The Narthex and a Live Studio Audience!

In this special episode, the guys answer your questions with a live studio (sanctuary) audience. This episode is a celebration of the Narthex releasing 100+ episodes! From AI to Personal Passions join the conversation and keep it going. What do you think?

The Christian Mission

Why does God deserve our worship? What was going on with the Ancient Egyptians and their suspiciously selective historical records? And perhaps most importantly: did the verb “to hound” exist before the dog breed, or did the dogs earn the reputation first? Join Josh, Chris, and Kevin in this penultimate episode of the season as they unpack Sunday’s sermon on Psalm 66, wander into a few unexpected rabbit trails, and somehow still manage to keep the conversation centered on faith, worship, and the goodness of God. As always, keep the conversations about life and faith going with the people around you.

Held and Heard

Join the conversation with Kevin, Joshua, and Chris as they discuss Kevin's sermon from Sunday on Psalm 31. How can we accept God's sovereign rule and pray for things to change? How do we trust in God's plan while asking for the way that plan is working out in our lives to be different? These are the sorts of questions we are asking in the Narthex this week. As always, keep the conversations about life and faith going wherever you are.

GEMS Sunday: Walking on Water

Join Kevin and Josh and they discuss Chris' "GEMS Sunday" Sermon on Matthew 14:22-33. As always, keep these conversations of faith and life going with the people in your life.

Celebrating 40 Years and 100 Episodes!

Join Chris, Josh, and Kevin as they celebrate both the 40th Birthday of Langley Immanuel CRC and the 100th Episode of Welcome to the Narthex! With conversations focused on 1st John, Bachelor Parties, and Anti-Christs, this is must listen content! As always, please continue to keep these conversations of faith going with the people around you.

Community of Grace: Raised Together for Mission

This week Kevin has been abducted by denominational agents to Burlington, Ontario - leaving Chris and Josh to figure it out for themselves. Listen into the conversation on Sunday's sermon from Colossians 4:7-18, the last in our Living Raised series, and keep it going in your small groups and friend groups.

Good Friday and Easter Sunday

Join Joshua, Kevin, and Chris as they discuss the sermons from our Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday services. On Friday, Chris preached on Mark 14:32-36, looking at how Jesus willingly offered himself as a sacrifice for sin. On Sunday, Kevin preached on Mark 16:1-8, looking at how Jesus' resurrection confronts us, unsettles us, defines us, and demands a response from us. As always, keep the conversations going with your friends and coworkers.

The Remedy for Sin | Envy

We're Back! Spring Break is over, and Josh, Chris and Kevin discuss the sermon from Sunday on the Vice of Envy. As we enter Holy Week, we finish this sermon series and look ahead to Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday together. As we are always encouraged, keep these conversations going with the people around you.

The Remedy to Sin | Vainglory (Lent 2026)

Everyone is back! All three of the guys are together again to discuss the sermon from Sunday on the Vice of Vainglory preached by Chris. Bless the Lord for his work among us! As we are always encouraged, keep these conversations going with the people around you.

The Remedy to Sin | Acedia (Lent 2026)

Join Chris and Kevin as they discuss Steve Berkenpas' sermon on the vice of Acedia - sometimes reduced to Sloth. How do we distract ourselves from what God is calling us to do? Also, Josh wasn't here, so we did our best. As always, continue these conversations with your friends, families, and care groups.
