The Cross, the Power of God

Holy Cross Day (transferred)

Numbers 21.4b-9; Ps 98.1-6; 1 Corinthians 1.18-24; John 3.13-17

Preached by The Rev'd Canon Beth Benson on 16 September, 2018

For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. This morning we are celebrating Holy Cross Day. Transferred from September 14th , Holy Cross Day commemorates the dedication, in 335, of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem – but it is the cross inside the ancient basilica that is the focus of our attention.

A Sermon for the 15th Sunday after Pentecost

The 15th Sunday after Pentecost

Song of Solomon2.8-13; Psalm 15; James 1:17-27; Mark 7:1-8;14-15;21-23

Preached by The Rev'd Canon Beth Benson on 2 September, 2018

This morning we come back to the story Mark is telling about Jesus. It seems like strange place to land in the Gospel: right in the middle of a heated argument Jesus is having with religious leaders, the Pharisees and scribes. Questioning adherence to the purity laws, they ask Jesus “Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders but eat with defiled hands?” But on the other hand it gives us insights into what it means to follow Jesus. Jesus calls the crowd to … [Read more...]

Worthy of the Calling

The 11th Sunday after Pentecost

Ephesians 4.1-16

Preached by The Rev'd Canon Beth Benson on 5 August, 2018

‘‘...lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” If, like me, you sometimes wonder what difference faith ought to make in daily life, then this morning’s passage from Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians is just what we need. Paul is urging us to live a life that is worthy of a calling to which you have already been … [Read more...]

St. Mary and St. Martha

The Anglican Church of St. Mary and St. Martha is a new, 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’s, The Church of the Good Shepherd, St. David’s 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.

Feel free to check us out, drop by for one of our services or just come by and say hello. The door is always open!
