Sermons About Language
Tripping Tongues
Gossip, grumbling, and grenades are some of the tools that our tongues use to set fire to the world; however, in the waters of Holy Baptism, God's grace connects us to God, and our tongues may glorify His name.

Washington's Spymaster
The role of espionage was crucial during the War for Independence. Spying was made even more irresistible with both sides speaking the same language. When spy Nathan Hale was captured and hung by the British, George Washington was highly motivated to centralize intelligence operations. An American commander, Benjamin Tallmadge, became Washington’s chief of intelligence. Tallmadge ran a network of spies using cipher codes, invisible ink, double agents, and disinformation.

From home to...
Patrice Nagant is the director for church-planting for our Mennonite Brethren Churches in the province of Quebec. You will be inspired today by God's story in Patrice's life, and the exciting work that is happening in Quebec. Quebec represents for us one of the clearest images of the "Samaria" context; literally a nation within the nation, with its own language and customs but most importantly, beautiful people who matter to Jesus! My prayer for this weekend is that you'll be inspired by the partnerships we have in this least reached province of Canada. Acts:1-8

A Reformed-Charismatic Approach to Prophecy
God is still giving the gift of prophecy to his people; we should desire all gifts and the gift of prophecy in particular; and we should strive to practice this gift in obedience to scripture. Prophecy as practiced in the NT church was primarily concerned with the edification, encouragement and consolation of God's people rather than with prediction of the future. Contrasted with the gift of tongues, although both gifts are equally a work of the Holy Spirit, prophecy is able to be understood by all; it is addressed towards people rather than towards God; it builds up not only the speaker but also the hearers; and it convicts unbelievers. Phil also discusses some practicals of prophecy in the Lord's day meeting in our church.
