure the storms of life and are being shepherded toward a glorious and eternal celebration where every tear will be...
-
Revelation - The Unveiling - Ep 13 - Re 6
War, suffering, sickness, and death are so normal in our world, and yet, in Revelation 4 and 5 John had just been caught up to behold the reality of God immovably seated on His throne. So if God really does reign over all the events of history, why do things seem to get so bad? As the seals of…

Revelation - The Unveiling - Ep 12 - Re 5
God sits on His throne, not reacting to the events of this world, but sovereignly orchestrating a perfectly organized plan. A plan that requires a uniquely worthy individual—Jesus Christ, the Lion of Judah, the Lamb of God. In Revelation 5, we see heaven and earth longing for God’s plans to be...
-
Revelation - The Unveiling - Ep 11 - Re 4
When challenging or chaotic times, people always ask the question, “Where is leadership?” The question indicates our need for competent, capable leadership with the capacity to address the challenges effectively. We live in a broken chaotic world. Amidst the turmoil around us, we often wonder,...
-
The Way to Spiritual Renewal - Stand Alone Message
Together we explore how renewal begins personally in the heart, expands through renewed leadership, and ultimately leads to corporate renewal within God’s people, like ripples spreading across water. We will be using the story of Israel—especially the reforms under King Josiah in 2 Kings 21-23.…

Jesus Christ is Supreme - Stand Alone Message
In this text we will explore who Jesus Christ is, that he is preeminent over creation, preeminent over his new creation, and that he is the one who reconciled us to God by the blood of his cross. https://midtownchurch.com/

Sounds of Christmas - What Child is This - Ep 04 - Matthew 2:1-6
What child is this? How do people respond to the newborn king? When a new monarch ascends to power, some will celebrate, others will remain indifferent, and some will oppose him. The same reactions are seen when reading Matthew's account of the Magi visiting the newborn King in Matthew Chapter 2....
-
Sounds of Christmas - Away in a Manger - Ep 03 - Luke 1:26-35 and Luke 2:1-14
When the Christmas story is paired with the first carol many children learn, “Away in a Manger,” it can sometimes be reduced to little more than a charming bedtime story. Yet while this beautiful carol captures the warmth and emotion of Christmas, the Christmas story itself is far more than...

Sounds of Christmas - Joy to the World - Ep 01 - Psalm 98
In this four-part Advent series we are looking at four Christmas Carols and the history behind them. But most of all, we will consider the Scripture that motivated being written in the first place. Today we begin with Joy to the World, a song written by Isaac Watts and prompted by his reading of...
-
Revelation - The Unveiling - Ep 10 - Re 3:14-22
This passage ends Jesus' letters to each of the seven churches of Revelation. In this letter Jesus writes to the church in Laodicea and calls them lukewarm and says that He wants to spit them out of His mouth! In this message we consider who Jesus is addressing exactly, the relevance to the…
more -
Revelation - The Unveiling - Ep 09 - Re 3:7-13
All of Jesus' letters to the churches in Revelation are encouraging but Jesus' letter to Philadelphia, like His letter to Smyrna, is encouraging in a different way. In this message we look at four ways Jesus encourages the church so they continue to hold fast to what they have so no one seizes...
