Kortright Church

On the first Sunday of cancelled services due to the Covid-19 preventative measures, our Director of Discipleship, Allison Pinches, delivers a rather timely examination of James 5 in our Walk This Way series. A video of this service was posted to the church's Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/KortrightChurch/

Our series on James continues with Alex examining the role of humility in the Christian walk.

As children, we sang "Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me." But is this true? Alex examines this question and others as we continue our series in the book of James.

As our series in James Continues, Justin looks at a passage that was not a favourite of a famous Reformed theologian, then introduces us to a budding theologian that might surprise you.

There's an old saying that describes a common problem in Christian circles, "Too much talk; not enough walk." But what should the Christian walk look like? Over the next few weeks, Alex MacLeod and the pastoral team will address that question in a new series on the book of James.

On the Sunday when we dedicate our newly renovated sanctuary, Alex helps us to a better understanding of what it truly means to be at home with God. Longer than our usual episode, this message includes a children's moment at the beginning, the dedication of the sanctuary, and a testimony from one of our elders, Krysia Lear.

There is no greater leadership example for the Church than Jesus himself. Out of the many events in His life that could be used as an example, Alex has chosen to walk us through an event that preceded the start of his ministry - his temptation by Satan.

Our director of Discipleship, Allison Pinches, continues our series on leadership by looking at one of the most famous leaders in the entire Bible - Moses. We also learn that leadership is not a solo gig.

In the second message of our new Leadership series, Alex looks at Nehemiah and how the people of God responded to the Word.

In the first message of a new series on Leadership, our Director of Worship and Outreach, Justin Sytsma, gives us some insight into a problem leaders have been struggling with since the days of Elijah—Burn Out.

Advent usually ends with Christmas Day, but that doesn't mean our Advent series is done. This week Alex looks at our last "Song of Advent", the song of Simeon who has been waiting for the promise and is excited to see its fulfillment in his lifetime. The message includes a testimony from Kristen Rekker as part of our healing/communion service.

On the last Sunday of the year, our good friend Rev. Ralph Neil shares with us a message from the Apostle Paul to carry us forward into the New Year.

On the Sunday before Christmas and the first Sunday in our newly renovated sanctuary, Kortright presents our version of a traditional Lessons and Carols service.

As our series looking at the four songs of Advent continues, Alex explains how sometimes, before we can sing, we need to listen.

As we continue through Advent, Alex looks at the story of Mary, from her visitation to the Magnificat.

On the first Sunday of Advent, Alex wraps up our look at the first part of Genesis with the introduction of Abram and the covenant that God established with him as He called him out of his comfort zone and into a new life.

As we near the end of our examination of Genesis, Alex examines the story of the Tower of Babel and what it means for us as individuals and as a church.

While Alex is on study leave, our Director of Worship and outreach, Justin Sytsma, takes us on a trip through the story of Noah and the Flood.

As we move on to Genesis chapter 4, Alex takes us through the story of Cain and Abel and the world's most notorious case of sibling rivalry.

On this Sunday all three of our pastoral staff, Alex MacLeod, Justin Sytsma, and Allison Pinches recap the highlights of our exploration of Genesis Chapters 1 through 3.  Due to equipment failure, the opening portion of the message is not available. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Our Director of Discipleship, Allison Pinches, continues our look at Genesis 3 with an exposition of the text that considers the consequences of "The Fall" and the true extent of "The Curse".

Do you ever get the feeling that there is something that's just not right in the world? Alex continues our examination of the book of Genesis with a look at the event commonly known as "The Fall".

"You can give without loving, but you can't love without giving." Starting with a clip from Abba's "Money, Money, Money", Alex guides us to a better understanding of Thanks-giving.

The next story in our examination of the story of Genesis is the search for a suitable companion for Adam. Alex presents some important lessons we can learn from the Bible's first couple.

As our series on Genesis continues, Director of Worship & Outreach, Justin Sytsma, shows us the vocation to which all of us have been called in the opening passages of the first book of the Bible.
