Good afternoon! It was quite the day on Sunday! We celebrated communion together and then had the chance to celebrate the life of Levi Tamminga. It’s great to celebrate! I hope you’re coping well with the heat and humidity of late. Just a reminder, be sure you’re drinking lots of water in these days and staying hydrated. There’s your fitness tip for the day! Thanks to Those who gave and served! It was a great celebration on Sunday and worth the wait. Thanks to all of you who contributed to the group gift for Levi Tamminga as well as providing individual gifts. Thanks also to our amazing tech team who looked after all the production and livestream details. Finally, a BIG thank you to Andrea Thornton who organized the whole event. It’s such a joy when the family of God comes together in celebration. Join in Prayer This will be our last Tuesday afternoon prayer gathering for this spring. Join us this afternoon at 3:30pm. We continue to pray as prompted by God’s Word, intercede for our church family and city, and enjoy the encouragement of God’s presence. Please join us! Thought for the Day: What is the fruitful Christian life? The fruit of Good Works We’ve been thinking about living a life that bears fruit of late. This really is the by-product though of discipleship and being engaged in your faith journey. Here’s another way to look at it. The good works that the believer does can also be counted as fruits. We’ve certainly been looking at this in our study in James and a ‘faith that works’ but what might that look like? When you show even the simplest acts of kindness to Christians and non-Christian alike that you come in contact with, extend a helping hand to those in need or share your time and talent (or money) in support of our church ministry, you are bearing the fruit of good works. However, I want to emphasize a key biblical truth that good works do not have any bearing on our salvation. We have been saved by grace through faith alone in the Lord Jesus and this is not from ourselves. Salvation is the gift of God, not by our works so that none of us can boast (Ephesians 2:8-9). Our works, therefore, flow out of God being in us through the act of salvation and through the Holy Spirit. The good works we do are fruits, then, of our salvation. In other words, they are evidence of our genuine faith, they show to us that we have received God’s gift of salvation. This is actually what James is pointing out when he said, “Faith without works is dead.” We don’t have to prove to God that our faith is genuine; He knows because He sees our hearts. But our good works will prove to others that we are truly saved and we belong to Jesus. I hope that distinction is clear and the call on our lives to do something with the gift of salvation is even clearer. Time to bear some fruit! In His grip, Pastor Chris

Good afternoon. I hope you're making this a great week! The weather this past week has been amazing. It’s been nice to just be out and about, enjoying the longer days, sunshine and cooler nights. These are all simple blessings we can enjoy that have nothing to do with what’s going on in the world around us.

Remember, you can join us as we gather in-person or you can connect through our website www.guelphbiblechapel.ca our YouTube channel as well as Facebook LIVE Thought for the Day: What is the fruitful Christian life? The Fruit of His Labor Before Jesus ascended to heaven, He gave this command to His disciples: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you” and He promised, “I am always with you to the end of the age.” We know this mandate was not only for the eleven disciples of Jesus but for every believer in Jesus. We are to GO. That means wherever God sends us and share our faith with others and the hope we have in God. If they respond by accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior of their lives, they become our fruit but also in some ways our responsibility. For we are to MAKE DISCIPLES. That means we make sure they are connected to a good church, they have and are reading the Bible, that they are praying and growing in God. No, it’s not our sole responsibility but we do have a part to play. When we do this we participate as part of the fruit of God’s labor. We also don’t do it alone since Jesus also promised he would be with us every step of the way. I hope that’s an encouragement to go out and bear fruit! In His grip, Pastor Chris Good morning! Lots of updates and things coming up this week so please take a look at everything here. It was great to see more of you out on Sunday but I’m also glad to see a number of you who are part of our virtual congregation engaging in the chat, especially on Facebook. I always check afterwards to see who even just said hello. It’s nice to be able to stay connected!
Virtual Concert of Prayer Thursday! Join the GBC family in a time of prayer for the youth over the summer and Oasis at 7:30 pm Thursday! There will be a testimony, Scripture reading, and prayer for the needs of youth during the summer months and for Oasis.

