Myths We Believe
a sermon from Fr. Nathan

Pierced for Us
Zechariah 12:8–10; 13:1
Luke 9:18–24
a sermon from Dcn Bryan
In this season of Ordinary Time, we are invited into a Spirit-filled life of steady growth, marked presence, practice, and pace—a call to live out our faith in the dailiness of work, family, and witness. As Zechariah and Luke remind us, the Spirit opens our eyes to behold the pierced One, and it is there at the cross that true discipleship begins: in repentance, cleansing, and cruciform love. The Spirit empowers us to take up the cross daily—not as a burdensome ritual, but as a joyful surrender to Christ’s Lordship and a participation in His redemptive suffering. And so, as a community, let us move forward together with intention, journaling our journey, sharing our prayer is, and proclaiming with our children, “I’ve got a river of life flowing out of me.”

The Sending God - Trinity Sunday
a sermon from Fr. Nathan
John 16:5-15
The Triune God is a sending God—Father sending Son, Son sending Spirit—always on the move for the life of the world. In the disciples’ sorrow and our own, Jesus promises the Spirit who convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment and unveils the self-giving life of the Father. Through the cross, resurrection, and ascension, what looked like loss becomes our greatest advantage: forgiveness secured, death defeated, and the very presence of God poured into us. Now that same Spirit propels us into everyday mission—embodying sacrificial love, confronting false sources of life, and drawing our neighbors into Christ’s glory.

Filled to Overflow - Pentecost
a sermon from Fr. Nathan
The disciples waited, expectant and ready, until the Spirit came with wind and fire—disruptive, holy, and alive. Pentecost broke every barrier with God’s presence and purpose. The Spirit still empowers the Church today, giving gifts not for personal fulfillment but for the common good and faithful Gospel witness.

Living in Unity According the Prayer of Jesus
Acts 16:16–34 | Psalm 68:1–20 | Revelation 22:10–21 | John 17:20–26
a sermon from Fr. Koos
God calls us to love Him with all our heart, soul, and mind, and to love our neighbor as ourselves, yet from the fall in Genesis onward, we have failed to live these commandments, breaking unity with God and one another.
Even when evil communities form, like the slave owners in Philippi or the builders at Babel, they ultimately fall apart because evil is self-destructive and cannot sustain true community.
In the Acts reading, we see how Paul and Silas, though beaten and imprisoned, through prayer and worship helped form a new, joyful community centered on love for God and neighbor — a small fulfillment of Jesus’s high priestly prayer that we may all be one.
Only through Christ in us, by His grace, can we live the two great commandments, become truly united, and be given the right to the tree of life and the promise of eternal life.

Called & Equipped
a sermon from Bishop Ben Fischer at the Ordination of Steward Toliver to Diaconate
Like Jeremiah, who felt unqualified and tried to disqualify himself, Steward has at times seen his own limits — but God does not wait for us to be equipped before He calls; He calls, then equips, putting His word into our hearts and mouths. Tonight we acknowledge not that Steward is elevated above others, but that he has been called to model the ministry of submission, selfless service, and self-emptying love, showing both the church and the world what it looks like to surrender to Christ.

Christ Reveals His Presence
a sermon from Fr. Nathan
Acts 14:8–18 | Psalm 67 | Rev 21:1–4, 22–27; 22:1–5 | John 14:21–29
God continually reveals himself to the world and to his people, sometimes through mighty acts like creation, healing, or preaching, yet we often get distracted and mistakenly worship the gifts rather than the Giver. Even good things like nature, emotional worship, or miracles can become idols when we lose sight of the God behind them. In Acts, Paul and Barnabas heal a man by Christ’s power, but the crowd misinterprets it, seeing the apostles as gods — a reminder that humans easily misdirect worship. Christ comes to clarify our confusion, drawing us back to himself, the true source of life, healing, and worship.

