March 28, 2021 - Why Did Jesus Have to Die? A Sermon on Mark 15 for Palm/Passion Sunday

3/31/2021

 

Mark 15:1-39 (Click to Read)
Preacher: Jasmine Chandra

If you read the gospels, you'll quickly learn that Jesus anticipated his crucifixion. He knew his death was coming. That being the case, could he have then sought to escape the cross? Could he have gone into hiding after that fateful supper with the disciples, when Judas went off into the night to betray him? Of course, Jesus did not do that because he knew that his death was necessary. But why was it necessary? What does Jesus' death accomplish? That's what Jasmine will address in her sermon as she takes a closer look at the 15th chapter of Mark's Gospel.

February 7, 2021 - When Jesus didn't heal: a sermon on Mark 1:29-39

2/10/2021

 

Mark 1:29-39 (Click to Read)
Preacher: Jasmine Chandra

The Gospels tell many stories about how Jesus healed the sick. However, in his earthly ministry, Jesus did NOT heal every last soul in Galilee, Judea and the surrounding regions. In fact, on at least one occasion, Jesus left town BEFORE everyone had a chance to see him. What does that have to say about Jesus and his mission? That's what Jasmine focusses on in her reflection on Mark 1:29-39.

January 31, 2021 - Confronting Evil: Jesus' Exorcism in the Synagogue at Capernaum

2/2/2021

 

Mark 1:1-28 (Click to Read)
Preacher: Terence Chandra

Because Jesus is indeed loving and compassionate we may be tempted to mistake him for a tame Messiah- one who stands in our corner, always taking our side. However, the truth that comes across so clearly in today's Gospel reading (Mark 1:21-28) is this: Jesus has come to confront and cast out the power of evil in this world. That includes the evil that exists in our communities and, indeed, within our very own hearts.

January 24, 2021 - A Service of Morning Prayer

Mark 1:14-20 (Click to Read)
Preacher: Coralie Losier

In today's sermon, Coralie will take a closer look at Mark 1:14-20, the story of how Peter and Andrew; James and John were called to be disciples of Jesus. Priests and pastors; missionaries, monks and nuns are NOT the only people with a special calling. ALL Christians have been called to some kind of ministry. What does it mean to be called by Jesus? What does it mean to truly be his disciple?

A Path away from Greed

3/31/2019

 

Mark 6:30-44 (CLick to Read)
Preacher: John Paul Westin

Questions for Personal and Small Group Considerations on the Sunday Gospel Reading (Mark 6:30-44) taken from the Serendipity Bible:
  • The disciples thought they were getting a break (v. 31) but they ended up serving. If you were one of the disciples, how would you have felt?
  • What is the difference between the way Jesus looked on the crowd and the way the disciples viewed them?
  • Why would Jesus tell the disciples, "You give them something to eat" (v. 37)?
  • What would you feel as a disciple when you gathered the leftovers? What was the lesson to be learned?
  • How has Jesus fed you when you've been spiritually hungry lately?
  • When you sense that hunger, do you get "hangry", do you come searching for him, or do you usually try to fill up on something else first? If so, what?
  • If you went to a solitary place with Jesus, what would you talk about?

A Path Out of Pride

3/10/2019

 

Mark 10:35-45 (Click to Read)
Preacher: Terence Chandra

Questions for Personal and Small Group Considerations on the Sunday Gospel Reading (Mark 10:35-45) taken from the Serendipity Bible:
  • Why do you think James and John asked for this special honour (v. 37)?
  • What view of the kingdom are James and John still clinging to? How could they respond like this in light of vv. 33-34?
  • What cup and baptism is Jesus talking about in v. 39?
  • What made the other disciples indignant?
  • How does Jesus use this uproar to convey new insights into his greatness?
  • How do you feel about following the servant’s path to greatness (vv. 43-44)?
