Why I Want To Go On Living
Living as Citizens of the Land Called Gospel | Week 3 | In this week’s sermon, Darrell examines how Paul suddenly goes from evangelistic success to being falsely accused and awaiting trial for his life in a Roman prison. Frustration, bewilderment and despair would be normal reactions to such a fall from grace, but instead, Paul is able to rejoice even in the face of suffering and death. How is this possible? Darrell unpacks how God used what happened to Paul, through Paul and in Paul to show how God uses all things to further his kingdom both in the world and in our lives. We learn how and why we can therefore face adversity, and tell the world why we want to go on living in Christ.

He Always Finishes What He Starts
Living as Citizens of the Land Called Gospel | Week 2 | In this sermon, Darrell delves into the underlying reason for Paul’s joy as expressed in the opening chapter of his letter to the church at Philippi.
Despite his own imprisonment and news of conflict within the church, Paul is anything but discouraged or fearful. His unwavering confidence in the surety of God finishing the work that God started undergirds his joy and fuels his love and affection for the Philippians. Fully captivated by the gospel of Jesus Christ and fully convinced of God’s power to bring the “good work” that He began in his people to completion, Paul instructs his listeners to live boldly in light of the good news of Christ's salvation and the certainty of God’s activity.
For God only begins what He intends to perfect.

NEW SERIES: Living as Citizens of the Land Called Gospel
Living as Citizens of the Land Called Gospel | Week 1 | In this first episode of our new series on Paul’s letter to the church in Phillipi, Darrell takes us into what we need to know in order to hear his word. Really hear - so as to join the group gathered in a living room in downtown Phillipi. As we listen to Paul’s message, we hear his chief reason for writing - to exhort us to live in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ (2:27). We hear a call to live lives which are self-evidently shaped by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Unpacking this exhortation, we can more clearly see an invitation in the text to deeper friendship with one another. It's a friendship that points us to the relationship that’s at the centre of everything - between Father Son and Spirit.

Resurrection Sunday: Why We Believe It Really Happened
A man resurrected from the dead? Really? How is it that we can believe what we read in the Gospels to be true - that Jesus really was raised from the dead?
21st-century skeptics find themselves in good company with people who first heard the Good News. And yet, within months, thousands of people throughout the Roman Empire came to believe that the news was true & their lives were renewed.
What happened between skepticism and faith?
In this sermon, Darrell teaches from Luke 24:1-11, taking us into the data offered in the New Testament. Through this exposition, we come to see that faith in the Jesus of Easter is a leap of faith, but it is not a leap in the dark.

Good Friday Message: The Curtain Torn in Two
Total darkness in the middle of the day, rocks splitting, graves opening, the curtain in the temple torn in two - what does it all mean?
In this Good Friday message, Darrell teaches from Matthew 27 on Jesus’ death. He explains how we can read all of this as a response to Jesus’ cry from the cross: “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”(46).
As we work through this passage, we come to see that Jesus suffers this abandonment in our place. Instead, the cry we hear from the cross is “Come - just as you are”. We find that the curtain has been torn and we sinners can press in to the presence of the Holy One through His sacrifice. Hallelujah!

Persecuted, Blessed
People In Sync | Week 9 | In this sermon, Darrell works through the eighth and final Beatitude of Jesus found in Matthew chapter 5. This beatitude addresses the “persecuted blessed.” To be in sync with Jesus and His kingdom means we can expect to be treated the way Jesus was treated. Followers of Jesus can anticipate opposition, even persecution because they crave right-relatedness with him. Darrell asks, “If the world system, secular or religious, could not handle Jesus doing his gospel - what’s going to happen to those who go carry this same message ?” This sermon closes with three words of encouragement in the face of persecution from Jesus, as he promises “theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven”

Customer Reviews
A gift
This podcast is such a gift - I took a few classes with Darrell at Regent and he’s been a huge influence in the way I try to minister and especially teach/preach. I loved the recent episode where you interview Darrell about pastoring and his new book on the 10 commandments - more of that please! :)
Engaging
With so much fluffy interpretation out there I was looking for something more deep and this is it. It is as the book of Hebrews speaks about regarding “milk” vs. “meat”. These messages keep your eyes fixed on Jesus and what Jesus is telling us without polishing it up to be “culturally relevant”. Without knowing Biblical Greek, I depend upon competent pastors to interpret the Bible as it was written by the original divinely inspired authors.
Great communicator
Extremely though provoking, and great exegesis of scripture! Engaged all the way from start to end
