Join us for Ben Lowe's sermon, King of All Creation
Christ the King Sunday!
Join us as Ben Lowe (director of ARocha USA) leads us through the beautiful and awe inspiring of Jesus, the King of all Creation. When life hits us with powerful and relentless storms, there is always one who stands with us to command the winds and the rushing water in the storms of this life, and in the calm and beauty.
From our scripture reading in Luke:
One day he got into a boat with his disciples, and he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side of the lake.” So they put out, and while they were sailing he fell asleep. A windstorm swept down on the lake, and the boat was filling with water, and they were in danger. They went to him and woke him up, shouting, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And he woke up and rebuked the wind and the raging waves; they ceased, and there was a calm. He said to them, “Where is your faith?” They were afraid and amazed, and said to one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”

Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon: How Christ Became King of All
Kingdom Season is a period of reflection on the reign of Christ, observed between All Saints' Day (November 1st) and the start of Advent. It is also known as Kingdomtide and culminates in the Feast of Christ the King, which is the last Sunday of the church year. The season uses this time to focus on the themes of God's kingdom.
This week we look at How Christ Became King of All.
How God Became King of All.
In today's sermon we look at Paul's letter to the church in Philippi, which is at least 240 hours in travel via sailing and marching from Rome. In order to control that whole region in Northeastern Greece, the Roman military veterans were given land and placed there in that region after Rome conquered it so that they could import Rome's culture and could influence this region to help hold it under the control of the Empire, and it worked.
From our reading in Philippians 2,
"Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death—even death on a cross."
What Paul is showing the Philippians is completely counter to everything the Empire had ever taught them. Jesus, though He was God, did not regard equality with God something to be exploited, but rather emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave being found in human likeness; became obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. The cross is the Empire's most famous form of torture and humiliation. Jesus dies the most humiliating torturous death the Empire had invented.
Paul goes on to share that because of Jesus' death that,
"Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
Jesus demonstrates His Kingship in that He reaches out to you, and to each one of us.

May the Peace of God be with you today.
Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon: King of Forgiveness
Kingdom Season is a period of reflection on the reign of Christ, observed between All Saints' Day (November 1st) and the start of Advent. It is also known as Kingdomtide and culminates in the Feast of Christ the King, which is the last Sunday of the church year. The season uses this time to focus on the themes of God's kingdom.
This week we look at Forgiveness.
From our scripture reading in Luke 5:
One day, while he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting near by (they had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem); and the power of the Lord was with him to heal. Just then some men came, carrying a paralyzed man on a bed. They were trying to bring him in and lay him before Jesus; but finding no way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down with his bed through the tiles into the middle of the crowd in front of Jesus. When he saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven you.”
Then the scribes and the Pharisees began to question, “Who is this who is speaking blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?” When Jesus perceived their questionings, he answered them, “Why do you raise such questions in your hearts? Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Stand up and walk’? But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the one who was paralyzed—“I say to you, stand up and take your bed and go to your home.”

May the Peace of God be with you today.
Join us for Mako Nagasawa's sermon, Appreciating Antony and Athanasius:
Recovering from Trauma and Taking Courage Against Tyrants
All Saints Day
One of the reasons we honor the Saints on All Saints Day is that they inspire us to practice our faith in a deep and meaningful way. They remind us that we are not alone. The early church Desert Fathers and Mothers were really doing resistance training.
In this fascinating sermon, Mako leads us through some of the intriguing stories of Anthony of Egypt. How can we reflect the love and goodness, the care and kindness and patience of Jesus? How can we work together to help a world that is broken, and fearful, and angry because they don't feel like they have many other options?
The closer we can stay to Jesus, opening our hearts and our lives up to Him, the more we will find that He does lead us down new paths, by still waters and green pastures. That He does set a table before us in the midst of our enemies.

May the Peace of God be with you today.
Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon, The Nicene Creed and A Response to Ongoing Situations in the ACNA.
Join us for Tim's caring and personal response and a beautiful insight to the Nicene Creed.
In light of the ongoing serious issues within the leadership of the Anglican Church in North America, at some point the ACNA needs to acknowledge that we have a culture problem in significant leadership roles within the ACNA. Why can't we do the biblical thing and lament? Can we imagine what might change if we had National Days of Lament over this?
We also have to acknowledge that sorting out situations like this is very difficult.
What can we do when we've been harmed by the church or more specifically by the Senior Leadership within the church? When the church has deeply and personally disappointed you? How do we find a way forward when the situation seems devastating and deeply disappointing?
One way is through lamenting together, one way is through calling on leadership to be accountable, another way is through a practice that's gone on for centuries within the church worldwide, The Nicene Creed.
This year marks the 1700th anniversary of the Nicene Creed.
The Creed happens because the early church leaders wanted to center people in the core of God's narrative love story in Christ Jesus..

Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon, Exodus: Carried and Cared For
In this insightful and encouraging message, Tim reminds us that transition is a special part of our lives.
The beauty of life and of heading towards the place you hope to be is not just the arriving at the place, but the beauty of the journey itself.
From our reading, Deuteronomy 1:31
The Lord your God, who goes before you, is the one who will fight for you, just as he did for you in Egypt before your very eyes, and in the wilderness, where you saw how the Lord your God carried you, just as one carries a child, all the way that you travelled until you reached this place.
When we hold on to the promise that God has made to us, that God has carried us all this way along our journey, then we know it will work and we know it will be better.

Creationtide Week 5
Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon: Angels,
Holy Michael and All Angels
Join us as Tim shares about Holy Michael and All Angels and some of what we know about another of God's creatures.
Once a year the church calendar draws our attention to Angels, we never get too far away from the truth that God's creation involves more than we can see and sense.
The understanding that God has made his angels as His messengers of love, allows for even more confidence in the depth of God's love for us, layers, depth, that we may not be aware of. In God's great love he has also created angels, as His servants and messengers to us about God and his great love.
From our scripture reading in Revelation 4:
Day and night without ceasing they sing,
‘Holy, holy, holy,
the Lord God the Almighty,
who was and is and is to come.’
And whenever the living creatures give glory and honour and thanks to the one who is seated on the throne, who lives for ever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall before the one who is seated on the throne and worship the one who lives for ever and ever; they cast their crowns before the throne, singing,
‘You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honour and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they existed and were created.’

Creationtide Week 4
Join us for Mother Jen Keifer's sermon:
Creationtide: God of Oaks and Rivers, of Bees and Soil
We continue our look at Creation's central position in the Gospel
Jen invites us to pause. To take a breath. To take a moment and connect with Creation.
When we pause in front of an Oak Tree we are invited into stillness, we are invited back into "wonder". When we pay attention to the life of a tree, we are pulled out of the abstraction of Empire. This is how scripture invites us to look at Creation. Not as backdrop, not as scenery, not as material, rather as a witness to God's ongoing work. The scripture is full of this kind of imagery. Trees clap their hands, rivers lift their voices, mountains rejoice, even the rocks cry out.
from our reading today in Psalm 19
The heavens are telling the glory of God;
and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.
Day to day pours forth speech,
and night to night declares knowledge.
There is no speech, nor are there words;
their voice is not heard;
yet their voice goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.
And in the gospel of Luke chapter 19
Then they brought it to Jesus; and after throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. As he rode along, people kept spreading their cloaks on the road. As he was now approaching the path down from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the deeds of power that they had seen, saying,
“Blessed is the king
who comes in the name of the Lord!
Peace in heaven,
and glory in the highest heaven!”
Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, order your disciples to stop.” He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the stones would shout out.”
The Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew (Eastern Orthodox) proposed in 1989 that September 1st (the first day of the Orthodox Church year) should be observed as a day “of protection of the natural environment”.
In 2016, Pope Francis declared 1 September an annual World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. This was expanded in Europe to be a season — Creationtide — going from September 1st until October 4th (the Feast of St Francis), and has been adopted in many churches around the world, including some in the Anglican Communion.
Why is this important? How does this relate to me?

Creationtide Week 3
Join us for Mother Jen Keifer's sermon:
Creationtide: Re-storying Origins, Identity, and Purpose:
Restore, Reconcile, Liberate
Restoring our Cosmology, Ontology, and Teleology through re-storying.
Cosmology - the doctrine of origins. Where do we come from?
Ontology - the doctrine of the nature of our being or our identity. What is our identity? How do we re-story our identity?
Teleology: the doctrine of design and purpose in the material world. What are we aiming at? What is our purpose and destination?
The true story of God is one of restoration not retribution; reconcile not exile, liberation not obliteration. Re-storying these reconnects us to our Origins, Identity, Purpose.
God's plan has always been the restoration of the whole creation.
Jesus, the seed sown into the earth, wove God Himself into the story so that we might be restored to God, to one another, and to all creation.

Creationtide Week 2
Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon:
Creationtide: Amazing and Unexpected
The Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew (Eastern Orthodox) proposed in 1989 that September 1st (the first day of the Orthodox Church year) should be observed as a day “of protection of the natural environment”.
In 2016, Pope Francis declared 1 September an annual World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. This was expanded in Europe to be a season — Creationtide — going from September 1st until October 4th (the Feast of St Francis), and has been adopted in many churches around the world, including some in the Anglican Communion.
Why is this important? How does this relate to me?
Join us as Tim walks us through this part of our sermon series during Creationtide.
Somewhere along the way we may have lost a bit of the story of God.
It's not that "creation" failed and the whole idea of God creating the universe and humankind was a "waste", rather it's that God worked in this AMAZING and UNEXPECTED way to enter and weave God's OWN SELF into the story; and to demonstrate how to live and interact with all creation, including God's selfless love in laying down His life so that we might be forgiven and re-enter relationship with God, each other, and all of creation.
What do we do with this in our daily lives? How do we live into the rhythms that God has given us?
*From our reading in Matthew 6:
‘Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal…
‘No one can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.
‘Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life? And why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?
Therefore do not worry, saying, “What will we eat?” or “What will we drink?” or “What will we wear?” For it is the Gentiles who strive for all these things; and indeed your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
‘So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today.*

Creationtide Week 1
Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon:
Creationtide: Free Yourself, Free Your Soul - An Invitation to Life
The Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew (Eastern Orthodox) proposed in 1989 that September 1st (the first day of the Orthodox Church year) should be observed as a day “of protection of the natural environment”.
In 2016, Pope Francis declared 1 September an annual World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. This was expanded in Europe to be a season — Creationtide — going from September 1st until October 4th (the Feast of St Francis), and has been adopted in many churches around the world, including some in the Anglican Communion.
Why is this important? How does this relate to me?
Join us as Tim walks us through the first part of our sermon series during Creationtide.
Creationtide: A whole perspective about God's relationship to creation, not only to each of us and to humans, but God's relationship with Creation and with all creatures that God has created. It's about a whole lot more than simply "take control and do what you want" to the beautiful world we live in.
From our reading in John 12:
Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

Ordinary Time - God Loves You
Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon:
God Loves You, Hesed Pt. 9
God's Love: God Remembers You
God not only loves you, just as you are, but in his kind love, God remembers you. You are not forgotten. You are not forsaken.
The times we live in are not easy, they are chaotic, it can be a challenge to not be overwhelmed by anger or grief or unrest.
Yet, within our life, God's "hesed" love is the center, it is the place of courage and confidence, it's a place to stand in the chaos and confusion...
Sometimes we have been told in our lives various sayings
"God loves you, but…"
"God loves you, and…"
"God loves you, therefore…"
But what if it's simpler, more profound, more powerful, more transforming, and more beautiful than that.
God Loves You
What does this mean for you and me? It means EVERYTHING.
God's love, God's faithfulness, God's mercy, God's grace, God's kindness, and God's loyalty.
God not only loves you, just as you are, but in his kind love, God remembers you. You are not forgotten. You are not forsaken.
In this fascinating sermon, Tim takes us through the scriptures and all of the times that God reminds us that He remembers us.
From our reading Psalm 25 (4-18)
Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
teach me your paths.
Lead me in your truth, and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all day long.
Be mindful of your mercy, O Lord, and of your steadfast love,
for they have been from of old.
Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
according to your steadfast love remember me,
for your goodness’ sake, O Lord!
Good and upright is the Lord;
therefore he instructs sinners in the way.
He leads the humble in what is right,
and teaches the humble his way.
All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness,
for those who keep his covenant and his decrees.
For your name’s sake, O Lord,
pardon my guilt, for it is great.
Who are they that fear the Lord?
He will teach them the way that they should choose.
They will abide in prosperity,
and their children shall possess the land.
The friendship of the Lord is for those who fear him,
and he makes his covenant known to them.
My eyes are ever towards the Lord,
for he will pluck my feet out of the net.
Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am lonely and afflicted.
Relieve the troubles of my heart,
and bring me out of my distress.
Consider my affliction and my trouble,
and forgive all my sins.

Ordinary Time - God Loves You
Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon:
God Loves You, Hesed Pt. 8
God's Love: Simple, Deep, Foundational, Unspoiled
The times we live in are not easy, they are chaotic, it can be a challenge to not be overwhelmed by anger or grief or unrest.
Yet, within our life, God's "hesed" love is the center, it is the place of courage and confidence, it's a place to stand in the chaos and confusion...
Join us as Tim continues our summer series on God's Love:
God Loves You - Hesed
Sometimes we have been told in our lives various sayings
"God loves you, but…"
"God loves you, and…"
"God loves you, therefore…"
But what if it's simpler, more profound, more powerful, more transforming, and more beautiful than that.
God Loves You
What does this mean for you and me? It means EVERYTHING.
God's love, God's faithfulness, God's mercy, God's grace, God's kindness, and God's loyalty.
God's intense love for us cannot be overtaken even by a whole nation of people. God is always working in and throughout history, and there is nothing nor anyone who can stop the work of His love for each one of us.
God is everywhere, in ALL things, holding EVERYTHING together, and yet God is also immediately close to each one of us.
Simple and clear, simple and deep, simple and unspoiled, simple and foundational. We need somewhere good and beautiful and true where we can stand and center ourselves.
Hesed is what the psalms are written about in the first place. People write poems about great love.
The psalmist ends with:
As for me, I will be vindicated and will see your face;
when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness.
Our deepest identity is to behold the face of God. To also recognize the likeness of Christ in one another. As we've done to the least of these, we've done unto Jesus.
We continue our look at God's "hesed" love as we look at the reading from Psalm 17.
I call on you, my God, for you will answer me;
turn your ear to me and hear my prayer.
Show me the wonders of your great love,
you who save by your right hand
those who take refuge in you from their foes.
Keep me as the apple of your eye;
hide me in the shadow of your wings
from the wicked who are out to destroy me,
from my mortal enemies who surround me.

Psalm 37 foreshadows Jesus and reminds us that a future of peace is coming for those who seek peace. Their inheritance will endure forever, thanks to God's boundless, redeeming, hesed love.
We continue our look at God's "hesed" love as we look at the reading from Psalm 37.
Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the skies.
Your righteousness is like the highest mountains,
your justice like the great deep.
You, Lord, preserve both people and animals.
How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!
People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
They feast on the abundance of your house;
you give them drink from your river of delights.
For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light we see light.
Continue your love to those who know you,
your righteousness to the upright in heart.

