Confusing moments in the life of Jesus

If I do something really bad, will God always forgive me? Can I ever be “too far gone”? How far can I push the limits of God’s grace and forgiveness? Have you ever wondered if there is an unforgivable sin? Actually, according to Jesus, there is! Well, what is it? How can I know I am not committing this “sin” by accident? How do I know I have not already committed it? And how is it possible for an all-loving God to NOT forgive my sin? That’s exactly what we will be unpacking in today’s message.

Every faith-based nonprofit has a dilemma: How much of our time and energy should be spent on meeting PHYSICAL NEEDS vs. how much of our time and energy should be spent on meeting SPIRITUAL NEEDS? It’s not a problem we need to solve, but it’s a tension we need to manage. In today’s message, Pastor Simon walks us through the impact that CityReach (Broadway’s nonprofit) is having in our community and how we manage this dilemma. You may laugh, you may cry, but you are guaranteed to be inspired!

Life Hacks

Over the years we’ve been asked a lot of questions like: “Is it ok to get a TATTOO?” or, “What about a PIERCING?” or, “What makes an outfit appropriate or inappropriate?” We’ve been asked to serve as some kind of Theological Fashionista! But what they are really wanting to know is DOES GOD CARE HOW WE LOOK? Today we are going to learn from the wise advice of the Apostle Paul as he deals with a tricky 1st Century fashion dilemma full of deeply rooted cultural dynamics, and apply a profound LIFE HACK directly to our 21st Century lives when it comes to our appearance.

Life Hacks

Is experiencing a miracle a sign of spiritual maturity? Are outward signs of blessing a direct result of inward signs of health? Today we are going to discover that things are not always as they appear as dive into the world of what it means to be spiritually healthy vs being spiritually sick. There are lots we can learn from the early Christ followers in the ancient city of Corinth and their ancestors, the Nation of Israel. Using them as an example to us, today we are going to take our own spiritual pulse and assess how we’re doing on the inside!

Week 11
Sunday, May 7, 2023

Life Hacks

In this message we are going to unpack a very interesting situation that was happening in a church congregation 2000 years ago. While on this journey we will be asking and answering a lot of questions surrounding the Bible and sex. Questions like: Why should I care about what the Bible teaches regarding sex? What moral boundaries are given? Why does it seem like there are so many rules about sex? And, why does God care so much about my sexuality? Check out the message to hear all the answers.

Stranger Stories Sermon Series

Today’s Strange Story is not for the faint at heart. It is about a left-handed assassin who you’ve probably never heard of. It is gruesome and graphic, and it has stumped many readers. Why was this Strange Story even included in the Bible in the first place? And what lessons can we glean from its bizarre characters, Ehud and Eglon? This message will encourage you and remind you that God uses the unlikely to do the unexpected.

Really Bad Examples sermon series

Saul was handsome and tall and became Israel’s first King. At first, the people were thrilled - he was a fine physical specimen. The people soon learned, however, that Saul may have been physically strong, but he was emotionally and spiritually weak. There is much we can learn from King Saul’s really bad example when it comes to pride, arrogance, insecurity, and deceit. Join us as we dive into a 3000-year-old story and apply it to our lives today.

Really Bad Examples sermon series

Have you ever knowingly chosen the wrong option? You knew better but you intentionally chose the wrong path. Have you ever fallen under the spell of the crowd? Instead of pushing back, you just went along. If you can answer “Yes” to one or both of these scenarios, you have walked the same pathway that Pontius Pilate walked. It’s a pathway that leads to destruction, and in this teaching we will learn how to avoid this dangerous route.

Conventional wisdom is that you should never talk about religion or politics in public. But today we’re going to talk about BOTH – because You Asked For It. What is the biblical mandate when it comes to the proper posture Christians should have regarding our elected and appointed officials? What do political leaders deserve from us? Where is the “sweet spot” for a follower of Jesus when it comes to responding to governments and governing authorities? That is what we’re going to focus upon in today's message.

