Immanuel Truro: Sermons

How Jesus Says We Should Do Missions Work | Rev. Michael Fredericks

Jesus briefed a large group of his disciples before he sent them off on a mission trip, and then debriefed with them when they got back. The principles Jesus instilled them are still true for every Christian on mission today. Rev. Michael Fredericks Immanuel Baptist Church, Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada June 7, 2026 The Gospel According to Luke part 28 Luke 10:1-20

Christians, Stop Fighting With Each Other! | Rev. Michael Fredericks

Does a watching world know we are Christians by our love for one another? An interesting conversation between John and Jesus reminds us that believers of different "tribes" should compete less and cooperate more. Rev. Michael Fredericks Immanuel Baptist Church, Truro, NS, Canada May 31, 2026 Gospel According to Luke Part 27: Loving Across The Lines

A Theology of Mental Health | Rev. Chad Clements

What does the Bible say about mental health and mental illness? In this message, we explore a Christian theology of mental health through the lenses of creation, fall, and redemption. Looking at the stories of Elijah, Heman, and the ministry of Jesus, we discover that mental illness is not a sign of weak faith or spiritual failure. Instead, Scripture reminds us that every person bears the image of God and has inherent dignity, even in seasons of darkness, depression, anxiety, or emotional struggle. This sermon also challenges the church to break stigma, foster belonging, and provide compassionate, holistic care through prayer, community, counseling, and practical support. “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” — Matthew 5:3 Rev. Chad Clements May 24, 2026 Immanuel Baptist Church, Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada

What Will Hell and Heaven Be Like? | Rev. Michael Fredericks

After Christ returns and judges the world, everyone will enter into their final state - the destruction of Hell or eternal life in the New Heaven / New Earth. Pastor Michael explores Revelation 20-22 as the starting point to describe the world to come, and wades into the conversation on whether the Biblical evidence points us toward a Hell the results in annihilation or is a state of eternal conscious torment. And what will be so great about Heaven anyway? And, perhaps most importantly - how we do make sure our names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life and we're headed in the right direction? Rev. Michael Fredericks Immanuel Baptist Church, Truro, NS, Canada May 17, 2026 What Christians Believe Part 15: The World to Come Revelation 20, 21, 22 #annihilationism #traditionalism #conditionalimmortality #newjerusalem #secondcoming #judgment #eternity #gehenna #greatwhitethrone #annihilation #rethinkinghell

The Second Coming of Christ | Rev. Michael Fredericks

What's going to happen when Jesus comes back? This message explores the two main future events before the final states - the resurrection and the judgment of every human who's ever lived. Should we be watching the skies and looking for the signs of his return? How do we think theologically about the reality of a God who judges? Rev. Michael Fredericks Immanuel Baptist Church, Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada May 10, 2026 What Christians Believe part 14: Last Things - Resurrection and Judgment #eschatology #secondcomingofchrist #sermon #rapture #greatwhitethrone #bema