Ordinary Time - God Loves You
Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon:
God Loves You, Hesed Pt. 6
God's Love, The Place of Courage in the Chaos
The times we live in are not easy, they are chaotic, it can be a challenge to not be overwhelmed by anger or grief or unrest.
Yet, within our life, God's "hesed" love is the center, it is the place of courage and confidence, it's a place to stand in the chaos and confusion...
Join us as Tim continues our summer series on God's Love:
God Loves You - Hesed
Sometimes we have been told in our lives various sayings
"God loves you, but…"
"God loves you, and…"
"God loves you, therefore…"
But what if it's simpler, more profound, more powerful, more transforming, and more beautiful than that.
God Loves You
What does this mean for you and me? It means EVERYTHING.
God's love, God's faithfulness, God's mercy, God's grace, God's kindness, and God's loyalty.
God's intense love for us cannot be overtaken even by a whole nation of people. God is always working in and throughout history, and there is nothing nor anyone who can stop the work of His love for each one of us.
God is everywhere, in ALL things, holding EVERYTHING together, and yet God is also immediately close to each one of us.
We continue our look at God's "hesed" love as we look at the reading from Psalm 6.
*Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger
or discipline me in your wrath.
Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint;
heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.
My soul is in deep anguish.
How long, Lord, how long?
Turn, Lord, and deliver me;
save me because of your unfailing love.
Among the dead no one proclaims your name.
Who praises you from the grave?
I am worn out from my groaning.
All night long I flood my bed with weeping
and drench my couch with tears.
My eyes grow weak with sorrow;
they fail because of all my foes.
Away from me, all you who do evil,
for the Lord has heard my weeping.
The Lord has heard my cry for mercy;
the Lord accepts my prayer.
All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish;
they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.*

From our Reading today, Psalm 5:
Listen to my words, Lord,
consider my lament.
Hear my cry for help,
my King and my God,
for to you I pray.
In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait expectantly.
For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness;
with you, evil people are not welcome.
The arrogant cannot stand
in your presence.
You hate all who do wrong;
you destroy those who tell lies.
The bloodthirsty and deceitful
you, Lord, detest.
But I, by your great love,
can come into your house;
in reverence I bow down
toward your holy temple.
Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness
because of my enemies—
make your way straight before me.
Not a word from their mouth can be trusted;
their heart is filled with malice.
Their throat is an open grave;
with their tongues they tell lies.
Declare them guilty, O God!
Let their intrigues be their downfall.
Banish them for their many sins,
for they have rebelled against you.
But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name may rejoice in you.
Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield.

Trinity Sunday
Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon:
The Holy Trinity - The Triune Nature of God
We tend to think of "trinity" as a concept or explanation.
Maybe that's understandable in a way.
The early followers of Christ came to experience it in this way.
Maybe we can say that "trinity" was an observation of the early church patriarchs and matriarchs, but that isn't "explanation".
Sometimes it helps to understand where the church put Trinity Sunday on the church calendar.
Easter, Ascension, Pentecost, and Trinity Sunday.
How does understanding the Triune nature of God help us to walk in our authentic and true selves?
Join us as Tim guides us down an interesting look at the Triune nature of God.
*From the gospel reading in John 16:
But now I am going to him who sent me; yet none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts. Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will prove the world wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: about sin, because they do not believe in me; about righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will see me no longer; about judgment, because the ruler of this world has been condemned.
“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.*

Pentecost Sunday
Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon:
With a Breath, Humanity is Reset | Pentecost Sunday
In this fascinating sermon, Tim reminds us of the story God in the scriptures.
From the beginning of creation through to Pentecost. Colossians tells us that all of creation was made by Him (Jesus) and through Him (Jesus Christ). And in the gospel of John, as Jesus sends his disciples out with peace, he breathes on them saying, "receive the Holy spirit"
The Holy Spirit of God comes to heal and fulfill you.
Jesus breathes on his disciples and says, "receive the Holy Spirit", the same way that in creation, God breathed life into Adam and Eve.
A beautiful reminder that being filled with God's spirit fills us and changes us into our always intended and beautiful selves.
From our reading today from Paul's letter to the church in Rome (chapter 8)
*But you are not in flesh, but rather in spirit, since God’s Spirit dwells in you. But if one does not have the Spirit of the Anointed, this one is not his. But, if the Anointed is in you, the body is dead on account of sin, and yet the spirit is life on account of uprightness. But if the Spirit of the one who has raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised the Anointed One Jesus from the dead will also make your mortal bodies live through the indwelling of his Spirit in you.
So then, brothers, we are indebted not to the flesh, to live according to flesh. For if you live according to the flesh, you are about to die; but, if you put the deeds of the body to death by spirit, you will live. For as many as are led by God’s Spirit, these are God’s children. For you did not receive again a spirit of slavery to fear, but rather received a spirit of adoption in which we cry, “Abba, Father!”
The Spirit itself testifies along with our spirit that we are God’s children. Not only this, but even we ourselves, having the firstfruits of the spirit, groan within ourselves as well, anxiously awaiting adoption, emancipation of our body. For in hope we have been saved, but a hope seen is not hope; for why hope for what one sees? But, if we hope for what we do not see, we anticipate by perseverance. And likewise the spirit also gives us aid in our infirmity; for we do not know what we ought to pray for, but the spirit itself makes intercession with unutterable groans, And he who searches out the heart knows what the spirit’s mind is, for in accord with God it makes intercession on behalf of the holy ones.*

Ascension Day
Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon:
The Promise, Ascension Day
Ascension Day
What is it?
How do we think about this moment in the story of Jesus?
What did the early Christians understand about the Ascension of Jesus?
What is it that Jesus is promising?
Join us for this unique and fascinating sermon as we look at the work of Jesus, and his invitation into walking together with God.
From our Gospel reading in Luke 24:
Then he said to them, ‘These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about me in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms must be fulfilled.’ Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, and he said to them, ‘Thus it is written, that the Messiah is to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. And see, I am sending upon you what my Father promised; so stay here in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.’Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and, lifting up his hands, he blessed them. While he was blessing them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven. And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy; and they were continually in the temple blessing God.

5th Sunday of Easter Tide.
Join us for Mother Wendy Dixon's sermon:
A New Command, Love One Another
"I AM The Resurrection", Jesus
This Easter Tide Season we are Walking in the joy of the Resurrection. The Resurrection is not just an event, The Resurrection is a person, Jesus, God with us.
Is resurrection ONLY a hope for the next life? Or does Jesus, The Resurrection, offer us hope in this life also?
From our Gospel reading today in John chapter 13:
“A new command I give you: Love one another. In the same way I loved you, you love one another. This is how everyone will recognize that you are my disciples—when they see the love you have for each other.”
How do we feel about something new?
How do we feel when we are asked to do something new or different?
Excited? Cautious? Indifferent?
At the Last Supper, Jesus uses his remaining time with his friends to encourage them to do one thing, "Love one another, as I have loved you..."
Jesus reminds us that we are not alone in this command, rather that together with God, we can find those places where we can love one another...
What are those specific works of love that God is inviting us into with our families, our friends, our neighbors and neighborhoods?

Jesus, Release Me
"I AM The Resurrection", Jesus
This Easter Tide Season we are Walking in the joy of the Resurrection. The Resurrection is not just an event, The Resurrection is a person, Jesus, God with us.
Is resurrection ONLY a hope for the next life? Or does Jesus, The Resurrection, offer us hope in this life also?
"Jesus, release me..."
Has this ever been your prayer?
"Lord, please do something in my heart that's deep enough to release me from the wrongs I have done, and those wrongs done to me.."
In the movie, The Mission
Mendoza has tragically killed his brother out of honor which was allowed by law, but for him, there’s no redemption; there's no coming back from such an awful moment. Mendoza says to the priest, "You know what I am..."
The priest replies to a heartbroken Mendoza,
"Yes. You are a mercenary. You are a slave trader. And you killed your brother. I know. And you loved him."
What do you do in the spaces where the law can’t touch you, but you know you’ve done wrong. What do we do with those things we carry inside of us that we know we’ve done wrong…or those wrongs done to us by others?
Acts Chapter 13:
Paul explains…
Through this man Jesus, everything you’ve done that nobody knows, you have been freed.
How do we get freed from the things Moses law can’t release us from?
How do we come to be released?
Paul continues,
*“You Israelites, and others who fear God, listen.
“My brothers, you descendants of Abraham’s family, and others who fear God, to us the message of this salvation has been sent. Because the residents of Jerusalem and their leaders did not recognize him or understand the words of the prophets that are read every sabbath, they fulfilled those words by condemning him. Even though they found no cause for a sentence of death, they asked Pilate to have him killed.
When they had carried out everything that was written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.
But God raised him from the dead; and for many days he appeared to those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, and they are now his witnesses to the people. And we bring you the good news that what God promised to our ancestors he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising Jesus; as also it is written in the second psalm,
‘You are my Son; today I have begotten you.’
As to his raising him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he has spoken in this way,
‘I will give you the holy promises made to David.’
Therefore he has also said in another psalm,
‘You will not let your Holy One experience corruption.’*Trinity-Summer by the Sea!

3rd Sunday of Easter Tide.
Join us for Matt Vaselkiv's sermon:
Is This Our Road to Emmaus Moment?
"I AM The Resurrection", Jesus
This Easter Tide Season we are Walking in the joy of the Resurrection. The Resurrection is not just an event, The Resurrection is a person, Jesus Christ.
Is resurrection ONLY a hope for the next life? Or does Jesus, The Resurrection, offer us hope in this life also?
Is this our Road to Emmaus Moment?
Our God is Emmanuel, God with us, loving and compassionate, who walks with us and meets us in moments of great need, even when we least expect it. Sometimes the story of our life looks like it's heading in a direction that seems unexpected, or maybe in a way that leaves us feeling hopeless, confused, disillusioned.When what is happening today in our country and culture is not what we imagined or hoped for, we pray that we can have the humility and curiosity to recognize Jesus as he meets us in this moment.
*From our scripture today in the Gospel of Luke:
Now on that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with them, but their eyes were kept from recognizing him. And he said to them, “What are you discussing with each other while you walk along?” They stood still, looking sad.
Then one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things that have taken place there in these days?” He asked them, “What things?”
They replied, “The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, and how our chief priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death and crucified him. But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things took place. Moreover, some women of our group astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning, and when they did not find his body there, they came back and told us that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who said that he was alive. Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said; but they did not see him.”
Then he said to them, “Oh, how foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have declared! Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and then enter into his glory?” Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things about himself in all the scriptures.*

May th
2nd Sunday of Easter Tide.
Join us for Mother Jen Kiefer's sermon:
Jesus, IS the Resurrection
"I AM The Resurrection", Jesus
This Easter Tide Season we are Walking in the joy of the Resurrection.The Resurrection is not just an event, The Resurrection is a person, Jesus, God with us.
Is resurrection ONLY a hope for the next life? Or does Jesus, The Resurrection, offer us hope in this life also?
The apostles understood the Resurrection as something much more "here and now and always". For their time, our time, and for our grandkids and every generation and time.
Sometimes Western Christianity disconnects faith from the real world.
But Christ is not a "pie in the sky, bye and bye".
Jesus is God with us now and always.
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Jesus, God with us.The Resurrection is not just an event, The Resurrection is a person, Jesus, God with us.
In our lifetime, many leaders have followed the teachings and actions of Jesus.
Including Pastor John Lewis and Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.
"Everything you do should communicate love and forgiveness for our oppressor, our goal is to set them free, through love and forgiveness."
"If they strike you on the cheek, offer them the other"...Jesus
What will this living Resurrection mean for your life today, this week, this year; as you go out to do the good work that He has given you to do?
*From our Reading in Acts of the Apostles 2,
When the high priest and those with him arrived, they called together the council and the whole body of the elders of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought. But when the temple police went there, they did not find them in the prison; so they returned and reported, “We found the prison securely locked and the guards standing at the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside.” Now when the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were perplexed about them, wondering what might be going on. Then someone arrived and announced, “Look, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people!”
Then the captain went with the temple police and brought them, but without violence, for they were afraid of being stoned by the people.When they had brought them, they had them stand before the council. The high priest questioned them, saying, “We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and you are determined to bring this man’s blood on us.” But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than any human authority"*

Easter Sunday:
Because of Love, Death Had No Right to Hold Him
Why does Jesus, a man from Galilee over 2000 years ago, deserve such adoration even in times of great loss and sorrow? Why does this adoration work? Why does it bring healing and peace to those worshipers? Why does he deserve this adoration?
Because of his wounds.
Jesus walked in solidarity with the pain of the world, in solidarity with the pain caused by empire. In Jesus, God participated in the pain of the world. In the pain of each one of us.
In Jesus, God said, "let the last be first."
Jesus is alive because of love, because he gave himself so completely and unconditionally out of love, that death had no right to hold him.

Lent Week 5
Join us for Mother Wendy's sermon:
Working to Heal Social Divisions
This Lent Season we are talking about healing the flaws, schisms and tears within us.
Week 1- How do we heal our inner flaws and become a more whole person, as God intended us to be.
Week 2 - How prayer helps us to heal.
Week 3 - Can we always be the same person? Am I consistent in who God has made me to be? Or do I act differently, depending on the situation?
Week 4 - Generosity; How do we become whole hearted, integrated beings in a culture that's pointed towards fragmentation, division, and loneliness?
Week 5 - Working to Heal Social Divisions
This week we broaden the lens and look at working to heal schisms of social divisions
- based in race, present or historical
- based in class
- based on where one was lucky enough to be born.
We have an incredible opportunity to work together with our neighbors and to walk with them through anything they may be going through.
Paul says when we engage these things in the Name of Jesus in LOVE then we are joining Jesus in his sacrifice and his sufferings to bring a new world.
Are there other hurting people in my world (beyond the ones I already know and care for) for whom God is calling me to sacrifice?
How can I bring a loving, caring boldness into the contexts where God places me?
We pray that you would know the goodness of God, revealed to us in Christ Jesus.

Lent Week 4
Join us for Mother Jen Keifer's sermon:
Connecting in a Fragmented Culture
This Lent Season we are talking about healing the flaws, schisms and tears within us.
Week 1- How do we heal our inner flaws and become a more whole person, as God intended us to be.
Week 2 - How prayer helps us to heal.
Week 3 - Can we always be the same person? Am I consistent in who God has made me to be? Or do I act differently, depending on the situation?
Week 4- How do we become whole hearted, integrated beings in a culture that's pointed towards fragmentation, division, and loneliness?
Connection
How do we connect when our entire culture is filled with connecting with things rather than with God, our neighbor, and God's creation?
How do we allow the spiritual disciplines of Lent, prayer, fasting, alms-giving; to lead us into this wholeness, rather than just having more things "to do" in a culture already filled with "to-do lists"?
From our gospel reading in Matthew 6:
*Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light; but if your eye is unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
No one can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.*
We pray that you would know the goodness of God, revealed to us in Christ Jesus.

Lent Week 3
Join us for Canon Tim Clayton's sermon:
Being Who God has Made Us to Be
This Lent Season we are talking about healing the flaws, schisms and tears within us.
Week 1- How do we heal our inner flaws and become a more whole person, as God intended us to be.
Week 2 - How prayer helps us to heal.
Week 3 - Can we always be the same person? Am I consistent in who God has made me to be? Or do I act differently, depending on the situation?
God wants to help us get free from those things that have harmed us.
The God we follow is incarnate. He walked on the earth and interacted with us in many different circumstances and he was always the same; fully God and fully human. We sometimes have challenges that keep us from being ourselves, and being who God has made us to be.
How do we be the body of Christ? How can we care for the earth, its creatures, and our neighbors?
*From our gospel in Matthew 23:
Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat; therefore, do whatever they teach you and follow it; but do not do as they do, for they do not practice what they teach. They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on the shoulders of others; but they themselves are unwilling to lift a finger to move them. They do all their deeds to be seen by others; for they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long. They love to have the place of honor at banquets and the best seats in the synagogues, and to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, and to have people call them rabbi.
But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all students. And call no one your father on earth, for you have one Father—the one in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. All who exalt themselves will be humbled, and all who humble themselves will be exalted.
“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you lock people out of the kingdom of heaven. For you do not go in yourselves, and when others are going in, you stop them. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cross sea and land to make a single convert, and you make the new convert twice as much a child of hell as yourselves.*
How can we simply be who God has called us to be, day by day, moment by moment?
We pray that you would know the goodness of God, revealed to us in Christ Jesus.

