I will change your name

2007-10-29T18:53:00.000-05:00

Here are the words to the song that came to Nick's mind during our worship gathering on Sunday night:

I will change your name
You shall no longer be called
Wounded, outcast
Lonely or afraid

I will change your name
Your new name shall be
Confidence, joyfulness
Overcoming one
Faithfulness, friend of God
One who seeks my face.

The lyrics:

Verse
Don’t store up for yourselves
Treasures on earth
Where moth and rust destroy
And thieves break in and steal
But store up for yourselves
Treasures in heav’n
Where moth and rust do not destroy
And thieves do not break in and steal

Chorus
Where your treasure is there will your heart be
Where your treasure is there will your heart be

Here are two pictures for our current theme, which we have entitled "Moths & Rust". We are spending seven weeks journeying through some passages which look at the spirituality of money, God's attitude about it, what stewardship really means.

A Poem by Heidi

We are the birds
Christ is our wings
The Holy Spirit's our voice that sings
The Almighty is He that makes us want to fly higher
To live closer to Him who never does tire

Dreams | Nick Cox

2007-02-23T08:19:00.000-05:00

My heart’s desire before You, open wide I laid.
So You could see my thought and dreams, all the plans I’d made.
To You I ran through prayer and praise - with nothing to hide.
And then as silent tears fell I watched, as those dreams I’d seen - they died.

My heart was Yours to shape and to mould,
And I wished to live my life with You and grow old.
Yet as the radiant warmth of those dreams soon faded
So also did my heart grow weak and hard and jaded.

What's left inside, now, Lord, I do not know?
But if your Spirit still resides there, let Him show
His presence in my life so those around me may find
The warm glow of hope and be encouraged, in kind.

But what of those dreams, will they ever return?
Only when in my life I acknowledge You and turn,
To see Your face and outstretched arms that before me lie
And realise that through Your Love, no dreams will ever die.

Going Home? | Nick Cox

2007-02-23T08:15:00.000-05:00

Another stone, so round and smooth
to lie within my belly, it will not move.
A piece of dirt, so foreign, so plain,
to swallow, once more, like my guilt and shame.
And now dirt and stones in my body they mix,
just a vain attempt, this pain and anguish to fix.

But to come home to you, father, is what my heart cries.
Yet my sin, so great, always before me now lies.
And that you might not accept me, is really why,
I stay here in this place, with these pigs, so certain to die.

Oh my Lord, lift me up out of this mire
That I might see Your love, gaze in your eyes
And feel wanted, cared for and belonging
Not shunned, cast-out, empty and longing.

So, now I will cast aside this repulsive sty
To begin the journey home to you and fly
Away from this hovel that hides your face
And dwell once again in your love and grace.

Called to Ministry | Video

2007-02-05T12:46:00.000-05:00

This video was used to proclaim the truth that we are ALL ministers of the Gospel. Being "called" doesn't necessarily mean dropping what you are doing and going somewhere else. It is our everyday life, every day. Produced by Scott Moore with the help of Mark Letchumanan, featuring several TILTers as well as some of Greg Kay's music!

Reconstructing the Call: Set-up

2007-01-21T12:35:00.000-05:00

This was part of the physical set-up at TILT. The painting was used as the projection screen, here just added as a background image. The set-up is part of the "Reconstructing the Call" series - seeking to break down our poor assumptions about what it means to be "called". This video harkens us back to the baptism of Jesus and our own baptisms as well (if we've been baptized).
Here's the background painting by Monica:

Reconstructing the Call: Week One

2007-01-20T14:49:00.000-05:00

	We are very excited to have commissioned Simon Wukasch, a good friend to many of us at TILT, to design a image reflecting our current series entitled "Reconstructing the Call". Since we are 'reconstructing' the call, the image will be constructed throughout the seven week series beginning on January 14th.

Bless the Nations Video

2007-01-05T00:50:00.000-05:00

This is just one straight shot taken from Yonge and Eglinton. This is really a 40 minute take that was played during the background of a sermon on what it means to be called and how being God's 'chosen people' is really about being chosen for others. It was during a series on God's covenant with Abraham. The music is Taylor Sorenson's "The World Keeps Spinning".

Jesus: Both God and Man Video

2007-01-05T00:45:00.000-05:00

This a video made last year during a series on the Incarnation, which is when God became "flesh" or human, in the person of Jesus Christ. It was made from various shots of films made about Jesus, with music by Delirious (There is a Light) and David Crowder (Deliver Me).

We love having various people from within the community express their faith in God through painting, photography, and any other art forms. Here are a few paintings from a series we did on 1 John.

TILT's Incarnation Art Piece

2007-01-02T22:26:00.000-05:00

From January to Easter of 2006, we journeyed together exploring the Incarnation, which is God becoming human or 'flesh' in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. Through the series, the whole community of TILT contributed to this piece in an attempt to put "flesh" on who Jesus is.

2006-12-28T15:16:00.000-05:00

At TILT, we recognize the power of image. Images have the power to speak louder than words. Words are only able to speak to our heads, although in music, they can additionally speak to our hearts. Images however can speak to many different levels of our humanity, particularly when we can not only see them and hear them but when we can touch them, smell them or taste them. Also, because images can be more or less definitive than words it allows each person to worship God or experience Him in a different way, depending on how they relate to the image. As a part of this we also value that the act of the creating an image by an artist is a beautiful expression of worship that blesses not only God but a whole community when shared. And it is here that we proudly display the art that happens within TILT and among its community.
