Would you consider yourself to be a controversial person?n  How often do you say, or do, things that other people find provocative or debateable?  The answer to this question could be very subjective. There are times when it might be okay … or maybe even a good thing … to be a little controversial as long as we do it with care, and without hurting someone else. Today, we get a glimpse of Jesus participating in what could have been a very controversial conversation, with two of his followers.   Come and take a listen.  (Luke 24:13-35)

Have you ever heard the saying that a person “can’t see the forest for the trees”?    It’s meant to describe someone who is so focussed on the details that they can’t see the big picture.   Today, we consider a story about a man who had some doubts, how he was able to set them aside, and what that may mean for us, today.  (John 20:19-31)

As we begin to think about Easter, this year, I’d like to take a moment to ask everyone a question.  What are your 3 favourite things about Easter?Like many holidays, Easter holds different memories and traditions for different people.  What are some of yours?   As the years go by, our traditions tend to inform our expectations.  Today we stop to consider some of our own expectations about Easter, and maybe be a little surprised along the way.  (Matthew 28.1–10)

Join us as we commemorate what is arguably the most somber day in the Christian Calendar - Good Friday.   A note to listeners that our Scripture reading describes Jesus' arrest, trial, and subsequent crucifixion.   Some listeners may find the content disturbing.   (John 18:1-19:42)

Today Christians around the world mark something called Maundy Thursday.   The term Maundy Thursday comes from the Latin word Mandatum – which means commandment, or rule. Each year, during Holy Week, we recall some of the last instructions that Jesus gave his disciples. (John 13:1-17, 31b-35)

Please join as as we journey along, with Jesus, toward Jerusalem.  (Matthew 21:1-11).

A friend recently sent me a cartoon whose caption read  “I’m pretty confident that my last words will be … it seemed like a good idea at the time.”  Today we consider some of our own choices, both the good and those that are less than ideal.  We also consider what Scripture has to say about making some positive changes to our habit.  (Romans 8:6-11)

Have you ever heard the expression "Don't judge a book by its cover?"  Today, we consider what it means in the context of our faith.  (1 Samuel 16:1-13 and John 9:1-41).

Have you ever been through "a dry spell",or felt as though you were going through a particularly challenging time? It's okay - even Jesus did.   Let's talk about it. (Exodus 17:1-7)

Today, we hear from the Rt. Rev. Andrew Asbil, Diocesan Bishop of Toronto, during his Episcopal Visit to Christ Church Kettleby. (Genesis 12:1-4a and John 3:1-17)

We’ve been away for a while , but we’re back, and hoping to reconnect.   In this episode we take time to consider cookies, wolves, and the impact of our choices on ourselves, on others, and on the world.   (Genesis 2:15-17, 3:1-7)

If time and money were no obstacle, how would you like to spend your time?   When I’m passionate about something I spend a fair bit of time either thinking about it or making time to do it whenever I can.  What do our words, and our actions say about the things that we're passionate about?   (Romans 10.8b–13)

Today we gather, quietly, considering the aroma of pancakes, sausages, and our journey toward Easter.  ( Matthew 6:1-6, 16-21)

Come and listen to a story about about a monkey, a peanut, and healthy boundaries.   (Luke 6:27-38)

  (Jeremiah 17:5-10)