Lent Week 2
Join us for Mother Wendy Dixon's sermon:
Prayer, A Deeper Relationship
This Lent Season we are talking about healing the flaws, schisms and tears within us.
Week 1- How do we heal our inner flaws and become a more whole person, as God intended us to be.
Week 2 - How prayer helps us to heal.
This Lent, Mother Wendy invites us into a deeper relationship with Jesus.
How do we have a relationship with God?
Though we may have a perception that God is far away or lofty or even "different" than we are, yet in Jesus Christ we see who God actually is. From our scripture today in the gospel of Luke, Jesus says, "How often have I desired to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings..."
Prayer is a dynamic way to come under the embrace of God. Prayer is a place of refuge for every worry. Wendy shares some beautiful insights and guides to help us in prayer. Confession, Adoration, Thanksgiving, Supplication (CATS).
We pray that you would know the goodness of God, revealed to us in Christ Jesus.

Lent Week 1
Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon:
Lent: Start at the Inner
This Lent Season we are talking about healing the flaws, schisms and tears within us.
Week 1- How do we heal our inner flaws and become a more whole person, as God intended us to be.
This week Tim takes a fascinating look at Lent and what it means for us.
In Lent we start at the "inner" parts of ourselves, we break the cycles that tear us, harm us, and fracture us. We stop the cycles that keep us from being connected to God, to loving others, and to connecting with creation. We stop those cycles of anger, of doubt, of addiction, or shame, or social media, or whatever cycle or distraction they may be that can be pulling us apart or keeping us from being whole. It's about growing a healthy core inner self, that God has given you, so that you can live from a place of love, and be the wonderful person God has made you to be; in body, mind, and spirit.
We pray that you would know the goodness of God, revealed to us in Christ Jesus.

Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon:
Creeds, Part 4: The Holy Spirit
Part of worshiping together Liturgically, there are things that we say and pray together every week including the Nicene Creed.Why do creeds exist?
What are they?
How did they come about?
How many are there?
Why do they matter?
What the church patriarchs and matriarchs experienced was a living encounter with the risen Jesus Christ. They experienced love, connection, and hope. Those profound encounters led them to consider what they believed, solid, dependable, real, powerful. They wanted it preserved, kept clear, and remembered always.
In this fascinating sermon series, we unpack the beautiful history of the Nicene Creed, a narrative summary and love story between God and creation. A narrative of who God is, and how God has acted.
From the gospel of John,
Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit..."
In this sermon, Tim shares some beautiful insights and understanding into the Holy Spirit; the Lord, the Giver of Life...

Without any doubt, the mystery of our faith is great:
He was revealed in flesh,
vindicated in spirit,
seen by angels,
proclaimed among Gentiles,
believed in throughout the world,
taken up in glory.
Are we able to let Jesus be "that mystery"?
The Nicene Creed shows us a God who is big enough to be "God" and who is "close" enough that it matters.
We pray that you would know the goodness of God, revealed to us in Christ Jesus.

For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
Amen.
We pray that you would know the goodness of God, revealed to us in Christ Jesus.

Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon:
The Presentation:
This Child is Laid Down in the Temple
The Presentation of Christ in the Temple
Within ourselves and within our society, we desire to find a way to live in a more beautiful way, in the way of Jesus. In Jewish law, 40 days after birth, a first born son was to be taken to the temple to be presented before the priests and dedicated to the Lord.
There are two clues that give us insight into this special moment and day as Simeon is drawn by the Spirit of God to come to the Temple to witness Jesus being presented.
As Simeon speaks to Mary he says, "This child is laid down for the falling and the rising of many in Israel...and a sword will pierce your own soul too."
In an astonishing moment, Simeon sees that the Firstborn of All Creation is going to be laid down for the falling and the rising of many...
Join us as Tim breaks down this powerful story in the early life of Jesus and his parents.
From our scripture today in Luke:
*Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; this man was righteous and devout, looking forward to the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit rested on him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah. Guided by the Spirit, Simeon came into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him what was customary under the law, Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying,
‘Master, now you are dismissing your servant in peace,
according to your word;
for my eyes have seen your salvation,
which you have prepared in the presence of all peoples,
a light for revelation to the Gentiles
and for glory to your people Israel.’
And the child’s father and mother were amazed at what was being said about him. Then Simeon blessed them and said to his mother Mary, ‘This child is laid down for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be opposed so that the inner thoughts of many will be revealed—and a sword will pierce your own soul too.’
There was also a prophet, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, having lived with her husband for seven years after her marriage, then as a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshipped there with fasting and prayer night and day. At that moment she came, and began to praise God and to speak about the child to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.*
We pray that you would know the goodness of God, revealed to us in Christ Jesus.

Join us for Trevor Jones' sermon:
Epiphany Tide:
Jesus: Miracles or Magic? Part 3 - Loaves and Fishes
This Epiphany Season (Epiphany Tide) we continue our look at the glory of Jesus, as his works, his miracles, and his ministry begin to come alive and the news spreads throughout the land because of the wonders Jesus is doing
We continue asking the questions:
How is glory achieved? Self acclamation?
Are miracles done by breaking the limits of creation?
Is glory achieved by rising above those limits?
Magic is for convenience, but a miracle is a moment that shows the deep love of God, meeting people's deepest needs. A miracle shows who God is, bringing His kingdom into the present moment.
How is Jesus' "glory" being shown here?
Glory is the result of paying the cost of love.
In today's sermon Trevor explores another miracle of Jesus, the miracle of the loaves and the fishes.
From the gospel of Mark:
'...They said to him, “Are we to go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread, and give it to them to eat?” And he said to them, “How many loaves have you? Go and see.” When they had found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.”
Then he ordered them to get all the people to sit down in groups on the green grass. So they sat down in groups of hundreds and of fifties. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and he divided the two fish among them all.
And all ate and were filled; and they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish. Those who had eaten the loaves numbered five thousand men.'
As we look at today's miracle from the gospel of Mark, the story of the 5 loaves and 2 fish and feeding the 5000.
We pray that you would know the goodness of God, and the feast that he has on offer to you.

In today's sermon Tim explores another miracle of Jesus, the miracle of the coin in the fish.
From the gospel of Matthew:
Jesus said to him, “...go to the sea and cast a hook; take the first fish that comes up; and when you open its mouth, you will find a coin; take that and give it to them for you and me." Throughout history there have been "messages in bottles" or items found in the bellies of fish, but it's spectacularly different when you know a coin is there and you send your friend to cast his line into the sea to pull out the fish with the coin in it.

Epiphany Tide:
Jesus: Miracles or Magic?
As we continue our walk through Epiphany, in this insightful sermon, Tim explores the miracles and glory of Jesus.
Are Jesus' miracles wrapped up in magic? Or are they wrapped up in something else? How is glory achieved? Self acclamation?
Are miracles done by breaking the limits of creation?
Is glory achieved by rising above those limits?
We invite you to walk with Jesus, loving God and loving your neighbor as yourself.

Christmas Tide:
Jesus - the Beginning, the Light, the Root, the Source
As we continue our journey through Christmas Tide, Tim shares an insightful sermon on John chapter 1. What does it mean that Jesus was the Light? the Source? the Root of all creation? And how is it that Jesus embodies the fullness of being human?
From our scripture in the gospel of John, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it."The very God that made the whole cosmos, is offering each of us, his hand of friendship to walk with us through life.

Advent 4: Mary's Story
This Advent we are looking at the story through the lens of Mary. The one single person in all of history who was closest to Jesus, his mom. Historically we know that Mary was in Ephesus later in life. Can you imagine the Christmas Eve gatherings there with the community in Ephesus? "Mary, tell us the story again..."
Advent Week 4 - Mary's Story
Mary and her willingness to say, "let it be".
Mother Jen reminds us of the journeys of Mary and the many experiences she went through both literally and mystically. Joy and anguish, great faith and deep doubt, and yet we are told that through it all her life is about consistently staying within God's bigger story. We look at the courage that Mary had to continue to show up in a story that perhaps looked different than she thought it might be, and how that might encourage us in our own stories.

Advent 3: The Magnificat, The Song of Mary
This Advent we are looking at the story through the lens of Mary. The one single person in all of history who was closest to Jesus, his mom. Historically we know that Mary was in Ephesus later in life. Can you imagine the Christmas Eve gatherings there with the community in Ephesus? "Mary, tell us the story again..."
As we continue this Advent the story of Mary, this week we look more in depth at the Magnificat, "The Song of Mary." A beautiful prayer in response to God's work in her life, yet somehow over the years and centuries has sometimes been banned by those in public or government authority.
Often in places where the people who were humble, the working class, the pheasants, the farmers, and the common people, were feared to be wanting the "rulers brought down from their thrones", just as the prayer calls for. You might be thinking, "Mary? God's mom? The one in the manger scene wearing cotton candy blue?"
Join us Amaris leads us through this beautiful insight into the Song of Mary. Calling us to make space for the Holy Spirit, to make space for lifting one another up. To lift up the humble, to feed the hungry, to care for the poor and the sick, the refugee and the prisoner. To bring the realities of the Kingdom of God and of Jesus into our world today.

There's a long history in our faith of recognizing the parallels of athletic training (formation) and spiritual training (formation). Time under "tension" can seem like forever. We sometimes pray, "Lord, I want to grow and change in this area, how much longer will it take?". Sometimes we long for change, we pay attention to what's setting us off, and to those areas of our lives where we would like to do better so that we can love God and love our neighbors better. Like athletes, these changes don't happen overnight. Some of us are waiting for the world to be made whole. Waiting for God's kingdom to come about.
A beautiful reminder that God loves us enough to walk in these places with us.

Christ the King -The Self Giving Way of The Kingdom of God vs the Ambitions of Empire.
We celebrate Christ the King Sunday which marks the end of the Church Calendar year. Culminating with the celebration of Jesus as King of Kings.
We find in our story today Jesus, the King, standing before Pilate (the Governor of Judea).
Pilate is asking him these four questions:
Are you king of the Jews?
What have you done?
So, you are a king?
What is truth?
In this insightful sermon, Jen talks us through the story and the background and the very important perspective and situation that we are finding Jesus and Pilate in.
What's the difference between the Kingdom of God and the Empires of our world? The Kingdom of God inverts Empire. Good news for the poor, liberty to the captives, recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, and to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.
Did we care for those that Empire tramples? The hungry? The thirsty? The prisoners? With Christ's help we can reject the ambitions of Empire and follow the self giving love and way of Jesus.
What is truth?
Jesus is truth, Jesus is King, and Jesus loves you and loves His good creation.

Imago Dei- Created in the Image of God
In this fascinating sermon, Tim leads us into the Imago Dei. The Image of God.
One of the most amazing proclamations of our faith is that human beings are made in the image of God. What is it to be created in the image of God? Where do we find the Imago Dei? The Image of God within us? What does this mean?
Genesis tells us that we (each one of us), BOTH Male and Female, are made in the image of God.
What is the image of God? How can something be so amazing and blatantly stated and yet for some of us we find ourselves struggling with it and caught in compromise?
How do we find the Imago Dei and "live into it"?
from our reading today in Colossians:
*"Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have stripped off the old self with its practices and have clothed yourselves with the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of its creator. In that renewal there is no longer Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free; but Christ is all and in all!
As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."*

Join us for Canon Tim Clayton's sermon:
King of Hope:
Hold on to Hope, Shine Like Stars Against the Darkness
From our scripture reading today in Philippians 2:
'Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain. But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. '
There is an energy that God works that will never be blunted out. A movement of God and of love that cannot be stopped and that will be restored.
Kings want to shine, they want to be adored, but Jesus the King of Kings humbly goes with those who would arrest him in the garden.
In the end we hold onto hope because we know that Jesus gets the final word, because He is worthy, because He has earned it.
When we see through the lies of this age and of evil men who would make themselves kings, and when we instead hold onto Jesus; when we are honest, real, true and vulnerable, bringing all that we are into following Jesus and his self-giving love; then as Paul says we, "may become blameless and pure, 'children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.' Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life.
Trinity North Shore and the church world wide is called into this beautiful way of following Jesus.
*"I am not an optimist because I'm not sure everything ends well, nor am I a pessimist because I am not sure everything ends badly, I just carry hope in my heart.
Hope is the feeling that life and work have a meaning, you either have it or you don't. Regardless of the state of the world that surrounds you.
Life without hope is an empty, boring, and useless life. I cannot imagine that I could strive for something if I did not carry hope in me.
I am thankful to God for this gift. It is as big as life itself.
Truth and love will overcome lies and hatred. Nothing is more powerful than individuals acting out of their own conscience. Courage means going against majority opinion in the name of the truth, and it is not enough to stare up the steps, we must step up the stairs."

Join us for Mother Wendy Dixon's sermon:
All Saints
From our Scripture in Revelation 7:
After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”
Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, clothed in white robes, and from where have they come?” I said to him, “Sir, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
“Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence.
They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore;
the sun shall not strike them, nor any scorching heat.
For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd,
and he will guide them to springs of living water,
and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
In this lovely sermon, Wendy invites us into some of the stories of the saints in her own journey, and throughout history. Many of them social reformers supporting humanitarian, prison, health, and immigration reforms. Poets, writers, teachers, translators, musicians, lawyers, scholars, composers, farmers, fisherman, community builders, national and international leaders, philosophers, etc. etc. Each according to the gifts and talents they've been given. Reminding us how we too fit into the story of ALL the saints within our own callings, vocations, families and neighborhoods.

Join us for Canon Tim Clayton's sermon: Regaining the Initiative to Love
From Romans chapter 12:
I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God...
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; do not claim to be wiser than you are. Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all. If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave room for the wrath of God; for it is written, ‘Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.’ No, ‘if your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them something to drink; for by doing this you will heap burning coals on their heads.’ Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
One of the key questions for the church today in our moment, in our society, is how do we regain the initiative? Like our incarnate God, Jesus showed up for us and for all humankind declaring his love for us and for all creation, how do we show up for our neighbors and say that "we love you"?
We don't want to be in a place where we are defensive and over reacting all the time.
We don't want to be in a place where we are consumed by vitriol.
These things are not easy. In today's sermon Tim shares some insights on how we can take the initiative to love our neighbors, to hear their hearts, to share in their joys and sorrows, to love them as Christ loves each of us.