This will happen shortly after the main service ends for those who are here in person. If you’re part of our virtual family, we’d love you to join in as well. We’re having a Zoom connect opportunity so you can watch. The link will be coming out on Thursday’s update. Communion This Sunday! Our next opportunity to participate in communion will be held this Sunday as part of our in-person service. I would encourage you to spend time this week preparing your hearts to commune with the Lord. Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians that when we take communion “whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.” This is a great thing to remember: Jesus is coming back and when he does everything changes. We’ll be remembering that on Sunday. I hope you’ll celebrate with us. For those who are part of our livestream family, I’d encourage you to participate. If you’d like a set of the elements we’ll be using, let me know and I can arrange delivery. Join in Prayer Our second last Tuesday afternoon prayer gathering for this spring is coming up this afternoon at 3:30pm. We continue to pray as prompted by God’s Word, intercede for our church family and city, and enjoy the encouragement of God’s presence. Please join us! Thought for the Day: Living a Fruitful Life- The Fruit of the Holy Spirit Last week I introduced the idea of living a fruitful life as a follower of Jesus. This allows us to not only let the light of the gospel shine but also live the life God has given us to the fullest. Here’s our next idea: whenever the Bible speaks of fruit or being fruitful in Christ, it is often in reference to the fruit of the Holy Spirit, as shared in Galatians 5, operating in the life of a believer: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control Notice that these fruits are attributes of God-like love, peace, faithfulness, and goodness. It is expected that these fruits will closely resemble the parent plant, which in this case is the Spirit of God. While it’s true that we can’t see in the human heart to know who is truly born again and who isn’t, we can see the fruit of a person’s life or the absence of it. A person who is truly saved and belonging to Jesus, having already crucified the flesh with its passions and desires, is now living according to the Spirit. And if he is living according to the Spirit then he is also walking according to the Spirit, thereby making the fruits of the flesh less visible which we read about right before in Galatians 5. Fruit, and a fruitful life, is manifest in how we live and what we do. In His grip, Pastor Chris Good morning. I hope you’re making this a great week. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to marry David and Caroline this weekend. They’re a great couple and are really committed to letting their lights shine and bearing fruit with their lives together. Please join me in praying God’s blessings upon them.
Speaking of fruit, I’m beginning my next series of thoughts today. I’m looking at the idea of living a fruitful life. This continues the thought from before of living a life of character but makes it a bit more tangible. I hope you’ll fully engage with what’s going to be shared in the updates to come.

On Tuesday I introduced you to two of our summer staff, Hunter Hamilton and Matthew Cline. Today I’m happy to share with you the third member of our team. Natalie Fangrad will be joining us working in media ministry and children’s ministry. Natalie is an active member of our youth group being part of our leadership team, and also part of the production team and Oasis. Please add her to your prayers for our summer staff. Join us on Sunday in-person or on our livestream for Faith that Works! This Sunday at 11am Patrick will be continuing our series: “Faith that Works”, a look at the book of James. Patrick will be looking at the first part of ch.4 and the idea of submission. What does it look like to submit to God and how can I do it? Find out Sunday as we build together a ‘faith that works’. Remember, you can join us as we gather in-person or you can connect through our website www.guelphbiblechapel.ca our YouTube channel as well as Facebook LIVE Thought for the Day: What is the fruitful Christian life? Who doesn’t like to bite into a good piece of fruit? Regardless of your preference, fruit is tasty, nutritious and is good for you. Have you ever considered this thought in terms of your spiritual life? Pardon? My walk with God ‘tasty’? Say what? As I’ve been talking about living a ‘faith that works’ in our study on the book of James a few times I’ve talked about fruit or being fruitful. So, for the next few weeks I’m going to examine some different ways to look at the idea of being fruitful and what fruit our lives produce. I hope that it is a challenge and encouragement! We find the idea in the earliest book of the Bible. In the creation story, in Genesis 1, the very first command given to man by God was “to be fruitful and increase in number.” God uses the idea of growing and reproducing. Interestingly, Jesus gave a similar command to His followers in John 15:16: “to go and bear fruit – fruit that will last.” He talked a lot about fruit in this particular chapter. The key thread is we are to bear fruit which means we are to do something with our faith, with the gift of salvation and with the call on our lives. We’re to live a ‘faith that works’ and be a ‘doer of the word and not listener only.’ But what fruit (or fruits) is Jesus referring to in this passage? What does it mean for a believer to be fruitful? And how are Christians supposed to bear fruit? There are three kinds of fruits that Jesus can be referring to in this passage: the fruit of the Spirit, the fruit of our labor and our good works. We’re going to look at each over the next couple of weeks and see how we can apply this to our lives. In His grip, Pastor Chris Good morning! It was great to see so many of you out on Sunday for our first in-person service in a while. It was also nice to be able to return to singing. I enjoyed listening to those of you who joined in!
