June 16 was Heritage Sunday and the retirement celebration for our Accompanist Bob Marshall. We marked the day with lots of music, and Rev. Read offered a reflection on the important role that music, hymns and songs play in worship.

This video includes the sermon and some musical highlights. Additional music from today will be available in another video. The Bible passage for the message was Psalm 150.

This week we conclude our series on Colossians with the call to let Christ transform every area of our lives in Colossians 3:17-4:6. In particular we focus on how this should shape relationships within families and households, and the challenge of how to apply Paul’s teaching in Colossians 3:18-4:1 (and other challenging scriptures) to our lives today.

This week we take an important detour in our series on Colossians. The short Letter to Philemon (just 25 verses) is essential to understanding what Paul has to say about the Christian household and slavery in Colossians 3:18-4:6. So, we’ll spend this message in Philemon and finish up that final part of Colossians on June 9.

A special thank you to St. Paul’s Church, Carluke for allowing us to use their sanctuary for our service this weekend during the Canadian Open.

In light of our Accompanist Bob’s Marshall’s forthcoming retirement at the end of June, we are posting selections from St. Andrew’s music team and choir over the next month.

This week we continue our series on the Paul’s Letter to the Colossians, by looking at Colossians 3:1-17. We explore what Paul means when he says we die and rise with Jesus, and how this is lived out practically in a life of gratitude and goodness.

This week we continue our series on the Paul’s Letter to the Colossians, by looking at Colossians 2:1-23. This is a very dense chapter, but the focus is helping us to recognize that if Jesus is everything Paul says he is in chapter 1, then he is more than enough to meet all of our needs.

This week we continue our new series on the Apostle Paul’s Letter to the Colossians. This week we look at Colossians 1:9-29. We take time to meditate on Pauls’ poetic reflection on who Jesus is as the Son of God and the one who holds all things together (Colossians 1:15-20).

This week we start a new sermon series on the Apostle Paul’s Letter to the Colossians. In this opening message we do a quick overview of Paul, the church at Colossae and the key themes of the letter.
