  • Kids Korner: Not giving up (October 19th)

    Read Luke 18:1-8 with your family. Isn’t this interesting that Jesus says this is a parable about prayer, but then he tells the story of getting justice by continuing to push against injustice. We often hear “ask God what you want and you will get it” without adults realizing that that is also what we…

  • Want to read the Bible? Start with Luke.

    We’ve all seen them, even those who are not interested in reading the Bible… those “Read the Bible in a Year” web lists and apps. I tried following one list once, and I could not get through it. And this was after I had one Master degree in Christianity (my Master of Divinity) under my…

  • Monday check-in: Thanksgiving in Canada

    Wishing all in Canada a wonderful Thanksgiving, and all of you throughout the world a wonderful day.

  • Sunday Reflection – Thanksgiving Sunday, October 12, 2025

    Giving thanks Luke 17 11 On his way to Jerusalem, Jesus went along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he was going into a village, ten men with leprosy came toward him. They stood at a distance 13 and shouted, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” 14  Jesus looked at them and said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” On…

  • Kids Korner: Saying ‘Thank you’ (October 12th)

    Read Luke 17:11-19 with your family. This is the story of ten people being made healthy, but only one of the ten returning to tell Jesus “thank you”. Are we supposed to believe only one of them was grateful to Jesus for making them well? I do not think so. But I do think only…

  • Sunday Reflection – October 5, 2025

    Have pity on me Luke 17 5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Make our faith stronger!” 6 Jesus replied: If you had faith no bigger than a tiny mustard seed, you could tell this mulberry tree to pull itself up, roots and all, and to plant itself in the ocean. And it would! 7 If your servant…

  • Kids Korner: Growing our faith (October 5th)

    Read Luke 17:5-10 with your family. In today’s story those closest to Jesus asked him to grow their faith bigger. The thing is Jesus cannot grow our faith, only we can do that through our choice to believe. Jesus closest followers did not understand that and thought Jesus could help them have bigger faith, more…
