This Sunday, our guest preacher was Rabbi Dr. Laura Duhan Kaplan, Director of Inter-Religious Studies, Professor of Jewish Studies and Interim Academic Dean at the Vancouver School of Theology. Rabbi Laura chanted Nehemiah 8:1-3, 5-6, 8-10 and Psalm 19 in Hebrew during the service, then read Nehemiah and preached (in English) on both those texts….
Not a sermon, this week, but a drama, on the topic of Food Security, the Sunday after World Food Day. You’ll hear three voices, eventually, two are sitting at their local coffee shop (introduced by Rev. Cari as “Crossbucks”) and a third person joins their conversation. Listen for the seeds planted in this conversation! (Our…
This morning, Rev. Jim was preaching on Mark 9:38-50. Mark ends Jesus’ time teaching his disciples in Galilee with some strong and stern words. Cutting off pieces of the body if they sin should (thankfully) not be taken literally! Jesus is saying, “Pay attention! This is very important!” Like us, the disciples struggle to hear…
This was another sermon from the Rev. Jim Short, reflecting on Psalm 130 and Ephesians 4:25-5:2. The audio version may not do it justice, because Jim did one of his “many chairs” extravaganza sermons. The basic question is “How does God see us?”
The Rev. Jim Short preached at Crossroads this morning, and his texts were Psalm 145 and John 6:1-21. He asks, “Does reading our Bible give you that ‘loaves and fishes’ kind of feeling? What does reading the Bible do for you? Is it like stone soup without the extras?”
The Rev. Jim Short preached at Crossroads this morning, and his texts were Mark 6:30-34, 53-56 and Psalm 23. Jim looks way back in history and asks, “How and where, after the Emperor Constantine was baptized and Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire, did we lose our way?” Buckle up for a…
The Rev. Jim Short preached at Crossroads this morning. His texts were Ephesians 2:11-22 and Psalm 89, and in the sermon, he suggests a bit of composting! “What do you need to let go of in terms of things you learned along the way about faith and life? And how challenging is that for you?”
At Crossroads today, we hosted our own “Mental Health Sunday” and were pleased to welcome Cathy Bone to the pulpit. Her text was Mark 5:21-34, and she unpacked a very complex text, shared some of her own mental health journey, as well as imparting a bit of teaching about how our brains work. As we…
This Sunday, guest lay preacher (and spouse of our Lead Minister) Rob Copeman-Haynes preached on the familiar text at I Samuel 3 known as “The Call of Samuel.” Only he didn’t focus our attention where preachers usually direct it. He focussed us on Eli’s role in the story. And he imagined Eli going to his…
Rev. Jim Short grapples with John 20:19-31 for this first Sunday after Easter. Imagine Thomas, looking for the Resurrected Jesus, bursts into the room where the disciples are hiding in fear from the temple authorities. They say to him, “We saw him and the marks of his crucifixion. We were filled with joy, and he…
