21 November 2021 - Feast of Christ the King - Who is God? Do we really know him? Can we really trust him? Deacon Rosemary Saunders encourages us to ask God the tough questions, the questions that cause us to grope for God. The eternal King will answer, perhaps not in a way we want, but in a way to reminds us that he is for us and not against us.

14 November 2021 - 25th Sunday After Pentecost - Hannah, wife of Elkanah, had no children. She faced the pressures of her culture's expectations by going before the Lord.

7 November 2021 - 24th Sunday After Pentecost - Deacon Neville Jones look at the story of Elijah and the widow of Zarephath in the Old Testament, and, in the New Testament, the story of the widow who put just two small coins into the temple treasury. Jesus uses both these women to teach his disciples some unexpected and important truths about the character of God. Their circumstances were very different, but they both showed that God is faithful like no other. Psalm 146 picks up this theme to show that we too can trust him in any and all situations.

31 October 2021 - All Saints Day - Upon the celebration of All Saints Day, we consider why it is essential for us to honor and keep before us the millions of followers of Jesus who have given their lives in rejecting idolatry and remained loyal witnesses of Jesus the Messiah. Surely we should live in such a way that honors their sacrifice.

In Leviticus 5, the first verse about not speaking up about a public charge sparks a discussion that ranges from social-media-related voyeurism and how Leviticus 5:1 comes into play at Jesus' trial recorded in the Gospels.

24 October 2021 - 22nd Sunday after Pentecost - Bartimaeus is unique in the the Gospel of Mark. Ironically, although blind, he is one of the few who sees who Jesus claims to be. What can we, as modern disciples, learn from him? His faith is a bold faith, desperate to receive from Jesus. Unlike the rich young ruler, nothing, not even his cloak hinders him from following Jesus.

17 October 2021 - 21st Sunday after Pentecost - Asking questions and seeking answers from God is not disrespectful nor inherently a wrong thing if done with the right intention. God is not unaware of our personal situations, and he knows us intimately. He is present during our dark times, and he hears our cries and questions about suffering and evil. It's from the storm and the chaos of the world that God’s voice can still be heard. When everything seems out of control, the reality is that God is actually in total control. God has shared our weakness in the person of Jesus, who is now elevated to be our eternal high priest. Jesus continues to speak to the people of God, so let us hear again the Good News when we need it the most.
