    Responding To Disappointments: A Star And A Stable (Epiphany)

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Jan 20, 2020
     | 3,195 views

    Difficulties are part of life, how we respond is what makes the difference. Joseph and Mary faced the difficulty of being refugees in the land of Egypt in order to save the child Jesus from Herod. The "ah ha" moment is when we realize God is with us no matter where we find ourselves.

    Stars and a Stable: Responding to Disappointments One of my closest friends loves UGA! He’s a graduate and a dedicated football loyalist. Now let’s not question his Christianity just yet. He has a saying, "When I die, make sure you chant the Eucharist at my funeral mass. And make sure the ...read more

    Do You Want The Church To Grow?

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Jan 20, 2020
     | 2,510 views

    This is a sermon on evangelism that is tied to Jesus's call to the apostle Andrew. Andrew 1) grows in discipleship and 2) grows the church. The sermon tells people that they can be excited and happy about their faith, and share it with other people.

    Do you want the church to grow? Andrew wasn’t the popular kid in class. His name is only mentioned in twelve verses in the Bible, and eight of those describe him as "Peter's little brother." Even though he was one of the first two or three followers of Jesus, Peter was still the ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,739 views

    The Parable of the Good Samaritan offers the unique opportunity to see compassion at work outside of Israel. Compassion can change our lives, our churches, and our world.

    The Law of Love: How Compassion Can Change Your Life By The Rev. Rian Adams Have you ever wondered how to spot a hypocrite? It’s possible to spot them in their natural habitat… hiding behind religious rules instead of living the law of love. That happened in today's Gospel lesson. It ...read more

    Mary and Martha are different - sermon speaks to open hearts toward both expressions.

    Hearts Wide Open: Differences Are Okay Intro: Australian author Nikki Rowe said, “The greatest asset you could own is an open heart.” Open hearts compel doctors to give free medical care in the inner city.

    What Will You Do If You Win The Lottery?

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Aug 5, 2019
     | 3,358 views

    This sermon plays on Jesus's story of "bigger barns" as winning the lottery

    What Will You Do if You Win the Lottery? The lesson this morning is about greed, which is not the easiest subject to preach. Especially when we’re going to ask for your money when the offering plate comes around in a few mins. I noticed something about greed, it is almost like a fog. Fog is ...read more

    Compassion Changes Conditions

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Aug 26, 2019
     | 5,976 views

    A sermon on how compassion changed the woman with the crooked spine, and how the synagogue ruler's religiosity resisted kindness. Compassion should always win.

    Compassion Changes Conditions I cried when I read the hunchback of Notre Dame. Victor Hugo’s novel is one that stays with you your whole life because we see pieces of each character in ourselves. In the beginning, we meet Quasimodo, the hunchback of Notre Dame. It is the Festival of Fools in ...read more

    The Blessings Of Hardships

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Aug 26, 2019
     | 6,055 views

    Jesus said he came to, "send fire on the earth." This sermon takes a unique approach on this idea and uses the fire metaphor as a purging of the things inside us that hinder us from becoming who we can be through God.

    The Blessing of Hardships Since this Gospel reading is intense, I thought I’d begin by admitting something kind of funny about it. When I read it this week, I pictured Jesus at a Charlie Daniels concert singing, “Fire on the mountain run boys run.” It also made me wonder, “… how am I supposed ...read more

    Everyone's Invited To The Reception

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Sep 2, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,803 views

    The sermon​ looks at Luke's Parable of the weddings guests who compete for the best seat​ at the table. Jesus makes it clear that everyone should be invited (poor, lame etc.), not just the rich and powerful. Such is the kingdom.

    Everyone’s Invited To The Reception Intro If you've lived through a wedding you know, they are of all things most stressful. What few people realize is how stressful weddings are for the clergy. Although we will never say it with parishioners around, when clergy get together, we inevitably ...read more

    God's not finished working on us at the potter's wheel. Hope is never lost!

    God’s Not Finished With Me Yet! I'm going off-script this morning. I usually preach from the Gospel lesson, but I feel like the Jeremiah reading is timely for us today. Sometimes we need spiritual encouragement. Jeremiah knew that, and he told the story of a potter’s wheel. I hope this sermon ...read more

    A Welcoming Grace

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Sep 16, 2019
     | 3,260 views

    Taken from the parable of the Good Shepherd who leaves the 99 to retrieve the one lost sheep, this sermon focuses on how grace is welcoming... hence, A welcoming grace. The sheep was retrieved​, then welcomed home.

    A Welcoming Grace Five words appear all across America. We print them on books, newsletters, church bulletins, and thousands of search signs. They are the de facto mission statement for an entire denomination. “The Episcopal Church welcomes you.” We insist that welcoming arms await all who ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,291 views

    This is a sermon about Lazarus and the rich man who passed him at his gate. The theme is to clear our spiritual eyes to see the needs around us and act to help the ones in need.

    Clean your glasses: Seeing those in need I heard something kind of funny last week about our eyesight changing. When I visited a family member, there was a cartoon clipping on the refrigerator that read, “I don’t stress about my eyesight failing as I get older. It’s God’s way of protecting me from ...read more

    Faith And Forgiveness.

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Oct 7, 2019
     | 3,603 views

    This sermon is how faith "the size of a mustard seed" actually gives us the ability to offer forgiveness to others.

    "Faith and Forgiveness" Allow me to begin today with some self-disclosure: I do not understand exactly what faith is, or how it works. But I have a couple of ideas from the lesson that might be helpful. More on that in a moment, but first I’ve got to share some humor. Have you ever ...read more

     | 5,084 views

    This is a sermon from all saints day that suggests three lessons we can learn about the saints: 1) We are the saints, so live like it. 2) Learn wisdom from studying the lives of the saints. 3) Embrace and treat one another like saints.

    Lessons From The Saints November 3rd, 2019. Thank you for the way you’ve embraced me and made me feel at home.

    Carrots, Eggs, Or Coffee: Responding To Adversity

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Nov 17, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,568 views

    This sermon focuses on what Jesus told the disciples they should do when the destruction of the temple would occur. It's a practical and applicable look at ways to endure difficulties.

    Carrots, Eggs, and Coffee: Responding to Adversity I’m a sucker for those cheesy “There’s good news/bad news” jokes. I heard one this week that I’m compelled to pass along… An art gallery owner said to a local artist, “I have some good news and some bad news.” The artist asked, “What’s the good ...read more

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Dec 2, 2019
     | 5,241 views

    This sermon focuses on the hope of Advent. Our community suffered the devastation of Hurricane Michael and we spent 2019 reacting to the chaos. This series is an encouragement to turn the corner and find newness in God's hope and mercy.

    Preparing for 2020: Living in Hope 1967. The Doors. The lyrics? “Come on baby, light my fire, Try to… set the night… on fire.” I will begin something today that I’ve never done before, in addition to quoting the Doors in a sermon.
