When We Love God Most, We Love Best

The words of Jesus can sometimes surprise us, especially when he calls us to examine what holds our deepest loyalty and love. Yet beneath these difficult teachings is an invitation to discover the freedom that comes from placing God at the center of our lives. When we love God most, we find that we are able to love everyone else more deeply. Watch the video HERE (sermon starts at 34:10) Read the sermon HERE Connect with Church of Our Saviour HERE

Time Teaches

Psalm 19 tells us that “one day tells its tale to another,” which is a beautiful way of saying we are part of an unfolding story. In that story, there are joyful days and sad days, times of celebration and times of devastation. In all times, God is there to teach us what we most need to learn. With a humble spirit, we can be open to what God has for us each day, trusting that we are heading towards resurrection and that our story has a happy ending. Watch the video HERE.

It IS Your Job

When Jesus looks at the crowds and tells his disciples "the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few," he doesn't form a committee or take a vote, he just sends people, even ones who couldn't stand each other. The good news is that the call doesn't wait for us to get it right... it shows up again every day, what we are asked to do is answer it. Watch the video HERE. Read the sermon HERE.

Meditation: Praying Oneness

Prayer can help us deepen our experience of our oneness with God and with all of creation. While intercessory prayer and petitionary prayer are important and have their place, the most basic form of prayer is just being with God. Meditative prayer is a simple and accessible way for people to connect with God who is already within them, and through God, connect with other people as well. Watch the video HERE.

“You Can’t See the Dirt in Me”

Jesus calls sinners to follow him because this is what God does. God sees past our sin and sees how capable we are of love and goodness. This is the mercy of God in action. Having faith means trusting in that mercy and seeing ourselves the way God sees us. Saintliness is not about perfection but about saying yes and trusting that God will bring forth the best in us as we follow Christ.

Practice Oneness

The Holy Spirit makes us one with God, other people, and the whole of creation. Awareness of that unity is a gift, but there are things we can do to open ourselves to experiencing that gift more fully. Serving other people and connecting with the natural world are two ways we can easily do this. Both remind us that we are one with the people and the world around us. Watch the video HERE.

The Trinity: What Difference Does It Make?

On Trinity Sunday, we explore one of Christianity’s deepest mysteries by asking a simple question: What difference does it make? Rather than trying to explain the Trinity, we discover how the church came to understand God as Creator, Christ, and Spirit. If God’s deepest nature is relationship and love, what might that mean for how we live with one another? At the heart of the Trinity is an invitation to live more deeply into relationship, compassion, and communion.

Spirit of Unity

The Holy Spirit makes us one with God and each other, giving us a unity that runs deeper than feelings or our rational minds. Many mystics and others with profound experiences of God down through the centuries have given voice to our oneness in the Spirit. This is an important witness we Christians can offer a world which is so divided and polarized. Rather than beginning with separation and trying to bridge the chasm, we should begin with our fundamental unity and move from there. Watch te video HERE. Connect with Church of Our Saviour HERE
