Southside Community Church - Milton

Sunday, April 9, 2023 Speaker - Andrew Wood The message from Easter Sunday, 2023 following 3 baptisms.

Sunday, April 2, 2023 Speaker: Ian Cambell Colossians 1.15-20 What delights us? Over the history of the church we find the stories of saints who were overtaken by the joy of their faith. Joy seems to be elusive in our times. In the practice of sabbath can we rediscover what has been missing for us?

Sunday, March 26, 2023 Speaker: Ian Cambell Genesis 3:16-18; Exodus 20:8-10 Is work part of the curse or a blessing? We'll look at the symbiotic relationship between work and rest and ask if work is good.

Sunday March 19, 2023 Speaker: Andrew Wood This Sunday we’ll build on the concept of the Sabbath being for you by looking at the clear commandment in both Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 6. We’ll unpack how commands from God are always for our benefit, and how life in the kingdom is experienced in it’s greatest measure when we are obedient to the command, and live in the love that is the basis for the command.

Sunday, March 12, 2023 Speaker: Ian Campbell Speed of Love... Sabbath (1) Genesis 2:1-4 In our "Speed of Love" teaching season we are beginning a pause in which we'll learn about and be apprenticed into the habit of "Sabbath." Far from the onerous burden of some of our religious pasts we'll discover this rhythm as one of the Creator's most wonderful gifts.

Sunday, February 26, 2023 Speaker: Andrew Wood We continue the conversation about slowing down to the speed of love. Pastor Andrew reminds us of some of the principals and gives us some practical ways we can be slowing down.

Sunday, February 12, 2023 Speaker: Andrew Wood Ephesians 4:1-16 Talking more about the speed of community connected to our conversation about the speed of Love. Last Sunday we talked about the speed of family and looked at Jesus teaching on “who is my family” We’ll continue that this week

Sunday, January 29 2023 Speaker: Ian Trigg A Day in the Life of Jesus Mark 1:29-42 Our District Superintendent Ian Trigg has been a pastor for many years in Western Canada (Vernon B.C. and Calgary Alberta.) He has served our District as Superintendent for the past two years. Ian has a warm and engaging style and we're sure to be blessed. He is just returning from a speaking visit to Indonesia, and probably tired but enthused to join us at Southside.

Sunday, February 5 Speaker: Andrew Wood We continue our series on The Speed of Love, focusing in on the importance of community.

Sunday, January 22, 2023 Speaker: Andrew Wood This week we're going to explore Jesus' teaching about the Good Samaritan in Luke 10 and focus in on the speed of life require to truly help the hurting neighbour.

Sunday, January 15, 2023 Speaker: Ian Campbell John 15 The Apostle John is probably my favourite writer in Scripture. This passage is at the heart of his devotional content and discloses the secret of his Chrisian discipleship. The disciplines we want to explore over the next season of Southside's growth are steps we can take to dive deep into how we "abide in Christ."

Sunday, January 8, 2022 Speaker: Andrew Wood Loving relationship takes time, and hurry simply doesn't have it. If we want to grow in our loving relationship with God and with others, we need the kind of time and attention that our current cultural moment is competing over every second for. The church in Milton is called to move at the speed of love while our community around us moves at the speed of success, achievement, consumerism, pleasure and activity. In order to do move at the speed of love, we will need reordered lives with counter-cultural rhythms and practices that center Jesus and deprioritize everything else. That's what it means to practice the ways of Jesus. That is how we build the Kingdom of God in Milton as it is in Heaven. Join us as we begin a new season of practicing the ways of Jesus.

Sunday, December 18, 2022 Speaker: Andrew Wood During Advent we celebrate the first coming of King Jesus, but the Christian hope is the future coming of King Jesus. This Sunday we’ll explore how we live into the anticipation of Jesus’s arrival as the King who came and the King who is still to come.

Sunday, December 11, 2022 Speaker: Ian Campbell Revelation 1.8 Jesus' existence did not begin at conception in Mary's womb although we often seem to assume that in our understanding of the Bible's teaching about God. Our teaching on Sunday will be on the subject of His pre-existence and what the transition to humanness entailed. Our minds are indeed finite and a spoiler alert should be noted here: we can't understand that God always was in God's Trinity and we must accept by faith having enough reason to trust in God's self disclosure.

Sunday, December 4, 2022 Speaker: Ian Campbell Rev 1.8; 21.6 I am the Alpha and Omega - says God. When I first came across this I was confused as to why it was, what I presumed to be, the a and o of the alphabet! Then came wonderful studies in Greek when I realized that they were the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. Now that we're clear, what does this mean?

Sunday, November 27, 2022 Speaker: Andrew Wood Blessed are the Peacemakers

Sunday, November 20, 2022 Speaker: Ian Campbell Matthew 5.10 Blessed are those who have been persecuted.. This Sunday is the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. We are joining in heart and spirit with sisters and brothers who are facing unimaginable levels of hardship because of their faith. As we are attentive to the universal nature of the church we must pray into our unity and spiritual solidarity.

Sunday, November 13, 2022 Speaker: Ian Campbell Matthew 5.7 Blessed are the Merciful - for they will receive Mercy.. So many of the Beatitudes are reciprocal - they adhere to Jesus' teaching that we should do to others as we hope they will do to us. What a priceless aspect of Christian wisdom! What a practical lesson!

Sunday, October 23, 2022 Speaker: Andrew Wood Matthew 5:5 - "Blessed are the meek"

Sunday, October 16, 2022 Speaker: Ian Campbell Matthew 5 A rather shocking indictment of evangelicalism is that we simply accessorize our lives with our faith rather than become actual disciples of Jesus. This Sunday we’ll ask if we have understood how terribly radical the message of Jesus is. He concludes his teaching with an invitation to follow Him.
