Pastor Jonathan takes us through Mark 7 when Jesus has an interaction with a Phoenician woman seeking deliverance for her child from a demon. At first, it appears that he is being very harsh and dare we say possibly racist? Her child was healed because of her faith, and we learn what Jesus was communicating and that our task is to share hope, peace…

In this episode the Rev. Lynne Ellis joins us as we continue through the gospel of Mark. We look at how knowing the Lord is about expecting the unexpected, and also how Jesus exercised his authority, challenging the expectations of the day. He also leaves us with the challenge to feed on things that draw us closer to God so we can be transformed by…

In this episode, the Rev. Lynne Ellis takes us through Mark 6: 1-6 when Jesus tried to minister in his own home town the atmosphere of doubt was not conducive to miracles. We are challenged to have faith in the absolute authority of God to heal and answer our prayers and what that should look like as followers of Jesus. Connect with Us! www.opengat…

As we continue through the book of Mark, our passage Mark 4:35-5:19 again answers the question: Who is Jesus? The first thing we see is human reactions to human circumstances – Jesus (and the disciples) are tired by the burden of ministry. But rather than finding rest, they encounter a storm (as is so often the case). The disciples panic and rebuke…

Our passage today (Mark 3:20-35) answers the question: Who is Jesus? As people start to question whether the power he was demonstrating came from God or the forces of evil… And it’s not just the jealous Pharisees that were asking these questions, even Jesus’ own family had begun to question his sanity. Jesus teaches that He is not a servant of the …

In this episode we continue through the book of Mark, chapter 2:13-3:19. Our passage opens with the calling of Levi (Matthew) – a tax collector, a despised, unclean, traitor. Jesus then proceeds to (appear to) break one of the 10 Commandments by ignoring the mandate to fast and do no work (he heals a man with a withered hand). He then calls the rem…

In this episode we conclude Chapter 1 of Mark and move to Chapter 2. We see Jesus continue to assert his spiritual authority through his healing ministry. We see that in cases where Jesus heals there is most often an approach, petition & response, healing & instruction. In the case of the healing of the leper, a social and religious outcast approac…

In this episode we are joined by Clarke Scheibe, who takes us through Mark 1:21-39 and how Jesus' authority was undeniable, yet brought conflict. We are challenged with questions regarding our faithfulness and if we are declaring the full authority of Jesus in our lives, even if it means we will also experience conflict.

As we continue in Chapter 1 of Mark, we see Jesus’ next step in his ministry was calling his followers. And we see that the disciples do not choose Jesus, he chooses and calls them -we are called by grace. The disciples leave everything behind (their careers and even their family) to answer this call- we follow by faith. Jesus gives them a new purp…

As we get set to start a series journey through the Gospel according to Mark in its entirety, we simply ask ourselves the question: What is the Gospel? What is the point? Why do I need to hear this again? Why does this matter to the world today? We will again recognize that even though we live in a culture that considers itself though self righteou…

In response to challenges to his leadership, Paul feels compelled to reestablish the church in Corinth’s trust in him. Because his opponents were going about boasting about their spiritual experiences and visions, Paul is also forced to verify his credentials by “boasting” about his own visions and revelations. However, he is able to outdo his oppo…

In this episode we reflect on the ascension of Jesus. Before Jesus ascended into heaven, He prepared his disciples (inspired by the Holy Spirit) for their ministry and mission to present their eye-witness testimony of the gospel message to the world. Jesus was then glorified, ascending back into heaven, and the disciples were left with nothing to d…

In this episode we continue to reflect on how believing in the name of Jesus, loving our brothers and sisters, and living morally upright lives is not possible without the Spirit of God living in us. God is love and He lives in us so our ability to love flows through us from Him. Connect with Us! www.opengatechurch.ca Facebook: @theopengatechurch I…

Over the last couple of years at our Easter services, the message has focussed on how we celebrate that the gospel accounts of the resurrection are not theological lessons about the meaning of the resurrection, they are an account of the details of what happened that day. That the gospels don’t tell us what it means, they just tell us that it happe…

In this episode focusing on the reading from Philippians, we will see how Jesus’s example of divine kingship is one of humility, even to the point of servanthood and death on the cross, but that because of this God has exalted Him above all earthly rulers.

In this episode we will look at how, through the prophet Jeremiah, God promised his people in exile a new covenant - a next step in their relationship with Him. Even though the majority of Israel had failed to keep the covenant of the law and rejected God, this was not enough to cause God to turn away from his everlasting covenantal, relational lov…

In this episode we are looking at 2 Chronicles 36:14-23 which highlights themes of sin, judgment, redemption, and restoration, showcasing God's enduring love and faithfulness to His people even in the face of disobedience. We first see the consequences of sin - the persistence of idolatry (despite persistent divine warnings) leads to the fall of Ju…

We continue our Lent series this week, looking at how the Old Testament prophesies point us towards to Jesus and his death and resurrection. God gave the law through Moses as the foundation of his covenantal relationship with His people Israel. The law is not merely guidelines or suggestions, it is the law. Jesus came, not to abolish the law but to…

In this episode we look at the Transfiguration of Jesus and see how we are also transformed by His power and grace in our lives. It may be hard for us to see ourselves as the "communion of saints", but He has made us all worthy to play our part in the kingdom.

"I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May your word to me be fulfilled." Then the angel left her. - Luke 1:38 (NIV) In this episode we will be looking at Mary's response of submission to the angel's message that she would conceive and give birth to Jesus.

In this episode we look at how the Apostle's Creed makes the point to emphasize that Jesus died a real, bodily death such as all people face because of our sins. We reflect on what Jesus accomplished on the Cross as a sacrifice for sin (showing the depth of the love of God for his fallen creation, satisfying the justice of God on our behalf and bre…

In this episode we look at how suffering enetered the human condition as a result of our sinful rebellion against God, but God understands and has offered us a way out through Jesus. Jesus has experienced our sufferings, understands our sorrows, and is able to sympathize with our weakness. On earth, the Son shared physically, emotionally and spirit…

In this episode we look at how, at the moment of Jesus' immaculate conception, the divine nature of the one eternal Person of the Son was united to our human nature. Therefore, Jesus Christ is fully and truly both divine and human, but without sin. His two natures are united without division, separation, mixture or change. This means that all Jesus…

In this episode Pastor Jonathan focuses on what it actually means when we call Jesus Christ: "Lord". While Christianity may have differing beliefs or traditions across denominations and people, affirming Jesus Christ as Lord is the unifying proclamation that we agree upon. In today's culture, it's subversive for us to confess Jesus as the Lord of o…

We are joined this week by The Very Reverend Paul Donison, who gives us insight as to how we should pray during times of crisis and that cooperating with God, especially in those times, will show us when to act, when to wait and always to trust in Him.

In this episode we continue to look at The Apostle's Creed. We focus on Jesus as an equal, eternal member of the trinity as the Son of God. While there are many things we can agree to disagree on, the divinity of Jesus is something that our faith hinges upon. Being clear on who Jesus is also enables us to answer questions that others may have in re…

In this episode we continue looking at the declarations in The Apostle's Creed and focus on the scriptures Genesis 1:1 - 2:3 and John 1: 1-5. We focus on God the Creator while we explore the perceived conflict between good science and Christianity and how the two are actually good allies.

In this episode we continue exploring the Apostle's Creed. The first line declares our belief in God, the Father Almighty. This is a declaration of reverence and endearment, that we are made in His image and are no longer slaves, but family. We trust God as our heavenly Father who is our protector and provider.
