Sunday Morning Worship, 16th Sunday after Trinity, Oct. 5, 2025
In today’s homily, we look at the miracle of Christ’s raising the widow of Nain’s son from the dead. The narrative paints a picture of two groups meeting at the city gates. The first group bears the bier of the dead son, while the second is following Christ to the city in their wandering around Galilee. This morning we ask the questions, “Which group are you in? Which group should you be in?” Propers Manuscript Sermon Archive
Sermon, 16th after Trinity, 2023
The gospel this morning tells us of the Widow of Nain who had lost both her husband and her son. She was therefore desperately needy and hopeless. Through Christ, her son was restored to her. Not only was he raised from the dead, but her life was also, in a sense, “resurrected”. For us, Jesus Himself, is the resurrected Son. We too find our present and our future life in His resurrected life. Propers Manuscript
