Character Study Of Hosea Series

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 23, 2025

Hosea’s life was a living demonstration of God’s love, mercy, and justice. His marriage to Gomer was a painful but powerful message about Israel’s spiritual unfaithfulness and God’s relentless pursuit of His people.

Legalism Is Sin & Slavery (Galatians 2)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 17, 2024

Are we under law or faith? Is circumcision in the flesh still necessary? Let's find out in Galatians 2.

Paul was directly taught by the resurrected Jesus, but was not a rebel. He cooperated with the Apostles before him. Was the commandment to be circumcised still valid in the flesh, that is, in the letter of the law? Is there a spiritual application of the law of circumcision? Are works of the law ...read more

Worthy Is The Lamb! (Revelation 5)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 8, 2024

The Lord Jesus Christ has all things and events under His Divine and Sovereign control. He has the final word on how everything will conclude. No amount of evil on the world's part will stop Him from His mission to "make all things new".

I sometimes think that when we study the book of Revelation, we tend to focus upon the impending judgments of the wicked and the horrendous consequences that follow. While God's wrath is certainly a major theme of the book, we must remember that the book of Revelation is also a book of ...read more

Maundy Thursday Reflection Series

Contributed by John Saynor on Mar 28, 2024

We all want to be remembered don’t we? Look at the memorials on the walls…people who would be long forgotten whom the parishioners at the time didn’t want them to be forgotten. There is a memorial right here for a rector who was here in 1830!

Phyllis and Doug Weir were parishioners of mine in the parish where I served my curacy in Peterborough, Ontario . They would often have me over to their home for dinner and on one such occasion, Phyllis brought this out – a Royal Doulton figurine of an old man who was selling balloons – and gave ...read more

Seen And Unseen Sin And Good Works

Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 26, 2023

Several times the sparrow flew at the closed window and smacked itself into it, until it got so weak it could no longer fly; it only could walk.

At the time of the intrusion, they were recording a guitar recital for later broadcast on the radio. The chirping bird didn’t exactly ...read more

What Does Love Have To Do With It?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jun 25, 2023

John 13:31-35 contains perhaps the most remarkable command given to Christians: that love for others is the characterizing indication of faith for ''all individuals,'' denoting the existence of a genuine believer.

Jesus outlines this as a new commandment, utilizing His own model as the norm. In giving this charge, Jesus indeed predicts His looming demise and exit from earth. To cherish others was not another new commandment (Leviticus 19:18), but rather to love others just as like Christ loved others was ...read more

The First Advent

Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Dec 19, 2023

Its a time of year when some Christian denominations talk about “Advent.” The word simply means “the coming of someone or something important.” Traditionally “advent” is the four Sundays prior to Christmas Day, in which people celebrate the coming of ...read more
