Mercy

The End of Hope

The Fifth Sunday of Lent

Ezekiel 37:1-14; Psalm 130; Romans 8:6-11; John 11:1-45

Preached by The Rev. Jonathan Turtle on 3 April, 2017

“Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord. Lord, hear my voice!” Psalm 130:1 I’ve titled this sermon The End of Hope. On the one hand we might think of a sense of hopelessness. The end of hope as in, my hope has run out. But the word “end” has another meaning, as in “goal.” What is the end or the goal of Christian hope?

A Sermon on Divine Mercy, Sinning Boldly, and Loving Much

The Fourth Sunday after Pentecost (C)

1 Kings 21:1-10, 15-21a; Psalm 5:1-8; Galatians 2:15-21; Luke 7:36-8:3

Preached by The Rev. Jonathan Turtle on 12 June, 2016

“Therefore, I tell you, her sins, which were many, have been forgiven; hence she has shown great love,” (Luke 7:47). In this mornings gospel reading we meet a sinful woman who encounters the mercy of Jesus and is transformed. Friends, let me tell you right from the start that your past does not determine who you are today. What determines who you are today is the mercy of Jesus Christ which makes us new. As we heard, Jesus is invited to the home of a Pharisee for a meal. And as he’s … [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.
