Why Loving Your Neighbour Starts with Listening - Jeremy Duncan
What if loving your neighbour begins with listening—before deciding who they are or what they deserve?In this message, we revisit the Good Samaritan in Luke 10 and explore how Jesus shifts the question from identifying our neighbours to becoming a neighbour. Along the way, we consider the invitation to hear at the heart of the greatest commandment, the familiar stories we’ve stopped listening to, and the compassion that grows when someone else’s story becomes part of ours.An invitation to stay curious longer, open conversations without an agenda, and practise kindness even when the people closest to us get on our nerves. ★ Support this podcast ★

Agnostic plus Jesus - Jeremy Duncan
What if your doubts don’t disqualify you from faith?In Mark 9, a father brings Jesus an honest prayer: “I believe; help my unbelief.” His story invites us to let go of perfection, make room for uncertainty, and take the next step toward the future we hope for.From the mountaintop transfiguration to Jesus’ compassion in the valley, this message explores how hope becomes tangible in ordinary life—and why imperfect faith is enough to begin.You don’t have to believe perfectly to belong. Bring your questions, your hope, and whatever faith you have today.Scripture: Mark 9:2–7, 14–18, 20–24 ★ Support this podcast ★

We are all mystics - Scott Wall
In this return to the familiar conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus, Scott explores how we regularly face experiences we can't explain. He considers how curiosity can be a form of faith when we're swept beyond our intellectual limits, how our hunger to start over is divine, how Jesus uses the metaphor of wind and Spirit, and how we can participate in a tangible mysticism every day.Scripture: John 3:1-21 ★ Support this podcast ★

When You Can’t Control What Happens Next - Jeremy Duncan
What do we do when life unfolds beyond our control?In the closing chapters of Acts, Paul learns to release the communities he helped build—and eventually loses control over his own journey. Yet even amid imprisonment, uncertainty, and shipwreck, he retains something vital: the freedom to choose how he will show up.Jeremy explores the difference between control and agency, the courage required to let go, and how we can meet life’s changing seasons with grace, hope, and trust in God.Scripture: Acts 20–27 ★ Support this podcast ★

The Idea of Home - Yelena Pakhomova
In this sermon from our Soapbox Sundays series, Yelena explores the layered and universal idea of "home".

Exploring Ephesians 2:19–22 and how Paul redefines household, citizenship, and community.Home as a Place of Becoming: Moving away from a static view of home to see community as an active, ongoing work in progress.Where God is at Home: Reflecting on the biblical narrative of home, homelessness, and homecoming.Scripture: Ephesians 2:19–22 ★ Support this podcast ★

What Minds Are For - Scott Wall
In the first message of the Soapbox Sundays series, Scott makes the case for how an intellectual, reflective life is a spiritual life. Looking at the wisdom literature of Proverbs 4, this teaching explores how engaging our minds across generations, embracing curiosity, and asking hard questions helps us love God and serve our neighbours more deeply.Key Takeaways & Outline:Welcome & Fall Outlook: Reflecting on community life and upcoming fall opportunities, including the Marda Loop parish launch.What Minds Are For: Why living a thoughtful and reflective life is integral to spiritual growth.All We Inherit: The importance of engaging with history, tradition, and wisdom passed down through generations.Getting Wisdom: How curiosity, courage, and wrestling with big questions shape a healthy faith.Learning as Love: Fulfilling the command to love God with all our mind and using knowledge to edify others.Scripture References:Proverbs 4:1–9Proverbs 4:23–26 ★ Support this podcast ★

When Being Right Turns Into Revenge - Jeremy Duncan
Psalm 7 is a song for anyone who has ever felt falsely accused, misunderstood, or desperate to be vindicated.But underneath David’s very reasonable words is something more volatile: anger, frustration, and the desire for God to feel exactly what he feels.In this sermon, Jeremy Duncan explores the poetry of Psalm 7—from Taylor Swift and ancient Hebrew wordplay to necks, noses, swords, and bows—and asks what happens when our longing for justice begins to slip into a desire for vengeance.The Psalms remind us that we don’t need to sanitize our emotions before bringing them to God. But they also invite us to let the presence of God reshape those emotions so that we can pursue justice without becoming consumed by violence.Psalm 7 ultimately asks a difficult question:Do we want a God modelled after our anger—or will we allow our anger to be transformed by God’s righteousness?Recorded at Commons Church in Calgary, Alberta.#Psalm7 #Psalms #Bible #Sermon #CommonsChurch #Justice #Faith ★ Support this podcast ★

A Prayer for Disorientation - Yelena Pakhomova
What can ancient prayers teach us about our own experience of chaos, confusion, or distress?In this week’s installment of our Summer Songs series, Yelena walks us through Psalm 86—a powerful "psalm of disorientation." Whether life feels stable or everything is falling apart, the Psalms provide a sacred space for profound honesty with the Divine.In this message, we explore:Asks and Reasons: Why naming our disorientation is a time-tested religious practice.Communal Memory: How we lean on the stories of faith when our own words fall short.Undivided Heart: Moving toward wholeness in the midst of fragmentation.Relinquishment: Tracing the edge of chaos and trusting that we are held.About Commons Church:We are a community dedicated to loving God, loving people, and telling the story.