Christ goes to the ends of the Earth
a sermon from Fr. Nathan
The early church experienced both acceptance and rejection, with some who considered themselves closest to God missing the Gospel because they were entrenched in traditional ways—a reminder that we too must humbly accept the challenging, scandalous message of grace and mercy. In Acts 13:44–52, Paul and Barnabas were rejected by religious leaders out of jealousy, yet this did not stop them from proclaiming the Good News to the Gentiles, fulfilling God’s promise of salvation to the ends of the earth. The Risen Christ fulfills this redemptive promise, inviting all who believe in him to receive forgiveness and eternal life, an expansive invitation that defies our expectations and prejudices. As we continue Christ’s mission, we must prepare for both rejection and rejoicing—declaring the Gospel in word and proving it in deed, accepting that grace may reach those we least expect, and celebrating with Christ when sinners turn to him and live.

Christ the Encourager
a sermon from Fr. Nathan
Christ is the Encourager who strengthens us through the proclamation of the Gospel, calling us to rely on God’s promises rather than our own strength. Paul’s message in Acts 13 reminds us that true freedom comes from forgiveness in Christ, grounded in God’s faithfulness, even when His ways seem unfathomable. The Gospel reveals that Jesus is Lord, who saves sinners and transforms lives through His death, resurrection, and ongoing work in the world. As Christ’s followers, we are called to share this Good News, becoming agents of His grace and encouragement to all who are willing to receive it.

The Risen Christ at Work
a sermon from Steward Toliver
"Jesus is Lord." This truth is revealed through the dramatic conversion of Saul in Acts 9, where Jesus confronts Saul, declaring Himself as the one Saul is persecuting. Jesus’ lordship is not just a title but an active reality, seen in His authority over Saul's life and His directive to Ananias to participate in His mission. This encounter demonstrates that acknowledging Jesus as Lord means submitting to His authority, aligning with His purposes, and recognizing that He is actively at work in the world, inviting us to follow His lead.

Which authority will you obey?
a sermon from Fr. Nathan
In a world hungry for certainty, people are drawn to strong authority—but the real question is not whether we’ll obey someone, but whom we will trust. In Acts 5, Peter and the apostles choose to obey the risen Christ rather than the Sanhedrin, not in rebellion, but in faithful witness to the One whose authority is confirmed by resurrection. Jesus, crucified and risen, now reigns with life-giving authority that restores rather than crushes, liberates rather than binds—and obedience to him flows from restful trust in his love. As Christ’s Church, we are called to listen humbly, discern together, and boldly proclaim the gospel—not to control others, but to testify to the living voice of the risen Lord.

The hiddenness of Resurrection - Colossians 3:1-4
an Easter sermon from Fr. Nathan
Christ is risen—trampling down death, hell, and Satan—proclaiming a love so strong that not even the grave could contain it. Yet in this world we still feel the hiddenness of resurrection, as we endure trials and darkness that can feel like tombs, but Scripture assures us that our lives are hidden with Christ in God. Because of this, we are not sealed in by despair but sealed by the Holy Spirit for eternal life, and even now, resurrection light breaks in—so we rejoice: Christ is risen indeed!

A New Commandment - Sermon for Maundy Thursday
from Fr. Nathan

Two Parades for Palm Sunday
a sermon from Fr. Nathan
On Palm Sunday, we witness two processions: one of imperial power with Pilate, and one of humble kingship with Jesus.
Jesus enters Jerusalem not with military power but on a farm animal, embodying a kingdom that cultivates love, truth, and peace.
His path leads to suffering and death, not because he failed, but because forgiveness is the only way to overcome sin and death.
We, like the early disciples, often falter in following him, tempted by the seeming strength of worldly power.
Yet Jesus still offers us grace, and so we dare to pray, “Mercifully grant that we may walk in the way of his suffering, and come to share in his resurrection.”

Freedom from Sin & Newness of Life
a sermon from Deacon Bryan Myron
Ezekiel 37:1–14 ⁜ Ps 130 ⁜ Romans 6:15–23 ⁜ John 11:1–44
This Lenten journey is not always filled with joy and ease—it often brings us face to face with our weakness, sin, and mortality. From the ashes of Ash Wednesday to the valley of dry bones and the tomb of Lazarus, we are reminded that without God's intervention, we are spiritually dead. But the good news is this: God speaks, and the dead come to life—His word and Spirit bring true renewal, not our own efforts. Jesus is the resurrection and the life, calling us not only out of the tomb but also into freedom and holiness. As we approach Holy Week, may we trust His voice, respond to His call, and walk in the newness of life.

