A sermon from Father Michael Novotny from Hebrews 4 / Psalm 95. Trading anxiety for gratefulness.
How has your 2020 been? For many, it has been a difficult and dark year. Just as Israel had suffered a long, dark night of God’s silence, we have had to face a world over which we have no control. However, in the Incarnation of the Eternal Word, God has broken his silence to Israel and all humanity. This Christmas Eve message by Dcn. Ben Williams challenges us to rejoice in the good news of great joy, even in such a dark hour as 2020.
Jesus was and is a missionary. He is seeking disciples. This week’s gospel text is Matthew 4:12-22 and tells the story of Jesus calling his first disciples. “Follow me,” He said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” What was Jesus talking about? What does fishing for men have to do with calling disciples? Listen to this week’s message by Fr. Gerry McDermott, titled “Fishing Lessons.”
