We're a Christian church located in the suburbs of Ottawa, where it can be hard to feel connected to God, to each other, and to the places we live and work in. These sermons tell the story of how Jesus helps us live out our faith in this disconnected environment: setting down roots in the community, growing in character and moral honesty, and learning to love one another in deep, lasting ways. Have a listen and learn how to set down roots in your own life.

What happens when we don't think we get what's coming to us? It's easy to grumble in Christian life because we believe God is blessing others more than us. But what happens to our spiritual walk when we grumble? In this sermon, Fr. Stephen reflects on the danger of pride and considers why it might be wise to let go of our desire for God to be fair. We actually need Him to be generous.

Hope Reborn
Most Christians are used to hearing the term "born again", but how many of us think through what it means for us? How are we born again, and what does it look like to be born again? Fr. Stephen's sermon today confronts the challenge of rebirths which don't seem to take. We sometimes want rebirth, but don't end up with the lasting change the rebirth implies. Christ offers us a rebirth which is eternal, and which has effects in our lives today.

Sermon Highlights
Terms like born again should be re-examined because they are too familiar
True rebirth is a genuine new start, and something undertaken by God
Israel, Church and Individuals often attempt a new start, without lasting results
Jesus' death and resurrection are a true rebirth
We enjoy a true rebirth by casting ourselves on Jesus
