In today's sermon for All Saints' Sunday, Fr.

Sermon - Oct. 27

Everything we have is from a good and loving God, says Fr. Jordan. He has made us the steward of His gifts. We show our praise to God by how well we manage, or steward, what He has given to us. What Jesus is after is the giving of our whole self to Him.

Today Fr. Rogers preaches on the Gospel lesson of James and John asking to sit at Jesus' right hand. Jesus came to serve not to be served, and He came to serve all of us. He warns against seeking lordship and power.

Sermon - Oct. 13

Fr. Jordan preaches on the parable of the rich man today. Because Jesus loves this man, He tells him what he really needs to hear.

Marriage is very important for human flourishing, preaches Fr. Jordan today. It is something that God created in the very beginning. Marriage is built into the design for human beings and is given by God. Watch to learn the 3 purposes for marriage.

Sermon - Sept. 29

In today's reading from James, we are told to submit to God and to resist the devil. We are to acknowledge that God is the ultimate source of truth and guidance. Submitting to Him provides clarity, sureness and confidence. Aligning our will with God's will is what enables us to resist the devil.

Sermon - Sept. 22

St. James is all about moving the faith from a place of theory to a place of action, Fr. Jordan preaches today. A deeper expression of faith is when all of our thoughts and behaviors are motivated and affected by our relationship with Jesus Christ. Meaningful relationships don't come easy. They require work, discipline and serving rather than being served.

Sermon - Sept. 15

In today's Gospel, St. James gives us 2 sets of false distinctions, Fr. Jordan explains. Do we love the rich or the poor? St. James says both, of course. Love all, serve all. Is it faith or is it works, St. James also asks. When it comes to what is important in the Christian life, it's a relationship with the living God, which necessarily involves both faith and works.

Sermon - Sept. 8

Fr. Jordan preaches on today's lesson from St. James, whose book communicates everyday practical wisdom for Christian living. St. James tells us what we already know. But knowing is not the problem, doing is the problem.

Sermon - Sept. 1

God's laws provide a healthy framework in which love can grow, says Fr. Rogers in his sermon today. Bad laws stifle real love. This is what Jesus calls out in today's Gospel lesson. Laws, customs and acts can distract rather than focus ourselves on God.

Sermon - Aug. 25

Fr. Jordan preaches today on St. Paul's vision for Holy Matrimony. St. Paul tells husbands and wives to give thanks always and to submit to one another out of reverence for Jesus Christ. Marriage requires sacrifice, compromises and day in and day out commitment. Christians see these as great blessings where our culture sees these as great burdens.
