The Best Gift

Contributed by Garry Code on Nov 29, 2001

There is no better gift

Christmas for me as a Kid was great; even though as a family things were tight, there always seemed to be lots of presents plus stacks of food and drink. Probably the best present I ever receive and still remember, was when I got a three wheeled bike, actually tricycle from my nanna. Boy was that ...read more

2009 Father’s Day Sermon

(Slide 1) As I begin, I have to ask if anyone watched the end of last week’s NASCAR race. I think that there is a life illustration in that spectacular finish!

Gifts Unlimited Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

Paul does not give us a listing of the gifts that is exhaustive. His list is only suggestive. Every time he writes of the gifts he mentions new ones. He is not dealing with a fixed number because he knows the Holy Spirit well enough to know that you cannot catch him in a list and limit him.

A college professor of debate thought it would be well for him to select some outstanding speaker and learn everything he could about his life, his speeches, and his writings. He chose Patrick Henry as his ideal. It was not long before the subject of Patrick Henry was becoming obnoxious to those ...read more

Everyone Is Gifted Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Feb 15, 2017

Our Spiritual Gifts are meant to honour God and bring glory to Him. Our gifts are not meant to be used selfishly but for the benefit of others. We do not earn our gifts, they are given to us because of God’s Mercy and Grace and Love.

As you know our preaching theme this year is Discovering your Destiny, and recently we have been thinking about what it means to be Chosen by God, Loved by God and Gifted by God. Dictionary.com defines a gift in three ways: 1. Something given voluntarily without payment in return, as to show ...read more

The Gift Of Silence

Contributed by Fr. Damien Evangelista on Apr 2, 2020

The world doesn't value silence, but making time to be silent is crucial for psychological and spiritual health.

Silence is essential for growth in the spiritual life. For instance, since God is omnipotent, we'd expect that he'd speak to Elijah through a strong driving wind or an earthquake as found in our first reading (1 Kg 18, 15-45). Instead, we find that Elijah comes out of hiding from the ...read more

Spiritual Gifts

What are your gifts?

I’d like to share with you how this sermon came about. A few of us had been talking about the Gifts of The Spirit.

Do you want to glorify God? No, I mean it, really in your heart, is that one of, if not your highest priority? Do you know one of the best ways to do it?

How many of you have ever gotten a Christmas gift, and that gift has never been used, it has been on your shelf, maybe even still in the box for years. That is poor stewardship, at least re-gift it to someone else. Do you want to glorify God? No, I mean it, really in your heart, is that one of, if ...read more

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Mar 17, 2023

The confusion of tongues God visited on his people at the tower of Babel is reversed at Pentecost.

I have to begin this sermon with a confession. I have a weakness for puns. One or two of you may have noticed it, and as faults go it’s not as bad as some. But this week, I have to admit, I gave into temptation. The title of this sermon is a pun. Because I’m not going to talk about what most ...read more
