    What is God’s purpose for establishing the church? Are we fulfilling this purpose or running in the wrong direction like Jonah did? As a church may we realize our purpose and fulfill it at all cost.

    We read in Jonah 1:3, “But Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence of the LORD.” (ESV) The word of the Lord we saw in the ...read more

    Illustration: Kids have a hard time waiting for Christmas. Here are some actual letters that were written to Santa: Dear Santa Claus, When you come to my house there will be cookies for you. But if you are real hungry you can use our phone and order a pizza to go. Dear Santa, I want a Puppy. I ...read more

     | 399 views

    Candlemas helps us prepare for death, but it also helps us in life, especially when things go wrong, in fact it can be quite restorative, and even satisfying if we see the hidden gems within.

    This sermon was delivered to Holy Trinity Church in Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 2nd February 2025 (a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries). “Please join me in my prayer.” Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of our hearts, be acceptable in your sight, O ...read more

     | 206 views

    La Candelaria nos ayuda a prepararnos para la muerte, pero también nos ayuda en la vida, especialmente cuando las cosas salen mal. De hecho, puede ser muy restauradora e incluso satisfactoria si vemos las joyas que escondemos en ella.

    Introducción: Hoy es domingo 2 de febrero, día en que celebramos la festividad de la “Presentación de Jesús nuestro Señor”. Nosotros, los episcopales (o anglicanos), estamos más familiarizados con el término Candelaria, donde tradicionalmente se bendecían ...read more

    XMAS - Advent sharpens spiritual sight; like Simeon and Anna, we recognize Jesus through devotion, worship, and Spirit-led attentiveness as God draws near.

    THE EYES HAVE IT There is a quiet kind of beauty in the Advent season that has nothing to do with lights, trees, music, or celebration. It is the beauty of waiting. Of watching. Of learning to see God when He draws near. Advent, at its heart, is a season of holy attentiveness—where the people of ...read more

    The birth of Christ the Lord was so momentous that Mary would treasure up all that occurred throughout the remainder of her days.
