We're a church in Hamilton, Ontario learning to practice the way of Jesus, and we pray for the day it'll be in Hamilton as it is in Heaven. These recordings are from our Sunday "Word and Table" gatherings, and are offered freely to all sinners, saints, and skeptics interested in learning what it might look like to *be* the Church.
Date: Sunday, September 6, 2026Speaker: Mike MileskiScripture:Genesis 1:25-30; 2:15Message: God's Presence in our WorkSeries: Sacred Space (Part 1 of 4)Most of us move hurriedly through our daily lives from place to place. We are distracted, anxious, busy, and it doesn't come easily to pause and notice God's presence. In this series, we're learning to see all of life as "sacred space" as we begin to notice God in our work, our worship, our homes, and the city. As we become more aware of God's presence, we grow to love Him, see Him, and trust Him more!#Gospel #Faith #Grace #Jesus #JesusChrist #PresenceofGod #PracticingthePresenceofGod #Prayer #HolySpirit #SpiritualFormation #TheWay #Work #Vocation #LabourDay

The angel's visit changed everything - and when Mary learned of her place in God's plan, she embraced it, saying "Behold, I am the Lord's servant - let it be to me according to His word." All of us will face similar moments - God will interrupt our plans, and we'll have to choose whether to embrace His will, or resist it. Which it will be depends on whom we trust to lead our lives: God, or ourselves.#Advent #Hope #Joy #Peace #Love #Christ #Gospel #Christmas #Nativity #Mary #Joseph #Herod #Simeon #Angels #Nazareth
Date: Sunday November 23, 2025Scripture: Galatians 5:22-26Speaker: Mike MileskiSeries: Fruitful: Cultivating the Fruit of the SpiritIn this last message, we consider the one fruit in the list that we can't learn by looking at God's example - since He has no evil impulses that need to be restrained.Instead, self-control is what the Spirit produces in us as we learn delayed gratification - saying no to something now, in order to experience something a hundred times better later, in the Kingdom. That's not a con; it's a promise from the Lord Jesus Himself. #HolySpirit #fruit #Jesus #FruitoftheSpirit #HolySpirit #fruit #Jesus #FruitoftheSpirit #love #joy #peace #patience #kindness #goodness #faithfulness #gentleness #self-control #fairness #peace #lust #greed #power

They're not. For those who all God to live His life through them, He will produce in them the super-power that is gentleness.