When you are far from God - Luke 15:11-32
a sermon from Fr. Nathan
You are never so far you cannot turn around (repent). God is never so far that he doesn’t see you, and come running.
Wherever you are and whatever you have done, God’s heart is open to you, and he is running to meet you with joy, and ready to invite you to a celebration that will last forever.

Burning, alive - Exodus 3:1–15
a sermon from Fr. Nathan
By grace, you are called to communion with the living God!
By grace, you are commissioned to point to Christ as he leads his people out of every kind of slavery.
By grace you are burning and yet alive, even in the desert.

A Cruciform Political Imagination - Luke 13:22–35
a sermon from Fr. Nathan
In these troubled political times, we can stand firm as citizens of heaven, imitating Christ and allowing our political imagination to be shaped according to his narrow way: the way of unconditional invitation, forgiveness, and healing work – because the way of the Cross is the only way to live.

An Invitation to Trust - Luke 4:1–13 Sermon
a sermon from Fr. Nathan
Jesus, like Israel and all humanity, was tempted in the wilderness to satisfy his desires, seize power, and prove himself—but unlike us, he remained faithful by trusting God's Word. Where we succumb to sin, Christ triumphed, resisting temptation not through willpower but through unwavering reliance on his Father, ultimately leading to his sacrificial victory on the cross. Because Jesus overcame temptation for us, we too can trust in God’s Word, knowing that his grace is sufficient in our weakness.

Ash Wednesday: Space for Repentance
A sermon from Fr. Nathan

Love & Glory - I Corinthians 12:27–13:13 Sermon
a sermon from Fr. Nathan
The Transfiguration reveals Christ’s glory, not as something separate from his suffering, but as the very love that will lead him to the Cross. Paul, having encountered the radiant Christ, declares that divine love is the deeper glory—greater than all spiritual power, knowledge, or sacrifice—because it is the very nature of God. In his Passion, Jesus embodies this love, refusing retaliation and instead reconciling sinful humanity to God by taking upon himself the purifying fire of divine justice against all that desecrates creation. His Resurrection confirms that sin and death are buried, and in his Ascension, he pours out the Spirit so that we might share in his glory.

Confirmed for Mission
a sermon from Bishop Ben Fischer
On this World Mission Sunday, we remember that missionary work is not just for a few but the calling of every Christian. Just as Jeremiah was set apart, all who belong to Christ are consecrated to be priests and prophets, bringing intercession and proclamation to the world. In confirmation, we affirm this identity, declaring our faith, rejecting evil, and embracing the lifelong mission in and with Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Blessings & Woes - Luke 6:17-26
a sermon from Fr. Nathan
Jesus’ blessings and woes in Luke 6:17–26 reveal a new kind of community forming around Him, where the poor and marginalized are blessed, and the rich are warned to share in neediness and dependency. These words are not just about a distant future but speak to a present reality, where blessings are realized as the church meets the needs of others, and wealth is used to alleviate poverty. This reversal—where the rich become poor and the poor become rich—is only possible in Christ, who emptied Himself, suffered, and overcame death, offering forgiveness and the Spirit to transform us.

Called, Restored, and Sent by Grace
a sermon from Dcn Bryan Myron
God's grace calls us, restores us, and sends us out, as seen in the lives of Gideon, Peter, and Paul, who were chosen despite their weaknesses. Salvation is not earned but given freely by God's grace, transforming us and compelling us to share the good news. Today, will you trust in God's call, embrace his grace, and boldly step into his mission for his glory?

Christ Helps the Tempted - Hebrews 2:14-18
a sermon from Fr. Nathan
Temptation is a universal human experience—whether through moral failure, addiction, discouragement, or despair—but Christ helps us because He fully entered into our struggles, suffering as we do and defeating the power of sin and death.
In the wilderness, Gethsemane, and on the cross, Jesus faced the depths of temptation, yet His victory reveals what it means to be truly human: not enslaved to sin, but walking in perfect union with God.
The Presentation of Christ in the Temple shows that He was offered to God not just as a child, but as the one true human who would offer Himself for the life of the world.
His resurrection proves that fear and isolation do not have the final word—His love does—and through the Holy Spirit, His strength is available to us in our own struggles. So turn to Christ in every temptation, because He will never, ever turn away from you.

