Recorded sermons by Rev. Andrew Jensen BA, MDiv, of Knox United Church, Nepean, Ottawa.
Together, we explore our faith and spirituality as we seek God's vision for our lives. We approach scripture with a respectful use of modern scholarship, examining the original meaning of the words and seeking messages relevant for our 21st century lives. We learn from each other, and we share our understanding with each other.
God calls us to worship, to learn, and to share with each other and with the wider world.

Ask Andrew 5: The Source of My Views on the LGBTQ Community
"I've discovered a sense that it is very important to...speak up for God. To fight a message that encourages hatred in the name of God. Because that feels to me the most Un-Christian thing that anybody could claim."
The reading for this sermon was Galatians 3:21-29 New International Version. The blog post that accompanied the sermon can be found here.
“Ask Andrew” is an annual opportunity for members of Knox to ask questions of faith and religion. Andrew answers them in the Sunday morning service, and on the Knox Talks blog.
