As we gather… on this Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost

The disciples come and ask Jesus “Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” But their
question assumes a worldly understanding of greatness. Greatness which is achieved by status, wealth, ability, and our own efforts. But Jesus overturns this understanding of greatness by calling a child into their midst. Greatness is not about climbing over others to get to the top spot. It isn’t something we earn or can even achieve in His kingdom. Every good gift that comes from God, must be received like a little child. Jesus wants us to realize that we are spiritually vulnerable, weak, and fully dependant on Him for all that we need. He used His greatness to serve us, dying for all people. Now we receive forgiveness, life, and salvation as a gift from Him, not as something we have earned, but because He loves us.

Readings :
Ezekiel 33:7-9
Romans 13:1-10
Matthew 18:1-20

As we gather… on this Ninth Sunday after Pentecost

In a way, the message in Sunday’s Gospel reading seems very familiar. There will be a great judgement at the End, and God will divide people into those who are saved and those who
are condemned. But the fact of that judgement is not the main point. The point is the joy of
those who God chooses, saves, and rescues. What astonishing gifts he gives! How extraordinary it is that He reaches out to notice and help us. What a gift!

Readings :

Deuteronomy 7:6-9
Romans 8:28-39
Matthew 13:44-52

Music:

The Goodness of God
This is the Feast
How Deep the Father’s Love For Us
In, With and Under
Go, My Children, With My Blessing

As we gather for worship on the Second Sunday after Pentecost

Our guilt and shame leads us to cover ourselves up—to hide from others. It happens in our relationship with God too! We use any excuse,
argument, or mechanism we can think of to insist that everything’s fine, there are no problems, nothing to see here! Thankfully, God sees through our pretending. He knows the real score. And (get this) he calls us to trust him and follow him anyway. That was true for Abraham…
Israel… and Matthew. Now it’ s true for us. Come, let us worship him.

Readings :
Hosea 5:15-6:6
Romans 4:13-25
Matthew 9:9-13

Music:
Today Your Mercy Calls Us
How Deep the Father’s Love For Us
Chief of Sinners Though I Be
Come, Let Us Eat
In the Bread, In the Wine
What Wondrous Love Is This

As we gather for worship on Trinity Sunday

The doctrine of the Trinity is complicated, no question. It took the church hundreds of years to figure out how the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are related to each other. But our trust in the Trinity is pretty straightforward. We serve God the Father, who created us. We receive his
forgiveness and love through God the Son—Jesus, our Saviour. And we come to know and
believe this through God the Holy Spirit. So, doctrine and life, teaching and faith. Lots to think about… savour… take in… reflect on… and be thankful for, this Sunday!

Readings:
Genesis 1:1-2:4a
Acts 2:14a, 22-36
Matthew 28:16-2

Music:
Holy, Holy, Holy
King of Kings Come,
O Almighty King
Praise God, From Whom All Blessings Flow Rise, Shine, You People

As we gather for worship on “the Sunday of the Ascension Of Our Lord”

Life is tiring. We tend to get worn-down gradually over time, with sudden shocks draining us still more. No wonder it’s so common for us to feel exhausted and at the end of our rope!
None of that, though, is anything new. Our Christian ancestors felt the same. And before he
ascended into heaven, Jesus recognized that all of his disciples were going to need periodic
boosts. That’s why he promised to send the Holy Spirit—to charge their spiritual batteries
regularly. So even as we remember Jesus’ departure, this Sunday of the Ascension, we also anticipate the coming of the Holy Spirit, which we remember next Sunday (Pentecost).

Readings:
Acts 1:1-11 1
Peter 4:12-19, 5:6-11
Luke 24:44-53

Music:
10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)
He is Exalted

As we gather for worship this Sixth Sunday of Easter “Don’t dawdle!” Maybe we heard that, often, as kids. “Don’t miss out!” Well, that’s God’s message to the world. “Don’t off until tomorrow what you can do today!” In particular, God wants us to turn to him in repentance and faith. Stop being distracted by trivial things… and start paying attention to what lasts forever. Stop focusing so much on ourselves… start
focusing more on Him, and others. As this Easter season comes close to its close, we are
reminded that “Now is the time of God’s favour; now is the day of salvation!” (2 Cor 6:2)

As we gather for worship this Third Sunday of Easter

Wouldn’t it be great if Jesus could come along with us every day? Just think-- he would be instantly available to answer all our questions and help with all our problems. Physically, of course, that isn’t going to happen. It did happen to two of Jesus’ disciples one day not long after he rose from the dead, and we’ll be hearing about their experience this Sunday. But even if we can’t count on him doing that for us, still he comes to us in different ways. As we hear, read, and study his Word—he speaks. As we
receive his gifts of bread and wine—he gives us his body and blood, to forgive and strengthen us. Come and let him give you these gifts this Sunday!

Readings:

Acts 2:14a, 36-41
1 Peter 1:17-25
Luke 24:13-25

As we gather for worship this Second Sunday of Easter

After Easter—what? Christ is risen (He is risen indeed, Alleluia!). But where does that leave us? The joy of the resurrection is not automatic. We don’t always feel it. In fact, we sometimes feel its absence more than its presence. Yes, we long for it, wait for it, and hope for it. But the very fact that we do all those things, rather than actually physically enjoying it here and now, says something. The resurrection of Jesus is more of a promise than a currently realized gift. As precious as that promise is, we still need to wait for its fulfilment.
How good, then, to gather together in worship while we wait. In the strong company of other
“waiters,” we find encouragement… patience… hope… and joy!

Readings:
Acts 5:29–42 1
Peter 1:3-9
John 20:19–31

Music:
He Is Exalted
At the Lamb’s High Feast We Sing
O Sons and Daughters of the King
