We are beginning our summer series, Letters to the church, journeying through the Lectionary Epistle readings, along the way we will journey through Galatians, Colossians, Hebrews and a brief stop in Philemon. This week, we begin by exploring why Paul is so concerned about the Gentiles’ genitals, our forefathers’ foreskins, and does salvation hinges on whether we have skin in the game. If you are confused about why this is the case, I encourage you to read Galatians 1-3 in advance of Sunday.

This Sunday is known as “Trinity Sunday.” Now that the Holy Spirit has been poured out at Pentecost, God has been revealed as One God in Three Persons.

This Sunday is the Feast of Pentecost - a day we remember how powerfully the Holy Spirit was "poured out" on the early church. But Pentecost is much more than a commemoration - it's an invitation! This Sunday, we'll learn about one of the most enduring prayers of the church, "Come, Holy Spirit," and explore how we might join with this prayer in our lives as individuals, families, and a church. To help us respond post-sermon, we'll hear an ancient song, and we'll also make room for people to be a...

This Sunday, we will continue our journey through this strange book by diving into Revelation 5, where we will explore the meaning of the strange sealed scroll, we will look at the significance of the tears of the prophet, and wrestle with whether we should see Jesus as a conquering lion or slain lamb.

Join us this Sunday! As we enter the third week of Advent, our attention shifts from the final coming of Christ to his presence in our life here and now and in our readings for this Sunday, we see that Christ's presence invites two seemingly contradicting responses: Rejoicing and repenting.

We'll wrestle with what these two postures mean, and how they are meant to be lived ...

This week marks the penultimate Sunday in the Lectionary cycle, as the Christian year draws to a close. Our scripture readings turn our focus toward the ultimate questions of life: Heaven, Hell, Death, and Judgment. Yet, these texts are not merely concerned with the fate of the world or the mysteries of the afterlife. Rather, they are intended to equip us for the present—helping us navigate life in the "now" and persevere through hardship with hope and endurance. As we reflect on Hebrews 10:31-3...

In churches across Canada and in many parts of the world, this Sunday will be observed as "Remembrance Sunday." This is not a glorification of war. On the contrary, on Remembrance Sunday we grieve the casualties of war, we pray for all those currently affected by war, and we pray that the Prince of Peace will put an end to war forever. The November observances of All Saints', All Souls', and Remembran...

Grady will be giving some “real tim...
