ESL Classes ESL Classes All welcome, in-person only Wednesdays, 5:30 pm The ESL Conversation Club of Westlynn Baptist Church seeks to honour our Lord Jesus by being a blessing to newcomers, refugees, and immigrants; Offering a warm and welcoming environment where they can learn and practice English. Our aim is to help our students adjust more quickly to life in their new home and to prepare them for a great future by focusing on improving their English language skills. Our lessons are topical and do not require a curriculum, so a student can join in at any time of the year. Our lessons are taught fully in English which will require some knowledge of the English language to get the most out of the class. Most of our students are Novice-High to Intermediate-Low (ACTFL) level English language speakers. A typical lesson would be the following plan: Introduction: A brief introduction of the night's topic from the Bible. (5 minutes) Grammar/New Vocabulary: A presentation of the topic's grammar or new vocabulary. (20 minutes) Practice: The bulk of every lesson is practicing grammar and new vocabulary. This is done by a variety of methods such as discussion, small group activities, block stories, songs, debates, etc. (1 hour) Idioms: A fun way to close each lesson by discussing a couple of idioms related to the night's topic. (5 minutes) You can find out more about our ESL Conversation Club by texting by joining our Telegram Group , or by using the QR code below. Those who would like to join the ESL Conversation Club are required to join the Telegram group in order to receive the latest information in schedule changes or cancellations.

Young Adults Young Adults Senior High School - Mid 30s Friday nights, 7:00 pm Click here for our weekly schedule and also to request to join group. The Young Adults meet on Fridays at the church for a time of worship and studying the Word. It is then followed by snacks and fellowship. The group focuses on learning about God, growing as disciples of Jesus and using the Bible as their foundation. On a monthly or bi-monthly basis, the group engages in studying special topics. These topics equip young adults to live out their faith in the surrounding secular/agnostic, anti-Christian world. The group also has a strong focus on community. Friendships formed within the fellowship extend outside of the Friday night group and into personal lives. We invite everyone from high school to mid-30s to join us on Fridays at 7:00 pm at Westlynn Baptist Church main sanctuary. You can contact Sam Chua or Steve Mahind if you have any questions. There's also plenty of opportunity to serve in the Young Adults ministry: Leading breakout groups Leading worship Organizing special events (hikes, potlucks, BBQs, games, movie) Organizing snacks for the Friday gathering

What does it mean to be a woman? Can a biological male be a woman or a mother? A society that lacks a biblical worldview is confused and in conflict about these questions. Transgender activists are challenging widely-held cultural, moral and religious beliefs about biological sex and gender that humanity has held for millennia. There is cultural pressure to affirm that a woman is anyone who lives and identifies as female even though they may have had a different sex at birth. Many non-Christians, feminists, and even atheists see transgender ideology as lacking any scientific basis and as undermining the rights of biological women, e.g., to exclusive access to women-only spaces, to fair competition in women’s sports, or even to be recognized as distinct from biological men. Christians are called to respect God’s design for womanhood and manhood while showing love and respect to all persons, including those who erroneously advocate for transgender ideology. God's revelation of human nature in Scripture is counter-cultural but wise. In this sermon, Pastor Sam Chua examines the Bible's countercultural view of women and motherhood: What the Bible says about how women, together with men, jointly represent the image of God, how women have been gifted with the ministry of demonstrating God’s love through motherhood and child-bearing; and finally, how women are called to spiritual warfare through a godly lifestyle and service to family and others. God stands against all oppressors and will judge individuals and cultures that try to crush women. 0:00 - Can a man be a woman? Can a woman be a father? 3:02 - 3 things that God teaches us 4:23 - 1. God’s image in women 5:54 - Equality of man and woman corrupted by sin 7:40 - Doublethink, facts vs feelings 14:14 - Speak truth in love 15:20 - 2. God’s gifts to women 16:06 - Childbearing and motherhood 19:03 - Biological constraints and exception fallacy 21:33 - Inner and outer beauty in women 26:06 - 3. God’s war for women 29:48 - Women straying after satan 31:19 - Christian women strike the devil 33:11 - Men should protect women who are physically weaker 37:27 - So, what is a woman? 38:29 - To biological males identifying as women 41:11 - To single women: disciple other people 46:16 - Closing prayer Please share your thoughts below in the COMMENTS. How is the current cultural confusion about the definition of womanhood and manhood hurting men and women? You are free to agree or disagree with us, but please be RESPECTFUL of others views. Disrespectful comments towards others may be removed. If you disagree, before posting your disagreement, please LISTEN to the ENTIRE sermon, because your objection may have already been anticipated and addressed. Speaking truthfully about sexuality or gender is now DANGEROUS.

