Sixth Sunday of Easter

Today was indeed special in 3 ways –

the bishop was with us,

he ‘confirmed’ Adedemiji and Adetomawa

Sunday, May 7, 2023

Fifth Sunday of Easter

We are very thankful for the messages from one of our supported missionaries.

The Reverend Nelson Mejia, from Honduras,

gave us inspiring and faith growing messages.

Sunday, April 30, 2023

Fourth Sunday of Easter

Its a grey, wet day here but the love of God is like sunshine, warming and brightening our hearts.

I wasn’t supposed to be preaching today but preached in place of our expected missionary, not yet with us.

The sermon was provocative and there was very good discussion.

I hope it leaves you thinking and marveling at the height, depth and breadth of the love of God for the world..

Sunday April 23, 2023

Third Sunday of Easter

Today we are still in Jesus’ resurrection days and

thinking about how we can notice him even today.

Sunday April 16, 2023

Second Sunday of Easter

The past week’s ’summer’ weather has warmed us after winter.

Spring returns tomorrow and temperatures will return to normal.

Thank the Lord that the God’s love for us does not change from day to day, season to season.

We always wake to the warmth of God’s presence with us and remember God’s commitment to us.

Today we are thinking about being where Jesus can find us.

Fifth Sunday in Lent!

We are thinking about who knows best,

and about heartfelt prayer that leads us to pray exactly what we think

about how God’s love and our situation

lead us to pray our disappointment like Jesus does on the cross.

Sunday, March 19, 2023

Fourth Sunday in Lent

Today we looked at how Jesus steers us away from trying to blame someone and says how,

when we face a problem, we are to ask Jesus the question, “What can God do here?

The second question we ask God is, “What can God do you through me?”

Today’s video has a few glitches, mostly at the beginning, persevere!

The service was long, mostly because the readings were very long.

Third Sunday in Lent!

2 Simple Rules

Feeling the effect of the time leap last night?

Have a nap and go to bed early tonight and we will be alright.

Or perhaps the service video will lull you into sleep – whatever God gives you is wonderful.

Today’s service will, I hope, draw you closer to Christ today and set you up for the week ahead.

Sunday, March 5, 2023

Second Sunday in Lent!

God is Good

My prayer is always that our service helps you come closer to the God who loves you. If it doesn’t, please let me know, with details.

First Sunday in Lent

Lent is not about giving up chocolate!

Sunday, February 19, 2023

Transfiguration

Today we remember the Transfiguration of our Lord Jesus.

As St Peter writes, “We saw him with our own eyes”.

In all his glory Jesus transfigured from just Jesus of Nazareth to Jesus the Son of God.

Only 3 of them saw that and we probably won’t on this side of the golden future that awaits us.

The event reassures us that Jesus is more than Jesus of Nazareth – God in a human for our sakes.

In your prayers reflect on the Transfiguration and I pray that you will have a glimpse of Jesus Christ our Lord.

Sunday, February 12, 2023

Good Life – Good God

I always hope that our services help you to become closer to our beloved Jesus Christ.

If not I am wasting your time and mine.

So, enter into the service as a participant and listen for the sound of Jesus voice.

Here is today’s service, Thanks to Bruce Corbett for filming and producing the video for you – a lot of work.

The Reign of Christ

When I was working in North Western Ontario the communities were mixed English speakers and French speakers. Occasionally, when I introduced myself to a French speaker, as Chris King, I received a strange look. Later someone told me that they heard me introducing myself as Christ King – if only! If only I was able to be with people as if Jesus Christ would be.

I hope you are enriched by our service today. Whether you are or not it would be helpful to hear your comments. We are sorry that today we had some audio problems – do pray for Bruce who carries the burden of these.

With love and prayer,

Chris

23rd Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 33)

Thank you so much for reading this.

Today’s service is about power. Not all power, not an assessment of particular use of power,

but the power of God in us.

Remembrance Sunday 2022 from Emmanuel Church, Richvale on Vimeo.

Sunday, November 6, 2022

22nd Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 32)

Today is All Saints but our theme was the “thine is the glory” in the Lord’s Prayer.
All Saints with Remembrance will be our theme next Sunday.
It surprised me just how present tense the Lord’s Prayer is –
“give us today our daily bread”, “yours IS the kingdom, power and glory” etc.
May you notice God’s blessings this week – and if you don’t notice them contact me for help.
Blessings, Chris

21st Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 31)

Perhaps it is not surprising that on a Sunday when we consider the “deliver us from evil” part of the Lord’s Prayer that there were confusions and technology breakdowns – could be just coincidences. Anyway, here is what we have so far. It may raise questions from you and I would love to hear those questions.

19th Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 29)

Today the movie would not behave itself and shut down, This movie is just the sermon, recorded by me, in the office.

We are still working on the Lord’s Prayer, finding meaning and direction in our lives.

I hope and pray that you have a good week. Do look for God’s blessings and be encouraged by God with you.

18th Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 28)

I do hope you have found someone or something to thank God for. If not, try harder, there are people and things to thank God for, really, if only one. Please try, because thanking God warms our hearts and may even lead us to feel thankful.

17th Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 27)

The Lord’s Prayer envisions and prays that life on earth become like life in heaven! Such a BIG PRAYER that we rush through when we pray/say the Lord’s Prayer. Think about it it…

Greetings on the day of Pentecost.

Sometimes called the birthday of the church

because the followers of Jesus helped thousands of people discover Jesus and God’s love for them.

What do you feel the Holy Spirit encouraging you to learn and do?

SEVENTH SUNDAY OF EASTER, MAY 29, 2022

Ascension Sunday

Have you ever wondered about the future?

Today we celebrate the Ascension of Christ and Jesus tells us to look forward.

SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER, MAY 22, 2022

‘God loves me and Jesus is with me’.

Today we think about anxiety and how that eternal truth can conquer our anxiety if we give it a lot of attention.

Something to think about this long weekend.

FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER, May 15, 2022

It is important to believe that the risen Jesus was still presenting himself all these weeks since Easter.

The resurrection was no ‘flash in the plan’, ‘blink and you miss it’ incident.

Jesus appears many times to many people. Why does that matter?

Because we have so many reasons to believe that Jesus is alive. We need to think about that.

FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER, May 8, 2022

Today we look at biblical texts that include God speaking in a motherly voice.

Let me know if you want to talk about that.