I’m wrapping up my thoughts today on having Christian character. Thanks for all those who shared with me that this was impactful to them, I appreciate that. I’ll be starting a new series of thoughts on Thursday. Meet our Summer Staff! As in past years, GBC has applied for funding under the Canada Summer Jobs program to hire staff who are between the ages of 15 and 30 for a variety of tasks. I’m pleased to share that so far we have hired two. The first is Hunter Hamilton. Hunter will be known to the GBC family as one who has been involved in our music ministry, Oasis ministry and in the past youth ministry. Hunter is going into his last year of studies in broadcasting and will be serving in two roles: maintenance and youth/children’s ministry until the fall. The other is Matthew Cline. Matthew is newer to the GBC family and you might remember he was baptized in November. Matthew will be working with me on a leadership development internship as he explores God’s call on his life in terms of ministry. Please welcome Hunter and Matthew to staff. I’d encourage you to pray for them from now and throughout the summer. Invitation to David and Caroline’s Wedding David and Caroline would like to invite anyone interested to watch the broadcast of their wedding this Saturday afternoon at 4pm on Zoom (broadcast starts at 3:50pm) https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87320840102?pwd=UkdaNVp5ZmtXZFFXN1l4cTNaRWhIdz09 Meeting ID: 873 2084 0102 Passcode: Wedding!

We continue to pray as prompted by God’s Word, intercede for our church family and city, and enjoy the encouragement of God’s presence. Please join us! Thought for the Day: Growing in Christian Character means…. We’ve been looking at the traits of Christian character and how to develop them in the day-to-day of our lives. So, let me summarize this a bit and share one more thought. We develop Christian character by controlling our thoughts, practicing Christian virtues, guarding our hearts, and keeping good company. Men and women of character will set a good example for others to follow, and their godly reputation will be evident to all. As we examine this short list is there anything they have in common? I believe there is! They all require us to: Live!! We all live life in context and some form of community. So, to be a person of character we need to live. But with that in mind, be different in the way that you live life. Be mature and conduct yourself maturely. This doesn't mean that you have to look totally different but it does mean that you should be mindful of how you dress and thoughtful in your interactions with social media. As well, listen to good music with a positive message (based on your taste of course!) and avoid any inappropriate videos. Use your best judgment. The only way to truly live in a Christ-honoring fashion is to know Jesus. You will never know him completely, on earth, but throughout life, by praying, reading your Bible, getting involved with study, being a disciple, being in community in a small group, you can know him more. Act the way Jesus did, and that's a life worth living. Once you know Jesus more than you did at first then you can understand how to live. Remember those WWJD bracelets that were popular a few years ago? May that be a reminder: what would Jesus do? It’s hard though to do what Jesus did if we don’t BE what Jesus was. And that was a person of character. Strive to live the best character you can and watch your life change and the life of those around you. In His grip, Pastor Chris Good morning! I’ve heard from a number of you about how excited you are to be able to attend church in-person again Sunday. I am too! Also, remember, kid’s church is on as well and we’re returning to congregational singing. With all this in mind, I hope you’re making this a great week.
Virtual Concert of Prayer on June 24th! Join the GBC family in a time of prayer for the youth over the summer and Oasis at 7:30 pm on June 24th! There will be a testimony, Scripture reading, and prayer for the needs of youth during the summer months and for Oasis. Connect details will come out next week. Join us on Sunday in-person or on our livestream for Faith that Works! This Sunday at 11am I’ll be continuing our series: “Faith that Works”, a look at the book of James. This week I’ll be looking at the last part of ch.3 and the issue of wisdom. Is there such a thing as ‘good’ wisdom and ‘bad’ wisdom? How would you know? Find out what I’m talking about on Sunday as we build together a ‘faith that works’. Remember, you can join us as we gather again in-person or you can connect through our website www.guelphbiblechapel.ca our YouTube channel as well as Facebook LIVE Thought for the Day: God desires to develop the character already in us It’s God’s purpose to develop the character within that He’s already planted in us. We read in Proverbs 17: “The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the heart”. Godly character is the result of the Holy Spirit’s work of sanctification in every believer. Character, then, in the believer is a consistent manifestation of Jesus in his life. It’s the purity of heart that God gives becoming purity in action. God sometimes uses trials to strengthen character. We’ve been learning this in our study of James and a ‘faith that works’, but the Bible also says: “we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope”. God is pleased when His children grow in character. We read in the Psalms “you test the heart and are pleased with integrity”. God loves when we grow in character! While its there to be developed and God helps us through the Holy Spirit, we still need to work to develop it. With that in mind, here’s our next tip: Learn! Once you become more devoted to Jesus, things should become different. I still remember that vividly in my own life. Christian musician Steven Curtis Chapman says, "What about the difference? What about the change? What about forgiveness? What about a life that's showing I'm undergoing a change?" In order to see that change take root we need to learn. We learn about God, about his character, his desires for us and what Godly character looks like. We can do that through doing a Bible study, being part of a small group or reading Christian literature. A great resource we have at GBC are our libraries. We have an adult library in the Side Auditorium with amazing resources and an excellent children’s library upstairs in our Children’s Ministry Wing. Now that we’re reopening why not check out some books and use some of your time to learn? When you do, you can’t help but develop of character! In His grip, Pastor Chris Good afternoon! I was excited to share with you on Sunday that Alec and Jazz are having their 2nd child in December. If you missed my announcement…well…now you know! I’m pretty pumped.
