Caught Without Wedding Clothes
On this Thanksgiving Sunday, we get to feast upon the Parable of the Wedding Banquet from Matthew 22. Who is called to the Feast? Who accepts and who declines the invitation? Why does a man get thrown out for not being dressed appropriately? Come and see… all are invited to the Wedding Supper of...

Bishop Mike on Phill's Ordination | St. Peter's Fireside | Sunday Morning Live Service | 09.27.26
This Sunday is a very exciting day in the life of our church, because our very own Phill Pearson will be ordained as a priest or presbyter! This service will look a little different than normal because it is not just a St Pete's service, it is an Anglican Diocese of Canada service. Bishop Mike…

Should I Not Have Tears In My Eyes
Join us this Sunday as we continue in the season After Pentecost. Most people think they know the story of Jonah, but they often miss the full story. We know about the prophet on the run who is swallowed by the fish and spit out three days later. But we forget about the second half of the story:...

Restoration Sunday
We kick off the Fall season with “Restoration Sunday!” Grady will be doing some teaching on our “About Statement” at St Pete’s: We are about Restoration in Christ through Scripture, Sacrament, and Spirit. He will also be inviting each one of us to embrace our own “Restoration Rhythms” this Fall...

Grace for the Coming Season
This Sunday we arrive at our final sermon in our “Summer in the Psalms” series. Psalm 119:33-40 speaks of our utter dependence upon God. In it, we pray for the graces of illumination, empowerment, confirmation, and the grace of the Gospel. A perfect posture as we face the coming Fall season!…

Psalm 26: Be my Judge
We have arrived at the penultimate psalm in our summer series, Psalm 26. In this psalm, we hear David cry out for justice and vindication; he asks God to test his heart and mind and declare his innocence, in contrast to those who are trying to condemn him. It is a potent and emotion-filled psalm....
-
I Will Tell of You!
Join us this Sunday as Marion shares about how Psalm 138 is a song of testimony. David has experienced that the LORD has heard him, answered his prayer, and strengthened him! In response, David testifies to and sings of the greatness and goodness of the LORD before friend and foe alike. One day...

Blessed, so that.
Psalm 67 is a liturgical prayer that repeatedly asks for God’s blessing, not just for us and our well-being, but for the whole world. As we explore this short but powerful psalm, we’ll challenge a pervasive and dangerous heresy, consider how blessing works in the economy of God’s kingdom, and be...
-
A Reason to Worship
Exuberant worship bookends Psalm 29; the heavenly beings and the temple worshippers both cry out “Glory!” to God. In the middle 7 verses, we discover the reason for their worship: a mighty thunderstorm! Come Sunday and find out what this storm says about God and his heart to bless his people. You...

Faithful Remembering
Join us this Sunday as we continue in the season of Ordinary Time together. This morning will be a Family Service, meaning all our congregation will be together! We will also be having a morning Prayer Service, and our friend Shannon will be sharing her sermon! Why is memory so important for the...

A Love Song to God’s Law
We have begun our new series, Summer in the Psalms. This week we’ll look at a chunk of Psalm 119, which is essentially a love letter to God’s Law. Why does the psalmist feel so strongly about statutes? Come and see! You can view the full service here: https://youtube.com/live/4CJetCf8jSA

How to Pray When We’re in Trouble
We have begun our new series, Summer in the Psalms. Over the next 8–10 weeks, we will be immersing ourselves in the Church's ancient prayer book, inviting it to expand our imagination of prayer. This week, we find ourselves in a psalm that will guide us in how to pray when we’re in trouble!

A Psalm of the Harvest
We have begun our new series, Summer in the Psalms. Over the next 8–10 weeks, we will be immersing ourselves in the Church's ancient prayer book, inviting it to expand our imagination of prayer. This week, we find ourselves in a psalm written for the celebration of the harvest. Yet before this...

A Psalm of Praise from A -Z
Prayer can be one of the greatest joys of the Christian life, and yet one of its greatest struggles. Many of us long to pray more consistently and more deeply, but find ourselves unsure of what to say, feeling like we lack the words to express ourselves to God. This Sunday, we begin our summer...

