In Acts 17, Paul enters Athens, a city filled with idols, competing beliefs, and rival philosophies, and from within that culture points people toward the God they do not yet know. Rather than condemning from a distance, he listens, engages, and speaks with both courage and gentleness. This Sunday, Phil will explore Paul’s model for evangelism and invite us to consider how we might faithfully witness to Christ in our own cultural m...

This Sunday, our apprentice Jude will be preaching (for his first time at St. Pete's!) we are looking at the first fourteen verses of John 14, which includes one of Jesus’ most famous declarations: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life” (14:6). We’ll explore what this meant for the disciples and what it means for us today!

Easter is the inauguration of a new creation and a new people, with new ways of relating to one another as the People of God. But we still live in a fallen world, and the Kingdom of God isn’t fully realized. How are Christians to relate to the world, including the governing authorities? Our reading from 1 Peter 2:13-25 speaks to this very question. Join us as we explore themes of authority and freedom from a biblical perspective.

What does the resurrection really mean? This Sunday, we explore two teachings from Peter: one is the first recorded post-resurrection sermon, and the other was written decades later to Christian exiles scattered across the world. Together, these teachings reveal a God who acts in history, a risen King who reigns, and a living hope that changes everything. We will see that the resurrection isn’t merely about what happened to Jesus, ...

Join us this Sunday as we journey from the season of Lent towards Easter together. As Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey into what will prove to be a crucial week, the people are shaken, asking, "Who is this?" We will look at how we answer that question, the danger of merely following the crowd, and what Jesus himself reveals about who He is.

This Sunday we will look at the wonderful story of Jesus healing the man born blind from John 9. Why does Jesus spit on the ground? Why don’t the blind man’s neighbours recognize him after he is healed? Why do the Pharisees throw him out of the synagogue, and what does it all have to do with us? Come and “see”!

This week's sermon will include a discussion of one of the hot-button topics in the church and wider society today.
In Romans 1, Paul lays out how we collectively exchanged the worship of God for the worship of idols. Because of this, God “gave us over” to all manner of impurities. The list Paul gives of our impurities is long, but we must admit that he includes homosexual acts as a chief example. How are we to approach this? ...

Lent is the perfect time to review and renew our rule of life (also known as Rhythm for Life at St. Pete’s). A rule of life is simply a means of intentionally organizing our life around practices or disciplines that invite the Holy Spirit to help us grow into Christlikeness. In other words, it's a personal plan for discipleship. The disciplines are not a m...

As we stand on the threshold between Epiphany and Lent, we will focus on Paul’s letter to the church in Philippi. In this letter, Paul makes a bold claim: everything he once counted as spiritual success — his pedigree, performance, and religious passion — he now calls loss compared to one thing: knowing Christ.
What if the greatest obstacle to knowing Jesus isn’t failure, but quiet confidence in our own goodness? What if the Chris...

Each year, every church in our Diocese is encouraged to keep the second-to-last Sunday in Epiphany as “World Mission Sunday.” The whole Season of Epiphany is dedicated to Christ as the Light to the nations, but on this Sunday especially, we are encouraged to reflect on Jesus’ great commission to his Church to make disciples of all nations.
Our sermon this week will reflect on Matthew 9:35-38, wherein Jesus encourages his disciples...

Long ago, before the co-option of Advent by commercialism, the celebration of the Incarnation - God the Son come to us in flesh and blood - began on Christmas Eve and lasted 40 days until the feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple, also called Candlemas.
As Grady introduced to us last year, we will again consider the story of the divine appointment at the temple in Jerusalem of the infant Jesus, Mary, and Joseph with tw...

We will be reading about how Jesus begins his public ministry by preaching. His first sermon is this: “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”
What does it mean to repent?
What is the Kingdom of Heaven?
What does it mean that the Kingdom of Heaven is “at hand?”
Come and see!

Our Gospel reading for this Sunday unfolds as a drama of names. Jesus is called by several different names by those around him, lamb of God, the one who was before, Rabbi and Messiah. People can’t seem to decide what to call him. Then, Jesus turns the tables. He looks at a man named Simon and gives him a new name—one that reshapes his future and gives him a new sense of purpose.
As we explore this passage together, I want to pay c...

We’ll be looking at St Matthew’s account (we’re out of Luke!) of the Baptism of Jesus. Matthew is the only gospel that gives us the little discussion between John the Baptist and Jesus before the baptism happens. John wants to stop it, and we can understand why. Why should the sinless Jesus undergo a baptism of repentance? It doesn’t seem appropriate. Jesus’ answer is that “it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.”

This Sunday, on the 4th Sunday of Advent, we finally get to anticipate Christmas! We’ll look at Isaiah’s famous prophecy: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel” (Isa 7:14). We’ll begin by reading this text literally, in its original context. I think we’ll find that this will leave us unsatisfied. This will lead us to the question: What is the Old Testament for Christians? The answer is ...

We journey from the desolation of exile, into the everlasting joy of redemption. We look at movements from barrenness to flourishing, our weakness to God's deliverance, and from spiritual exile to spiritual homecoming. We're looking forward to worshipping together on Sunday!

This Sunday, we continue our Advent journey in the Book of Isaiah, this time in chapter 11. This chapter reveals much about the Messiah. He is a “Sprout from a Stump,” Spirit-saturated, the Just Judge, the Corrector of Creation, the Eliminator of Evil, and the Flag for All Folk. Our Messiah is glorious in his multifaceted splendour! Looking forward to worshipping Him with you on Sunday!
