The Mission of Christ the King Anglican Church: “Calling all people into a transformative relationship with Jesus Christ and His church for the glory of God and the salvation of the world.” This Christ the King Sunday we celebrate our thirteenth birthday! Listen to Fr. Michael Novotny speak of CTK’s renewed mission statement and what it means for the future of our parish.
How is it possible to waste life? In Matthew 25:14-30, Jesus tells the Parable of the Talents in which he describes the wasted life of the man who received a single talent. Rather than investing what God had given him, he buried it in the ground. This week’s message from Fr. Michael Novotny challenges us to apply this difficult parable in our own lives.
When Jesus returns, will he find his children ready for him? Will we be found righteous in his sight? This week’s message comes from Rev. Immanuel Marsh and considers three kinds of people: those who think they are righteous, but aren’t, those who think they are ready, but are not, and those who are both ready and faithful.
The book of Revelation is mysterious, yet it is the only book of the Bible framed with a blessing for all who keep its words (Rev. 22:7). This week’s message is delivered by Dr. Doug Sweeney, Dean of Beeson Divinity School, who invites us to meditate on Revelation 7:9-17. Join us as we consider God’s word together.
What is going on during an Anglican liturgy? Many can attend an Anglican church for years before ever getting answers to their liturgical questions. This is why the Anglican tradition gives us the Instructed Eucharist. Join Fr. Michael for this week’s service, which is broken into two explanatory sessions during Holy Communion. Be sure to follow along in the special order of service, available for download below.
Jesus ends the parable of the wedding feast by stating, “For many are called, but few are chosen” (Matt. 22:14). What does he mean by this? How are we to understand the guest who was not clothed in a wedding garment? This week’s message by Fr. Michael Novotny addresses these questions. Are you dressed for the wedding feast?