Pastor's take on the controversy (Proverbs 31:8-9) May 15, 2022 - Pastor Sam Chua at Westlynn Baptist Church. While the medical community defines abortion as removal of product of conception before term, Pastor Sam believes that abortion should not be used as a means to end the voiceless lives of unwanted sons and daughters. The Bible tells us that we are all fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God, and that any kind of murder is immoral. So, is abortion wrong even when continuing the pregnancy endangers the mother's life? Is abortion wrong if the pregnancy is a result of rape? Is abortion wrong if the infant will be born with birth defects? What can we do to bridge both sides of the argument? #northvancouver #vancouver #westvancouver #northvan #yvr #burnaby #bc #canada #sermon #preach #abortion #controversial #babies #infants #birth Play Video Play Video 46:10 When the TRUTH is OFFENSIVE (Matthew 14:1-12) with #subtitles March 5, 2023 - It's DANGEROUS to speak the truth in our culture. George Orwell and Dr. Jordan B. Peterson have warned against the sickness of a culture that would forbid its citizens to speak the truth, or worse still, demands acquiescence to falsehood and lies. Bill C-4 may criminalize free speech and religious practice, as Christians, Muslims and civil liberties organizations have pointed out. Such legal threats suppress truthful and open discussion of key spiritual and moral questions related to gender, sexuality, LGBTQ issues, abortion, or euthanasia (now euphemistically renamed as "MAiD" or "medical assistance in dying"). While Bill C-4 purports to make "conversion therapy" illegal, many have pointed out that the law is deliberately vague and broad enough to be weaponized against politically incorrect opinions including the work of Christian leaders and counselors. Speaking the truth may be defined as a crime or as "hate speech," so that those who speak it -- are canceled. Still, God's servants have always spoken the truth, even when it cost them dearly. When the Prophet John (John the Baptist) spoke out boldly against King Herod's sexual sin, i.e., his adultery and incestuous relations, he got put in jail for his troubles and was later beheaded. For what? For speaking God's truth about sexual immorality. What does the Bible teach us about continuing to speak God's truth to our culture, even when it's dangerous? As we count the cost of speaking the truth, how can we be as courageous and bold as John the Baptist was? 0:00 Intro 0:32 Do we have free speech? 0:59 The truth threatens us 1:48 Voltaire's definition 2:20 Free speech is in doubt 2:32 Bill C-4 (conversion therapy) is dangerous 5:30 Jordan Peterson's critique of compelled speech 6:47 Who gets to define "hate speech"? 7:35 George Orwell's definition of liberty 7:48 Why the Bible is offensive to many 8:30 What if the law criminalizes Biblical truth? 13:21 The problem of a guilty conscience 17:40 The godly confront their culture's sins 18:36 Our culture has redefined sin 19:05 Why Canadians say "sorry" so much 21:07 The Canadian Gospel: peace at the expense of truth 25:25 The unvarnished truth still pulls on the human heart 31:25 Are you a slave to your passions?

Seniors' Service Seniors' Service Lynn Valley Care Centre Second Sunday of each month, 2:00 pm On the second Sunday of every month, our volunteers would hold a short service for the senior residents at Lynn Valley Care Centre . We would play music, sing and worship, give a short devotional on God's Word, and escort residents to and from the service. This is part of an initiative by the care centre where they bring volunteers in from various churches every Sunday afternoon to hold a worship service for their residents. The service runs at 2:00 to 2:30 p.m. Volunteers must arrive at 1:40 p.m. and will usually be finished at 3:00 p.m. Please speak to Janet if you're interested in helping out.

At Westlynn Baptist Church we believe “online church” is not a substitute for gathering in-person. While the church is certainly more than just a weekly gathering, it is also no less than a gathering of believers. Livestream Sundays at 10:00 am Request Livestream Request Livestream . The pattern of worship established by the New Testament for the Church, the bride of Christ, is local bodies of believers gathering together to sit under the teaching of God’s Word. To be in fellowship, to break bread together, and to devote themselves to prayer (Acts 2:42). In addition, the Greek word for church, ekklēsia, in the New Testament refers to Christian “assemblies” or “congregations” who had become followers of Christ. This is why “online church” is not a substitute for gathering in-person. Although a church is MORE than just a weekly gathering, it is also no less than a gathering. It is a gathering, an assembly of believers, an outpost, that makes visible the invisible Kingdom of God that has come and will one day spread throughout the whole earth. If you are unable to attend Westlynn Baptist Church due to illness, being out of the country for work, vacation, or for some other reason that makes you unable to be present in the sanctuary/fellowship hall at the times of worship, kindly fill out our request form to be given the livestream link. Our livestream is a tool that is meant to support those who are unable to attend through no fault of their own. It is not meant to facilitate or encourage a pattern of not gathering for worship. The new link will only be updated 30 min before the service on the day. For technical support, please email us.
