Kevin Makins on what Names mean.

Preaching Guild member Aaron Craig preaches his debut sermon at Eucharist. Despite being a part of our congregation since day one, and a regular worship leader and creative collaborator, this marks the first time Aaron preaches the gospel with words, from the pulpit (putting his MDiv from Wycliffe to good use). A note about the quality: This sermon…

During Eastertide the Lectionary takes us into the book of Acts, where we get a brilliant picture of ideal Christianity community and a reminder of just how far from perfect we are.

Christ is Risen... and all the kids are with us to celebrate. Which means this sermon had to be accessible to a wide range of ears (and also pretty time effective). Thank God for balloons.

Kevin preaches on Palm Sunday, Jesus' loneliness, and where our friends cannot go.

Kevin Makins closes out our series on "Vice + Virtue" with a reflection on anger, which as he admits, is his default vice. But before that, an update from Pastor Nina Schuurman-Drenth about her present season of life. Pray for her and the whole Schuurman family as they navigate these incredibly challenging times.…

Our reflection on vice and virtue is coming to an end. In this penultimate sermon to our series, Nina Schuurman-Drenth reflects on vanity, the many ways we seek to appear as something that we're not, and how Jesus makes us true on the inside.

One of these vices is not like the others... A sermon on comparison, ornate clothes, and the vicious beast that devours us.

A careful sermon about lust. November 5, 2023 Preacher: Kevin Makins Series: Virtue + Vice

Hello Podcasties. Unfortunately our sermon podcast failed to record this week, but in lieu of a sermon on greed we present to you this wonderful conversation between poet/priest Andy Squyres and Nina Schuurman-Drenth (one of the pastors at Eucharist).

Nina Schuurman-Drenth preaches on the ways sloth manifests in our time and place, even in the go-getters, but also how the good news manifests on the other side of our failure. Thanks be to GOD.

Nina Schuurman-Drenth introduces the first vice and gives us a timely word to chew on (I'm so sorry).

How to be Christian? It's more complicated than it used to be. But perhaps a revolution is underway. Let the Monastics lead the way to Jesus and up the mountain... The first sermon in an eight week journey. Join with us. New podcast each Sunday (or come and worship with us if you're in Hamilton and don't belong to a congregation).…

The final of three sermons reflecting on the Trinity. We hope this has been a meaningful translation of some very classic, and very valuable, theology. The little zines, which contain the pictures from this sermon series, are available while quantities last, at Eucharist. Come by some time.

Week two and we're turning our attention to the second person of the Trinity: Jesus. The Christ. The True Human Being. The Firstborn From the Dead. The WORD/LOGOS. Praying that all who hear this are able to discern the WORD spoken to them by Jesus. Grace and peace, pals.

This sermon is the first of three weeks offering a new introduction into the ideas that shape our Christian faith, and reality as we know it: GOD, Christ, and the Spirit. This week: An introduction to the idea of GOD.

Before we go any further: The big question.

We lost two weeks of sermon podcasts but never fear... Nina Schuurman-Drenth re-preaches a mega-sermon inspired by lost recordings. Nina is in her element when speaking about the links between creation, provision, rest and trust. Give it a listen and allow your soul to soak in what is true as you enter the new rhythms of the summer.…

We ain't angels or animals. But you'd be forgiven for thinking we are.

In both senses of the word.

Stephen Edwards takes us on a brief journey through what it means to be living in a "secular age" and offers a compelling witness to the question, not just of "why Church?", but the deeper question behind the question.

Cindy Stover, Eucharist Elder and Justice Mobilizer with the CRC church, reflects on the foolish mystery at the heart of St Paul's gospel... even if we don't always get it.

Pastor Nina preaches on heart posture, perception transformation, and why we don't really need to know what "fishing for me" meant.
