Eucharist Church

Satan! Family drama! Unclean Spirits! The UNFORGIVABLE SIN. What a TEXT! Music from Church of the Beloved (RIP).

Pentecost. The Holy Spirit finally breaks through the psyche of the believers and ... AHA!  Now it finally all makes sense. Church music from the wonderful Church of the Beloved (RIP)

If the point of Jesus' life is getting people to "believe he raised from the dead" then why did he... leave?

Not much more to say. This sermon is exactly what it sounds like. 

Sometimes to see Christ, we need a little help from our (spiritual) friends. The beautiful music is, as always, courtesy of Church of the Beloved (rip).

On suffering and the weird myth that following Jesus means you will suffer when it REALITY... being human means you're going to suffer. Is that... better?

An Eastertide sermon from Eucharist Church.

Apologies for the earlier upload that had the wrong file up. Jesus has risen from the dead, and the disciples are locked in a tiny room, terrified of the world around them.  Not sure about you, but being trapped in a tiny room seems relatable, in a physical sense, and a spiritual one. The small room keeps you safe, but it also keeps you isolated. Which is why it's such good news that the Resu...

As Holy Week approaches, we're exploring one of the most misunderstood parables of Jesus.  It's a bombshell of a story, and the perfect way to begin walking the road to Jerusalem.

When it comes to rules, the church has got quite a few First, there is the list of "don’t do's" which may include drinking alcohol, dancing, R-rated movies, gambling, using cannabis, swearing, or wearing a hat in church. Then there's the list of what we "ought to do," including kindness, mercy, forgiveness, generosity, sabbath, witnessing, praying, going to church on a Wednesday night at 8pm The t...

This is a sermon about the Bible, but before you listen, read the following poem written by Samantha Butler, a part of our Eucharist community: You are an old friend, aren’t you, An old friend with many arms, Bound and brushed off, and pulled in all directions, and contorted, A feat of human imagination, now ammunition, now a balm of honey and milk. Can I weave the threads of the ocean, Drip by dr...

Quiet time. Daily Hours. "Devos" if you're in a cool Christian college. What are these spiritual practices and why do they make so many of us feel guilty?

This is a sermon about confessing our sin before God and others... which is already a very, very loaded sentence. Fantastic album art by Scott Aasman. Opening music by Church of the Beloved (RIP)

Worship music is... strange.  Fantastic album art by Scott Aasman. Opening music by Church of the Beloved (RIP)

How do you engage a conversation about the good, bad and the ugly of theology? Like Jesus did: You tell a story. Fantastic album art by Scott Aasman. Opening music by Church of the Beloved (RIP)

If you feel like every day is just a repeat of the day before, If you feel like you can’t hear your soul anymore If you feel like butter stretched over too much toast. ... do we have some good news for you. Fantastic album art by Scott Aasman. Opening music by Church of the Beloved (RIP)

We continue on our quest to reclaim Christianity with a few simple questions: Is it possible to talk about religion without coercion?  Will "sharing the gospel" always result in some form of colonization? Time to jump into everyones favourite topic: Evangelism. Fantastic album art by Scott Aasman. Opening music by Church of the Beloved (RIP)

Over the last few weeks we've seen the worst of what Christianity can look like: Nationalist, racist, arrogant and even violent.  In light of those horrors, you might be tempted to walk away from it all. But perhaps there is another way. Over the next few months in Eucharist, our Wednesday evening services are going to explore what this can look like. Each week we'll take an element of the Ch...

COVID means this Christmas season is going to be unlike any other: No parties. No carolling. No family parties on multiple sides. What could you do with all that space in your calendar?

This talk, recorded on the evening of the 2020 American election, explores what it means to be a truly free person.  From soccer games in World War 1 to an angel who says "no" this sermon offers a topology of conflict for anyone who has found themselves saying "I can't understand how good people can do such bad things."    It's my hope and prayer that it sets you free, and even bett...

I used to believe the world was gradually, inevitably, getting better. I don't believe that any more.
