Episodes
The first followers of Jesus received His gift of the Holy Spirit on the first Pentecost. How do we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit today? You may feel an urge to stay restful in safety inside the church. But the Holy Spirit drives us out into the world. The messy, needy world.
As the body of Christ, we must burst out into the streets to bring the good news to those in need. The good news that your value is not based on power. ...
Late in the Easter season, we look forward to the coming of the Holy Spirit. Our mission in the new age when Jesus is not physically here, we/the church becomes the hands and feet of Jesus.
Jesus told his disciples, “Peace I leave with you. My own peace I give to you...”
What does it mean to have and share the peace of Jesus? It is not calm or indifferent peace. It is peace that sustains us in the face of trauma and fear.
Peace is ...
The book of Revelations depicts a new heaven and earth full of the grandeur of God. How can we keep hope as we exist in the meantime? We sustain our hope through Jesus’ commandment to love one another. We live toward the new world by loving one another and keeping an eye out for the good that breaks down barriers of evil and shines through into the present world.
Fun fact: This week’s sermon was inspired by the Gerard Hopkins poem,...
We celebrated Senior Sunday with our graduating seniors. One of our high school seniors, Campbell Harison, preached the sermon. She shared reflections on the book of Romans acknowledging we need the power of grace, the gift we receive through faith in Jesus. Campell is an amazing testament to the community at Saint Paul’s where all are empowered to know and share the love of God as we walk through the world.
Faith into action, gra...
This week we welcomed the Secretary General of the Anglican Communion, Rt Revd Anthony Poggo. Based in London, we were honored to have him visit us from across the pond to share in prayer and encourage our ministries. He talked about strengthening relationships and the power of serving one another, feeding each other’s minds, bodies and souls with God’s bounty, grace and love.
Mother Kimberly leads us during the second Sunday of Easter. We discuss how Jesus is the reason for the season. We cherish the mystery of the Passion. Jesus’ death, resurrection and ascension helps us reconcile humanity with God. God is everywhere and only a prayer away for all of us.
We journey through the resurrection story from John. The God we serve is the God who raised Jesus from the dead. Jesus conquers death, hypocrisy, power, cruelty and pain. The divine's response? Light and never-ending life.
Christ is risen.
On this Good Friday, we look to the gospel according to John.
It is in a way a miracle we keep the custom of narrating the death of our God. But we tell the stories during Holy Week that make us who we are including the story of Jesus’s arrest and execution.
"Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest heaven!" Luke Chapter 19
As we celebrate Palm Sunday, we learn of Jesus healing a servant's severed ear. This highlights Jesus' power as a healer and His refusal to respond to violence with violence, demonstrating the power of peace.
We invite you to join us throughout Holy Week and on Easter Sunday as we join together in the liturgies...
We learn stories from Paul and Mary and their journeys to knowing Christ as their Lord and Savior. If you have ever wondered, “what does it mean to make Jesus the Lord of my life?” we invite you to listen.
Jesus illustrates God's boundless love and forgiveness, contrasting it with the Pharisees' self-righteousness, highlighting the joy of welcoming back repentant sinners. Love and mercy come from who God is and not from what we do.
Together we navigate how to live well and faithfully during the valleys of life. How do we have an honest and faithful response to suffering? How do we face our own suffering and the suffering of others with faithfulness?
Together we explore a fruit of the Spirit, joy. Joy enables us to navigate life in peace. It is a state of mind and a matter of the heart. Without joy, we cannot fully love. Joy gives us the opportunity to move through life with hope.
During the first Sunday in Lent, we learn how Jesus was tested in the wilderness. At the beginning of Jesus’ teachings, Jesus answers the call and the question of who He is as the son of God.
Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent, a season of preparation for new life. We are invited into a period of self-examination and spiritual discipline. The ashes remind us of our mortality, and we are guided through fasting, prayer and alms giving.
The last Sunday after the Epiphany, we read the story of the Transfiguration...the story of Jesus glowing on the mountain coupled with what he did the next day, healing a child who was overcome by an unclean spirit.
This week Bishop Logue visited Saint Paul's and focused on the radical call of Jesus to love without expectation of return and to love our enemies.
Isaiah was a prophet of the Lord whose call was to deliver messages to God's people preparing them for the unfolding of God's will. Sometimes those messages were not pleasant and disrupted the "norm". Likewise, Jesus' sermons, parables and presence were also disruptive to the daily flow of living. Might unsettling and disruptive times render to us good things like purpose and direction?
During the Sermon on the Plain, Jesus shares wisdom in the midst of the difficulties of the people. He comes down to them and heals them. He pronounces blessings on the poor, hungry, and persecuted, while warning the comfortable and complacent.
He is never separate from us. He is always present in the mess of human need and hope.
