    Salvation is from the Jews

    What happens when shame meets grace? In this powerful message, guest speaker Aden Friedman from Jews for Jesus unpacks the story of the Samaritan woman in John 4—a story of brokenness, identity, and transformation. Through a deeply personal and mission-driven perspective, we are reminded that Jesus doesn’t avoid our pain—He meets us in it. The woman at the well came in shame, hiding from others… but left as a bold witness, transformed by an encounter with the Messiah.

    Find Your Four

    What if the breakthrough you’re praying for isn’t just about your faith—but the people you surround yourself with?

Through their persistence, faith, and boldness, a paralyzed man encounters not just physical healing—but something even deeper: forgiveness and transformation. Whether you feel stuck spiritually, emotionally, or in life, this message invites you to take a step of faith and encounter Jesus in a personal way.

    The Math of God

    On this special Pi Day Sabbath, we explore a powerful connection between faith, mathematics, and the nature of God. What does an infinite number like pi reveal about our longing for meaning? Why does the universe operate with such precise order and consistency? And how does all of this point us toward a Creator who is both infinite and deeply personal? Through Scripture, science, and reflection, this message reminds us that the same God who designed galaxies and mathematical constants also knows us intimately—down to the very details of our lives. If you’ve ever wrestled with the relationship between faith and reason, or wondered whether life is random or designed, this message invites you to see beyond the numbers and discover the heart of God. Because in a world searching for meaning, there is one constant that never changes—His love. Visit Us at oacvancouver.ca We believe that Jesus is needed and relevant for people in Vancouver today.

    The Only Solution

    Humanity has spent centuries trying to understand the brokenness of our world. Philosophers, thinkers, and worldviews have all attempted to explain suffering, evil, and injustice. But explaining the problem is not the same as solving it. Looking at Romans 8:31–39, we discover that the gospel does not merely analyze the problem of sin—it provides the solution. Through the life, death, resurrection, and ongoing intercession of Jesus Christ, God has acted to rescue humanity.

    Created, Redeemed, Restored to Rest

    In this moving message, Pastor Widens shares a deeply personal journey through grief, calling, and healing. After the loss of his mother, he wrestled with anger toward God and the weight of ministry. Yet through prayer, worship, and the embrace of his children, he discovered something profound: connection brings healing, and healing leads to rest. Through Scripture, he reminds us that the Sabbath is not simply about stopping work or following rules. It is about entering into God’s completed work—first at Creation and ultimately through Christ’s sacrifice on the cross.

    Unquenchable

    Who doesn’t love a good love story? From action heroes to childhood crushes, from Isaac and Rebekah to Ruth and Boaz — something in all of us longs for a story where love wins in the end. But what if the greatest love story ever written isn’t just poetic… it’s prophetic? In this culminating message of our “Wanted” series, Pastor Jess explores Song of Songs 8:6–7 and uncovers the deeper meaning behind Solomon’s wilderness romance. Beneath the passion and poetry lies something far greater — a typology of Christ, our Shepherd-King, and His enduring love for His bride.

    Sacred Chemistry

    Valentine’s Day on Sabbath only comes around every seven years — and this week at Oakridge Adventist Church in Vancouver, we leaned into it. Continuing our Wanted series through the biblical book of Song of Songs, this message explores a powerful truth: our human desire, attraction, and embodied love are not accidents of biology — they are sacred design. Often misunderstood or over-spiritualized, Song of Songs reminds us that intimacy carries theological weight. From eye contact that bonds us… to the calming power of a loving voice… to the science behind touch, scent, and even a kiss — this message unpacks how modern neurobiology beautifully affirms what Scripture has always celebrated: we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Rather than separating body and spirit, this sermon reveals how our biology actually points to theology. The God who created galaxies also created goosebumps. The One who formed the universe formed the chemistry of connection within us. Whether you’re single, married, grieving, celibate, or somewhere in between — this message invites you to see your whole self as sacred and designed for covenant love. ✨ Attraction. Attachment. Covenant.  ✨ Not lust, but wholeness.  ✨ Not shame, but sacred embodiment. Listen now and rediscover the holy purpose woven into your very design.

    God ___ Me

    How would you fill in the blank? Loves? Wants? Or, if we’re honest… tolerates? Is disappointed with? Ignores? In this opening message of our new series Wanted, we begin an unexpected journey through one of the most poetic — and often avoided — books of the Bible: the Song of Songs. Far from being just romantic poetry, this ancient text reveals something startling about the heart of God. Through the voice of a marginalized, sun-darkened working woman boldly declaring, “I am dark and beautiful,” we discover a gospel reversal: the King desires the overlooked. The Beloved chooses the one the world devalues. This is not love rooted in status, image, or perfection — it is love that pursues, affirms, and delights. In a culture obsessed with comparison, hustle, and curated worth, this message speaks directly to the ache so many carry: Am I truly wanted? The answer of Scripture is clear. You are not tolerated.  You are not an obligation.  You are desired.  You are beloved.  You are wanted. Join us as we explore how God’s love meets us in the middle of our story — and how receiving that love transforms the way we see ourselves and others.
