Hebrews

A Fiery Grace

Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost

Hebrews 12:18-29

Preached by The Rev. Karen Isaacs on 25 August, 2019

You have not come to something that can be touched, a blazing fire, and darkness, and gloom, and a tempest, ...But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God. The people of Israel lived with a very tangible faith. Early on, God had revealed himself to Moses in a burning bush. Later, he came to his people on Mount Sinai, and he taught them how best to approach him - through a very calculated system of animal sacrifice and purity. Everything could be measured, everything … [Read more...]

Good Friday Part III: The Finish

Good Friday

Isaiah 52:13-53:12; Psalm 22; Hebrews 10:16-23; John 18:1-19:42

Preached by The Rev. Jonathan Turtle on 14 April, 2017

“When Jesus had received the wine, he said, “It is finished.” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.” (John 19:30) As he hung there on the cross, that torturous Roman instrument of death, the weight of his body bearing down on those nails that pierced his hands and feet, beaten and bloodied, he inhaled and with his final breath said, “It is finished.” I tell you, this small phrase is so vast and so deep that its treasures will never be exhausted. More was said in this one breath than … [Read more...]

A Sermon on the Saints of the Old Testament

Feast Day for the Saints of the Old Testament (B)

Hebrews 11:1-3, 8-12, 23-28, 32-12:2; Psalm 37:28-36; Matthew 22:23-32

Preached by The Rev. Jonathan Turtle on 4 November, 2015

Have you not read what was said to you by God, “I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob”? He is God not of the dead, but of the living. At this time of year, as you well know, the Church celebrates the feast of All Saints and gathers up thanksgiving for the whole company of those who, in various and different ways, bore witness to Christ. Today we extend our thanksgiving and include the saints of the Old Testament in our celebration of faith. The New Testament teaches … [Read more...]

St. Mary and St. Martha

The Anglican Church of St. Mary and St. Martha is a joyful, growing, and diverse community of faith where we together are learning what it means to follow Jesus in the west end of Toronto.

We build on the history and deep roots of four previous Anglican churches in the area: St. John, Weston; The Church of the Good Shepherd, Mt Dennis; St. David Lawrence Av; and The Church of the Advent.

We are truly seeing God doing something new - in our lives, our families, our church and our neighbourhood and we invite you to take part in this too.