Christian Freedom - The Freedom to Maintain Gospel Integrity
Galatians 5:
For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore...
...the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things.
Christian Freedom or The Freedom to Maintain Gospel Integrity
is actually the "energy" that spreads the gospel.
Sometimes it's great to have reminders of various saints, pastors, and church leaders who've gone before us and lived through difficult times.
Today Tim takes a look at the stories of German pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer. When you look back in history at difficult times, things can seem black and white now that time has passed, but in those moments sometimes the people can miss what is right in front of their face. In 1930s Germany you could have heard very different teachings from Lutheran Churches on the same Sunday. Bonhoeffer was teaching, "if there's anyone who claims he alone can save our society, that is idolatry, only Jesus can save us."
Bonhoeffer, along with Swiss theologian Karl Barth in Germany raised the banner for what it means to follow Jesus Christ and stood together against Hitler, preaching the good news of Jesus Christ, though many of their well meaning "christian" brothers and sisters stood with Hitler as "Storm Troopers for Christ". The Barmen Declaration of 1934 declared that "only Jesus is our Savior" and was a call to resistance against the theological claims of the Nazi state, including defining the Christian opposition of any interpretation of Christianity based on racial theories, and was signed by both Bonhoeffer and Barth, but only 20% of the German pastors/church leaders at the time would sign the declaration. 80% of them supported the Nazi state.
Paul in Galatians 5 spends a lot of time talking about Christian Freedom,
because it really matters to Paul.
For freedom's sake Christ has set us free; Stand Firm therefore; Don't forget where you come from and what your story is; The only thing that counts is faith working itself out within love; You were called to Freedom - Live by the Spirit...
Love, Joy, Peace, Kindness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Patience, Self Control
Paul reminds us to stand firm in the freedom gifted to you by Jesus Christ.
Our scripture today from Galatians chapter 5:
"For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore...
By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit."Sunday Mornings

Join us for Canon Tim Clayton's sermon: Peace Amidst Chaos-How Do We Live Within the Peace of God?
What do we do when the name of Jesus is associated with violence?
How do we respond when the name of Jesus is associated with denigrating women, minorities, and refugees? How do we respond when our beautiful Lord and Savior is associated with a "shaman", an attempted insurrection, and sexual assault? How do we find the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control – seem lost as an ethic of morality or of masculinity?
When we find ourselves deeply troubled and full of sorrow that some in the American church pretend that these things have not happened, where is Jesus? and how do we find the peace of God?
In this caring, loving, and thoughtful sermon, Tim shares some insights into being with Jesus, the Prince of Peace in the chaos and confusion. How we can learn to present ourselves before the cross of Christ and walk ourselves through to the empty grave.
The good news is that we are not alone in these struggles. Bonhoeffer and others spoke out against the rise of fascism in Germany. Wilberforce spoke out against slavery in England. The church fathers and apostles shared with their generation the beautiful story of Jesus Christ against the power of Rome and of Caesar.
Tim reminds us to remember in thanksgiving those great things that God has done in our lives, to recall them, to thank God for them; to think on the self giving love, goodness, and kindness of Jesus; remember to present ourselves before the cross of Christ, and walk ourselves through to the empty grave, and welcome the spirit of Jesus into our lives.
Our scripture today from Eugene Peterson's translation of Phillipians 4: 4-9:
*Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in him! Make it as clear as you can to all you meet that you’re on their side, working with them and not against them. Help them see that the Master is about to arrive. He could show up any minute!
Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.*Sunday Mornings

The real answer is probably because we love our animals and pets. And so for one Sunday a year we bring our creatures with us and we bless them. For Trinity North Shore however, many of us bring our beloved creatures to service every week that we meet outdoors.
We love to be connected to God, our neighbors, and to all of Creation.
It's God's creation, and of course, "it is good".
But the main reason the church keeps this one Sunday to celebrate St. Francis, is because as G.K. Chesterton notes, "in Francis, the church has resolved a tension between the spiritual things and the created things."
Yet, Francis' story is a most remarkable journey. One that serves as a great encouragement to each of us. Join us for this fascinating history and insight into one of the most beloved Saints in the history of the world.

Join us for Mako Nagasawa sermon: Creation Tide 5: Holy Michael and All Angels
We continue this season of Creation Tide with a look at Ezekiel chapter 1.
Mako reflects on angels, their role, our relationship to them, and what they teach us because they too are part of God's creation. We look at how Ezekiel sees the angels in God's temple and how he reacts to them and what that means for our lives today. How we participate in what the Cherubim represent and what they signify for us. How the angels remind us that God does not give up on us.
From our scripture in Ezekiel chapter 1:
*As I looked, a stormy wind came out of the north: a great cloud with brightness around it and fire flashing forth continually, and in the middle of the fire, something like gleaming amber. In the middle of it was something like four living creatures. This was their appearance: they were of human form. Each had four faces, and each of them had four wings. Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the sole of a calf’s foot; and they sparkled like burnished bronze. Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. And the four had their faces and their wings thus: their wings touched one another; each of them moved straight ahead, without turning as they moved.
As for the appearance of their faces: the four had the face of a human being, the face of a lion on the right side, the face of an ox on the left side, and the face of an eagle; such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above; each creature had two wings, each of which touched the wing of another, while two covered their bodies. Each moved straight ahead; wherever the spirit would go, they went, without turning as they went. In the middle of the living creatures there was something that looked like burning coals of fire, like torches moving to and fro among the living creatures; the fire was bright, and lightning issued from the fire. The living creatures darted to and fro, like a flash of lightning.*
We pray that you would invite Jesus to work the soil of your inner self.

Join us for Mother Jen Keifer's sermon: Creation Tide 4: Gardening Together With God
We continue this season of Creation Tide with another insightful sermon from Jen. From our scripture in Revelation Chapter 21:
(from the First Nations Version (of the NT), An Indigenous Translation of the New Testament.)
*'I heard a voice coming from the seat of honor. “Behold!” the voice said. “the Great Spirit has pitched his sacred tent among human beings. They will be his people, and Creator himself will make his home among them and will be their Great Spirit. He will perform a wiping of tears ceremony, for death will be no more. There will be no sorrow, or weeping, or pain, because these former things have faded away.”
Then the one on the seat of honor spoke again. “Behold!” he said, “I am making all things fresh and new.” Then he added, “Write these words down, for they are true and trustworthy.” '*
Creation Tide 4:
As we continue the story of growing together in the Garden of God's Goodness, how can we learn to garden together with God?
Mother Jen invites us into a fresh vision of God's love for His Creation.
The Book of Genesis tells us in the Hebrew that "God BEGAN creating" and that God's creative action continues. We wouldn't have life if God didn't stay PRESENT with us continuing to create life. Sustaining both the massive stars, suns and planets to the tiniest microbes, cells, atoms and those things invisible to the human eye. He is present. It's not a one time act, but an ongoing presence. The preservation of old things is just as much a creative act as is speaking something new out of nothing.
Gardening is not easy work. It's not easily controlled and influenced by external factors like soil, sunlight, and rain. But we can nurture the context and trust God to continue His good work of creation in our lives, in the lives of our family, friends, and neighbors, and in the nature around us.
We pray that you would invite Jesus to work the soil of your inner self.

Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon: Creation Tide 3: Jesus, The Caring Gardener of Our Lives
We continue this season of Creation Tide with another insightful sermon from Tim. From our scripture in John chapter 20: (from the First Nations Version, An Indigenous Translation of the New Testament.)
*"Early on the first day of the week, Strong Tears (Mary) from Tower of Creator’s High Lodge (Magala) came to the burial cave while it was still dark. She saw the stone was moved…
(Later, she went back to the garden.)
Her heart was on the ground as she stood outside the cave, weeping. As the tears ran down her face, she looked inside. There she saw two spirit-messengers dressed in white. They were sitting, one at the head, the other at the feet, of where the body of Creator Sets Free (Jesus) had once lain.
They looked at her and said, “Honored woman, why do you weep?”
“My Wisdomkeeper is gone,” she answered, “and I do not know where they have taken him.”
She turned around to see a man standing behind her. It was Creator Sets Free (Jesus), but she did not recognize him.
“Honored woman, why the tears?” he said to her. “Who are you looking for?”
She thought he was the keeper of the garden, so she said, “If you have carried him away, tell me where, and I will find him.”
“Strong Tears (Mary),” he said to her (in a soft and kind voice.)
“Rabboni!” she said, meaning Wisdom-keeper…
Strong Tears (Mary) then went and found the followers of Creator Sets Free (Jesus) and said, “I have seen our Wisdom-keeper!”
She then told them everything she had heard from him."*
Creation Tide 3:
As we continue the story of growing together in the Garden of God's Goodness, is it legitimate to say that we are a Garden of God's Goodness, and that Jesus is at the center of it?
Where does the story of Jesus begin?
Ancient Christians would start Jesus' story at his baptism. When Jesus is baptized he is going "into the water", and a voice from heaven speaks, "this is my beloved son with whom I am well pleased". It's a moment where the whole of creation is being reset, and we are told as soon as he came up from the baptism, the "Spirit drove him into the wilderness". Jesus is the second Adam, or Adam again. Jesus is there in the wilderness, with the creation, the wild, the beasts, the creation. He is also fasting, intentionally identifying with us as a human. Then, even as Satan comes to tempt Adam in the Garden of Eden, he now comes to tempt Jesus (the second Adam) in the wilderness, to try and derail the "reset" of creation that God is doing through Jesus Christ.
We pray that you would invite Jesus to work the soil of your inner self.

May the peace of God be with you today.
Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon: Creation Tide 2: You are a Garden that God is Tending
We continue this season of Creationtide with another thought provoking sermon from Tim.
From our scripture in Genesis:
"God blessed them (Adam and Eve):
...Be responsible for the fish in the sea and the birds in the air, and for every living thing that moves on the face of Earth.”
-Genesis 1:28
In this insightful sermon, Tim looks at 3 questions as we continue our journey through Creation Tide:
-Does Genesis 3 and the fall of mankind cancel out Genesis 2 and God's instructions for us to care for the earth and creation?
-Why does the bible begin with a garden and end with a city?
-In the New Testament the church is called the Body of Christ and the Bride of Christ, so can we actually refer to the church as a garden?
-How do we have hope? How do you engender hope?
Hope is a muscle, you have to use it, you have to exercise it, you have to feed it nutritious food.The soil of our hearts get tilled, softened, and turned over so that new seeds can be sown into our hearts.
God's creation is to Him a garden. Our lives to God are gardens.
Can you imagine your life as a garden that God is tending and working and keeping? Can you imagine our church as a garden that God is tending and working and keeping? Can you imagine yourself as a fruit bearer in God's garden? Deeply loved and cared for?
Our prayer: Oh Lord, grow us as a garden of your goodness.
History of Creation Tide: The Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew (Eastern Orthodox) proposed in 1989 that September 1st (the first day of the Orthodox Church year) should be observed as a day “of protection of the natural environment”. In 2016, Pope Francis declared 1 September an annual World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. This was expanded in Europe to be a season — Creationtide — going from September 1st until October 4th (the Feast of St Francis), and has been adopted in many churches around the world, including some in the Anglican Communion.

May the peace of God be with you today.
Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon: Creationtide 1: Your Heart is a Garden in Which God Desires to Grow Goodness
We begin this season of Creationtide with a lovely sermon from Tim.
From our scripture in Colossians 1: *(from the First Nations Version (of the NT), An Indigenous Translation of the New Testament.)
"He is the one who is in first place and the head of all things. It is in him that all things come together and find their full meaning and purpose. He is also the head of his body (on earth), the sacred family. He is in first place before all other things, the first to rise to life from among those who have died. In this way, he remains chief in all things.
It made our Great Father’s heart glad to have all that he is living in his Son. Through his Son he brought together everything in the spirit-world above and on the earth below into harmony with himself, making peace through his life-blood poured out on the cross."*
Your Heart is a Garden - In Which God Desires to Grow Goodness.
This means that our church community is a garden in which God longs to grow His goodness. It means that your existence and your "being" is a beautiful thing. God is inviting us into His peace, into the understanding that in His eyes and heart, we are each beautifully and wonderfully made.
The Word of God (Jesus Christ) reigns because He deserves too. Because He gave Himself out of self-giving love and therefore "death" had no right over Him and Jesus defeated death and came back as the first SEED of new life. The love of God is truly the source and the goal of ALL that is. That may seem like a "big cosmic thing", but it's really a deeply personal reality for each one of us, just as we are.

Join us for Sophie Clayton-Gross' sermon, The Minor Prophets 8: Malachi - Does God Really Love Us?
The Books of the Minor Prophets are simply shorter books.
But the beauty of the Minor Prophet books is that because they are shorter, they tend to get right to the point and "name" the issues at hand.
"And so you say..." The prophet Malachi uses this term again and again to help communicate with the people of Israel. The book is a reminder that our love and commitment to God and to loving our neighbors should be primarily "transactional". At the time of it's writing, the Israelites have been waiting for a long time, suffering, and having real doubts about God and God's love for Israel. Sometimes in the reality of our world we can be buried in despair. In the Book of Malachi we learn that God has not turned away from us, nor forgotten us no matter how troubling or lonely life can get.
Sophie invites us to remember the invitation to "relationship" and remember that God is love, that we were created by Love and for Love and relationship with one another and with the Creator of All.

May the peace of God be with you today.
Join us for Mother Jen Keifer's sermon: Minor Prophets 7, Amos: Establishing Justice
The Books of the Minor Prophets are simply shorter books.
But the beauty of the Minor Prophet books is that because they are shorter, they tend to get right to the point and "name" the issues at hand.
In this insightful sermon, looking at the words of the prophet Amos, calling on Israel to:
"Seek good and not evil,
that you may live;
and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you,
just as you have said.
Hate evil and love good,
and establish justice in the gate;
it may be that the Lord, the God of hosts,
will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph."
Jen connects this passage with Christ who both taught justice and lived justly. What did Jesus say and do regarding justice?
Christ spoke often about justice, especially reminding us to love and care for the poor and the marginalized. We do the work of justice through the work of our love for God and our neighbors.
"the Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has appointed me to proclaim good news to the poor, to proclaim liberty to the captives, recovery of sight to the blind, liberty to the oppressed, and to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor..." Early in Jesus' ministry he proclaims his ministry to the poor, the sick, the oppressed, and the captives. The lost, the least, and the last.
In the Sermon on the Mount, the Greek word, dikaiosýni is used multiple times. Some english translators use the word "righteousness" as the translation but the word is more encompassing and actually means, "justice, fairness, equity,"
Understanding this, we can see the words from Christ in the sermon on the mount:
-"blessed are those who hunger and thirst for justice/fairness/equity, for they will be filled"
-"blessed are those who are persecuted for fairness/justice/equity, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven"
-"for I tell you, unless your justice/fairness/equity exceeds that of the scribes and pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.."
The Kingdom that Jesus brings is the Kingdom of Justice/Fairness/Equity.
This ever flowing river through the scriptures of the theme of Justice, Equity, Fairness, (dikaiosýni) continues through Paul's ministry as he prays for us in Philippians, "And this is my prayer, that your love may overflow more and more with knowledge and full insight to help you to determine what is best, so that on the day of Christ you may be pure and blameless, having produced the harvest of dikaiosýni (justice, fairness, equity) that comes through Jesus Christ for the glory and praise of God."

Join us for Mother Wendy Dixon's sermon: Minor Prophets 6, Hosea: A Call to the Church from Our God, Who Lifts Infants to His Cheek
The Books of the Minor Prophets are simply shorter books.
But the beauty of the Minor Prophet books is that because they are shorter, they tend to get right to the point and "name" the issues at hand.
Join us for this insightful sermon as Wendy shares some perspectives from the story of the prophet Hosea.
From Hosea chapter 11,
"Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk,
I took them up in my arms;
but they did not know that I healed them.
I led them with cords of human kindness,
with bands of love.
I was to them like those
who lift infants to their cheeks.
I bent down to them and fed them."
Christ has no body now on earth, but ours. God calls us to share unearned love with one another and the community around us, just as we do for our little ones. We are called to be the chords of human kindness, with bands of love.
It may not always make sense what you're going through in life, but the God who lifts infants to His Cheek is always with you, offering an increase of faith, of hope, of love that we may obtain His promises.

