OUR MISSION: To love God and people passionately; to lead people to Christ; To equip them for His purpose and mobilize them for His service (Matthew 22:37-39; 28:19). OUR LEAD PASTORS: LARRY & CONNIE HASMATALI Larry is a respected and gifted minister of the gospel holding two leadership positions within the Church of God. In 1996, he became the lead pastor of the COG-MJ. In 2012, he was also appointed as Administrative Bishop for the Church of God in Western Canada. He serves in both of these roles with great devotion and passion for leadership development and church growth. Larry and his wife, Connie, have made their home in Moose Jaw since 1986. They have a son, Brandon, and a daughter, Maddison, who are living and working in Saskatoon and Edmonton. *"Since COG-MJ began with a radio program back in 1943, it has been marked by generosity, innovation, vision and empowerment. We're grateful for those who went before us so that we could be where we are today. We see a church full of people who generously give themselves to be innovative in proclaiming the hope of the gospel with a vision that is far beyond what we alone can accomplish. It’s a vision that can only be brought about by God Himself as He empowers each of us by His Spirit to serve the people in our community. We believe the best years are still yet to come and we hope you will journey forward with us as we follow Christ’s lead."* - Pastor Larry

Building Walls, Breaking Relationships

2026/11/01

A beautiful building does not automatically create a healthy church. God calls us to build more than walls—He calls us to build relationships, care for hurting people, and demonstrate His love. Listen in as Pastor Larry looks at Nehemiah's leadership and learn why the people within our church must never become secondary to the work we are trying to accomplish. As we grow, reach families, and expand ministry, we must keep our hearts focused on what matters most. Discover how listening, compassion, humility, and generosity can help us build a stronger church that reflects the heart of Jesus.

How to Push Through Opposition

2026/10/25

When you step out in faith, not everyone will understand your vision. Sometimes the criticism comes from others, and sometimes the loudest voice of discouragement comes from within. In Nehemiah 4, Sanballat and Tobiah mocked the people rebuilding Jerusalem's walls. But the builders refused to let ridicule have the final word. They kept working with all their heart. Listen in as Pastor Larry challenges us to remain focused on God's calling without allowing fear, criticism, or other people's opinions to derail our purpose. Learn the importance of listening wisely, staying humble, and refusing to let discouragement define your future. Don't let the voices of opposition drown out your trust in God. Keep building what matters.

Better Together

2026/10/18

God doesn't ask everyone to do everything; He asks everyone to do something! In Nehemiah 3, we discover how ordinary people with different gifts and abilities came together to rebuild Jerusalem's walls. From priests and merchants to families and community leaders, everyone had a role to play. The same is true for the church today. Whether you serve in a visible ministry or work quietly behind the scenes, your contribution matters. Listen in and discover how God can use your gifts, talents, time, and willingness to serve to accomplish something greater than any of us could achieve alone. We're stronger when we build together!

The Practice of Thanksgiving

2026/10/11

Thanksgiving is more than a meal or a holiday—it is a way of living. Listen in as Pastor Larry unpacks what it means to practice gratitude in every season, remembering God’s faithfulness even when circumstances are difficult. Through 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, we are challenged to rejoice, pray, and give thanks in all circumstances.

Perspectives on Pain

2026/10/04

Pain and suffering will come to all of us, and when it does it has the capacity to destabilize our faith. Thankfully, the Scriptures offer profound insights that can help us glean perspective amidst our pain. Listen in as Briercrest College President Dr. Michael Pawelke shares personal insights and perspectives on pain.

See it Before You Build it

2026/09/27

Nehemiah 2 reminds us that God-given vision leads to action. Nehemiah saw the need, shared the vision, inspired others, and trusted that “The God of heaven Himself will prosper us.” Listen in and allow this powerful message by Pastor Larry challenge you to discover your part in what God is building and to step forward in faith. The question isn’t simply, “What is the church going to do?” but, “What has God equipped me to do?”

When Dark Clouds Settle

2026/09/20

We tend to reserve "grief" for funerals — but Scripture gives us a much wider language for pain. Listen in as Cher Dombowsky explores biblical lament: what it is, why God invites us to bring him our honest sorrow — from the deepest losses to the everyday disappointments — and how lament leads us, not away from God, but straight into deeper trust.

Don't Waste the Wait

2026/09/13

Waiting on God doesn’t mean doing nothing. In Nehemiah 2, we discover how God can use seasons of waiting to prepare us for what comes next. Listen in and learn how to trust God’s timing, remain faithful in the present, prepare through prayer, and recognize when it’s time to step through the door God opens.

The Work and Aim of Prayer

2026/09/06

Oswald Chambers wrote, “Prayer is the greater work.” Prayer is not simply preparatory, and it’s certainly not impractical. This week, we’re going to hold the magnifying glass over the call to prayer that arose last week by listening to Jesus instruction on prayer. Jesus presumes that his followers will be pray-ers. He also teaches us the way in which we should pray. Listen in as Adam Driscoll, Director of Discipleship at Cornerstone Christian School, helps us examine Jesus’ teaching about the work and aim of prayer.

It Begins with a Burden

2026/08/30

Before Nehemiah rebuilt Jerusalem’s walls, God first placed a burden on his heart. In this kick-off message from Nehemiah 1, listen in as Pastor Larry invites us to discover how God often begins significant works not with resources or a strategy, but with a burden that we cannot ignore. Learn how God calls us to see what others overlook, feel what moves His heart, and respond through prayer.

The King who Gave Everything

2026/08/23

Jesus didn't come simply to teach us how to live—He came to give His life for us. In this powerful message from Mark 15–16, listen in as Pastor Larry helps us see the King who suffered for us, gave His life for our salvation, and rose again to give us hope. The cross reveals His love, and the empty tomb reveals His victory. Because Jesus lives, failure doesn't have to be final, and your story isn't over.

A Better Rhythm

2026/08/16

God has designed us for a 6+1 rhythm. We’ve instead accepted an unsustainable rhythm of life. Jesus offers a better rhythm. Not of rules, but of work, rest, delight and ultimately wholeness. Listen in as AJ Crocker, Executive Director of Association of Christian Schools International, brings us a profoundly insightful and practical message we can apply to our lives today.

The Cost of Following Jesus

2026/08/09

Many people admire Jesus—but admiration isn't the same as discipleship. In this message from Mark 8:27–36, listen in and discover what Jesus really meant when He said, "Take up your cross and follow Me." Learn why following Christ requires surrender, daily commitment, and an eternal perspective.

2026/08/02

Can your faith stop Jesus? In this message from Mark 7 and Mark 10, discover two unlikely people—a desperate mother and a blind beggar—whose persistent faith captured the attention of Christ.

If you've been praying for a loved one or waiting on God to answer, this message will encourage you to keep believing.
