Anglican Church of the Good Shepherd - Calgary

Anglican Church of the Good Shepherd - Calgary Welcome to The Church of the Good Shepherd! We are a family committed to growing in faith and to serving others as apostles of Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd.

The Church of the Good Shepherd has had a ministry on the west side of Calgary since the early 1960's. The Church is not a building or an organization, or even a program . . . it is a people. We strive to be inclusive so no one feels a stranger for long. We believe it is important to be a parish family welcoming to all races, cultures, genders, and sexual orientation. As Christians of differing pe

rspectives, convictions, and practices, we celebrate in our worship together the love of Christ for one another. Our vision is to be a people who welcome all unconditionally into a community of peace and love where renewal through worship and deepening spiritual practices will equip all with a spirituality for everyday life no matter where your daily travels may take you: into classroom, office, hospital, malls, our homes . . . all the places we live Monday to Saturday. We care about everyone's need for community, for spiritual growth and for love. We believe these things are available through our relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ and one another.

"We Do Speak Wisdom: Paul has the mind of Christ"

The chunks of the biblical text given to us in the lectionary are not always self-contained passages with a lesson that is clearly applicable to us. And this passage from 1 Corinthians 2 is one of them. Instead, this passage is simply part of the Apostle Paul's efforts to let the Corinthian church know that they should pay attention to what he has to say in the rest of the letter. As Rev Derwyn explains this idea, the encouragement for us to is to see in this an invitation to exercise godly wisdom in knowing how to approach the varied circumstances we find ourselves in, as we endeavour to live faithfully for Christ Jesus.

"What is the Power of the Gospel? Consider your own call . . ."

When the Apostle Paul said that he did not preach the Gospel with eloquent words so that the cross might not be emptied of its power, what was he talking about? How could eloquent words do something to affect the message of the cross? What, then, is the power of the cross that he's talking about?

In this sermon, Rev Derwyn explores more deeply what Paul is driving at, and comes to a conclusion that we often miss precisely because we don't think it's profound enough. And yet it's this very unassuming nature of the answer that makes the Gospel so powerful...

"Unity Requires Wisdom"

It takes wisdom to maintain unity in the body of Christ. Especially when we're talking about unity within a particular parish. The first letter to the Corinthians shows how Paul exercises wisdom as he begins to address the fractures within the congregation he had established in Corinth, but then it also seems to reveal his struggle to deal with the influence of another person on the congregation, another missionary named Apollos. Rev Derwyn suggests that 1 Corinthians reveals the humanness of Paul as he tries to encourage the Corinthian church while dealing with his own reservations towards and perhaps even jealousy of this other missionary...