Join us for Trevor Jones' sermon: Minor Prophets 5, Jonah - A Prophet Like No Other
The Books of the Minor Prophets are simply shorter books.
But the beauty of the Minor Prophet books is that because they are shorter, they tend to get right to the point and "name" the issues at hand.
Jonah:
When and where does the Book of Jonah really come from?
What do we know about Jonah aside from his appearance in the Book of Jonah, and his prophecy in the Book of 2 Kings to King Jeroboam the Second?
Another interesting point is that we don't know of any other prophets who disobeyed the Lord, other than Jonah. So what can we learn from what Jonah is thinking about, what he's learning about, and what's happening in his life?
In this fascinating teaching, Trevor unpacks the story of Jonah and how it deeply relates to each of our own lives. From Jonah 3:10-4: 1 "When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented and did not bring on them the destruction he had threatened. But to Jonah this seemed very wrong, and he became angry."
Where does this all land? What's the home base that we can rely on? The co-suffering, unconditional love and care that God has for each one of us.

Esther:
Join us as Matt takes us through the powerful and beautiful story of Esther, and shares how it can help us in the context of some of the issues that we all face today. The story takes place against the backdrop of a brutal society that oppresses women, Jews, and anyone who is not in a position of power. Orphaned, trafficked, vulnerable, and imprisoned for a year before she is presented to King Xerxes, Esther follows the advice of Mordecai, and ultimately she saves her people. Sometimes it's actually the subtle and nuanced moments and choices that have huge impacts in our lives.

The Books of the Minor Prophets are simply shorter books.
But the beauty of the Minor Prophet books is that because they are shorter, they tend to get right to the point and "name" the issues at hand.
Micah:
Micah is a contemporary of Isaiah, the Exile of Israel hasn't happened yet, but it's coming.
The prophets can see that this Exile is on the horizon. Micah pushes the people of Israel to remember who they are and to reorder their lives in the way that God desired.
He has told you, O mortal, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God? What would we look like as people who "do justice"? What would we look like as people who "love kindness and mercy"? What would it look like for each of us to "walk humbly with our God"? Can you believe that God wants to walk with us in that same way, with kindness, mercy, humbleness?
Join us for this fascinating sermon on the Book of Micah.

Join us for Canon Tim Clayton's sermon: Minor Prophets 2, Zechariah- Deeply Loved and Not Forgotten.
The Books of the Minor Prophets are simply shorter books.
But the beauty of the Minor Prophet books is that because they are shorter, they tend to get right to the point and "name" the issues at hand.
Zechariah
Questions for God: Where are you? What are you doing? Why is it taking so long? The people are waiting for 70 years. They've been counting the years, hoping for deliverance. Zechariah is the prophet that the people of his day are turning to and asking the questions of God:
Where are you? What are you doing? Why is it taking so long?
The book of Zechariah is mainly split into 2 halves
The first half is a series of dreams and visions, and a few of them reach beyond and break through to a new place, revealing what God is going to do.
This insightful sermon looks at the beautiful story of Joshua before the Lord.
Follow along with Zechariah 3: 1-10, 4.6
…This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord of hosts.”
Our opportunity and invitation from God is to be people who know that God is with us, and who understand that He deeply loves us. We walk in an unbreakable love and therefore we are able to invite others to our table to share with them to know deep inside that life is good because God loves us and God is good.

Join us for Canon Tim Clayton's sermon:
Minor Prophets, Zephaniah - Shame into Praise
Join us in this sermon series as we begin studying the Minor Prophets in the Scriptures. It seems like a long time ago that people spoke out in our culture in the "name of Jesus" and spoke about things like character, integrity, honesty, faithfulness. Now, somehow we have found ourselves in a place where the church seems to have lost it's voice and commitment to "whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable...excellent or praiseworthy". But it's only been in recent years that many in the broader American church have aligned themselves with the opposite of these graces.
This week Tim looks at the Book of Zephaniah and how God turns our shame into praise. Reminding us that these prophets didn't lose sight of who God is, and of His faithfulness, love, and commitment to each one of us. That within His love, he dissolves our shame into praise.
Zephaniah 3: 14-20
Sing aloud, O daughter Zion;
shout, O Israel!
Rejoice and exult with all your heart,
O daughter Jerusalem!
The Lord has taken away the judgements against you,
he has turned away your enemies.
The king of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst;
you shall fear disaster no more.
On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem:
Do not fear, O Zion;
do not let your hands grow weak.
The Lord, your God, is in your midst,
a warrior who gives victory;
he will rejoice over you with gladness,
he will renew you in his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing
as on a day of festival.
I will remove disaster from you,
so that you will not bear reproach for it.
I will deal with all your oppressors
at that time.
And I will save the lame
and gather the outcast,
and I will change their shame into praise
and renown in all the earth.
At that time I will bring you home,
at the time when I gather you;
for I will make you renowned and praised
among all the peoples of the earth,
when I restore your fortunes
before your eyes, says the Lord.

Join us for Canon Tim Clayton's sermon: Ordaining Women - Women in Ministry
In this thought provoking sermon Tim looks at the importance of not just having "Fathers in God", but of also having "Mothers in God". This sermon isn't to argue the specifics of ordaining women, instead it looks at the importance of recognizing and honoring God's work throughout the church and the world with the leadership and ministry of both men and women. A fascinating and thoughtful sermon on a topic that is very important to our church and to the story of the gospel throughout the world.

Join us for Mother Wendy Dixon's sermon:
Be Enwrapped - Connecting with God.
Wendy concludes this sermon series with an insightful perspective about the sense of loneliness that can sometimes affect our feelings about God.
The "gap" is a type of loneliness that affects each one of us since the fall of Adam and Eve. She describes this gap as a type of separation from God. Should we want to draw closer to God to bridge the "gap" we are feeling? Wendy encourages us that we allow ourselves be enwrapped in the presence of God within us and all around us. Learning to let our seemingly "little human lives" be linked with the very "life of God".
Today's scripture from Psalm 92:
1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord,
and to sing praises unto your Name, O Most High,
2 To tell of your loving-kindness early in the morning,
and of your faithfulness in the night season,
3 Upon an instrument of twelve strings and upon the lute,
with the sound of melody upon the harp.
4 For you, Lord, have made me glad by your deeds,
and I will shout for joy because of your handiwork.
5 O Lord, how glorious are your works;
your thoughts are very deep.
6 The dull of heart does not consider this,
and a fool does not understand it:
7 Though the ungodly are as green as the grass, and though all the workers of wickedness flourish,
they shall be destroyed for ever; but you, Lord, are the Most High for evermore.
8 For lo, your enemies, O Lord, lo, your enemies shall perish,
and all the workers of wickedness shall be destroyed.
9 But my horn shall be exalted like the horns of wild bulls;
for I am anointed with fresh oil.
10 My eye also shall see its desire upon my enemies,
and my ear shall hear with joy the end of the wicked who rise up against me.
11 The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree,
and shall spread abroad like a cedar in Lebanon.
12 Those who are planted in the house of the Lord
shall flourish in the courts of our God.
13 They also shall bring forth fruit in their old age,
and shall be green and full of sap,
14 That they may show how upright the Lord is,
my rock, in whom there is no unrighteousness

May the peace of God be with you today.
Join us for Mother Wendy Dixon's sermon:
Beware the Traps - Connecting with God.
Does there have to be a gap between us and God?
We've all felt it. Maybe during times of confusion or grief, maybe during times of loneliness or anguish.
What can help us to be close to God especially in times of trouble.
What are the traps? Wendy suggests that two core traps are "Energy" and "Time". Longing and wanting to be closer to God is key.
"The soul must long for God in order to be set aflame by God's love..."
But what can we do to fuel those flames when sometimes we just don't have those desires? What are the obstacles, and behaviors that can entrap us? What practices and spiritual formations can help us to close the gap?
Wendy guides us towards a closer intimacy with Jesus and a deeper look at the Psalmists prayer in Psalm 130,
1 Out of the deep have I called unto you, O Lord;
Lord, hear my voice.
2 O let your ears consider well
the voice of my supplications.
3 If you, Lord, were to mark what is done amiss,
O Lord, who could abide it?
4 For there is mercy with you;
therefore you shall be feared.
5 I wait for the Lord; my soul waits for him;
in his word is my trust.
6 My soul waits for the Lord,
more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.
7 O Israel, trust in the Lord, for with the Lord there is mercy,
and with him is plenteous redemption;
8 And he shall redeem Israel
from all their sins.

Ordinary Time
Wendy shares an insightful perspective about the sense of loneliness that can sometimes affect our feelings about God. The "gap" is a sense of loneliness that affects each of us since the fall of Adam and Eve. A sense of separation from God. Should we want to draw closer to God to bridge the "gap" we are feeling? Remembering who God is as the Psalmist does can help us to re-center our thoughts and feelings.
As Psalm 36 reminds us:
Your unfailing love, O Lord, is as vast as the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.
Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains,
your justice like the ocean depths.
You care for people and animals alike, O Lord.
How precious is your unfailing love, O God!
All humanity finds shelter
in the shadow of your wings.
You feed them from the abundance of your own house,
letting them drink from your river of delights.
For you are the fountain of life,
the light by which we see.
What are the obstacles, and behaviors that can entrap us? What practices and spiritual formations can help us to close the gap?

May the peace of God be with you today.
Join us for Canon Tim Clayton's sermon: Leading with Beauty.
The Holy Trinity - Trinity Sunday
In this impactful sermon, Tim takes us through church history and the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. Beneath the banners of Faith, Hope, and Love, the church has historically put forward the ideas of following truth, goodness, and beauty, in that particular order. Thinking that if we could show people the truth, we could get them to do good things and find beauty in their lives, and so Faith, Hope, and Love would lead people to what is True, Good, and Beautiful.
A dogma should be something so wonderful, so glorious, that it defies easy categories. But how do we address the challenge that when people are so wounded by broken trust, that they become unable to trust authority.
Hans Urs von Balthasar in the 1960s saw that Truth, Goodness, and Beauty should be flipped, and instead we should lead with Beauty. Beauty does not merely entertain, it invades. It changes the one who absorbs it, rearranging us and sending us on a trajectory towards the open sea of the beauty of God. The beauty of God shows us that when we live the good, we authenticate with our lives that we are all made "good" by our loving creator, which in turn leads us towards living more completely in the truth of God's co-suffering unconditional love for us and for our neighbors, and for all creation.
This is a trinitarian way of living in the world. We know the beauty of these beliefs, this is who we are called to be, to carry the beauty and mystery of the Holy Trinity.

Pentecost
Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon:
Pentecost
Join us for this inspiring sermon as we look at the story of Pentecost, and the birth of the church.
Why did the early church grow to the place where it got itself "in trouble"?
Why did people come from all over the Roman empire to visit and experience something in the central place where the community of the church was, and had made ripples in the empire of Rome and all of its social hierarchy? Because of the Spirit of Jesus. Not as some "other thing", but as the charisma, the persona, the energy, the "life" of Jesus, alive and fresh in this small community. In them, close to them, filling them.
The communities that were born after Pentecost, reflected the way Jesus interacted with the world. Jesus, who was and is, great enough, strong enough, mighty enough, to have humbled himself and laid down his life out of love for his friends. What does this mean for our lives today?

Easter Week 7
Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon:
Ascension Day - Psalm 23
We continue our look at Psalm 23 and Ascension Day.
New life that lasts forever.
Join us for this insightful sermon as we continue walking through the story of Jesus in his ministry through the lens of his understanding of where he is going in his life, through death, to the resurrection, and to his ascension.
Ascension Day - 40 days after Easter - Ash Wednesday is 40 days before Easter. Swinging a hinge from the one day a year we talk about death and remember that we are dust (Ash Wednesday), through the cross and death of Jesus on Good Friday, to the Resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday, all the way to the day of Christ's ascension to heaven. 40 days before Easter to 40 days after Easter.
As we continue our look deeper at Psalm 23, we remember that Jesus identified deeply with this Psalm, as it quietly parallels the Lord's Prayer. In particular we remember that, "surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life..."
What does this tell us about the plan of God?
God creates out of nothing, creates out of love, creates with a desire for relationship with His creation. The ultimate proof that LOVE is the core of all that exists is that it was known before the creation of the world that Christ would suffer, die, and rise again from the dead.

A King After God's Own Heart
Join us for this inspiring sermon as we continue walking through the story of Jesus in his ministry through the lens of his understanding of where he is going in his life, through death, and to the resurrection.
We continue our look at Psalm 23 walking along with Jesus on the Road to Emmaus. "Don't be slow of heart to believe all that the prophets taught, that the Christ must suffer and die before he enters into his glory..."
God knows the depths of the mess at all levels, for every tribe, language, group and nation. Jesus knew the full story, the long story, the journey through death to the resurrection.
"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not be afraid, for you are with me..." The beauty of the psalmist understanding the closeness of God with him, parallels Jesus reminding his disciples that, "I am with you always, even to the end of the age".

The Good Shepherd

Where did Jesus get his teachings from?
Do you ever think about that?
In many ways we know from his teachings that Jesus identified deeply with the Prophet Isaiah and also with the Psalms. How does this idea that God is our shepherd relate to each one of us in every area of our life? May Jesus restore your soul today and every day.

The Confidence of the Earliest Followers of Jesus
What does it take to get confidence?
How do you get it if you don't have it?
Join us as Tim looks at this fascinating story from the gospel of Matthew 28, as a true reminder of how we can have confidence in Jesus.
*And just then some people were carrying a paralysed man lying on a bed.
Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. When they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted.
And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.’*Join us Sunday Mornings at 10 am on Boston's North Shore in Hamilton, MA.

Easter Week 3
Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon:
As in Heaven, Also on Earth: I am Here With You, You're Not On Your Own
This Easter season we continue our look at Resurrection Life.
There's something about Jesus' life and teaching that shows us that he understands the moments of his life and his purpose, who he will minister too, who he will teach and break bread with, and ultimately where he will go: to the cross, into the grave, and alive again back from the grave. There is an awareness in Jesus' teaching on forgiveness that assumed the resurrection would happen. When we forgive we make space for God's kingdom to be REAL in the world around us. Take heart, your sins are forgiven.

Resurrection Life: Living in the Eternal Present
This Easter season we continue our look at Resurrection Life.
Tim's insightful sermon helps lead us deeper into the resurrection of Jesus Christ and what it means for each one us in our life today.
How does the promise of resurrection meet us now?
How does the promise of resurrection life change the color of life for us today? Jesus did everything, knowing that his dying would lead to his resurrection. That He would heal the whole of creation and new life for each one of us in our whole life. Jesus' resurrection makes living in the "eternal present" with God possible.

Easter Sunday
Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon:
The Love at the Center of All that Is
This Easter Sunday Tim introduces us to our new Easter sermon series.
Tim walks us through the good news that "because He lives, I can face tomorrow..." touching on 4 main areas:
Beauty, Pain, and Boredom, a conversation about the meaning of life;
Forgiveness and Forgiving Your Enemies; Identity; and The Power of Empire and the Cross.
The major claim of the apostles after Jesus was risen from the dead that "Jesus is Lord" was directly subversive in a culture that regularly called on its citizens to declare that the Roman Ruler and Emperor, "Caeser is Lord". No matter what you are facing today, tomorrow, or the next; because He lives we can face tomorrow... Amen.

Lent Week 5
Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon:
Saint Patrick and The Wounded God
This week Tim takes a fascinating look at the story of St. Patrick and some of the things that we may not be aware of in Patrick's ministry.
St. Patrick is attributed with the third Christian witness against slavery.
The New Testament is the first, the second is Gregory of Nyssa one of the early fathers of the church. Patrick's journey to faith is unique and different and his unique perspective on slavery is because he was also trafficked.
A beautiful story of hope in the midst of devastating circumstances.

