Evergreen Chapel Sermons

Luke 1:39-56 Part 1 - The Virgin’s Song of Joy - December 18, 2022

In this passage, we see the joy that is brought to those who God shows his grace and favour. But we don't always feel joyful as Christians. So how do we grow in joy? How do we rejoice like Mary? We look to Christ! 

Luke 1:26-38 - The Unlikely Entrance of the Messiah - December 11, 2022

The announcement of the birth of Christ is surrounded by some unlikely circumstances. God uses people, places, and methods that we wouldn't expect for the long-awaited king. And yet, that is how our God works. Will you let him use an unlikely person like yourself? 

Luke 1:5-25 - The Silence Awakened - December 4, 2022.

God has not sent a prophet to Israel in 400 years. But now, he has finally broken his silence, and the time has come for God to set into motion the beginning of the end of his grand plan of redemption. And it all starts with John the Baptist! 

Luke 1:1-4 - The Truthfulness of the Gospel - November 27, 2022

Can we trust what the Bible has to say about Jesus? What is to say that Christian's understanding of him is correct, and others are not? We are going to see that the Gospel of Luke is a historical, trustworthy account of the life of Jesus, and therefore we must give it all our attention as God's Word for our lives. 

Jonah 4:1-11 - A Grump, A Gourd, and A Gracious God - November 20, 2022

Why does Jonah not end at chapter 3? Jonah obeys, Nineveh repents, and God relents. Sounds like a perfect storybook ending! Well not exactly. Jonah still has sin in his heart that God needs to deal with. And we, the readers, are confronted with those same sins in our lives. Will we be like Jonah? Or will we be like Jesus? 

Jonah 3:1-10 - The God of Second Chances - November 6, 2022

Chapter 3 begins with Jonah right back where he started. God has given him a second chance at obedience, and in doing so, He is giving Nineveh a second chance at repentance. Will Nineveh repent? What is repentance? How does God maintain his justice and his mercy to those who repent? 

Jonah 1:17-2:10 - Jonah Still Doesn’t Get Grace - October 30, 2022

Pick up a children’s storybook about Jonah and the majority of them talk about how Jonah repents and asks for forgiveness in the belly of the whale. But does Jonah actually repent of running from God, or is he just thankful he didn’t die? Does Jonah just pay lip-service to the grace of God, or does he actually understand and experience it? Are you like Jonah in any of these ways? 

Jonah 1:3-16 - Repent or Die - October 23, 2022

Jonah, for some reason, thinks he can flee from God. He realizes pretty soon the absurdity of his actions and recognizes that only two options are available for him; Repentance or Death. Will his idolatry lead him to death? Will yours? 

Jonah 1:1-3a - The Reluctant Prophet - October 16, 2022

Everyone and their mother has heard of Jonah and the whale. But the book of Jonah is about far more than just a man and a fish. It is about God's mission, our ineptness, and His grace and mercy. In this sermon, we look at some of the themes running throughout the book. 

Philippians 4:10-13 - Thank you God for the Fleas - October 9, 2022

Paul says that in whatever circumstance he is in, he has learned the secret of being content. We all desire contentment, and we all long for the secret so that no matter what circumstance we find ourselves in, we can give thanks to God.
