12 June 2022 - Trinty Sunday - In today's world, truth has become personalized and relative. It is no longer acceptable to speak of “the truth” but can say only “my truth” and “your truth.” In John’s Gospel, Jesus often speaks of “the truth" – which is a correct understanding of who He is, along with right living (doing the truth). Both are necessary to maintain that gift of divine life that we share with the Father and the Son through the Holy Spirit.

Readings: Proverbs 8:1-4, 22-31; Romans 5:1-5; John 16:12-15

5 June 2022 - Pentecost - The day of Pentecost was a truly memorable day, especially for those disciples that received the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Deacon Neville Jones looks at the context of when and where this happened – its relationship to Easter and where the disciples were gathered – as well as its significance for the spread of the gospel. Using Ezekiel’s vision of the river of God, he offers a final reflection on the power and effect of the Holy Spirit and our calling to be part of it.

29 May 2022 - Seventh Sunday of Easter - The Ascension is a neglected event in Jesus' life, says Rev. David Pileggi. When we think of what saves us, many of us think of Jesus' death and resurrection. However, every aspect of Jesus' life ministers salvation to us -- from his birth all the way to the ascension, from his continuing ministry of intercession before the Father all the way to his coming return.

22 May 2022 - Sixth Sunday of Easter - Our three scripture passages today are about Home. We all have a desire for the security, well-being and blessing that a home gives us. And no matter how good or how dysfunctional our childhood home was, we all know what the ideal home should be. But where can we find it? The biblical understanding is that home is in our relationship with God. It’s a gift that’s on offer, one that we don’t have to earn. We enter solely by grace. It’s a phenomenal promise, but our residency there depends upon maintaining the relationship. Our readings today teach us what is essential towards that end.

Readings: Deuteronomy 11:1-12; Revelation 21:10-22:5; John 14:23-29