Date: Sunday November 9, 2025Scripture: Galatians 5:22-26Speaker: Mike MileskiSeries: Fruitful: Cultivating the Fruit of the SpiritMany of us crave affirmation, praise, or to be known as 'the best' at whatever we do. God's metric is different. He praises people not for their performance or success, but their faithfulness with what He has entrusted to them. In other words, faithfulness isn't about us or our great faith in God; faithfulness is a measure of how much God can trust us.#HolySpirit #fruit #Jesus #FruitoftheSpirit #love #joy #peace #patience #kindness #goodness #faithfulness #gentleness #self-control #fairness #trust
Date: Sunday November 2, 2025Scripture: Galatians 5:22-26Speaker: Mike MileskiSeries: Fruitful: Cultivating the Fruit of the SpiritGoodness may well be the hardest of all the fruit to practice, because goodness isn't "fair". God hasn't always given us what we felt we'd earned or deserved, but God has always been good to us. In the same way, He calls us to treat each other according to His goodness - not merit. This message is a challenge to treat one another - and ourselves - with goodness, since it's goodness - not fairness - that's a fruit of the Spirit.#HolySpirit #fruit #Jesus #FruitoftheSpirit #love #joy #peace #patience #kindness #goodness #faithfulness #gentleness #self-control #fairness
Date: Sunday October 26, 2025Scripture: Galatians 5:22-26Speaker: Lane FusilierSeries: Fruitful: Cultivating the Fruit of the SpiritWe struggle to treat each other with kindness because revenge and 'payback' come so much more easily in this culture. How do we become kind? In this message, our friend Lane Fusilier walks us through the Scripture - and his own life - to show that kindness is the fruit of believing that despite what we deserve, God has been kind to us. As He is allowed to live His life through us, God produces in us a supernatural kindness. #HolySpirit #fruit ##HolySpirit #fruit #Jesus #FruitoftheSpirit #love #joy #peace #patience #kindness #goodness #faithfulness #gentleness #self-control #fairness #FruitoftheSpirit #peace #generosity #giving
Patience may seem like a strange thing to include alongside love, joy, and peace, as the fruit of the Spirit, but patience is a super important part of a healthy, holy life. In this message, our friend Sarah Robinson walks through the life of Jesus, showing how He perfectly illustrates patience with Himself, with others, and even with God. #HolySpirit #fruit #Jesus #FruitoftheSpirit #peace
Date: Sunday October 12, 2025Scripture: Galatians 5:22-26Speaker: Mike MileskiSeries: Fruitful: Cultivating the Fruit of the SpiritGod's peace is far more than just the absence of war or violence. Peace is the opposite of worry, fear, and anxiety. In our anxious world, we are desperate for peace, and God offers peace by His Spirit as He is allowed to live His life through us.In this message we get to see several pictures of what it looks like when God's people learn to trust God to run the universe, and so, find peace.#HolySpirit #fruit #Jesus #FruitoftheSpirit #peace
Date: Sunday October 5, 2025Scripture: Galatians 5:22-26Speaker: Mike MileskiSeries: Fruitful: Cultivating the Fruit of the SpiritDo you remember what joy feels like? Many of us think God is indifferent as to whether we enjoy Him or not. As though all He cares about is being obeyed.In this message, we're introduced (or re-introduced) to the God of joy, and invited to find in Jesus an all-satisfying treasure, greater than anything else the world has to offer.#HolySpirit #fruit #FruitoftheSpirit #joy
Date: Sunday September 28, 2025Scripture: Galatians 5:13-26Speaker: Mike MileskiSeries: Fruitful: Cultivating the Fruit of the SpiritThis message is the first in a nine-part study of the fruit of the Spirit. Here, we're introduced to the Spirit and His fruit, and invited to consider the first fruit in the list: love. What happens when we compare the ways the world understands love with the love that is revealed to us in God? We see a love that He'll produce in us when He is allowed to live His life through us!#HolySpirit #fruit #FruitoftheSpirit #love #allyouneedislove #fourloves #CSLewis
Date: Sunday September 21, 2025Scripture: Jeremiah 29:4-14Speaker: Mike MileskiSeries: Be the ChurchA third difference between going to church and BEING the church is about how we think about sharing Jesus with others: What we say about Jesus matters, and HOW we say it REALLY matters. In this message, we learned that the Church is sent - by Jesus, to embody the Good News in our communities, schools, workplaces, and churches - as ambassadors of Christ.#Jesus, #BetheChurch, #Benediction, #HamOnt, #Gospel, #Church, #Orthodoxy, #Orthopathy, #Orthopraxy, #Mission, #Evangelism, #Outreach, #Shalom
Date: Sunday September 14, 2025Scripture: Acts 2:42-47Speaker: Mike MileskiSeries: Be the ChurchAnother difference between those who merely GO to church and those who are BEING the church is how we treat each other in community.

In this messages we learned what kind of community we're made for, and are challenged to find it - and commit.#Jesus, #BetheChurch, #Benediction, #HamOnt, #Gospel, #Church, #Orthodoxy, #Orthopathy, #Orthopraxy, #Community
Date: Sunday September 7, 2025Scripture: Mark 9:1-8Speaker: Mike MileskiSeries: Be the ChurchThe difference between GOING to church and BEING the church can be seen in how we do discipleship differently: It's not about believing a bunch of true things ABOUT Jesus, but becoming like Him. In this message we shared how we as a church understand discipleship, using the three Orthos: Orthodoxy (right belief), Orthopathy (right attitudes), and Orthopraxy (right actions).#Jesus, #BetheChurch, #Benediction, #HamOnt, #Gospel, #Church, #Orthodoxy, #Orthopathy, #Orthopraxy, #Discipleship
