A sermon from Father Michael Novotny. Hebrews 9:24–28 . Live like you’ve been forgiven.
Do you trust the Lord? This is difficult for every Christian. The Fall of mankind was the result of Adam’s failure to trust God. In his baptism and temptation in the desert, Jesus did what Adam could not: withstand the deception of Satan. As we begin our Lenten journey, listen to this important message by Fr. Michael Novonty.
Will you observe a holy Lent or not? This is a compelling question that we must all ask on Ash Wednesday. As we begin our season of preparation for the celebration of the Resurrection, Fr. Michael challenges us with this question, admonishing us to fast, pray, and give alms over the course of the next 40 days.
Who exactly was Jesus? Where can we go to answer this question? This week marks the final Sunday in the season of Epiphany and focuses on the Transfiguration of Jesus. Fr. David Tew explains the significance of this event as the testimony of all the Old Testament prophets as well as the Father in heaven. Jesus is the Son of the Father, to whom we are to listen.
The Fifth Sunday of Epiphany marks World Missions Sunday for the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA). It is appropriate to emphasize the Church’s perennial mission during this season as we are Christ’s witnesses throughout the world. In this week’s message Fr. Michael Novotny gives us a biblical theology of missions and helps us understand that the gospel of Jesus Christ is for all nations.
God told Moses that he would raise up a prophet like him from among the Israelites (Deut. 18:15-22). This prophet would speak God’s word in a way Moses did not. This week’s message from Fr. Jonathan Hicks demonstrates how Jesus fulfilled this prophecy and how we can hear the voice of God in the midst of so many other alluring voices today.
What is discipleship? When Jesus called the apostles to make disciples, what was he calling them to do? We often mistakenly think that discipleship is simply learning more information about Jesus. This week’s message from Fr. Michael Novotny challenges us to think about discipleship, not as information, but as imitation. Who are you following today?
Love without truth is no better than truth without love. To err on either side is to dehumanize our neighbor. This week’s message by Fr. Michael Novotny speaks to our current moment as a church in the midst of political and social turmoil. We are challenged to remember that Jesus Christ is Lord, no matter how much to the contrary the world would have us believe.
