    Creation Tide 1: Genesis 1, A Story of Beginnings

    Join us for Mother Jen Keifer's sermon: Creation Tide 1: Genesis 1, A Story of Beginnings Creation Tide Season: One of the deeply Christ-like examples we find in the creation stories in Genesis and God's message for us to "care fo the Earth",  is in the word, "shamar". If you read the literal Hebrew mechanics, shamar (used in Gen 2:15) is the exact same word used in the famous priestly blessing: "The Lord bless you and keep [shamar] you." Translating it conceptually, it literally means to care for something protectively, the way a loving guardian keeps watch over someone. The Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew (Eastern Orthodox) proposed in 1989 that September 1st (the first day of the Orthodox Church year) should be observed as a day “of protection of the natural environment”. In 2016, Pope Francis declared 1 September an annual World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. This was expanded in Europe to be a season — Creationtide — going from September 1st until October 4th (the Feast of St Francis), and has been adopted in many churches around the world, including some in the Anglican Communion. Join us Jen takes us through Genesis chapter 1 in this insightful and beautiful message and invitation to be present with the world around you.

    Isaiah Series 12: God our Loving Father

    Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon:  Isaiah 63, 64,- God, our Loving Father This summer we look at the courage and encouraging words that God shares with us from the Prophet Isaiah when things look really rough. In this series we see in our readings how Isaiah always contrasts empire and the messiah. We know from history going back as far as we can, and even in the scripture, that humans are regularly ordering their lives around "empire". Does God work within "Empire"? Where does God meet us? Where is God's Empire and Kingdom? This week Tim shares a fascinating look at some of the closing chapters of Isaiah. From our reading from selected verses in the book of the prophet Isaiah (chapters 63 and 64) For you are our father, you, O Lord, are our father;     our Redeemer from of old is your name. When you did awesome deeds that we did not expect,     you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence. From ages past no one has heard,     no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you,     who works for those who wait for him. You meet those who gladly do right,     those who remember you in your ways. Yet, O Lord, you are our Father;     we are the clay, and you are our potter;     we are all the work of your hand. I (the Lord) was ready to be sought out by those who did not ask,     to be found by those who did not seek me. I said, ‘Here I am, here I am’,     to a nation that did not call on my name.

    Isaiah Series 11: Isaiah 52, 53 - The Servant King

    Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon:  Isaiah 52, 53 - The Servant King This summer we look at the courage and encouraging words that God shares with us from the Prophet Isaiah when things look really rough. In this series we see in our readings how Isaiah always contrasts empire and the messiah. We know from history going back as far as we can, and even in the scripture, that humans are regularly ordering their lives around "empire". Does God work within "Empire"? Where does God meet us? Where is God's Empire and Kingdom? This week Tim shares a fascinating look at one of the most beautiful passages in all of scripture, Isaiah chapters 52 and 53. Is this the single place in the Hebrew bible that Jesus most appropriated to himself? Did Jesus understand this passage to be about him, who he was and did it inform who he was and did he fulfill what it says? Profoundly encouraging and important. From our reading in the book of the prophet Isaiah (52: 13-53: 8) See, my servant shall prosper;     he shall be exalted and lifted up,     and shall be very high. Just as there were many who were astonished at him     —so marred was his appearance, beyond human semblance,     and his form beyond that of mortals— so he shall startle many nations;     kings shall shut their mouths because of him; for that which had not been told them they shall see,     and that which they had not heard they shall contemplate. Who has believed what we have heard?     And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For he grew up before him like a young plant,     and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him,     nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by others;     a man of suffering and acquainted with infirmity; and as one from whom others hide their faces     he was despised, and we held him of no account. Surely he has borne our infirmities     and carried our diseases; yet we accounted him stricken,     struck down by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions,     crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the punishment that made us whole,     and by his bruises we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray;     we have all turned to our own way, and the Lord has laid on him     the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,     yet he did not open his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter,     and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,     so he did not open his mouth. By a perversion of justice he was taken away.     Who could have imagined his future? For he was cut off from the land of the living,     stricken for the transgression of my people.

