Bay Vineyard Sermon Audio

Sam shares an Advent message, and our Bay Kids do a wonderful job of entertaining us in the annual Bay Kids Christmas Extravaganza service!

Guest speaker Dale Campbell shares an uplifting message on the thrill of hope in a weary world—reminding us that biblical hope isn’t just optimism, but a confident trust in God’s faithfulness. He encourages us to fix our eyes on God’s promises and live as people who carry that hope into the world around us.

Kara concludes our journey through the book of Colossians, examining Paul's powerful reminder of what shapes a thriving, Christ-centred life. She calls us to be devoted to prayer—alert, thankful, and expectant—because the gospel moves forward on the foundation of prayer. She urges us to walk with wisdom toward others, highlighting the beauty of a community bound together in Christ, where every person plays a part in God’s mission.

Sam explores Colossians 3:18–4:1, looking at how Paul’s words to wives, husbands, children, and even slaves turned the ancient world upside down. Far from reinforcing hierarchy, these verses reveal a radical vision of mutual love, service, and healing.

Sam shares the vision Paul paints of the resurrection life we’re invited to walk into as we follow the way of Jesus — a life marked by transformation, hope, and renewal. As we take on the character of Christ, we discover what it truly means to live in His freedom and fullness, allowing His life to shape every part of who we are.
