    First Sunday Of Christmas & Feast Of St John

    Contributed by Ian Bullock on Dec 23, 2020
     | 1,832 views

    How St John can inspire us to share the good news of Christ

    In the name of the Living God, Father, son and Holy Spirit. Amen. Today as we gather for the first Sunday after Christmas, we also take the time to celebrate St. John the apostle and evangelist. But before we talk about John, we should begin by breaking the stigma of what evangelist means, ...read more

    First Sunday Of Lent, Year A- The Tactics Of Temptation

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 21, 2023
     | 1,380 views

    C.S. Lewis made an astute observation in his masterful Screwtape Letters: the devil cannot manufacture real goods or pleasures; he’s stuck with the ones God has made and for which our natures have an inclination.

    I saw this Cartoon of Satan tempting Jesus, saying: “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become a medium rare ribeye steak with truffle butter.” [Jesus is thinking to himself, “He’s getting better at this.”] Note that Jesus did not say, “Man cannot live by coffee alone, but he will ...read more

    Sermons upon the Bible readings of the Book of Common Prayer.

    Psalm 72:1-8, Zechariah 8:1-8, Romans 12:1-5, Luke 2:41-52. A). THE REIGN OF MESSIAH. Psalm 72:1-8. The name of Solomon is associated with this Psalm, and it is quite possible that this sacred song was premiered on the occasion of his coronation. However, Christians recognise Jesus as the ...read more

    Thirty-First Sunday In Ordinary Time, B: Shema

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 16, 2024
     | 517 views

    Prostrating oneself in prayer helps me to mean all the words of this creed, with all its intensity and wide scope.

    This is the most Jewish and Catholic prayer possible, in our Gospel today, from Mark 12:29, which Jews call the Shema, which means “hear” in Hebrew-- we have the first line of the Shema in our Gospel today: “Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God with all ...read more

    The First Sunday Of Advent, Year C: Not Very Christmasy.

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 12, 2024
     | 1,188 views

    The Church tells the Christmas Story backwards: the focus is to prepare for the coming of the Lord: at the end of the world, and when Christ comes for us at the end of our individual worlds, at death.

    Our Gospel from St. Luke today is a little unsettling. Not very Christmasy. Unseasonal thoughts about the end of the world. Yet, the word Advent from the Latin, adventus, means “coming.” The Church tells the Christmas Story backwards: the focus is to prepare for the coming of the Lord: at the end ...read more

    Sermons upon the Bible readings of the Book of Common Prayer.

    Psalm 81:1-4, Ezekiel 37:1-10, 1 John 5:4-12, John 20:19-23. A). A SUMMONS TO RESOUNDING PRAISE. Psalm 81:1-4. PSALM 81:1. There may be a time for quiet contemplative worship, but this is not it. It is a time of loudness, a time of noise. It is a time of fulness of joy. We are not called to be ...read more

    First Sunday Of Advent, Year B: Advent Hope

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 5, 2023
     | 2,207 views

    Optimism is an assessment. Hope is an act.

    A man named John Hakel says his three-year-old daughter looked at a calendar and asked him, "Daddy, how many BE GOOD days until Christmas?" 1 Advent is not a penitential season; it’s a period of devout and expectant delight, yet we intuitively understand that it is not possible ...read more

    First Sunday in advent - prepare

    Be Prepared Mark 13:23-37 Sounds like a strange scripture passage for the first Sunday of advent. A discussion of the second coming. But isn’t the celebration of the first coming really only possible because of the expected return of Jesus Christ? I don’t know about all of you and your ...read more
