    Community Sunday: Jesus Our Friend, Compassion Our Calling

    This morning was our monthly Community Sunday where we have communion together as well as have time for coffee, snacks, and fellowship after musical worship. This month, Dave offered a brief reflection on what it means for Jesus to be our friend and why that reveals that compassion for others is our calling. Please find the slide deck for this week's teaching here. Home Church Questions: 1. What stood out to you from this week's teaching? 2. When you hear Jesus say in John 15:15 that he calls us friends, what comes to mind? Does that feel natural or challenging for you? 3. In Matthew 9:36, Jesus is described as having compassion. What do you notice about the way Jesus responds to people in need? How is his compassion different from how we sometimes respond? 4. Sunday’s reflection suggested that friendship with Jesus shapes our hearts over time. Have you experienced your perspective or reactions changing as you grow in faith? What has influenced that change? 5. Imagine walking with Jesus and realizing he has stopped to care for someone. What might “keeping walking” look like in your life? What might it look like to “turn back and join him”? 6. Where in your daily life might Jesus be inviting you to notice someone right now (eg, work, neighbourhood, church, family, etc.) 7. What is one small, practical way you could respond with compassion this week? 8. Pray with and for one another, our church community, and our world. Be in touch. Send us a text here.

    Lectio Divina: Psalms 52

    Psalms 52 (NIV) Why do you boast of evil, you mighty hero?     Why do you boast all day long,     you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God? You who practice deceit,     your tongue plots destruction;     it is like a sharpened razor. You love evil rather than good,     falsehood rather than speaking the truth. You love every harmful word,     you deceitful tongue! Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin:     He will snatch you up and pluck you from your tent;     he will uproot you from the land of the living. The righteous will see and fear;     they will laugh at you, saying, “Here now is the man     who did not make God his stronghold but trusted in his great wealth     and grew strong by destroying others!” But I am like an olive tree     flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God’s unfailing love     for ever and ever. For what you have done I will always praise you     in the presence of your faithful people. And I will hope in your name,     for your name is good. Be in touch. Send us a text here.

    Honest Doubt

    Today, Dave continues our series on what it means to be resurrection people with a teaching on Thomas and his doubt. Jesus never rebukes Thomas for his doubt but uses it was a way to invite us all in to the community of faith. Please find the slide deck for this week's teaching here. Home Church Questions: 1. What stood out to you from this week's teaching? 2. Read John 20:24-31 (preferably in multiple translations). What stands out to you from this passage? 3. How would you describe Thomas based on this story? 4. What do you notice about how Jesus responds to Thomas? 5. Thomas says, “Unless I see… I will not believe." What do you think is underneath this statement—intellect, emotion, past disappointment, something else? 6. Thomas waited a full week before seeing Jesus. What might God be doing in seasons of waiting? 7. Have you ever had a season of doubt or uncertainty in your faith? What did that look like for you? 8. What kinds of doubts are hardest to talk about in church settings? Why? 9. How can we, as a group, create a safer space for honest faith conversations?  10. Pray with and for one another, our church community, and our world. Be in touch. Send us a text here.

    Lectio Divina: Psalms 15

    Psalms 15 (NIV) Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent?     Who may live on your holy mountain? The one whose walk is blameless,     who does what is righteous,     who speaks the truth from their heart; whose tongue utters no slander,     who does no wrong to a neighbour,     and casts no slur on others; who despises a vile person     but honours those who fear the Lord; who keeps an oath even when it hurts,     and does not change their mind; who lends money to the poor without interest;     who does not accept a bribe against the innocent. Whoever does these things     will never be shaken. Be in touch. Send us a text here. Instagram: @theharbournewmarket Website: theharbournewmarket.ca Email: david@theharbournewmarket.ca

    Who Is My Neighbour?

    This week, we welcome Paul Tuck from Dismas Fellowship Network as he shares on the topic of loving our neighbour. In Luke 10, Christ is asked "Who is my neighbour?" and he replies with the parable of the Good Samaritan. How can this inform how we treat those around us? Please find the slide deck for this week's teaching here. Home Church Questions: 1. What stood out to you from this week's teaching? 2. When you hear the word “neighbour”, what comes to mind? 3. Read Luke 10:25-37 (preferably in multiple translations). What stands out to you from this passage? 4. Who in the story stands out to you most: the wounded man, the religious leaders, or the Samaritan? Why? 5. The expert in the law asks, “Who is my neighbour?” Why does he ask this? How does Jesus reshape that question? 6. When have you experienced someone being a “Good Samaritan” to you? 7. Is there a situation right now where you feel like the priest or Levite—aware of a need but hesitant to engage? 8. What practical barriers keep us from loving our neighbour well (eg, time, fear, assumptions, busyness)? 9. A question asked to Paul after the service… “When is enough enough? Is there a limit to compassionate care when you might feel taken advantage of?" 10. Pray with and for one another, our church community, and our world. Be in touch. Send us a text here.

    Lectio Divina: John 14:1-7

    John 14:1-7 (NIV) “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.” Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” Be in touch. Send us a text here.

    The Road of Confusion

    This morning, Dave Blow starts us into a new series looking at what it means to be resurrection people. What do we do know that Christ has risen and death is defeated? Please find the slide deck for this week's teaching here. Home Church Questions: 1. What stood out to you from this week's teaching? 2. Describe a time when something made sense only in hindsight. What changed your perspective? 3. Read Luke 24:13-35 (preferably in multiple translations). What stands out to you from this passage? What emotions do you notice in the two disciples? What surprises you about how Jesus interacts with them? 4. The disciples say, “We had hoped…”. What does that reveal about their expectations of Jesus? 5. Why do you think they were kept from recognizing Jesus at first? What might this teach us about how God works in our lives? 6. Jesus opens the scriptures to them before revealing himself. Why is this significant? What does it say about how we come to understand Jesus? 7. Have you experienced a “we had hoped” moment in your life? What did that season feel like? 8. Can you think of a time when you later realized God was present… but you didn’t see it at the time? What does this story teach us about doubt, confusion, or disappointment in faith? 9. Where might Jesus be walking with you right now—even if you don’t fully recognize him? 10. Pray with and for one another, our church community, and our world. Be in touch. Send us a text here.

    Lectio Divina: 1 Corinthians 15:51-58

    1 Corinthians 15:51-58 (NIV) Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” “Where, O death, is your victory?     Where, O death, is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labour in the Lord is not in vain. Be in touch. Send us a text here.
