Sermon - Nov. 29

This Sunday on the last day of the church year, we celebrate Christ the King, says Fr. Jordan. Everything we've done - our worship, teaching, our fasting, our feasting - all of it builds to today when we say Jesus Christ is the King of our life.

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.

Sermon - Oct. 20

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.

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.
