Reflections & Other Videos

Lectio Divina

We take some time to quietly reflect through the use of this ancient way of reading Scripture.

There are instructions in the beginning of the video, but find a quiet place and enjoy some deep contemplations, trusting that your Creator will speak to you through this reading.

Who Gets Into Heaven ?

Romans 8:12-25

In Romans Paul gives us a compelling picture of what it means to live by faith, and not to worry so much about the afterlife.

A Bright New Path

Life can be full of problems, but how do we view these in light of our faith? And, maybe more importantly, how do we avoid being the kind of Christians who just pat people on the back and say things like “everything happens for a reason”?

Based on Romans 8:1-11

The Struggle Within

Paul cleverly diagnoses the problem with us all. It is not to offer condemnation but, hopefully, an amusing and relatable expression of the internal struggles we all face.

Based on Romans 7:15-25

Sin:

Why So Fun?

Romans 6:12-23

Father’s Day

Though not as popular as Mother’s Day…in this reflection we celebrate the men in our lives who have guided, nurtured, and protected us.

Matthew 10:24-39

Mother’s Day

When Jesus’ heart broke for the faith of the people of Jerusalem, did he compare himself to a warrior?

To a frustrated King?

To a disappointed dad?

No, he compared himself to a Mother Hen & her desire to protect her wayward kids from the elements.

There is something we all need to learn in that.

The passage is Luke 13:31-34

And the Reflection is A Faith of the Heart

Following God…Catastrophically

We continue in our series on Faith & the Satanic Panic of the 20th century.

Memory is such an important piece of our decision-making process. But what if we remember wrong? Or, worse, what if someone convinces us of memories we don’t actually have?

How can that shape our faith?

Reading: Acts 7:55-60

Are Christians Sheeple?

We introduce a new series on the Satanic Panic of the 20th century by asking if Christians are more prone to conspiracy theories/thinking than others?

Our reading is from: John 10:1-10

Seeing God in Bread

What happened when two people—people who knew Jesus well—simply cannot recognize him until they start eating with him? Hopefully, a story that reminds us all how often we cannot see what is right in front of us.

(Based on the Road to Emmaus Luke 24:13-35)

Easter Sunday!

A Very Canadian

Good Friday

On location at Freelton-Strabane United Church

We explore John’s Gospel and the people who were with Jesus at the end…

Here is the Refletion from our Palm Sunday Service

We all wrestle with the fickleness of people (and the fickleness within ourselves) & Palm Sunday offers us a unique way to see how Jesus opened up space for celebration even as he remained aware of what such celebrations could turn into…
