The Most Excellent Way. God is the author of the world’s greatest love story.  We will address the pain, the pleasure, and the purpose of dating, marriage, and singleness.

Living Water Reformed Church, URC, Brantford, ON

What is a Woman? It seems like such a simple question, yet many in our western world struggle or even refuse to provide an answer. What is our answer as Christians?

Membership Matters Today, very few churches maintain a formal church membership roster. Does that really matter? Is church membership just about our name on a piece of paper

Cornerstone URC, Edmonton, AB

Details

Rev. James Roosma

Speaking the Truth in Love As Christians, we hold the truth of God’s Word in high regard. We are called to know the truth, believe the truth, and defend the truth. But the Bible also teaches us how to “speak” the truth.

Grace Reformed Church, URC, Kelowna, BC

Details

Rev. Jeremy Segstro

Debunking the Myths about Evangelism What does it mean to evangelize?  Who should evangelize? How should we evangelize? Doesn't evangelism compete with our calling to care for our fellow Christians?

Rev. Kelvin Tiemstra

Living Out the Truth. You may be careful to speak the truth and act in a Godly manner when others are listening and watching, but who are you when no one is listening or watching?

Faith Reformed Church, URC, Telwa, BC

Details

Rev. Jason Vander Horst

The Truth about our Identity. “Identity” is a buzzword these days; Christians and non-Christians alike use it to assert their positions in the battle for truth. This has led to much confusion over what we mean when we speak of our identity.

Surrey Covenant Reformed Church, URC, Surrey, BC

Details

Rev. Aaron Van Der Heiden

Satan’s Oldest Trick. When Satan tempted our first parents to sin against God, he asked a subtle but sinister question: Did God really say? By asking this question, Satan invited Adam and Eve to doubt and question the integrity of God's Word.

Immanuel Covenant Reformed Church, URC, Abbotsford, BC

Details

Rev. Robert Van der Woerd

The Truth About Worship.  Have you worshiped at another church lately? If so, then you realize that no two churches have exactly the same worship service. It makes us wonder, who or what determines the way we worship?

Redeemer URC, Lacombe, AB

Details

Rev. John van Eyk

Rejoicing in Suffering Our culture encourages us to do all we can to avoid suffering -- and let’s face it, that’s very enticing. After all, who wants to feel pain? But have you ever considered that suffering can be a “good thing” for us? 

Trinity Reformed Church URC, Lethbridge, AB

Details

Rev. Ken Wieske

True Love. What is love? Is love more than a feeling, more than fleeting emotions? And what’s the difference between lust and love? In this session you will learn the Biblical definition of love.

St. Albert Canadian Reformed Church, St. Albert, AB

Rev. John Ysinga

The Truth about Heaven. What does the Bible teach about heaven? What is it that makes heaven, “heaven”? Also, what are some common myths or false-teachings which people have about heaven?

United Reformed Church of Thunder Bay, Thunder Bay, ON

Details

Rev. Gary Zekveld

Is the Bible Reliable? We confess that the Bible is God’s inspired and infallible Word. We are called to believe that what God says is true and we submit ourselves to the Bible’s authority. But how did the people in the Bible come to know this?
