The Wonder of Jesus | Luke 4:14-21
Canon Jonathan examines the peculiar and spectacular joy of Christ, a feeling far different from the comforts and carefree pleasures of life. When our need is desperate, we cry out for a savior, and Jesus proclaims himself the very answer. Believing in Jesus is like believing in fairy tale endings, a joy only those freed from darkness will be able to grasp.

Making Wise Decisions | Session Four | Gospel Words for a Messy Church
Просмотров 454 часа назад
How do we make good decisions? Every day, we answer questions over what we ought to do, yet only sometimes is right and wrong clear. What do we do when things aren't clear? The apostle Paul helps the Corinthians to answer this question by teaching them how to reflect and deliberate on what is true and good.
Our Sanctuary | Psalm 27
Просмотров 2816 часов назад
Why do we keep coming to church? We who know the Lord can learn from the longing of King David, as recorded in the Psalms. For in the midst of affluence and adversity, David's singular desire is to return to the sanctuary of God, for there we behold the splendor of God and find our ultimate security as a child of God.
Liberty or License? | Session Three | Gospel Words for a Messy Church
Просмотров 9321 час назад
Christians often argue over how they ought to live and what rules they ought to follow. This is nothing new. How do we know when something is up for debate and when it is not? In this session, we tackle questions of morality and attitude in the life of the church.
Cleansed, Transformed, Beloved | Luke 3:15-22
Просмотров 3814 дней назад
On the feast of the Baptism of Christ, Canon Jonathan ponders the reasons that led Jesus to the river of John the Baptist. Not only do we learn more about our Lord who was baptized for our sake, we also learn about ourselves. For we need cleansing, transformation, and a new identity, all of which God provides through the work of Jesus on our behalf.
God Gives the Growth | Session Two | Gospel Words for a Messy Church
Просмотров 11314 дней назад
In 1 Corinthians 3, Paul uses three metaphors to describe the church: a field, a building, and a temple. Though different, each affirm that God and God alone gives life and growth to his people. In this session, we discuss Paul's view of the church, which challenges our tendency to trust in our own strategies and techniques.
Behold! Magi from the East... | Matthew 2:1-12
Просмотров 4821 день назад
Uncertainties abound, especially at the start of a new year. But like the magi of old, we can be certain that Jesus, our Creator and King, is compelling the world to come to him. For by his sacrifice, we find ourselves drawn and dethroned by his irresistible forgiveness. Still more: he pulls close to each and every one of us because he deeply cares.
The Grace of Christmas | John 1:1-16
Просмотров 2321 день назад
Is it realistic to try and keep Christmas all the year? The world believes Christmas is no more than a respite from life, yet the apostle John says otherwise. Christmas is a deep, enduring reality that promises life in supernatural abundance. For in Christ, the grace of Christmas never tires and it comes to transform us.
The Word of the Cross | Session One | Gospel Words for a Messy Church
Просмотров 13921 день назад
What impresses you? How do you want people to think of you? Answers to questions like these tell us what we value in life. In a letter to the church in Corinth, the apostle Paul confronts the old wisdom that once dictated our lives with the new wisdom of the cross.
Resounding Joy | Luke 1:39-56
Просмотров 66Месяц назад
Bishop Paul examines Mary's Magnificat, a song of joy and among the most celebrated songs in human history. For Mary expresses the joy of knowing her divine purpose, a purpose that we as Christians share. God takes the lowliest and lifts them up, like Mary, in order that we too can bear the Lord before the world.
This Present Advent | Psalm 85
Просмотров 33Месяц назад
Canon Jonathan reminds us how prone we are, especially in the holiday season, to distract ourselves from the misery in our lives. But Advent provides an opportunity to flee sentimentality and, instead, gather up our longings and remember our God, whose promised coming is the hope of the ages.
Stronger Than Death | Session Seven | Love as Strong as Death
Просмотров 77Месяц назад
Song of Songs declares, “For love is strong as death, jealousy is fierce as the grave.” These striking words are beautiful to hear, but upon reflection, seem to be false. How can love possibly overcome death or the grave? In this final session, we examine how the bride can honestly say that love is as strong as death.
Good News for the Unprepared | Luke 3:1-6
Просмотров 72Месяц назад
Are we prepared for the return of King Jesus? Surely, we are not, for we often give allegiance to corrupt rulers and ideologies and thus surrender the dignity of being made in the image of God. And yet, God speaks. He comes to where we are and, in the power of Jesus, restores us to life incorruptible.