Speaking of pumped, I was happy to hear the government is moving up their reopening plan by a few days which allows us to return to in-person services on Sunday. Return to Indoor In-Person Services Sunday! I’m excited to welcome you back this Sunday to our in-person service. Yesterday announcements allowed for indoor services at 15% capacity so no need for us to meet in the parking lot! So, on Sunday the Side Auditorium will be open for seating and overflow. As a reminder, all of our protocols from before will be in place. You’ll be greeted upon entry and asked to do a Covid screen, we’d ask that you wear a mask your whole time indoors and practice physical distancing. In addition, we ask that once the service is over you exit and socialize on the front lawn. With the Phase 1 reopening, singing will be permitted with a mask. We’re excited to return and appreciate the situation here is still fluid in many ways so thank you for your flexibility over the past few months as we navigate this situation. As always, things are subject to change based on government and by-law orders. Of course, for those unable to come, or uncomfortable coming, we’ll have our livestream for you to participate in. Last call for our Outreach Survey Thanks for those who’ve filled in the survey on our outreach ministry. This is your last chance to fill it in if you haven’t already! As a reminder, one of our key focus areas as a church is outreach. It’s our desire as a church to seek to reach the community around us with the Good News of the gospel. One way we can do that is through church-wide initiatives. So, I want you input! Attached is a link to a survey that you can fill in with several ideas our outreach team is excited about for you to rank plus also an opportunity to share with us other ideas you may have. So please take a few minutes to complete the survey and let us know what you think. https://form.jotform.com/211436504821044 Join in Prayer The GBC Prayer Group meets in the side auditorium on TUESDAY AFTERNOONS at 3:30pm. We continue to pray as prompted by God’s Word, intercede for our church family and city, and enjoy the encouragement of God’s presence. Please join us! Thought for the Day: Character is influenced and developed by our choices. As we continue to look at how to grow in Godly character and live it out, I suspect most of you realize that the choices we make have a huge impact on our character. You’ve hopefully also realized that this is not something that happens just in church but rather in the ‘lab’ of life. We need to CHOOSE each day how we’ll live in the reality of our world and the choices it gives. Daniel “resolved not to defile himself” while living in captivity in Babylon and that Godly choice was an important step in formulating an unquestionable integrity in his life. Character, in turn, influences our choices. Proverbs 3 tells us: “The integrity of the upright guides them”. Character will help us weather the storms of life and keep us from sin. Okay, ready to put this into practice? Here’s our next tip: Fellowship! You can’t do this in a vacuum and you cannot find success alone. You need others in your life; you need fellowship. That word means a lot more than casseroles and roaster chicken at church get-togethers. It means conversation. It means praying together. It means talking about what God is doing in your life. It means building up others who feel down. Okay, that makes sense, but it also means no gossiping! As I discussed on Sunday from James 3, we need to watch what we say. Are the things we’re saying building others up or tearing them down? So, it takes making wise choices and that means you need other Christians in your life to help you out. You need other Christians to give you encouragement and to listen to you. You need advice, too. And you need to give it when you can. Not sure where to look? Hint, hint: the best place to start looking for some Christian friends, is, of course, church. Choose them wisely though, only the ones that look and act like they really are dedicated and really are following Jesus. Then you can both grow in character! In His grip, Pastor Chris Good morning! I hope you’re making this a great week! Overcast and rainy day today, it seems, but the rain is always welcome to keep things green. I guess it all depends on how you look at it!
