Abiding Love and Friendship
This week, Canon Rob’s message explores the message of John 15:9-17, where Jesus emphasizes the importance of love and deep connections within Christian community. We reflect on the characteristics of “abiding friendships,” relationships rooted in Christ’s love, marked by permanence, mutual support, and shared values.
Abide In Christ
Abiding in Christ entails continual communion, leading to spiritual strength, growth, and fruitfulness.
Known, Loved, Restored
Through the image of the Good Shepherd (John 10:11-18), Jesus reveals the depth of God’s sacrificial love, his intimate knowledge of each believer, and his vision of a unified, inclusive community.
Authentic Witness
As we navigate doubt, seek forgiveness, and embrace our role as witnesses, we are empowered to reflect the truth of Christ’s resurrection in our lives.
Easter’s Power Overcomes Uncertainty
In this Easter reflection on Mark 16:1-8, we journey through the enigmatic narrative of Mark’s resurrection account, finding resonance in the emotions of fear and amazement experienced by the women at the empty tomb. Mark’s open-ended conclusion challenges us to embrace uncertainty in our faith journey while trusting in God’s steadfast promises.
The Hope We Need
“The earthly powers, and even the heavens and earth themselves, are all no match for God’s Will to proclaim a new beginning for creation in Christ.” The Rev’d Canon Rob Park offers prayers and a short reflection based on the Easter story (Matthew 28:1-10).
God’s Life Giving Love
Canon Rob’s Easter letter invites us to draw from the living water of life that God has provided for all in Jesus Christ.
