November 9, 2025 - We Stand On Guard For Thee - Pastor Shawn Hamm

This powerful message confronts us with uncomfortable truths about our nation's spiritual condition and calls us to courageous action. Drawing from Isaiah 41:10-13, we're reminded that God holds us by our right hand and promises not to abandon us even when we face opposition and discouragement. The sermon challenges us to examine where we've become passive—accepting evil as inevitable rather than standing for righteousness. We're confronted with Canada's embrace of a culture of death through abortion, medical assistance in dying, and the normalization of practices that harm the most vulnerable. The message doesn't stop at critique; it calls us to repentance as described in 2 Chronicles 7:14, where God promises to heal our land if His people humble themselves and turn from wickedness. We're reminded that change doesn't come through political figures but through the church rising in holiness and boldness. The parallel to biblical heroes like Daniel, Esther, and David shows us that speaking truth in dangerous times has always been God's call to His people. This isn't about comfort—it's about recognizing that casualness creates casualties, and our silence has consequences. The message challenges us to move beyond polite passivity and embrace the sacrificial love demonstrated by Christ, who laid down His life for us. We're called to be light in darkness, speaking life over death, and standing firm in the freedom Christ has given us.
