This week’s carol is one of the most popular that we sing during the Christmas season. It came about by accident. The words were written in 1816 by Franz Xaver Gruber . The organ in the Church of St. Nicholas in Oberndorf, Austria was broken, so he was asked to put a melody to a Read more
Joy to the World! We sing this carol every Christmas without stopping to consider the words. Christ’s birth is worth celebrating! Realizing this truth gives us reason to rejoice, but the trials of everyday life prevent us from preparing a place for him in our hearts. This week’s message takes a look at Isaiah 52 Read more
John 4:46:54 takes us back to Cana where Jesus performs his second sign. There is no formula we can use to get the answers to prayers we are seeking. Faith isn’t something we generate, but a gift we receive. There’s no right or wrong way to pray and all Jesus asks is that we come Read more
Pastor Wendy shared the tenth message in our John series last Sunday. (Yes, the tenth, and we’re only in chapter 4!) After Jesus finished his long conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well, the disciples return with some food and Jesus began to teach: Jesus’ mission is to win the lost. Jesus’ mission is Read more
We’ve reached one of my favourite passages in John: the story of the woman at the well. Last Sunday we took a careful look at the dialogue between Jesus and the Samaritan woman and learned just what it means to be people who worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking Read more
We interrupt your regularly scheduled sermon to bring you this important message … As you know, we’ve been reading through the Gospel of John together. I was supposed to speak on the woman at the well this morning. God changed my mind. After a lot of prayer, thought, and converging circumstances, I decided to shift Read more
I’ll start this message blurb the way the message ended. What’s the nicest thing you could ever imagine someone doing to you? Seriously, give that question a moment to sink in. Now, go and bless someone else in the same way without sharing your good deed with others. Sometimes we miss the simple things in Read more
I feel like this is the most important message I’ve ever had to preach here. If you know me very well, you might expect me to try to find an angle or an odd way of looking at a verse that is so overly familiar. Not this time. John 3:16 deserves its fame. Click the Read more
When you hear the phrase, “religious zealot”, what comes to mind? Street-corner preachers? Televangelists? Terrorists? For Jesus, zeal was a good thing. He even added a political zealot to his cast of disciples! (Although Jesus radically redefined where that zeal was to be placed and how it should be enacted.) In the second half of Read more
Pop quiz. Put yourself in the shoes of the Messiah. You’re God the Father’s specially anointed person who will announce the arrival of the Kingdom of God and die for the sins of the world. What’s the first big miracle you would perform? Cure world hunger? Supernaturally transform all weaponry into farming equipment? Walk into Read more
