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…
The Rev. Wendy Bily was our guest preacher this morning, for the 5th Sunday in Lent. She preached on John 12:20-33 in which Jesus speaks of his impending death, and compares himself to a “grain of wheat.”

Two major armed conflicts in our world alongside many smaller ones turn our attention to the topic of war and what Jesus would think or do. Despite numerous attempts at a peaceful solution to the Palestinian–Israel conflict which is rooted in the past, and profoundly affected by decisions made by Western nations in the breakup…
Sermon preparation felt like a game of snakes and ladders. I rolled the dice on Monday with a thought and hit a few snakes on the way and ended up on Friday where I least expected. I explore the importance of the current vision and values process and why it’s important and how it relates…
We explore what seems like a way passage: “Love God with your whole being and your neighbour as your self”. Asked by a Pharisee what is the greatest commandment Jesus links the “SHEMA” with Leviticus 19 and say they are one. We explore what that means and how the three loves fit together with a…
This is the Sunday we launch our stewardship campaign, and we reflect on Jeremiah’s words in the 29th Chapter. He is speaking to the people of Israel who have been deported to Babylon and their total way of life in Jerusalem has been destroyed including the Holy City. False prophets are saying they will only…
Luke is the only gospel that tells the story of Jesus in a “no man’s land” between Samaria and Judea. There, Jesus encounters ten men who have leprosy – a devastating contagious skin condition that was, in those days, impossible to cure and forced lepers to live in isolated areas in groups apart from their…
