    What is Worship? I’m not always the brightest….dragon egg story OR switching car out story If we seek an all-inclusive summary of worship, we end up with a bland “catch-all” phrase that means almost nothing, such as David Peterson suggest in his (otherwise quite helpful) work, Engaging With God, ...read more

    Feast of the Baptism of Jesus 2026 In this account from St. Matthew’s Gospel, John the Baptist is getting into what looks like an argument with his cousin, Jesus. “Why are you coming to me for baptism? I should be asking you to baptize me!” St. Luke records that when John’s mother and the Blessed ...read more

    Servant leadership. Blah-blah-blah. and so on; and so forth. Ever since Robert Greenleaf coined the term, there has been so much information out there on servant leadership that is too academic, or filed with unpractical generalizations like servant leadership is not command and control, nor ...read more

    Here is a prophecy that tells us about God’s plan for salvation for his people, including the suffering and glorification of Jesus Christ who is to come.

    One of the difficulties people have when they first become Christians and begin studying the Bible, is what to do with the Old Testament. In fact some people never quite work that one out. It seems so foreign doesn’t it? It’s full of stories of wars; of God’s favouritism towards the people of ...read more

    Paul tells the Corinth believers that they are not ready for solid food, not because their digestion system has not developed but because of attitude.

    Introduction It would be good to review for a moment the discussion of the book so far. Paul is concerned about divisions in the church. The Corinth saints have begun to form parties, or at least identify themselves, under the names of church leaders. Chapter 1, verse 17, reveals what is at the ...read more

    Are we taking what we prefer, or what we see as a good thing and entering into the Kingdom of God and claiming it as God’s will, when it is nothing but our own doing?

    Pile the kids in the car, hit the remote, garage door opens, and out you go on another drive. Grocery store. Hardware store. The bank. Costco. It is just a trip across town. Nothing exciting, just an every day trip. Kids either don’t want to go, or they complain about going or they act bored out of ...read more

    The concept of imitating God in Ephesians 5:8-14 teaches us to walk in light.

    Scripture Last week I began a sermon series in Ephesians 5:1-21 that I am calling, “Be Imitators of God.” In his letter to the Ephesian Christians, the Apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians 5:1a, “Therefore be imitators of God.” That is Paul’s overall command for this section of Scripture. He then gave ...read more
