Fragments of Christmas

Fragments of Christmas

December 3-24, 2023

Stained glass windows are intricate works of art, composed of pieces of glass carefully arranged to form a cohesive and beautiful whole. Each piece on its own is simply a fragment but, together, create a mosaic which tells a story and is illuminated by the beauty of the sun shining through it. This Advent season, we will be reminded that though we may feel like fragments, we are invited to come together and allow the coming of the Son, Jesus Christ, to illuminate us with His transformative hope, joy, peace, and love. As we are pieced together in community, may we allow the story of Christmas and the light that Jesus brings create something beautiful in our world.

Often, the genealogy of Jesus is used to show how He was the answer to covenantal promises made by God throughout Israel’s history, that He literally was the One they had hoped for. But the genealogy also can invite us into having hope ourselves when we see the kinds of people included in the list. Jesus’ family tree is not just filled with names of great heroes like Abraham and David, but people whose stories were one of brokenness and hurt. The story of Tamar is one such story, one of desperate hopelessness and she is carefully included to show that wherever we feel fragmented, we can have hope that there is room in Jesus’ family for us. - Matthew 1:1-17; Genesis 38

Faith in an Uncertain World

Habakkuk and Waiting for God

November 12-26, 2023

One of the great questions that plagues us has to do with the problem of evil. The Bible is filled with God’s people asking Him how long things will remain how they are and what He plans to do about evil and injustice in the world. One book of the Bible that addresses this question is the prophet Habakkuk, a prophet who doesn’t address the people of God on His behalf but rather makes a personal appeal to God about what He sees in the world around him. In this series, we will use Habakkuk’s lament and appeal to God to help give us words in our own day as we wrestle with evil and injustice and like Habakkuk, be invited into why we can trust God, and have hope in spite of the state of our world.

Compassion connects you to the mission of releasing children from poverty in Jesus' name.

Jacob Moon is known for his giftedness as a singer, songwriter of award-winning pop and folk songs. He is also a master of the art of "live looping", a performance style where he records what he’s playing in real time and layers sound on sound to make one guitar sound like an orchestra. He's been performing and presenting Compassion for over 20 years and has just released his 12th album. Jacob and his wife Allison live in Hamilton, Ontario, with their three adopted children.

Life in the Mess

Life in the Mess

October 15-29, 2023

Forgiveness is one of the hardest callings for followers of Jesus, yet it is at the very heart of what it means to be Christian together. The world models “forgiveness” that is a cheap version of the biblical understanding. Our calling is to forgive each other like God forgives us: to join in on God’s reconciliation of the world by modelling forgiveness in our interpersonal relationships. Compelled and modelled by Christ, we learn to forgive each other in the mess of life.
