The Compass ChurchStoryteller – Ep 04 – "The Mustard Seed" In Matthew 13, Jesus taught about the "Kingdom of Heaven," where Jesus is King, and those who have surrendered their lives to His rule and reign make up this kingdom. The Kingdom of Heaven is both a physical kingdom, because heaven is a real place, and a spiritual kingdom, because it’s about God ruling—not just in a place but in a person—our hearts and lives.In this chapter, Jesus taught seven parables, six of which specifically focus on the Kingdom of Heaven. We will explore two of these parables. Pastor Blair’s message...2024-09-2939 min

The Compass ChurchStoryteller – Ep 03 – "The Sower" When the Bible calls us to be 'fruitful,' it means that the qualities, characteristics, and virtues of Jesus should become more and more evident in our lives.

Jesus explains three things that hinder our fruitfulness in the Parable of the Sower.Join Pastor Blair for our teaching as we learn about three particular things that threaten our fruitfulness—Satan, persecution, and the world. 2024-09-2247 min

The Compass ChurchInto the Wilderness – Ep 33 – "The Golden Calf" While Moses was away for 40 days receiving instructions from the Lord atop Mt. Sinai, the Israelites were back at camp engaging in wild parties and the worship of a golden calf. They had quickly abandoned the Lord and resorted to their old ways. Although they got out of Egypt, it seems Egypt had never gotten out of the Israelites. What lessons can we learn from this tragic story and how can we avoid similar compromises? Pastor Blair addresses those questions and more in our study from Exodus 32. 2024-06-2344 min

The Compass ChurchInto the Wilderness – Ep 28 – "The Grass is Not Always Greener" In this final teaching from the 10 Commandments, Pastor Blair examines the word “covet” and what it means to “desire enviously that which belongs to another.” If covetousness is like a tree, then there are generally five roots that nourish it: envy, jealousy, greed, lust, and discontentment. 2024-05-1247 min

The Compass ChurchJesus in All of Scripture The Bible is not simply a collection of interesting stories about morality, but one overarching Story about salvation found only in Jesus Christ.

The Compass ChurchAspens and the DNA of Community God created us for community. Christ centred community allows us to reflect the relational nature of God, as well as His mercy and grace. It is a community that seeks to live in peace with one another and reconcile broken relationships.The standard by which we are to measure our love for one another is to the extent that Jesus loved us.

The Compass ChurchThe True Vine Jesus gives us a clear visual picture that He is the true vine, and those who abide in Him will be connected to the source of all spiritual life.

As we bear fruit, God continually prunes us for more fruit and glory to His name. Pastor Blair goes on to describe the ways in which we are pruned.* Our apologies for the poor quality of this Sunday's audio...2014-03-0200 min

The Compass ChurchThe Light of the World Today in our world, there is a spiritual darkness that blinds the minds and controls the hearts of people who do not trust in Jesus, or who claim to know Him but do not follow Him.

The Compass ChurchEcclesiastes 9:1-10:20 Because we are unaware of the day of our death, we tend to live our days as if they are infinite. This can cause us to be careless with our money, our time, our relationships, our energy, our words, etc.Pastor Blair explains what it means to really live today with a perspective that life is a gift and tomorrow we may not have it, and what it means for a Christian to live in light of our future glorification. We learn how the richness of the Gospel impacts how we are to understand and view our...2013-12-0100 min

The Compass ChurchEcclesiastes 7:1-14 Like the making of currency, character is formed by pressure and polished by friction.

The Compass ChurchTough Question #6 Are new covenant Christians biblically and morally obligated to give according to old covenant laws? Are Christians obligated to tithe of their income, and does the Bible legislate to believers under the new covenant a specific percentage of their income that they are to give?Pastor Blair examines these questions through the lens of Scripture, and looks at what the Old Testament and New Testament say about tithing, and why this is such an important topic to discuss. 2013-08-1800 min

The Compass ChurchTough Question #5 Can a Christian lose their salvation? Does the God of the universe lose one of His children? And how can a Christian be assured of their salvation?Throughout the pages of Scripture, we find the truth that God completes that which He begins.

The Compass ChurchTough Question #4 What is the baptism of the Holy Spirit? What does it mean to be filled with the Holy Spirit?There is much confusion around the Holy Spirit and spiritual experiences, and churches often divide over them.

What is this exactly, and why do so many divide over the understanding of them? 2013-08-0400 min

The Compass ChurchTough Question #3 Will people be condemned for not believing in Jesus though they've never heard His name?

Pastor Blair also explains the mission has a church, and how we are sent by th...2013-07-2800 min

The Compass ChurchI am Rewarded God has given parents the authority to steward the blessing of children, and has provided parents with guildlines for this. We are to teach our children first-time obedience. Our aim is not mere behaviour modification, which is fleeting and does not last, but rather aim to teach them the ways of God through heart transformation.Pastor Blair explains the difference between the two, what this practically looks like, and guidelines for being a Gospel-centered family, which can be taken into any relationship. 2013-05-0500 min

The Compass ChurchI am Adopted As a Christian, you've been adopted by God the Father. We are adopted as one of God's children, and as a result, we are putting off our old self and being given a new identity. The work done by Jesus through the cross and resurrection is what shapes our new identity as adopted children of God. And together, we are a family of brothers and sisters in Christ.Pastor Blair explains this amazing picture of adoption by God the Father, and the various blessings and obligations that go along with adoption. 2013-04-2100 min

The Compass ChurchI am Afflicted Suffering and affliction are part of what it means to have our identity rooted in Christ. God has designed that suffering of His people is one essential means in the triumph and spread of the Gospel to all people of the world.

The Compass ChurchI am Saved Jesus did the greatest rescue story in all of history in that God sent His Son to save us and snatch us from sin, satan and death.

When we understand this and live our life in light of our future glorification, we can live! What's your hope in? What's your identity wrapped up in? Pastor Blair explains what it means to be saved and what we are saved from. 2013-02-1700 min

The Compass ChurchI am a Saint Paul writes to the church in Ephesus and starts by saying they are saints in Christ. If you're in Christ, you are a saint. Being a saint requires one step: be in Christ. A Christian's identity is primarily saint, not sinner. You will have saint as your constant identity and sinner as your occasional activity. Pastor Blair explains what it means to be a saint. 2013-01-2700 min

The Compass ChurchI am... Who are we in Christ and how does this impact the way we live out our lives? Everything hinges on who we are. The thing that changes everything is the issue of our identity. The only thing that will help us truly live in the freedom, joy and assurance of God that He desires for us is understanding our true identity-not in what we do, but in who we are as children of God made in His image and defining ourselves by Christ alone.Before diving into the book of Ephesians, Pastor Blair takes us back to...2013-01-1300 min

The Compass ChurchGalatians 5:1-15 "For freedom Christ has set us free."Pastor Blair shares how we are not to submit to a yoke of slavery since God has called us into His freedom.

Law (represented by Moses).Last week, Pastor Blair focused his message on Promise. This week's sermon is now focused on Law.Pastor Blair shares why God gave us the law if salvation is by promise.

He also shares with us how we are not just saved by the Gospel, but we grow by applying the Gospel to every area of our life. We do not get beyond the Gospel.

The Compass ChurchGalatians 2:1-10 The Gospel is a simple message, but a profoundly confused one.

Pastor Blair explains these two concepts, and how they're distortions of the true Gospel.We also learn what open-handed and closed-handed issues mean for us.