    Isaiah Series 10: I am With You

    Join us for Bs Joshua Lickter's sermon: I am With You This summer we look at the courage and encouraging words that God shares with us from the Prophet Isaiah when things look really rough. In this series we see in our readings how Isaiah always contrasts empire and the messiah. We know from history going back as far as we can, and even in the scripture, that humans are regularly ordering their lives around "empire". Does God work within "Empire"? Where does God meet us? Where is God's Empire and Kingdom? This week our guest, Josh, shares some insights into our scripture readings from Isaiah 42 and 43. How can we respond when we see some who have traded the humility of the cross of Jesus for the coercive power of the state? Even in confusion, how can we find a loving way forward towards Christ our neighbor? Some of the issues of our time are complicated, and often times we as humans prefer simple answers to complex questions. Has part of the church lost it's way? How can we go forward in the way of love? In this passage from Isaiah, in the midst of the chaos and confusion, God speaks to a remnant, a word of profound tenderness. From our reading in Isaiah 43: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;     I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;     and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,     and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God,     the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour. Do not fear, for I am with you;     I will bring your offspring from the east,     and from the west I will gather you; Josh reminds us that Jesus invites us to his table. Through the eucharist we are invited to feast on the life, the humility, the sacrifice, and the boundless love of Jesus Christ. The ultimate litmus test of any movement that claims the name of Jesus, is do they contain the very fruit of the Spirit of God; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, goodness, self control. These are the fruits that we seek for God to bring about in our own lives.

    Isaiah Series 9: The Promise

    Join us for Mother Jen Keifer's sermon: The Promise This summer we look at the courage and encouraging words that God shares with us from the Prophet Isaiah when things look really rough. In this series we see in our readings how Isaiah always contrasts empire and the messiah. We know from history going back as far as we can, and even in the scripture, that humans are regularly ordering their lives around "empire". Does God work within "Empire"? Where does God meet us? Where is God's Empire and Kingdom? In this impactful sermon, Jen offers us 3 insights into this promise: Jesus is with us on the road we do not know. The promise of God is that God goes with us, and nourishes us in every chapter of our lives, even when we feel the most vulnerable.  From our reading in Isaiah 42 I will lead the blind     by a road they do not know; by paths they have not known     I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light,     the rough places into level ground. These are the things I will do,     and I will not forsake them. and from the Gospel of John chapter 6: Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

    Isaiah Series 7: Don't be Afraid, I Hold Your Right Hand

    Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon: Don't be Afraid, I Hold Your Right Hand This summer we look at the courage and encouraging words that God shares with us from the Prophet Isaiah when things look really rough. This week Tim look's at Isaiah 41: 11-20  In today's reading, Isaiah shares.. Yes, all who are incensed against you     shall be ashamed and disgraced; those who strive against you     shall be as nothing and shall perish. You shall seek those who contend with you,     but you shall not find them; those who war against you     shall be as nothing at all. For I, the Lord your God,     hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, ‘Do not fear,     I will help you.’ Do not fear, you worm Jacob,     you insect Israel! I will help you, says the Lord;     your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel. Now, I will make of you a threshing-sledge,     sharp, new, and having teeth; you shall thresh the mountains and crush them,     and you shall make the hills like chaff. You shall winnow them and the wind shall carry them away,     and the tempest shall scatter them. Then you shall rejoice in the Lord;     in the Holy One of Israel you shall glory. When the poor and needy seek water,     and there is none,     and their tongue is parched with thirst, I the Lord will answer them,     I the God of Israel will not forsake them. I will open rivers on the bare heights,     and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water,     and the dry land springs of water. I will put in the wilderness the cedar,     the acacia, the myrtle, and the olive; I will set in the desert the cypress,     the plane and the pine together, so that all may see and know,     all may consider and understand, that the hand of the Lord has done this,     the Holy One of Israel has created it.
