We continue our series exploring the topic of housing in the city by looking at the Biblical theme of land. By tracing the theme through the Bible in 7 acts, we learn how Jesus fulfills the story of the land and invites us to new identities and orientation towards land. Recorded April 28, 2024.

This week we began a new series exploring how we live in the city as followers of Jesus during the current housing crisis. In this introduction, we explore some of the personal contours of the housing story in Canada, and receive the invitations to listen to and tell our stories, center on the story of Jesus and discern where the Spirit is leading us. Recorded April 21, 2024.

As we close our series in the gospel of John and move towards the summer season, we take a last look at Jesus around the table. While in the gospel of John, the table is portrayed as a classroom, in the gospel of Mark the table is a practice, with the vision of us extending it to our friends, family and neighbours. Recorded April 14, 2024.

As we end our series in the gospel of John, we turn our eyes to the commissioning of Jesus’ disciples in John 20. Although given 2000 years ago, Jesus’ promise to his disciples of another Advocate who brings peace is important and timely in our age of anxiety. Recorded April 7, 2024.

As we celebrate Easter Sunday, we turn to the Gospel of John's account of the resurrection of Jesus where he emphasizes three things: the evidence that invites us to stoop, the exhortation that invites us to see, and the invitation to become an endorsement of the resurrection as the people of God. Recorded March 31, 2024.

Jesus ends his longest recorded prayer with a surprise: out of all the things he could have prayed for his disciples of all time, he prays for unity. This week we end our series in the Upper Room with Jesus by looking at what unity looks like, how we can pursue it, and some examples of how to be united. Recorded March 24, 2023.