Losing Our Life to Find It
This Sunday we continue on in Matthew 10, as Jesus prepares his disciples for what they can expect as his representatives in the world. Jesus’ words this week are challenging, difficult, and jarring. How should we read them? Read Matthew 10:34-42 to prepare. Watch the full service here:...
-
His Eye is on the Sparrow
In Matthew 10, Jesus calls his apostles to himself and then sends them out with the authority to carry out his work in Israel. But they don’t know what they’re signing up for! In our Gospel reading this week, the Lord begins to prepare them for what discipleship to Jesus will look like. Working...
-
A Special Kind of Special
As we witness baby Olivia being baptized into the covenant family of God, the text for the sermon is Exodus 19:1--8. God brings a motley clan of persons recently freed from slavery in Egypt to himself at Mount Sinai and makes them his people, in fulfillment of his covenant promise to Abraham. God...
-
Dinner with Sinners
We will mark the beginning of the long stretch of “Time after Pentecost,” wherein the Church calls us to the slow and steady growth in Christ by the grace of the Holy Spirit. This spiritual growth is symbolized by the colour green. We will look at the calling of Matthew from the 9th chapter of…

In the Beginning Was Love
Trinity Sunday can sound like a theology exam, but at its heart it's the most personal truth in the universe: that before anything was made, God was already love. He still is and that love flows out to us. Join us this Sunday as we find out what difference that makes. Watch the full service here:...
-
Pentecost: From Chaos to Order
After Easter and Christmas, the Day of Pentecost is the most important Holy Day of the Christian Year. Without the Holy Spirit, nothing that Christ has accomplished would be available to us. The Spirit takes what is of Jesus, and delivers it to us. In our sermon this week, we will look at how…

The Coronation of Jesus
Along with celebrating the baptisms of Oscar and Lucy, we will celebrate the Feast of the Ascension of Our Lord. In the creed, we confess that Jesus ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. What does it mean that Jesus “ascended into heaven”? Where and what is heaven?...
-
Paul before the Areopagus
In Acts 17, Paul enters Athens, a city filled with idols, competing beliefs, and rival philosophies, and from within that culture points people toward the God they do not yet know. Rather than condemning from a distance, he listens, engages, and speaks with both courage and gentleness. This…

The Way
This Sunday, our apprentice Jude will be preaching (for his first time at St. Pete's!) we are looking at the first fourteen verses of John 14, which includes one of Jesus’ most famous declarations: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life” (14:6). We’ll explore what this meant for the disciples...
-
Authority & Freedom
Easter is the inauguration of a new creation and a new people, with new ways of relating to one another as the People of God. But we still live in a fallen world, and the Kingdom of God isn’t fully realized. How are Christians to relate to the world, including the governing authorities? Our…

Marks of an Easter People
Our senior apprentice, Xue Ting, will be leading us through Acts 2:14, 36-37! Join us for “Marks of an Easter People,” where we’ll look at how to live out transformed lives in community as people who have experienced, identified with, and belong to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. You...

What does it mean: Two sermons from Peter
What does the resurrection really mean? This Sunday, we explore two teachings from Peter: one is the first recorded post-resurrection sermon, and the other was written decades later to Christian exiles scattered across the world. Together, these teachings reveal a God who acts in history, a risen...

Palm Sunday | March 29, 2026
Join us this Sunday as we journey from the season of Lent towards Easter together. As Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey into what will prove to be a crucial week, the people are shaken, asking, "Who is this?" We will look at how we answer that question, the danger of merely following the crowd,...
-
Spit, Mud, & Spiritual Sight
This Sunday we will look at the wonderful story of Jesus healing the man born blind from John 9. Why does Jesus spit on the ground? Why don’t the blind man’s neighbours recognize him after he is healed? Why do the Pharisees throw him out of the synagogue, and what does it all have to do with us?...
-
The Woman at the Well
This week's sermon will include a discussion of one of the hot-button topics in the church and wider society today. In Romans 1, Paul lays out how we collectively exchanged the worship of God for the worship of idols. Because of this, God “gave us over” to all manner of impurities. The list Paul...

