Beyond the Sermon with Hope Oakville

What does Canada’s new Bill C-9 mean for the church? In this episode, Robbie Symons is joined by legal experts Deina Warren and Joel Kissack to unpack this new legislation, clarify what it does and does not mean, and discuss what it could mean for Christians. Together, they address common concerns about hate speech, explain the legal threshold for prosecution, and encourage believers to respond with wisdom, prayer, and an unwavering commitment to faithfully proclaim the gospel.

Why do so many Christians drift into sin, discouragement, or spiritual complacency? In this episode, Pastor Robbie, Pastor Brandon and guest Pastor Chris Dias discuss the biblical call to watchfulness. Together, they unpack why watchfulness is essential for every believer, practical ways to cultivate it through daily time with God, confession, accountability, and repentance, and how a life of watchfulness prepares us for the return of Jesus Christ.

Why can it be so difficult to pray? We’ve been given this direct line to God yet we struggle to talk to him. Pastor Robbie, Pastor Brandon and guest Pastor Jason Matta sit down to talk about the excuses we may make, why we need to pray, and what God happens when we pray!

Do you struggle to read your bible? You’re not alone. In this Season 2 premiere, Pastor Robbie Symons and Pastor Brandon Beckman talk honestly about why it’s hard, why it matters, and how to build a life firmly rooted in God’s Word.

In this Season 1 final episode of Beyond the Sermon, we explore what it truly means to live a Life on Mission—both right where you are and around the world. Inspired by our current sermon series, we unpack the difference between everyday missional living and the specific call to cross-cultural missions.

Greg and Dan dive into real-life, practical ways people are using their unique gifts to live missionally—whether through business as mission, mentoring, or serving in local communities. They also talk honestly about the cost of going and sending, and remind us that while not everyone is called to be a missionary, every believer is called to live life on mission—right where they are.
