COME SHARE THE LOVE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
You Are Invited
I am Bishop Todd Bell and along with the community of Saint Matthias, I wish to welcome you and share the love of our Lord Jesus Christ with all we come in contact with. Spreading the Good News of salvation and anxiously awaiting His coming in glory!
The Community of Saint Matthias is committed to an inclusive approach, void of barriers between God and His people. Christ ministered to those in need, rather than those who were in “good standing” under the “law”. Christ more often than not was found in the company of the “untouchables”, healing the sick, giving sight to the blind and ministering to forbidden people such as the Samaritan woman.
The Church must minister to people through love and kindness; not fear and heavy handedness. We seek to do this through equality, justice and truth. This is done through strengthening with an understanding of God’s Holy Scriptures, renewal within the Holy Eucharist and an openness to the Holy Spirit as He speaks to and through His people.

Jesus came to reveal the Father to all of humanity. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the light”. He was here to direct us to the Father, and as the Father is glorified, so is the Son. Deuteronomy 6:4, “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one”. May we see the revelation of Jesus Christ as He reveals to us the One True God. ![]()

“The Glorified Lord”![]()
![]()
What man experienced in Jesus while on earth was truly divine, yet His divinity was displayed in its fullness upon His Ascension. The rightful place of the Lord is on His throne in Heaven. From there, He rules with love, mercy, and justice. His authority is undeniable and totally encompassing. Our natural response to the Ascension of Christ should be shouts of joy and celebration. Jesus has been enthroned in His rightful place, and the people of God are called to rejoice for His return. May our hearts proclaim, “God mounts His throne to shouts of joy: a blare of trumpets for the Lord”.![]()

“The Great Commission”![]()
![]()
It is important to understand that we have been commissioned by God to accomplish His work on earth. A commission is not a request; it is something given that must be accomplished. If a painter is commissioned for a piece of work, they are not being requested to produce it; money is paid, and parameters are set so that the work can be accomplished. In today’s Gospel reading, we are given “The Great Commission”, to Go and make disciples of the nations. This was not an early church matter; this is a Christian matter. Jesus has returned to Heaven, where He belongs at the right hand of the Father, and He has left the work that He began in our hands. The only question to be asked is, will you accept His commission?![]()
![]()
The eleven disciples went to Galilee,![]()
to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them.![]()
When they saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted.![]()
Then Jesus approached and said to them,![]()
“All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me.![]()
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations,![]()
baptizing them in the name of the Father,![]()
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,![]()
teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.![]()
And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”