YAFI 2022

With 1000’s of people watching Broadway Church Online each week and with the new influx of interest in Online Church, it comes as no surprise that people are wondering what will happen to the future of the IN-PERSON Church gathering. Is the future of the Church in jeopardy? Are there advantages to attending Church in person rather than online, or is online better? Pastor Simon unpacks these questions by outlining the 5 purposes of the Church, what it is, and where it came from. He also has a special message just for our online audience. If you attend Church Online, you’re not going to want to miss this week!

YAFI 2022

With scandals around TV evangelists owning jets and pastors living in mansions, what really goes on behind the scenes when it comes to churches and finances? Particularly, what goes on behind the scenes when it comes to Broadway Church and finances? Why does Broadway Church receive offerings every week and what happens to the money that is given in those offerings every week? These are the questions that we tackle in today’s “You Asked For It” topic!

YAFI 2022

Have you ever felt like your passion for God has grown dim? What does the Bible say about how we keep up our spiritual fervour? The answer will surprise you, because it’s not what you think. The answer actually lies in the most common activity that we all engage in during our waking hours. In this message, Pastor Simon jumps into the debate surrounding the sacred/secular divide in our culture and encourages people to think hard about the other six days of the week.

Week 4

YAFI 2022

Life as a follower of Jesus Christ is a dynamic experience of personally interacting with the indwelling Spirit of God. If that is true, how can a person know when God is interacting with them? How can a person know when God is trying to say something to them? How can a person know when it is God who is actually speaking to them? In this teaching we will learn some amazing truths about how God speaks and how to recognize His voice in our lives!

How To Be Spiritual Without Being Weird

Today, we’re going to discover another “certain sign” of biblical spirituality: living life with an “open heart”. Living with an “open heart” means living with the ongoing awareness that the Creator of the universe dwells within you. Living with an “open heart” is the most fascinating, unpredictable, spontaneous, world-changing way that a human life can possibly be lived. If you think we’re exaggerating, take 25 minutes to listen and see if you change your mind...

Everywhere you go, anywhere you turn, there is evil. Greed, lust, anger, hate - these things run rampant in our world today. It’s easy to look around and think, “Why would a good and loving God allow such things to happen? Why doesn’t he stop this? When will he step in?” These are the questions that this series aims to tackle, equipping every Christ-follower to respond to evil in an honourable way.

Parenting during the darkness

October 1, 2023

Without a doubt, the most challenging (and rewarding) role a human being could ever have is the challenge of being a parent. Being given the responsibility of protecting and directing the life of an impressionable and vulnerable human being is daunting. While it is undeniably challenging, it is usually filled with moments of great joy. However, there can also be moments of great trial. There can be moments of chaos and moments of fear. This series is dedicated to those moments. This series is dedicated to equipping followers of Jesus for the moments when we find ourselves “parenting during the darkness...”

February 6, 2022

Life is filled with invitations: options from someone to go somewhere or to do something new. Not all invitations are created equal. Some invitations excite us excite. Other invitations terrify us. It really depends upon who is doing the inviting. Did you know that God is constantly inviting you to step into new territory? Did you know that you have invitations from God, waiting in the inbox of your life? It’s true. In this series we are going to take the time to open those invitations so that we can listen for His voice: to discover what He is saying and where He is leading.

The view from an airplane at 30,000 feet is very different from the view from the ground. Looking at a life from a distance of centuries is very different from looking at a life as it is being lived. In this series, we are going to take the 30,000-foot view of some lives that were lived thousands of years ago. Using the benefit of this 'bigger picture perspective' we are going to glean some practical truths. The ingredients in this series are simple: life + lessons

I love looking through microscopes. Microscopes magnify reality. Microscopes help you to see what you missed with the naked eye. Microscopes reveal things that were always there, but that you hadn’t noticed.

The word “supernatural” means “above or beyond what is natural.” It is “above or beyond” what one experiences in the ordinary. It is extraordinary. And it is what every Christ-follower should expect in their life. As a follower of Jesus Christ, we should be “naturally supernatural.” In this series, we are going to discover just what that means...

So often we get confused when it comes to money. Is it good or is it evil? Are we supposed to have lots or are we supposed to have little? And what are we supposed to do with what we have? Like I said, we often get confused when it comes to money. In reality, it’s really quite simple. The Biblical teaching regarding money can be boiled down to three basic truths.