Crawling, Walking, Running:
Jesus Withdrew to the Mountain, Finding Rest in a Busy World
As a well known New England Spiritual Director, Wendy has a lot of insight into this area of finding rest. In this sermon she reminds us that when we commit to withdrawing from our "busyness", when we sit down and rest our minds and bodies to listen to God and spend time with Him, we become aware of God's presence as He is already near to us, present to us in a way we can discern.
Through solitude, listening, conversation with God, or sitting and receiving his deep love and rest, then when we rise up we carry that presence with us. In our church we desire to connect with God, and we can see this modeled in the life of Jesus. Jesus withdrew to the mountain by himself. We can do this in our own lives.

Lent Week 3-
Join us for Bishop Andrew Williams' sermon:
The Last, The Least, The Lost, and the Little.
Andrew shares a timely message for the church in every season.
Jesus is encouraging us to stand with the marginalized, to stand in the void and allow Him to reconnect the last, the least, the lost, and the little with God's promises and His unending love.
We understand that the church is not a "select circle of the immaculate", rather it is a mobile field hospital to minister the healing love of Jesus to the last, the least, the lost, and the little. Whether we know it, or our neighbors know it or not, Jesus is at work actively in each one of our lives.
Many people in our communities have given up on God, have given up on mercy, they believe there's no redemption for them; and just like us, so many people need their wounds healed. The church is the continuing outworking of Jesus Christ. The church is who we are, what we do, more than what we "say". We are called to heal the wounds of the heart, to open doors, to set the captives free, to stand in the void and to share the good news, that God is GOOD. That through the cross of Jesus, God forgives all, that God is our loving father, that Jesus is right here and He is faithful.

Crawling, Walking, Running:
Learning to Grow Completely Into Who God Knows We Can Be
As we continue our journey through Lent, a season of reflection, Matt takes a wonderful look at Hebrews 12, reminding us that God has something better in mind for each one of us. Looking at the great cloud of witnesses who have come before us, both in scripture, throughout history, along with those in our own lives. Encouraging us to keep dreaming and pressing on towards what God has for us, even when we feel like we can't go on.
Lent is the perfect time to reflect on the areas of our life that God is lovingly nudging us towards. Matt reminds us to run your own race at your own pace.
Each of us is called to run as we are able. Sometimes a steady pace, sometimes a sprint, sometimes a stumble or fall, sometimes a marathon; yet always moving forward with God in every area of our lives, always inviting the peaceful harvest of right living that the book of Hebrews encourages.

Join us for Deacon Jen Keifer's sermon:
What is The Story of Lent?
We are creatures of story.Every culture around the globe centers on "storytelling". Each of us are lovingly created to live out a particular story of our own, in a particular time and place, all of our stories are held in God's grand act of God's story.
Jen shares a fascinating message reminding us of our own stories, God's story, and that especially during the season of Lent, that many things can be true at the same time; we are more sinful and flawed than we could have imagined, and yet we are more deeply loved than we could ever imagine. A reminder from St. Paul, "That you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge..."

Join us for Mother Wendy Dixon's sermon:
The Transfiguration of Jesus
In this moment on Mount Tabor (a hill in Israel),
Jesus was shifting his focus off of the miracles his disciples had witnessed Jesus doing,and onto WHO HE IS. Unlike Moses, who saw a burning bush, who's face shined with God's glory; unlike Paul who saw a bright light that blinded him on the road to Damascus; Jesus was transfigured in this moment and ablaze with the supernatural brightness of heaven.
They were seeing the Divine, otherworldly, Jesus in all his glory.
With grace and kindness, Wendy brilliantly walks us through this important and powerful story of the Transfiguration of Jesus. May God transform each one of us and make us ready and eager to grow in love for God and for one another.

Epiphany - The Presentation of Jesus
In the past months we've walked through a season of waiting in the darkness hoping for the light (Advent), a season of celebrating (Christmas), and the last few weeks through the season of Epiphany wherein we look at the light and bask in the light and on the Feast of the Presentation, that journey comes to a close. In a fascinating sermon, Tim looks at how Luke's gospel has bookended the story of the incarnation through the presentation with this simple response from both Mary and from Simeon. So that we might also have the hope to respond to God with, "Here I am, let it be done to me..."

Epiphany - An Encounter With God, Experiencing the Wonderful Authority of Jesus
What if rather than reading the stories of Jesus as "observers" we could imagine an encounter with Jesus wherein we ourselves experience the authority and wonder of Jesus. If we could learn to do this we would be seeing it for what it's meant for. We could have a whole new life. For some of us we need to rehabilitate our understanding of the authority of Jesus.
What if we could understand that Jesus would rather use his authority FOR us than ON us. Join us for this wonderful sermon from Tim.

Epiphany - The State of Our Communion
Join us as Tim shares some insights as to what we see God doing in our lives, in our community, and where we see the Lord leading us at Trinity North Shore as we move forward together in this new year. Where are we? What is God doing? As we look at the gospel of Mark and the story of John the baptist and Jesus.
Jesus shares four clear statements: Now is the time, the Kingdom of God is near, repent, and believe in the good news. Don't lose the now, don't miss this moment, don't miss what God is doing in our midst today, while looking forward to the good things to come.

January 6th - Epiphany - The Magi and The End of National Gods
In this fascinating study on Epiphany, Tim looks at the journey of the Magi and the powerful and wonderfully unique beauty of the story of Jesus.
One of the key things the gospel teaches us is that Jesus Christ is the end of "national gods".
Throughout history different peoples and nations have their "god" and they will hire a "prophet" to tell them that "their god" is gonna beat the other "god" on the battlefield. But Jesus is the end of national gods. A beautiful paradox: He's the end of national gods because Jesus is both bigger and smaller than them. They don't get born as vulnerable infants who will die. Jesus is both the "logos" (the creative word through whom all things were created, incarnate in nature), and born completely vulnerable and giving himself in self-giving love to every one of us, in every nation, tribe and tongue throughout all time. God for the WHOLE COSMOS, God for the ENTIRETY of All That IS.
Paul says in Ephesians 3, "Of this gospel I have become a servant according to the gift of God’s grace that was given to me by the working of his power. Although I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given to me to bring to the Gentiles the news of the boundless riches of Christ, and to make everyone see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things..."
This is a beautiful sermon weaving in the stories of JRR Tolkien and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. that help to reveal the beautiful story of Jesus.

Advent Week Four: Love
Join us for Canon Tim Clayton's sermon for Advent Week 4, Loved and Not Forgotten
This week we look at the beautiful story of Mary and the prayer known as the Magnificat. God has moved, Mary rejoices and declares that we have been remembered, "the Lord has helped His servant Israel remembering His mercy, as He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and his descendants through all ages..."
We know from history that the folks who lived in the area where Mary lived were quite poor; the region was occupied by a foreign power; she was to be in an arranged marriage that was probably not a big "romance", and that life had not been easy for them in any manner of speaking, and yet they had been waiting for God to move in their lives.
Her response when the angel comes to her is openness, vulnerability, complete devotion and trust in God. In our own lives there are those challenges that have been hard to "wait" through. But God has remembered and not forgotten you.

Join us for this fascinating and inspiring sermon from Cn Tim Clayton.
God now enters the story, walking through all the phases and challenges of our human life and experience so that He could identify fully with us.
What happens when God sows the seed that's going to take down empires? Things can get crazy.
Tim walks us through the Christmas story as Mary and Joseph travel to Bethlehem (which means 'The House of Bread"). They travel to the House of Bread because The Living Bread is going to be born. They go because the Bread of Life is going to sow His yeast into the fabric of history. They go because the one who gives daily bread, the very essence of being, is going to be born.
Jesus knows the places in which you long to be remembered.

Jesus, which means, God Saves.

Advent Week Three: Joy

1 Thessalonians chapter 5 encourages us to...
"Always rejoice, constantly pray, and in everything give thanks."
Join us for Wendy's touching and powerful sermon as we continue our journey through Advent.
The Good news on the Advent Sunday of Joy, is that when we fully move to Christ, we discover that in our depths, something in us wants to always rejoice, constantly pray, and in everything give thanks, for this is God's will for us. So we pray that God would help us to wait and listen, and be full of joy as He draws near to us, His bride.

Advent Week Two: Peace
Listen to Cn Tim Clayton's sermon Advent 2: Prophets and Peace
In Hebrew the word for peace is "shalom" which can mean "wholeness, delight, universal flourishing". Most of us would agree that this world needs peace at every level.
The second week of Advent is traditionally known as the week of Peace. The "peace" candle is lit, and at the same time the lectionary scripture readings can come from various "prophets", ranging from Isaiah to John the Baptist...and though the scriptures are full of prophetic words about 'peace' and 'coming peace' and the 'Prince of Peace', sometimes we don't "feel" their messages of peace within our hearts as we are navigating through some of the troubles of our lives.
This week Tim shares some insights about the message of the prophets that bring us peace; Inner peace, Social peace, Ultimate peace, and Shalom/Wholeness. The prophets are calling us to open up, to let Jesus in, so that deep peace can begin in our hearts. Let peace begin with me.

Advent Week One: Hope
Listen to Cn Tim Clayton's sermon Advent 1: Hold Onto Hope.
Join us as Tim leads us into an insightful look at Jesus' words in the gospel of Mark 13, reminding us to keep watch and to be ready for his return.
How do we get excited about the hope of God coming to his people, especially in the face of so much adversity?
What do we do when we hit scriptures that are difficult? We try to approach them with humility and openness in our hearts. We try to look at it through 3 essential lenses: what is the context leading up to the difficult passage both before and after; we try to understand the 'genre' of the text; and how it fits in with scripture overall and what we know to be true about God as we know Him.
Jesus tells us He is coming back, and that is the single best reason to believe. Did he trick anyone? Did he lie? Was he not honest with his followers? We hold onto this hope because he promised he would. We don't know how but we know who.
Rejoice, anticipate, expect, hope. We desire for God to grow in us a hope so great that we could be freed by it, that we might live into your image of self-giving love.

with Canon Tim Clayton's sermon part 3:
Re-Member, Re-Connect
The word “Eucharist” is a transliteration of the Greek word eucharistia, which is itself a translation of the Hebrew word berekah. All three words have the meaning of thanksgiving, or praise for the wonderful works of God. For the Eastern Orthodox, Eucharist is "living in thanksgiving".
As we enter this final study on Thanksgiving-Eucharist, Canon Tim Clayton shares some fascinating insights into the last supper, and the power and beauty of self-giving love. Showing us co-suffering/self-giving love, Jesus walked voluntarily into his suffering and released into the world the only thing that you 'get more of' when you 'give more of':
Love - self-giving love.
The more of it we give, the more of it returns; the more love we give, the more it grows.
When we come to the table together to receive the bread and wine, Jesus is with us and He's giving himself to us represented in the bread and wine saying, "I want to reconnect myself to you"

Join us as Wendy shares a fascinating sermon touching on the history of wine in the scriptures; how wheat and grapes are transformed into bread and wine that nourish, feed, and strengthen us; how God is continually transforming our own lives; and why it was so important for Jesus to share with the people in John's gospel, “anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise that person at the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. I live because of the living Father who sent me; in the same way, anyone who feeds on me will live because of me."

For the bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” So they said to him, “Sir, give us this bread all the time! ... I am the bread of life..."
" For the bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."
Why bread and wine? These are core foods that actually speak of more than themselves.
When we come with our hands open, we are saying "there's nothing I could pay for this gift"...When we come to receive the bread with our hands open we are also saying, "you gave yourself for me, and I also offer myself to you..." Augustine put it in a beautiful way: when we receive the body of Christ, we become the body of Christ.

Way of Love November 2023
Join us as we continue our spiritual formation class and journey, The Way of Love.
In this insightful and powerful sermon, Rev. Mako Nagasawa takes a look at the history of Anglo Saxon Christianity and God's Vision of Love for Every Nation, Tribe, and Tongue.
Mako shares insights on our own longing for community. Contending with what "whiteness" has meant and learning to embrace "ethnicity" so that we can get Christian faith back in a new way.
Historically, Anglo Saxon Christian leaders abolished slavery in the 800s, again in the 900s, and in 1102 they finally succeeded for a season. William Wilberforce drew on this past history when he AGAIN spoke out against slavery in his ministry in England in the 1800s.
Where does our longing for community lead us?
It points us to our own need to mature, and then to our own need for Jesus... Jesus calls us to hope for a community founded on Him, that is partly now, and partially coming in the future, because we are not yet perfected...Our hope in Jesus allows us to travel together now...
We persevere in truth telling, and we identify with the people of God around the world in every nation, tribe and tongue; and in all of our Christian history. We honor all the faiths, not just the latest ones trotted out by the American church.
Always remembering that Jesus is the foundation.
He has a new humanity for all humanity.
We share all things on this planet, and we share one another...
Journal questions:
At one point Mako mentioned how “whiteness” [and we might add “blackness”] are social realities invented to justify the Atlantic slave trade, displacing the natural and not-inherently-unhealthy recognition of different ethnicities. How might this realization help “white folks” realize the depths of the social ill here overall, without taking naming “whiteness” as a problem as a personal criticism?
Mako asserted that historical entanglements (intractable or massive injustices) are:
-
Important to face and deal with,
-
Best faced in the context of working towards the future Jesus has accomplished and will bring.
How do you feel about this?
One thing I reflected on during Mako’s sermon was that there is much of the history of our nation which we are not taught (at least I know I wasn’t, and this seems to be generally the case). This is not a happy thought, but there it is. This realization made me grateful for God’s love and patience and perseverance. Is this reality difficult to balance with your faith?

Coming from a time when the church had lost itself, had become rigid and less than vibrant. The story of St. Francis begins at such a time.
Tim kindly shares how we can learn from the model of St. Francis, learning to be more vulnerable, more open with God and one another, depending on Jesus and leaning on his love.

Join us as we continue with the sixth part of this series on connecting. Connecting with God. Connecting with Community. Connecting with Creation.
Connecting to Creation: learning to live in the place that God put us.
Part of what it means to be human is to connect to the Good Creation that He made for us. We are created by God and woven into the gift of His beautiful creation, and that allows us to live within our limits as a people created by God. Good things grow, it's inherent in the nature of "goodness". We are responsible to care for the Earth and all of creation around us.
Is Jesus in this? Is Christ Himself in this idea?
Where do we find Jesus in the idea of Connecting to Creation?
In this fascinating sermon, Tim looks at the story of Jesus' baptism and his journey into the wilderness fasting among the wild beasts. In the Baptism of Jesus we see the Holy Spirit hovering over the water as a dove, as Jesus is coming out of the water. The Orthodox church has always seen this moment as God re-setting creation. Hovering over the water, even as the Spirit hovered over the water in the creation story of Genesis.

Join us as we continue with the fifth part of this series on connecting. Connecting with God. Connecting with Community. Connecting with Creation.
This week Canon Tim Clayton continues with some more insights from 1 Corinthians chapter 2. Connecting with community.
“Things that no eye has seen, or ear heard, or mind imagined, are the things God has prepared for those who love him.”
When we say connecting with community, we mean of course our local church community, but we also mean "the whole community around us in our local towns and cities".
Tim encourages us to not "lose the plot".
Don't lose how special this good news of Jesus is.
How can we learn to be open and honest as a community that can let each other in, to swim in clean water and to breath fresh air. So we can be open and honest and we can let others in.
We have this special gift. That all of life is a gift; that we are blessed, have been blessed, will be blessed; that we are loved, have been loved, will be loved. That each of our lives are known and they are part of God's story.

Once a year the church calendar draws our attention to Angels, we never get too far away from the truth that God's creation involves more than we can see and sense.
Tim shares some lovely insights, and a few from theologian and Orthodox priest, Sergei Bulgakov.
God who is love, created human beings for love...
Such is the frontier for human nature.
Guardian Angels? A special agent of care for each one of us.
Tim also explores questions like, "what do we do with things that we know only a little information about?"
The understanding that God has made his angels as His messengers of love, allows for even more confidence in the depth of God's love for us, layers, depth, that we may not be aware of. In God's great love he has also created angels, as His servants and messengers to us about God and his great love.

