Losing Our Life to Find It

This Sunday we continue on in Matthew 10, as Jesus prepares his disciples for what they can expect as his representatives in the world. Jesus’ words this week are challenging, difficult, and jarring. How should we read them? Read Matthew 10:34-42 to prepare. Watch the full service here: https://youtube.com/live/Dreof1cvYlg

His Eye is on the Sparrow

In Matthew 10, Jesus calls his apostles to himself and then sends them out with the authority to carry out his work in Israel. But they don’t know what they’re signing up for! In our Gospel reading this week, the Lord begins to prepare them for what discipleship to Jesus will look like. Working through Matthew 10:16-33, this Sunday we’ll reflect on the Commission of Discipleship, the Cost of Discipleship, the Course of Discipleship, and finally the Comfort of Discipleship. Looking forward to seeing you this weekend! You can view the full service here: https://youtube.com/live/RigJDxH8Gv0

A Special Kind of Special

As we witness baby Olivia being baptized into the covenant family of God, the text for the sermon is Exodus 19:1--8. God brings a motley clan of persons recently freed from slavery in Egypt to himself at Mount Sinai and makes them his people, in fulfillment of his covenant promise to Abraham. God calls them to listen to his voice and be his special possession, blessed to be a blessing, reflecting his character into the world as a light to all the nations. We'll consider how despite things going disastrously wrong after this good beginning, God brings forth from his prototype people, the most special person of all. In Him God brings us to himself as his new people from every nation, tribe, language, and people group. We'll look at what it means that we are God's special possession today--not special as the world defines it, but a special kind of special that is all gift. A gift that grows the more we give it away.

Dinner with Sinners

We will mark the beginning of the long stretch of “Time after Pentecost,” wherein the Church calls us to the slow and steady growth in Christ by the grace of the Holy Spirit. This spiritual growth is symbolized by the colour green. We will look at the calling of Matthew from the 9th chapter of his Gospel. For a rabbi to call a tax collector to be his disciple is like a street hockey captain choosing the worst player to be his first pick. But we will see that choosing people like Matthew (and us!) is the very reason Jesus came. Come and see! You can view the full service here: https://youtube.com/live/4xEhcAop0Os

In the Beginning Was Love

Trinity Sunday can sound like a theology exam, but at its heart it's the most personal truth in the universe: that before anything was made, God was already love. He still is and that love flows out to us. Join us this Sunday as we find out what difference that makes. Watch the full service here: https://youtube.com/live/UP5BNnGV4mI

Pentecost: From Chaos to Order

After Easter and Christmas, the Day of Pentecost is the most important Holy Day of the Christian Year. Without the Holy Spirit, nothing that Christ has accomplished would be available to us. The Spirit takes what is of Jesus, and delivers it to us. In our sermon this week, we will look at how each reading shows how the Holy Spirit brings order to all things. He brings order to creation, to the nations, to the Church, and to our souls. You can view the full service here: https://youtube.com/live/JJWJHw0jZoM

The Coronation of Jesus

Along with celebrating the baptisms of Oscar and Lucy, we will celebrate the Feast of the Ascension of Our Lord. In the creed, we confess that Jesus ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. What does it mean that Jesus “ascended into heaven”? Where and what is heaven? Where did he go? And what does it mean that he “sat down at the right hand of the Father?” Was he tired? Does God the Father even have hands? The answers to these child-like but excellent questions turn out to have huge ramifications for our faith and life in Jesus. Come and see!

Paul before the Areopagus

In Acts 17, Paul enters Athens, a city filled with idols, competing beliefs, and rival philosophies, and from within that culture points people toward the God they do not yet know. Rather than condemning from a distance, he listens, engages, and speaks with both courage and gentleness. This Sunday, Phil will explore Paul’s model for evangelism and invite us to consider how we might faithfully witness to Christ in our own cultural moment.