Outreach Survey Last week I sent out the attached survey asking for your input on our outreach ministry. I was happy with the response! As a reminder, one of our key focus areas as a church is outreach. It’s our desire as a church to seek to reach the community around us with the Good News of the gospel. One way we can do that is through church-wide initiatives. So, I want you input! Attached is a link to a survey that you can fill in with several ideas our outreach team is excited about for you to rank plus also an opportunity to share with us other ideas you may have. So please take a few minutes to complete the survey and let us know what you think. https://form.jotform.com/211436504821044 Join us on Sunday for Faith that Works! This Sunday I’ll be continuing our series: “Faith that Works”, a look at the book of James. This week I’ll be looking at the first part of ch.3 which addresses something very dangerous and deadly: our tongue! What? Really? Really. Find out what I’m talking about on Sunday as we build together a ‘faith that works’. Remember, you can connect through our website www.guelphbiblechapel.ca our YouTube channel as well as Facebook LIVE Thought for the Day: Character is built on consistent experience I introduced to you the idea of character, defined it and looked a bit at its importance. So now the natural question might be: how do we gauge character? A person’s character is the sum of his or her disposition, thoughts, intentions, desires, and actions. It’s good to remember that character is gauged by general tendencies, not on the basis of a few isolated actions. We must look at the whole life. For example, King David was a man of good character although he sinned on occasion (and had a few BIG ones). And although King Ahab may have acted nobly once (hint: see 1 Kings 22:35), he was still a man of overall bad character. Several people in the Bible are described as having noble character: Ruth, Nehemiah, and Job, for instance. These people’s lives were distinguished by persistent moral virtue. They stuck with it. That means they consistently sought to learn from God and follow him no matter the circumstance. With this in mind, here’s our tip for the day: Experience! You grow in Godly character through experience in the day-in and day-out, in the grind of life. When you allow this to happen an interesting thing happens: you can then experience the power of God in your life and know the real happiness which is more than just a religious concept. There is joy in living the fullness of character that comes through having the Holy Spirit in your life. As you grow in character you can build up your faith by praying as you experience the power of the Holy Spirit. This takes time though, and it takes consistent effort. When you do, you’ll experience the joy, power and transformation for yourself and the world around you of Godly character. In His grip, Pastor Chris Good morning. I hope you all had a pleasant weekend. I’m going to be starting a new series of thoughts today on the issue of character. As I’ve watched leaders, politicians, celebrities and others grapple with the reality of the pandemic we’re still in I’ve been disappointed, frankly, by the lack of character I’ve seen. So, I want to spend some time looking at this issue and encourage all of us to develop Godly character.
Return to In-Person Services I mentioned in passing last week that we’re looking at resuming in-person services outdoors when the province moves into Phase 1 of our re-opening. I’m happy to report our ministry program team and production team have been hard at work planning to make this happen. I’ve had the opportunity to be in some of the conversations about this and I’m excited by the opportunity this presents. We have a CAN DO attitude here at GBC so you’ll be finding out details soon on what this will look like. Here’s a teaser though: we’ll be holding services in the main parking lot (like our Christmas services) but these will be livestreamed as well. I can’t wait! Join in Prayer The GBC Prayer Group meets in the side auditorium on TUESDAY AFTERNOONS at 3:30pm. We continue to pray as prompted by God’s Word, intercede for our church family and city, and enjoy the encouragement of God’s presence. Please join us! Thought for the Day: What does it mean to be a person of character? I’m going to be looking at the issue of character over the next couple of weeks. I’ll look at an element of character and then some practical tips (like in the book of James!) on how to grow in character. To start with, character is defined as the attributes and features that make up a person. That’s good, but I like to take it one step further: character is ‘moral excellence and firmness. strength of moral fiber.’ Pastor and author A.W. Tozer described character as “the excellence of moral beings.” As the excellence of gold is its purity and the excellence of art is its beauty, so the excellence of people is in their character. Persons of character are noted for their honesty, ethics, and charity. Descriptions such as “man of principle” and “woman of integrity” are assertions of character. A lack of character is moral deficiency, and persons lacking character tend to behave dishonestly, unethically, and uncharitably. It’s pretty straightforward but hard to attain! Here's your first tip on growing in character: Read! Let's say you get an e-mail from one of your close friends you haven't heard from in a while. What do you do? You read it, of course! God wrote several letters to us, including James which we’re currently studying. When was the last time you read them? We develop character by understanding how God sees it and then applying this to our lives. Make sense? Good! But don't take out your dusty Bible and read it from cover-to-cover tonight. No guilt trip here. Instead, find and following a reading plan but also read other books, like devotionals, studies or commentaries that repeatedly talk about and look at the Bible; then you should read chapters of the Bible dealing with the issue in your devotional. A good standard of Bible reading time is ten to twenty minutes a day. You can do more if you want, obviously. Do this and you can’t help but grow in character! More to come! In His grip, Pastor Chris |