The Word Made Flesh - Epiphany 3 Sermon
a sermon from Fr. Koos
Epiphany, meaning "manifestation" or "appearance," celebrates Christ being revealed to the Gentiles and reminds us of our mission to make Him known through evangelism. In Luke's Gospel, Jesus declares himself the fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy, bringing good news to the poor, liberty to the oppressed, and healing to the brokenhearted, embodying the Word of God made flesh. This same Word must also become flesh in us, transforming our lives so we can faithfully manifest Christ to the world. Each of us has a unique role in the body of Christ, and rather than comparing ourselves to others, we are called to fulfill our God-given purpose with humility and authenticity. By living out the season of Epiphany, we participate in Christ’s ongoing work, bringing His healing, hope, and presence into a world in need.

Gifts for the Common Good & the Glory of God - John 2:1–11, I Cor 12:1–11 Sermon
A sermon from Fr. Nathan
God generously gives spiritual gifts to His people, not for individual benefit, but to build up the community. Jesus reveals God’s glory through gifts, like the wine at Cana, which celebrate His presence and love in human relationships.
Christ restores humanity from sin by offering forgiveness through and uniting believers with His Spirit for eternal life.
Paul urges the Corinthians to focus on how their gifts serve others rather than worrying about which gifts they possess.
Spiritual gifts glorify God and strengthen the Church, calling every believer to use them actively for the common good.

Christ's Baptism is Good News For All! Luke 3:15–22 Sermon
Baptism is a vital aspect of the Christian faith, though its meaning is understood differently by many. While some view it as merely a public declaration of faith, the church traditionally teaches that baptism is an outward sign of an inward grace, a divine declaration of who we are in Christ.
In today’s Gospel, John the Baptist, who could only offer a baptism for repentance, recognizes that Jesus alone has the power to baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire, marking him as the Messiah. Jesus' baptism not only affirms his divine identity but also confirms his death and resurrection accomplish forgiveness and transformation for all who receive him through baptism.
For the baptized, this sacrament signifies their union with Christ, making them beloved children of God, dead to sin, and empowered by the Holy Spirit to live in victory. For those not yet baptized, the invitation to join Christ in eternal life has been made! Christ's baptism is Good News for all people!

God's Plan for 2025 - Luke 2:22–40 Sermon
a sermon from Fr. Nathan
As we step into 2025, many of us feel a mix of excitement, uncertainty, and hope for something better, often placing our trust in self-improvement efforts that inevitably fall short. Simeon, however, shows us that true hope is not found within ourselves but in God’s promises, as he waited for the Messiah and recognized in Jesus the fulfillment of God’s plan to redeem all people. This same Jesus, God’s Son, grew to reveal God’s immense love for humanity, forgiving sins, conquering death, and offering eternal hope through His Spirit. While human plans and institutions may fail, God’s unshakable plan—to unite all things in Christ—moves forward and assures us of peace and purpose.

Light of the Incarnation - John 1:1–18 Sermon
a sermon from Bishop Dan Scott
The Incarnation of Christ transforms our understanding of scripture, reality, and ourselves. The written scriptures are no longer mere text but a sign pointing to Christ, uniting the Old and New Testaments as an unfolding witness to God’s redemptive work. The material and spiritual realms, often seen as separate, are shown to be united in Christ, calling us to care for creation as sacred and participate in God’s ongoing work. Finally, the Incarnation affirms the infinite worth of every human life, inviting us to embrace believers' identity as God’s children and to live with love, humility, and purpose, reflecting the image of Christ.

Come Home for the Holidays - Micah 5:2-5a, Luke 1:39–56
A sermon from Fr. Nathan
Home is more than a place—it’s the experience of care, provision, and love, much like the fresh bread my mother used to bake, filling the house with warmth and nurture. Bethlehem, the "House of Bread," is no coincidence as the birthplace of Christ, for it embodies God’s promise to provide, nourish, and bring peace through the humble and small.
Mary’s Magnificat reveals the astonishing reversal of God’s kingdom, lifting the lowly, filling the hungry, and bringing salvation through the child she carries.
In Christ, the Bread of Life, we are called to become a "house of bread" for others, embodying his love by sharing his peace and provision with a hurting world.
This Advent, the invitation is to come home—to Christ and his Church—where the feast of eternal life nourishes and sustains all who come with humble hearts.