Doubts, Questions and Wounded Healers
Reverend Jake Strumm of the Anglican Relief and Development Fund shares with us some profound and inspiring thoughts as we look at the story of Jesus and Thomas.
We pick up the story as we find the followers of Jesus completely devastated and scattered after their friend and brother has died.
Jake shares some powerful stories about the work of God and Christians throughout the world, coming alongside those who have been devastated by natural disasters, poverty, upheaval.
We remember that each of us has been wounded in different ways in our lives. Physically, emotionally, spiritually. We learn from Jesus who has been wounded, and yet He welcomes his friend, Thomas and his doubts up close.
We may doubt God because of so many natural disasters, devastations, death, and atrocities; but then we see people experiencing the disaster, and they're demonstrating great faith in God, and it puts us in check.
When we are tempted to doubt God because of the way the Church is behaving, we also see authentic Christians all over the world demonstrating grace and displays of Christ-like service to one another, and it puts us in check.
Jake reminds us that the Church is Called to be in the rubble with people.
When people are going through hard times, we are called to engage.
When we are in the rubble with people, (the challenges, the heartbreaks, the devastations) then we are truly doing the work of Jesus and fulfilling what we are called to, to love our neighbor, to love one another as He has loved us.
May each of us discover the paradox of our beautiful wounds.
May each of us become wounded healers in our spheres of influence.
May we remember that we are always welcomed by God to bring our "doubting Thomas" hearts to Jesus each and every day.

Join us as we continue with the third part of this series on connecting. Connecting with God. Connecting with Community. Connecting with Creation.
This week Canon Tim Clayton continues with some more insights from the Acts of the Apostles chapter 17. Connecting with God.
From Acts 17: 22a, 23b-31:
"From one man he made every nation of the human race to inhabit the entire earth, determining their set times and the fixed limits of the places where they would live, so that they would search for God and perhaps grope around for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us."
Tim points out that God has done this because he loves each of us and he wants his love to be requited/responded too.
Connecting with God is THE thing of life, it is the deepest, the thing for which we are meant. The love of God is the source of ALL that IS. When we begin to love God back things begin to get sorted. It might happen slowly and some things are difficult, it might be painful, it might be happy depending on our circumstances, but through it all, connecting with God is our home.

Join us as we continue with the second part of this series on connecting.
Connecting with God. Connecting with Community. Connecting with Creation.
This week Canon Tim Clayton shares some insights from the Acts of the Apostles chapter 17.
Though Paul was brilliant and able to communicate clearly and with wisdom to those around him, what was most powerful was that Paul showed his love for those he was serving and ministering too. The biggest point is that Paul loved them rather than judging them or criticizing them. Of course he explains the story of Jesus and the wonders of the resurrection, and it's love that leads Paul to connect with them, and it's his awareness of God's great love for everyone. This is what we are trying to do here at Trinity North Shore.

Join us as we begin this series on connecting. Connecting with God. Connecting with Community. Connecting with Creation.
Mother Wendy Dixon shares some beautiful insights on connection as we look at the Book of Hebrews chapter 10: 22-25, and the lovely insights Wendy has learned about connection.
Our Earth and it's people here and now are still crying out; the refugees, the Joshua trees, the cattle on a thousand hills are crying out, and God in His acute hope for us and the planet through the Spirit cries out, "the Spirit and the Bride say come". The writer of Hebrews says, "draw near to God, spur on one another towards love and good deeds." The core goal of our church says that this is who we want to be, a people gathered who want to be connected to God, community and creation. Let's do it.

Psalms Series Part 12: Psalm 150
Join us as we study the Psalms this season at Trinity North Shore.
Canon Tim Clayton continues our series in the Psalms with a closer look at the last psalm in the Book of Psalms, Psalm 150.
Really a psalm that is summing up the entirety of the book.
God is worthy to be praised simply because He is God.
At the same time, the nature of God's character is so good, so loving, so magnificent, so powerful, it's almost as if when we praise Him, some of that praise falls back into us and in turn lifts us up and transforms us.
It can't help but help to lift our hearts and spirits.
Praise is an ancient and proven kind of therapy.
When we praise God and gaze upon his glory, we are also transformed.
Turn to Him today in the quietness of your hearts, we invite you to take a moment to thank God for being good to you, generous, beautiful, faithful, gracious, and powerful.
May the peace of God be with you today.
PSALMS
The power of music + melody + poetry together = songs.
Singing to the Lord together is good for our mental health, our soul, our appreciation of God and of one another. Open your heart, bring yourself into the story of God.
Why do we sing? As Pascal said, "the heart has reasons for which reason knows not..." Music is one of the few gifts we have to bring love, to bring peace, to bring healing, to speak out against injustice, to bring praise and adoration to those we love. Music crosses those valleys, those deserts, those oceans within us and helps to bring us home within ourselves, connecting with God, and with one another.

Psalms Series Part 11: Psalm 31
Join us as we study the Psalms this season at Trinity North Shore.
Trevor Jones continues our series in the Psalms with a closer look at Psalm 31.
Join us as Trevor walks us through this lovely Lamenting Psalm of David.
A Psalm of David, again asking for help from God, and a reassurance of knowing who God is, and praising Him for that. This lines up with our own private prayers that we can live in the natural flow of emotion from asking for help, to remembering who God is, and praising Him for that, and then moving back to asking for help. Knowing the presence of a God who delights in you, just as you are. Is it too good to be true?
Trevor is reminding us that we as a church are "God's workmanship", to do the good works that He has prepared for us to do. Also a kind reminder that when worries and shame come into our lives, we can remember that God's word reminds us to live in God's love, to run to the light of God's love.

Psalms Series Part 10: Psalm 139
Join us as we study the Psalms this season at Trinity North Shore.
Canon Tim Clayton continues our series in the Psalms with a closer look at Psalm 139.
Finding ourselves doesn't happen just by looking inside, but also through relationships. We also find out who we are as we interact with those around us.
The Scripture teaches us that we are all made in the Imago Dei, the "image of God". In Psalm 139 we find a writer who is reflecting on what it means to be a human being in relationship with the one who gave him life.
How does this relate to each of us, created by God when we were formed in the womb. Sometimes you may have felt terribly alone, yet God was there with you the whole time. Remember your story, wherever you have gone, happy or troubling, and know that God was there with you the whole way.

Psalms Series Part 9: Psalm 40
Join us as we study the Psalms this season at Trinity North Shore.
Mother Wendy Dixon continues our series in the Psalms with a closer look at Psalm 40.
The Psalms describe a lot of tight situations, full of cries to God for "help".
In this week's Psalm 40, we see that in this song, David's help has come, the challenge has passed. David, having been trapped in a "pit" of his own bad behavior, "troubles beyond number have surrounded me, and my own sins have troubled me so that I cannot look up", and so David called out to God for help, the Lord met him and delivered him, and gave him a new song to sing.
Join us as Wendy shares some wonderful insights from this classic and beloved Psalm.

Psalm 130 could possibly be the most beautiful desperation prayer that's ever been prayed. Whatever is going on with you in this season, whatever heaviness you carry, whatever thoughts might be condemning you, or how many mistakes you may have made, this week's Psalm, begins with the writer in that place, "out of the deep, I have called upon you..."

Psalms Series Part 7: Psalm 22
Join us as we study the Psalms this season at Trinity North Shore.
Mrs Jennifer Keifer continues our series in the Psalms with a closer look at Psalm 22.
Layered underneath the cause of sufferings, a profound alienation is felt.
In the words of the Psalmist, this believer has found themselves in a "pit", an "abyss", "waters overwhelming", a real or feeling of being cutoff from community and their flow of life.Their "enemies'', whether people or dire circumstances, adds to the pain.In this state, we can see how Psalm 22 exactly mirrors the circumstances.
For a thousand years before Jesus, ancient Hebrews turned to this Psalm in their suffering, and when Jesus suffered, he too turned to this song. Today this Psalm remains part of the sacred cannon of scriptures that we can turn to in our own suffering. It models for us what it means to "suffer well".

As the flow of our liturgy leads us to that place, we offer sacrifice and praise, we confess our sins, and we are offered the refreshment of forgiveness. We pray for the nations and we intercede for God's justice. Through our weekly liturgy and service we pray everything that Psalm 65 prays.

Trinity Sunday
Listen to Mother Wendy Dixon's sermon:
The Holy Trinity | Graces and Loves
This week Wendy continues our look at Ephesians which is a lovely ramp up to help us understand the Holy Trinity.
God has a goal for us, that the goal is doable within the context of the self- giving love found within the trinity (a community of love), the goal is attainable through the transformational action on our part which grows character and grace within us through the Holy Spirit.
Our scripture from Ephesians 4.
*"Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
... So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work."*

Pentecost Sunday
Listen to Mother Wendy Dixon's sermon: Pentecost and the All Infusing Love of God
This week Wendy looks at the story of Pentecost and ties it to Ephesians chapter 3. Flames resting on the heads of the people present at the moment.
A beautiful impartation of the Holy Spirit, bringing Christ's love into their hearts, as a foreshadowing of the beautiful impartation of Christ's love into our hearts.
"For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."

Ascension Sunday
Listen to Cn Tim's sermon: Ascension Sunday, 5 Words of Encouragement
40 days after the crucifixion of Jesus, we celebrate the ascension of Jesus.
We celebrate that we live and that we will live and that all things will be well.
We celebrate that the glory of God will cover the earth as the waters cover the seas.
Since his resurrection, the risen Jesus has been spending time with his disciples. Eating with them, talking with them, walking with them, teaching them. New life, new heaven, new earth.
We hold on to this hope, as the people of God who have a reason to have strength to love as Tim reminds us with 5 words of encouragement from Paul.

Easter Week 6
Listen to Cn Tim's sermon: The Resurrection of Jesus +
The Powers Having Been Defeated and put under the rule of Jesus.
Spiritual, Social, Personal, Culture, and so on.
Your life is not random.
We are meant to connect to spiritual reality, yet our personalities can make a culture, or an ethos. This is a part of what's talked about in the new testament. Jesus has pushed these "powers" and "constructs" aside to make space for us to live and walk in "his way" of love.
What is the fruit of a life shaped by the powers, versus a life shaped by following the way of love in Christ Jesus? (Love, joy, peace, gentleness, self-control, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness.)
Most importantly: God delighted/delights in you, knew/knows you, and had plans for you even before you existed.

Easter Week 5
Listen to Cn Tim's sermon: From the Cosmos to the Cubicle; Nothing is Strong Enough to Separate You From God's Love.
Wherever you are in your life, however you are feeling, whatever you are experiencing during each day, in each season, Jesus is there with you.
How do we deal with things that are in flux or causing uneasiness in our culture? We live in a time where the "water we swim in" is full of change. Who am I? What's big enough to hold on to? What can help us see the biblical heroes/authors as "real people", who faced similar struggles to us during their lifetimes?
In this insightful sermon, Tim looks at the life and transformation of Paul from a religious leader and hero of his time who stood opposed to the stories of Jesus' death and resurrection, to literally meeting the resurrected Christ who has overcome the powers of the age, and Paul realizing that he was wrong Paul then spends 3 years off the grid, out of the limelight, recalibrating everything he understood about God.
In spite of all that Paul suffered along the way, Paul realizes some foundational realities as he shares in his letters,
1. "If God is for us, who can be against us?",
2. "Christ is the one who died, and more than that he was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who is also interceding for us..." the self-giving love of God is the reality, Jesus on the cross.
3. "I am convinced that nothing... will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus..."

Easter Week 4
Listen to Cn Tim's sermon: Living Into Our Calling
Continuing in our theme of Jesus, risen from the dead, and defeating the powers that be, allowing us to live free in the truth that he loves us as we are.
How does this resurrected and victorious Jesus meet us in the midst of a sometimes cruel world?
Tim looks at chapters 1 and 2 of 1st Corinthians. Sometimes these chapters can be misunderstood. Sometimes people can make these passages into anti-intellectualism or dualism.
Paul's brilliance allows these passages to speak to both Jewish scribes and Greek scholars. Paul helps us to understand how Jesus meets us, small as we may feel, in this life. Jesus has himself chosen to be dismantled on the cross, and in so doing is able to dismantle the powers that be.
When we participate in, and live into the self-giving practices and ways of Jesus, then we too are pushing back and dismantling the powers that be.

Easter Week 3
Listen to Cn Tim's sermon: God's New World
This week Cn Tim continues our Easter theme on Jesus' resurrection and what it means in relation to the "powers" that influence our world, our culture, our lives and the world "being remade".
How do we go about living our lives in the midst of so many tensions.
As Tim so relevantly reminds us:
NOTHING can separate us from the LOVE of GOD
And the hope we have reaches ALL THE WAY to the WHOLE CREATION – there will be LIBERATION for us and the WHOLE CREATION, which mysteriously yearns for its freedom… ALL of this because of the RESURRECTION:
If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
After all...Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised – who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.

Easter Week 2
Listen to Cn Tim's sermon: Let My Soul Breathe
Connecting to the living God.
This week Tim looks at Colossians Chapter 2 and the story of Jesus, risen from the dead, and how the influences we are raised with and currently live within can sometimes leave us flat (family, history, media, marketing, movies, social media, school, work, life pressures), all of these influences we literally are swimming in every day. Tim shows us how these are contrasted with the life-giving resurrection of Jesus; how the first apostles noted that the resurrection of Jesus from the dead literally "neutered" and "despoiled" those influences, and how his love can reset and rebuild our lives so that our souls can breathe, and we can connect with the living God in Christ Jesus.
Tim looks at the images Paul uses, comparing those areas of our lives to that of a document or record that's ready to be submitted to the authorities. The document would've been written in wax, but because of Jesus, the record is wiped out, the page is reset. All of the writing smoothed away with the flick of the writer's tool, the words in the wax are wiped away, the pages of our lives are reset.

Easter Sunday
Listen to Cn Tim's sermon: Jesus, Out of the Grave: Resetting Our Lives
The Way of Love- April
How do we reset and learn new ways to see ourselves in light of what Jesus has done.
This week Tim looks at the story of Jesus, Risen from the grave. What does this mean for our lives? How the apostle Paul taught us the differences between the 'natural' and the 'spiritual' as the differences between 'what a society assumes, with all it's ways of evaluating and saying who is worthy and who isn't; versus God's evaluation through his love, saying 'I love you and accept you, and have done this for you'. Knowing what is spiritual by who Jesus is. The resurrection validates all of this; Jesus had lived it.
Our way of love discussion next week will be about resetting our lives in light of what Jesus has done.
As Tim reminds each of us:
Remember, God loves you.
You will live with and in God forever, in a new world made whole, as the person God has intended and dreamed you to be, forgiven, accepted, transformed, known, alive, content, beholding and exuding glory, because the good one was vindicated and justice prevailed.All shall be well, so completely very well, for He is Risen.

Lent Week 5
Listen to Matt Vacelkiv's sermon: God's Gentleness in the Story of Peter (and Gentleness in Peter's Ministry)
This week Matt looks at the journey of Peter and how Jesus loved and cared for him just the same through all the key points that we know about in scripture. His calling as a fisherman, Jesus walking on the water and Peter rising to try and join him, his proclamation of Jesus as the Christ, his denial after Jesus is arrested, and his reconnection with Jesus on the beach after Jesus calls out to them from the shore, "try casting your nets to the other side of the boat", and Peter recognizes the voice of his friend and teacher.
Sometimes we may think of Peter as brash, brave, or maybe a tough fisherman, but Matt draws upon the letters of 1st and 2nd Peter, that he would've written later in his life, and the beauty and gentleness that comes through in Peter's words.

