Sermon, 4th Sunday in Advent, 2025
Again this Sunday, we hear the refrain, “Christ is coming! Are you prepared?” The Old Testament People of God cried out for God’s help, and to their cries, God promised that He would come, bringing righteousness and justice. Of course we, as the New Testament People of God, know that God has come in the person of Jesus Christ. And we also know that the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit, lives in us, encouraging us in our spiritual journies and preparing us for Christ’s second return. He will come again to judge both the quick and the dead. May we long for His return. Propers Manuscript Sermon Archive
Sermon, 3rd Sunday in Advent, 2025
During Advent, we are considering our preparations for Christ’s coming. We think about His First Advent, and then we ask how we are to prepare for His Second. This morning we discuss the role of the Church in our preparation, and particularly, the role of the ministers of the Church. God grant them the grace to effectively preach the True Word of God. God grant grace to the people of God to receive the Word with true affection, hearing and doing what is duly preached. Propers Manuscript Sermon Archive
Sermon, 2nd Sunday of Advent, Dec. 7, 2025, Bible Sunday
Today is Bible Sunday. The Season of Advent is a time in which we are reminded to prepare for the coming of Christ, and, in particular, the Church reminds us this day to effectively use the Word of God, the Bible, as a means of preparation. If we desire to think and act like Christ, the Word Incarnate, then we must shape ourselves according to The Word Written. Propers Manuscript Sermon Archive
Sermon, 1st Sunday of Advent, 2025
The first Sunday of Advent gives us a preview of the second coming of Christ. Christ entry into Jerusalem before Passion week shows us the entry of a king who is setting things to right. The corrupt leaders are shamed, and the people flock to their righteous ruler. Of course, we know that Christ first came as redeemer to lay His life down for His flock, but He will return again to judge the world. Are you ready for His coming? Are you spending the time you have been given in service to the kingdom? This is the most important thing. The night is far spent. The day is at…
Sermon, Sunday Next Before Advent, 2025
“Stir up the wills of thy faithful people.” So we pray in today’s collect. But to what purpose are we to be stirred-up? We see in today’s lessons that we are to turn our focus outward. We are to see the shepherdless people all around us and be stirred to compassion and then go out into the wilderness of our communities and gather in the outcasts. Let us not dwell upon what we lack, but rather let us simply obey our Lord Jesus Christ. All things are His. He will provide bread for His people in the wilderness. Propers Manuscript Sermon Archive

Sermon, 21st Sunday after Trinity, 2025
We can mean many things when we use the word, “believe”. It can mean an intellectual assent, which is merely an acknowledgment or agreement that has no real impact upon us. It can mean that we take action regarding a conviction, that we actually do something. It can also mean that we have experienced a particular thing or event and thus have no doubts about its truth. In this last case, there is a confidence, a peace, which accompanies belief. In our lives, we will certainly face many personal battles on all kinds of levels. The epistle lesson provides for us disciplines and “spiritual armor” for us to use in…
Sunday Morning Worship celebrating the Feast of All Saints, Nov. 2, 2025
During today’s worship, we are reminded of the great cloud of witnesses, those who have finished their lives in persevering in, and contending for, the faith. We are reminded that their being has not ended, but they are gathered round the throne of God worshiping Him with their entire souls, and in doing so, they find joy and everlasting triumph. Finally, we are reminded that in our worship, we ascend into heaven and join with them around the Throne of God and of The Lamb and the Sevenfold Spirit of God. Let this reality be with us every time we gather for worship! Propers Manuscript Sermon Archive