Reasons for Joy - Zephaniah 3:14–20 Sermon
A sermon from Rachael Toliver
Advent 3--Gaudete Sunday--is a time to rejoice, even within a penitential season, as Zephaniah 3 reminds us of God’s presence and power to save through Christ’s incarnation.
Jesus has come as "God with us," bringing joy for all people by securing salvation on the cross and beginning the transformation of our lives. Though we face sorrow and struggle, God delights in us with tender love, holding our grief and joy together as He works to restore and renew us.
This restoration begins now, freeing us from sin’s grip, and will be fully realized when Christ returns to gather His people and make all things new. As we worship and partake in communion, we celebrate God’s grace and rejoice in the hope of His ongoing work in us and the world.

The Gift of Repentance - Advent Sermon
Repentance, often seen as harsh or condemning, is in fact a gift—a joyful invitation to turn from emptiness toward the abundance of God’s grace.
Repentance leads us from terror and grief to laughter and renewal, as we realign our lives with God’s life.
Though the world resists and misunderstands this turning, Scripture reveals it as the very path to life, a call to prepare for the coming of our Lord.
In this season of Advent, we remember that the Gospel begins in darkness, but through repentance, we are offered the hope of a glorious morning.

Prepare for Judgment with Hope - Advent Sermon
a sermon from Fr. Nathan
Advent invites us to slow down and prepare for Christ’s coming, not just at Christmas but also His return at the end of the age. Zechariah 14:3-9 paints a vivid picture of divine judgment and ultimate restoration, as the Lord defeats evil, brings living waters, and establishes His reign of peace. This vision finds its fulfillment in Jesus, whose life, death, and resurrection inaugurated the redemption of the world, pointing us toward the hope of His return.
Advent challenges us to self-examination, asking whether we are living as citizens of Christ’s kingdom or caught up in the world’s ways. Yet judgment is not the end—it is the doorway to restoration and joy, so we prepare with hope, trusting in God’s promises.

Christ the King - John 18:33-37 Sermon
A sermon from Fr. Nathan R. Hale
Christ’s kingship reminds us that his kingdom is not of this world—it is built on truth, love, and self-sacrifice, not control or violence. On the Cross, Jesus was enthroned, and his resurrection vindicates his way as the ultimate victory over sin and death. While earthly powers rise and fall, Christ’s cruciform rule gives us hope and a standard by which to discern what reflects his love and truth. Our allegiance is to Christ, whose kingdom transcends all divisions and calls us to unity under his reign.

Faithful Perseverance in Christ - Hebrews 10:31–39 Sermon
True faith is not merely professed but possessed, proven through perseverance amidst trials and suffering.
Believers are sustained by the living God, the intercession of Christ, and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, who enables them to endure with hope.
As Hebrews 12:1-2 reminds us, we run the race with endurance, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith.

A Once-for-all Sacrifice - Hebrew 9:24-28 Sermon
from Fr. Nathan R. Hale
Hebrews tells us that Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross fully and finally accomplishes what the old temple sacrifices could not—true reconciliation with God. Unlike animal sacrifices, which had to be repeated, Christ’s single, perfect act of love deals with sin at the deepest level, freeing us from its hold on our hearts. We cannot earn God’s love, because we are already loved; this was proven in Jesus’ self-giving on our behalf. In Christ’s resurrection and ascension, he intercedes for us continually, applying the benefits of his victory over sin and death. Therefore, we are freed to live without fear or striving, simply receiving his love and extending it to others.

A Multitude of Saints - Revelation 7:9-17 Sermon
a sermon from Fr. Nathan
All Saints’ Day celebrates all the faithful in Christ, not just famous heroes, reminding us that sainthood is for every believer.
In Revelation 7, we see a vision of a multitude from every nation, united before God’s throne—not by their own deeds, but through Jesus’ sacrifice.
At the Last Supper, Jesus said His blood was shed for many, showing that sainthood is rooted in His love, not in our achievements.
This vast gathering of saints challenges us to live humbly, honoring each other as beloved members of Christ’s body, even when we differ. Together, we are called to live as saints, reflecting God’s love and grace in the world.