Lent Week 4
Listen to Trevor Jones' sermon: God's Gentleness With the Most Notorious Sinner
This week Trevor takes a brief look at the story of Paul the apostle. Known as the most notorious persecutor of the first believers, making many of them the first martyrs. Yet, Paul comes to know God's love, mercy, and faithfulness.
We look at how Paul expresses and enjoys the gentleness of Jesus.
What is Paul's story? How does it relate to our own story?
In the story of Jesus, we aren't called to each be the same person... rather we are invited to allow Jesus to walk with us in the story of our own lives. Just as we are all unique, our uniqueness doesn't go away as we let Jesus walk together with us in our story.
We can each experience his love, mercy, and faithfulness throughout our journey.
"King Jesus came into the world to save sinners..."

Lent Week 3
Listen to Cn Tim's sermon: Free to be Open and Honest With the God Who Loves You
This week Tim looks at the story in Matthew 19 of a young man who comes to Jesus asking him an honest question that was on this young man's heart, ‘what good thing must I do if I’m to possess the life of the age to come?’ and "what else can I do? what am I still short of?"
In this lovely sermon, Tim shares some insights with us on how we can also learn to come to Jesus in any situation and ask Jesus the honest questions that are in our hearts, knowing that he loves us exactly as we are.
Jesus is not inviting the young man into hardship, he's inviting him into wholeness, into being fully alive. If you want to get there, if you want to go on in life feeling connected, then lose control, don't have it all "sorted out", get active about relationships and loving your neighbors, get outside yourself. Jesus is encouraging us to identify with the poor, get oriented to a different story, then come and follow him.

Lent Week 2
Listen to Mrs. Jennifer Kiefer's sermon: Healed in a Crowd
This morning Jennifer looks at the story of a woman who is sick and hurting, who reaches out to touch Jesus as he is passing through the crowds that are pressed against him. She's hoping that if she could just touch the hem of his robe she might be healed. In fact, she is healed and Jesus stops to ask "who has touched me?"
A beautiful story of Christ's intimate knowledge of what is happening even in the middle of a chaotic scene.
Jen leads us into the conversation that divine power and human power are meant to be gifts. Encouraging us to engage a far more deeply honest and deeply christian conversation about healing power and the ability to impact change and to create meaning.

Lent Week 1
Listen to Cn Tim's sermon: Jesus, The Second Adam Resets Humanity
As we enter Lent, Tim shares a beautiful picture of Jesus as the Second Adam who resets humanity in the wilderness and gives us a way to authenticity.
In today's gospel story, Jesus, the second Adam, is out among the wild beasts in the wilderness. Just as the first Adam was with the beasts. Like Adam in the Garden again. Where we failed before in the temptation, Jesus then resets the human being within himself while facing the same kind of temptations that Adam faced. Jesus, in connection privately with his heavenly father, shows us the way, and makes a way for all humanity.

Epiphany Week Six
Listen to Cn Tim's sermon: The Heart Knower
In this moving sermon on World Mission Sunday, Tim shares some powerful stories from his own past ministry and missions along with those from Peter and Paul.
Even in the earliest church, in the earliest days, even with people who had met the resurrected Jesus, there were those who were saying, "wait a minute, why hasn't this whole thing been completed yet?" And so Peter writes to them to remind them that God hasn't lost the plot, encouraging them to hold on, he's not slow, God just has a different kind of timing.
Living in Post Christian America, sometimes it's easier to talk and or think about "world mission" than it is to talk about "mission" in our home country.
Yet, God is the Heart Knower, and in response we should simply love people, cross cultures, sow seeds, nurture, care, let things develop in the beauty of God's light and love. Grieve but do not grieve without hope and know that you are beloved, dearly beloved.

One thing we know from scripture is that Jesus loves to tell parables and stories, and this week we look at what some call the Prodigal Son, perhaps the greatest of Jesus' stories.
As Tim points out, for some it's a story about three prodigal people. In this insightful sermon Tim looks at each of the main characters in this story and how God is working in each of their lives.

Epiphany Week Three

This morning Drew looks at the very heart of Jesus and how he lifts us and carries us through grief, turmoil, and hardship. We look through the gospel of Matthew 11 where Jesus talks about those things "hidden from the wise and prudent, but revealed to babes..." A fascinating sermon that brings us back to who Jesus is and how he himself describes himself as "gentle and lowly of heart", and Jesus reminds us that in him we will find rest for our souls for his yoke is easy and his burden is light.

Epiphany Week Two
Listen to Cn Tim's sermon: God Gets in the Water - The Baptism of Jesus
Tim looks at the beautiful story of John the Baptist is baptizing people, and the crowds are lined up coming to John in repentance and seeking forgiveness for their sins, waiting to be baptized. In this very moment, Jesus intentionally aligns himself among the sinners, and joins them standing in line beside them among the crowds waiting to be baptized by John.
If you're ever unsure about what God is like, you can remember that God is like Jesus. Lined up beside you, getting into the waters of life with you.
We also look at God as Trinity.
It may not make sense to some but the Trinity is real and is working in our lives. The concept may be more than logic can do, and yet it's beautiful and wonderful and works.
Tim shares an insightful message that helps us understand more deeply the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We look at the story of Jesus' baptism with John. The picture of the trinity we see as Jesus is baptized, the spirit descends, and God the father speaks from heaven. One story, one act, one will, happening simultaneously; unity and fullness.
Trinity North Shore is a church that wants to show that God is real and accessible to people. When you think of names for a church you couldn't find a more philosophically picked at, abstract, "word not even in the bible", concept than "Trinity". But if you flip that, and realize that because of the Trinity; God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit you can be assured that whoever you are and wherever you might be; you can be confident that God really knows you, knows your hopes, your desires, your pain, your challenges and walks with you in those places wherever they may lead you. He's in the water of life with you.

Epiphany Week One:
Listen to Cn Tim Clayton's Sermon: When the Time Was Right: Three Kings - Hope Written into the Heavens
This week Tim takes a more in depth look at the story of the Magi. The three wisemen; the three kings who are following this comet/star. It could be that when the young jewish men were enslaved in Babylon, that the Babylonians learned of the prophecy from the book of Numbers 24 about the birth of the coming king.
A fascinating look at how God was writing into history, this story of Jesus who would free his people, way back during the exile of Israel. Even as the unspeakable awfulness of exile and slavery were happening to Israel, God was writing hope into that very moment. God wrote hope into the heavens, into the cosmos, and these 3 men journeyed together for months, following the light in the heavens to pay tribute to this newborn King.

A stable, two young first time parents, a town over crowded with people reporting for a census, uncertainty, chaos and noise everywhere around.

Christmas 2022.
Listen to Cn Tim Clayton's Sermon: Gentleness and Risk - Awe and Wonder.
The awaited King and Messiah in all his splendor is replaced by a child born in poverty and exile. Placing spiritual royalty in the place of the greatest vulnerability was a coup de force unprecedented in history. All the values of merit, of power, of prowess, found themselves disrupted.
Join us as Tim reminds us through the beauty of the Christmas story that Jesus knows, that he cares, he is with you, he is gentle, he is waiting on you, and welcoming you. Don't miss this encouraging and beautiful message.

Advent Week Four: Love
Listen to Mother Wendy Dixon's sermon Advent 4: Getting to "Yes".
This week Wendy reminds us that even in our own lives we sometimes say "yes", and over time we drift away and say "no". How does God respond? He responds with deep deep love and commitment to all that he has made. In the words of Hosea, he continues to reach out to us with "chords of loving kindness" and "ropes of love".
How do we make a decision to say "yes" to something? And to follow through with it? How do we get to "yes" and follow through with what God is inviting us to? The bible is full of pendulum swings. People decide "yes" and then as time goes by, they switch to "no" or change directions. Wendy helps to give us some faith building lessons to help us in our walk with Jesus as we are trying to find our ways through difficult times.

What is it that brought you to love Jesus?
What would you say are main reasons you love him?
Can you think of everyday (normal for you) language you would use to talk about these things?
If you imagine a person who you deeply want to see come to know Jesus’ love for them, how do you imagine that would change that person’s life? Imagine who they would be.

Advent Week Three: Joy
Listen to Cn Ross Kimball's message Advent 3: How Do We Know We Are Hearing the Voice of God?
In this insightful sermon, Cn Ross shares a number of ideas to help us with this colossal topic.
Ross looks at the story of the boy Samuel who is being called in the night by the Lord, and the young child doesn't realize it's the voice of God and the priest Eli helps to guide Samuel. We also read the gospel story of John the Baptist wondering if he's hearing from God, wondering if Jesus is the Christ and he sends people asking “Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?", and word is sent to John of all that Jesus is doing, "“Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them...".
For many of us, hearing the voice of God speaking to us is not that easy.
We sometimes struggle with whether the voice we are hearing or the sense of leading we are having is really "the voice of God". We can struggle with that in many kinds of ways, from where to go to college, where to move, what job to take, who to date or who to marry, where to serve, to what to do when we find ourselves in difficult situations; to whether God's forgiveness actually applies to us.
Ross gives us some insights to help us understand the difference between the voice of God and our sometimes confusing own desires. Ross shares helpful insights including understanding the character of Christ Jesus. There's also the kind reminder that when we do make mistakes, there is grace and mercy to carry on in learning to hear the heart and voice of God.

Advent Week Two: Peace
Listen to Dr. Todd Johnson's message Advent 2: God's Deep Love for All of the Peoples of the World
Todd's shares his unique perspective on Advent, the coming of the Kingdom of God for the ongoing rescue of all of humanity. Today we mark an advent for all peoples, this calendar season in the church, we wait for, we expect and we welcome the "global Jesus". Dr. Johnson uses this time to show us a global approach to the gospel.
Hamilton Wright Mabie wrote this, "Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love. That is an activity that we can embrace together and we can welcome the global Jesus. After all, that little baby represents the hope of all peoples." The more diverse christianity is, the more new people will want to join.
Todd M. Johnson is the Eva B. and Paul E. Toms Distinguished Professor of Mission and Global Christianity, and Co-Director of the Center for the Study of Global Christianity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Johnson is visiting Research Fellow at Boston University’s Institute for Culture, Religion and World Affairs leading a research project on international religious demography. He has published encyclopedias, atlases, databases, monographs, and scholarly articles on counting religionists around the world. In particular he has made detailed country-by-country estimates for ethno-linguistic peoples, religious diversity, Pentecostals, Sunnis and Shia’s, and other traditions within the world’s major religions.

Joe reminds us that the incarnation reveals that God speaks into the realities of our lives; into the busy-ness of life, into the joys of life, and even into the darkness of life.
Joe reminds us that no matter where we are in life, we have the opportunity to encounter God in both big and small moments of life, and that we can learn from the Prophet Micah, who reminded us to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God.

Intentionally continuing to be like the Israelites who even when they arrived in their promised land were meant to be richly diverse, welcoming to the sojourners, welcoming to the immigrants and called to care for the poor, the orphans, the widows and the outsiders.

Listen to Canon Tim Clayton's sermon: Mercy and Forgiveness, The Beginning Place
Join us as Tim walks us through some interesting questions.
What does it mean to be a fully alive human being?
What would a fully whole, fully well, fully alive human being look like?
It would look like a person who loves the Lord their God with all their soul, all their mind, all their strength, and who loves their neighbor as themselves.
We look at Luke chapter 10 where Jesus is asked, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
Tim reminds us that God is always showing us so much more mercy, forgiving us so much more than we even realize. Sometimes we find ourselves looking back on things that we've done or that have been done to us that have been hurtful, or that have made us feel regret or shame, and maybe it's hard to find peace within ourselves. Moments in our life that trouble us. In these moments, Jesus embracing us says, "I know, and I love you, and I have mercy for you...I have a new beginning for you."

In this beautiful message, Jennifer walks us through some of the stories of saints through the ages and reminds us that Jesus is with us always, journeying together with us through difficult and hard situations in life.
Groaning is defined as: to utter a deep moan indicative of pain, grief, or annoyance.. None of us have been left untouched by the groanings of a world still captive to sin, brokenness and trouble. Jesus grieved his friend Lazarus' death, and Jesus inhabits all of our sorrows with us. Jesus invites us to bring Him our toughest questions, and He is gentle with us in those wrestlings.

Part 6, Intimacies Within the Full Range of Our Relationships.
Join Tim as we look at the way of love and intimacies within the full range of our relationships and friendships. How walking with Jesus connects with our inner life broadly speaking. In general our culture sometimes struggles in friendships and relationships both within our family and with our neighbors and friends. This month Tim explores incarnation and how following Jesus can help us in these intimate relationships.
Special Guest: Rissy Jones
Journal Questions:
What does the idea that we are made to be body-mind-spirit in unity and connected to the Father as true simplicity and authenticity say to you? Can you imagine living into that reality in your own life?
Jesus was single and celibate. Yet he had intimate, sensual encounters with people that transformed them. Often people who were isolated, ostracized, or living lives that were other than body-mind-spirit connected to the Father, in unity. Given his full humanity that accompanied his full divinity, how did he manage this?
To what degree is it necessary or just right to be a perhaps silent presence in another’s life around matters of human intimacies? When is it okay or right or the way of love to speak?

Part 5, Caretakers and Representatives.
Join Tim as we look at the way of love as a part of the created order.
We take a look at the story that the Bible gives us about God and his non-human creation: such a beautiful story, and so much fuller than we have been taught.
The Beginning: A Story of Wonder
The Catastrophe: Spoiling the Party, What Then?
The Liberator: Nature’s Revenge and Release
A Future and a Hope: A Spirituality for Living as a Spiritual Being in a Body in a Wild and Multi-faceted Physical World
Friends, the word “repent” comes from the two Greek words “meta-noia”, which mean a way of thinking about everything. In other words, yes, we need to repent: we need a new meta narrative, story of everything. But my conviction is that we do not need to leave our faith and its resources to find it, we simply need to let them say more of what they always have been saying.
Journal Questions:
1. Can your name a time when you have felt profound wonder in the beauty of nature?
-
Did you sense God in that time? Did it seem that he was near? If so, how did that for you and how did you respond? If not, does speaking out to him in a moment like that make sense to you?
-
What aspect of hearing the biblical story this way spoke to you? Why and what did it say to you?
-
When you think about the challenges regarding the natural world in these times, which one is most troubling to you?

It's also a testimony to the intimacy between Abraham and the Lord. Is there something in the heart and mind of Abraham that helps him to see past the horizon, and to know that somehow it's all gonna work out? What is God like? God has always been like Jesus. What is Jesus like? Our God is different, our God is unique. Through intimacy with Jesus we can learn to see past the horizon and to have hope.

Listen to Cn Ross Kimball's sermon, "Lifting Up Our Eyes 6 - Accepting, Forgiving, Welcoming"
Join us as Ross looks at the story from Genesis 32 where Jacob says, “No, please, if I have found favor in your sight, then accept my present from my hand. For I have seen your face, which is like seeing the face of God, and you have accepted me. Please accept my blessing that is brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.”
Ross reminds us that our God is not like our culture.
We can sometimes be quick to condemn rather than being quick to forgive, or quick to accept and welcome. In this special sermon, Ross looks at ways we can learn to receive forgiveness and to be forgiving. To See God's face of love and forgiveness; acceptance and welcome. Encouraging us to learn to be the face of God, the face of "welcome" whenever we can.

Rev Jake Strum, Director of the Anglican Relief and Development Fund, shares a story about Jesus and those who are most overlooked in our society. In a story from the gospel of Luke, Jesus shares, “When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return and you be repaid. But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”
