Today on Pentecost, we are privileged to have Bishop Frank Lyons preach on the theological question “Where’s the beef?”
The Great Vigil of Easter is four services in one: the Service of Light, the Service of the Word, Holy Baptism, and Holy Communion. This year, Fr. Michael Novotny preached a brief homily by the early church father, John Chrysostom. This sermon has been preached throughout the world for nearly sixteen hundred years at the Great Vigil of Easter. He is Risen!
What did Jesus accomplish in the incarnation? As we gather at the foot of the cross to remember the death of our Lord on this Good Friday, we are challenged to ask this question. In this Good Friday message Fr. Jonathan Hicks helps us to understand the final 7 words of Christ on the cross. In this single event, Jesus conquers our three greatest enemies: sin, abandonment, and death.
What does the Passover have to do with the Christian gospel? On Maundy Thursday we join Jesus and his disciples in the upper room for their final Passover meal together before our Lord’s Passion. This message from Fr. Daniel Logan reminds us of the various ways God prepared the world for the coming of His Messiah.
How much do you love your life? As we approach Holy Week Jesus tells us that those who love their lives will lose them, while those who hate their lives will gain them. This week’s message from Beeson Divinity School founder Dr. Timothy George helps us understand how vital this concept is to our grasp of the gospel.
To whom is your life lived? To the gods of this present age or the God who has made you alive in Christ Jesus? 2 Chronicles 36:14-23 speaks of the unfaithfulness of God’s officers and priests which led to the Babylonian captivity. In this week’s message, Fr. Michael Novotny engages this difficult text and how relevant it is in the church today.
Does zeal for God’s house consume you as it did Jesus? As Jesus clears the temple of merchants and money-changers, his disciples remember Psalm 69:9. In this week’s message, Fr. Michael Novotny helps us understand the significance of this episode in Jesus’ ministry and how it applies to how we understand the importance of God’s presence, the Temple, and the Church in our lives today.