Maturity in Christ - Hebrews 5:11–6:12 Sermon
a sermon from Fr. Koos
The author of Hebrews urges their readers to progress beyond basic teachings, warning against complacency that risks stalling their faith. While that warning is undeniably stern (and even troubling), the point is to encourage the church to develop discernment, practice righteousness, and allow the Spirit to produce a mature faith.

You are known, loved, and transformed by Christ
Much of our lives is spent hiding who we really are, but God's Word is "living and active," penetrating every part of us and revealing our true selves. We may struggle to discern our own thoughts and intentions, but nothing is hidden from God. Christ, the Living Word, sees our sins, yet offers us forgiveness and eternal life through his death and resurrection. As we encounter Christ in Scripture and the Eucharist, we are called to repent, trust in him, and live honestly before God and others.

Jesus was tempted too - Hebrews 2:9-18 Sermon
In this sermon, we address the reality of temptation—how it’s not just about desiring what is wrong, but about invitations to participate in behaviors or patterns of thought that harm us and others.
Temptation comes from external pressures like advertising and social norms, and internally from our own desires. Jesus, however, shares our humanity and understands these struggles firsthand.
Drawing from Hebrews, we learn that Jesus' experience of temptation was real and involved genuine suffering. He knows our pain and walks with us through our temptations, not from a distance but intimately as one who has also faced them. Through his humanity and divinity, Jesus conquered sin, offering us freedom from fear—fear of death and divine wrath.
Jesus' sacrifice removes the burden of guilt and restores our relationship with God. We are invited to relax into God’s grace, letting go of self-condemnation, and trusting fully in God’s love. In every temptation, Christ is by our side, and our strength comes from him. Even when we stumble, Jesus’ mercy is always present. Through him, we find hope and the courage to face every trial, knowing that God’s love and grace surpass our weaknesses.

Dragons in the Bible - Revelation 12:7–12 Sermon
The Book of Revelation calls us to live in the victory of Christ, resisting the extremes of either obsessively decoding the end times or dismissing it as indecipherable. It reveals Jesus’ triumph over evil and encourages us to avoid despair or conformity, even in the face of political or societal challenges. We are called to follow the way of the Lamb, living in hope, courage, and faithfulness, knowing that Satan’s accusations do not define us. The ultimate battle has already been won through Christ’s death and resurrection, assuring us of life with Him forever.

God gives more Grace - Jas 3:16-4:6 Sermon
The Epistle of James provides practical guidance on living the Christian faith, focusing on the importance of actions as evidence of faith. It contrasts worldly wisdom—driven by envy and self-seeking—with godly wisdom, which is pure, peaceable, gentle, and full of mercy. Envy and selfish ambition lead to confusion and evil, while true wisdom produces righteousness and good fruits. This wisdom is without partiality or hypocrisy, calling believers to self-examine and live out their faith sincerely, embracing a life of mercy, gentleness, and purity in line with God’s will.

The Sin of Partiality & The Law of Liberty - James 2:1-18 Sermon
This sermon on James 2:1-18 explores the "Law of Liberty" and its connection to the sin of partiality. This law, unique to the book of James, represents the full flourishing of humanity through love of neighbor, going beyond simply punishing evil. Though it may feel burdensome due to human selfishness, faith in Christ transforms it into a path to true freedom. Partiality, particularly favoring the wealthy over the poor, directly opposes this law. Christ, who became poor for the sake of all, calls the church to avoid superficial judgments and to extend mercy without distinction. Mercy triumphs over judgment, embodying a way of freedom that reflects God’s grace.

The Purpose Driven Life - James 1:17-27 Sermon
In this sermon from James 1:17-27, we dive deep into the concept of purpose in the biblical text. James challenges the modern notion that purpose is mainly tied to passion and career.
Key points:
- Why the cultural obsession with "finding your purpose" can be misleading
- The biblical perspective on purpose: born of God's will, not our own
- How being precedes doing in our spiritual journey
- Christ as the ultimate example of hearing and doing God's word
- Practical ways to live out your purpose in any circumstance

A theology of the Christian life - Ephesians 4 Sermon