Abram’s Call (The Grace of Going)

Knowing Christ
As we stand on the threshold between Epiphany and Lent, we will focus on Paul’s letter to the church in Philippi. In this letter, Paul makes a bold claim: everything he once counted as spiritual success — his pedigree, performance, and religious passion — he now calls loss compared to one thing:...
-
Pray Earnestly to the Lord of the Harvest
Each year, every church in our Diocese is encouraged to keep the second-to-last Sunday in Epiphany as “World Mission Sunday.” The whole Season of Epiphany is dedicated to Christ as the Light to the nations, but on this Sunday especially, we are encouraged to reflect on Jesus’ great commission to...

Mary & the Mystery of the Incarnation: Childbirth is Messy
Long ago, before the co-option of Advent by commercialism, the celebration of the Incarnation - God the Son come to us in flesh and blood - began on Christmas Eve and lasted 40 days until the feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple, also called Candlemas. As Grady introduced to us last...
-
What is Repentance?
We will be reading about how Jesus begins his public ministry by preaching. His first sermon is this: “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” What does it mean to repent? What is the Kingdom of Heaven? What does it mean that the Kingdom of Heaven is “at hand?” Come and see! You can veiw…

Doff Thy Name
Our Gospel reading for this Sunday unfolds as a drama of names. Jesus is called by several different names by those around him, lamb of God, the one who was before, Rabbi and Messiah. People can’t seem to decide what to call him. Then, Jesus turns the tables. He looks at a man named Simon and…
more -
Jesus’ Baptism and Ours
We’ll be looking at St Matthew’s account (we’re out of Luke!) of the Baptism of Jesus. Matthew is the only gospel that gives us the little discussion between John the Baptist and Jesus before the baptism happens. John wants to stop it, and we can understand why. Why should the sinless Jesus…

Arise & Shine for the Magi Have Come

The Sign of Immanuel
This Sunday, on the 4th Sunday of Advent, we finally get to anticipate Christmas! We’ll look at Isaiah’s famous prophecy: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel” (Isa 7:14). We’ll begin by reading this text literally, in its original context. I think...
-
From Exile to Everlasting Joy
This Sunday, our apprentice Xue Ting will be preaching as we continue our Advent journey in the book of Isaiah, this time in chapter 35. We journey from the desolation of exile, into the everlasting joy of redemption. We look at movements from barrenness to flourishing, our weakness to God's...
-
A Sprout from a Stump
This Sunday, we continue our Advent journey in the Book of Isaiah, this time in chapter 11. This chapter reveals much about the Messiah. He is a “Sprout from a Stump,” Spirit-saturated, the Just Judge, the Corrector of Creation, the Eliminator of Evil, and the Flag for All Folk. Our Messiah is...
-
The Highest Mountain
If I had to pick a book of the Bible to represent the spirit of Advent, it would be Isaiah. This Sunday, we will begin a new series called “Advent in Isaiah.” We begin this week with Isaiah 2:1-5 and the striking image of the mountain of the house of the Lord being raised above all other…

Christ our Shepherd King
This week, for Christ the King Sunday, we'll be jumping into the middle of Jeremiah - a book that spoke to God's wayward people on the brink of catastrophe and exile in a way that brought comfort and hope. In Jer. 23.1-6, God confronts the sin of Judah's unfaithful kings (or shepherds), promises…

Doom, Division, & Destiny
Believe it or not, we are nearing the end of the Liturgical Calendar (The Christian Year begins in Advent). In this season, sometimes nicknamed “Kingdomtide,” the readings are challenging. They speak of the political, environmental, economic, religious, and social upheavals that will occur before...
-
Poured Out Like a Drink Offering
This Sunday, we continue our journey through Paul’s second letter to the young pastor Timothy. In this passage, Paul turns from instructing Timothy to reflecting on his own circumstances. Imprisoned and awaiting a trial he knows may end in death, Paul looks back on his ministry, updates Timothy…

Abide in What You Have Learned
This Sunday, we return to the lectionary to guide our preaching until Advent. We’ll focus our preaching on the epistle reading 2 Timothy 3:10-4:5. In 2 Timothy, Paul writes to a young pastor who feels in over his head — a feeling many of us know well. But Paul’s words to Timothy aren’t just for...
-
Thanksgiving Sunday
On this Thanksgiving Sunday, we’ll be asking the questions: For what are we to be thankful? How are we to express our thanks? Seemingly simple Sunday School questions with Sunday School answers, but our text from Deuteronomy 8 reveals that there are layers of richness and complexity here that we...
