For Good | Healthy Church
St. Paul's Leaskdale Weekly Sermons
Acts 2:40-47 - As a church, we’re taking some time to talk about our vision and strategy. We’re hoping to add clarity to why and how we do what we do in this season. We’ve found ourselves pondering the story of the earliest church in the book of Acts. In one day, uncertainty turned to full-out joy, and church membership blew up 2500%! Jesus was alive, they experienced God’s promised Spirit alive in them, so they locked into being together, learning, sharing and praying. It's hard to improve on that!

Psalms of Ascent | Let Him Have It! (Andrew Allison)
St. Paul's Leaskdale Weekly Sermons
Psalm 129 is a bit of a nasty Psalm! The writer has been oppressed and doesn’t hold back in expressing what that feels like. You might think being a believer means your troubles disappear, but that has never been the case. The good news is that God is neither blind nor indifferent to our struggles. In time (often not as fast as we want), God always intervenes. There’s even hope for the oppressor in this Psalm! Good news travels.

Psalms of Ascent | Unity That Feels Good To God (Andrew Allison)
St. Paul's Leaskdale Weekly Sermons
Psalm 133 - The Psalms of Ascent were songs for the journey—worshippers sang them as they traveled together toward Jerusalem and the Temple.

James | Prayer That God Hears (Lynnita Weber)
St. Paul's Leaskdale Weekly Sermons
A life of faith is a life of prayer. It’s also a life lived with others. When we follow Jesus, we belong to Him and to one another as brothers and sisters. As a family, we care for one another in weakness, confess our sins to each other, and gently confront one another.

James | What Does Grace Do In A Believer? (Andrew Allison)
St. Paul's Leaskdale Weekly Sermons
James 4:6-10 - James knows that the heart of the Christian message is grace. God gives us good that we couldn’t ever deserve. The truth is that we earn and deserve justice and punishment. Thankfully, Jesus took both of those for us and gave us the good he deserved. As powerful as grace is, there is one thing that can resist it. Listen in to find the one thing that repels grace.
info_outlineEzra 3:10-13 - The book of Ezra tells the story of the return of God’s people from exile. The account details the extra care that was taken by the returnees in doing their best to reproduce what they once had. Very quickly they got the old altar operational and began to rebuild the temple. Our story is about what they chose to do on the day the foundation of the new temple was in place. There was a party that didn’t feel like a party for everyone and that’s just honest!
