Sermon - Sept. 6

Fr. Rogers suggests that there is one word in Jesus' Gospel today that we all wish He didn't say. That word is "go." Let love be genuine is the key to hearing Christ's words. False peace is a superficial quiet that exists simply because nobody's willing to speak the truth.

Sermon - Aug. 30

Fr. Jordan explains today that there's a lot of incredible power in the invitation Jesus issues us to take up our cross and follow Him. Follow Jesus, deny yourself, take up your cross - these 3 things are the path to life.

Sermon - Aug. 23

Jesus asks, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" Jesus isn't just one great man among many, He is totally unique, Fr. Jordan tells us. Then Jesus changes the question to, "Who do you say that I am?" That word "you" makes it a very different question.

Sermon - Aug. 16

Fr. Jordan preaches today on the Gospel reading of Jesus' interaction with the Canaanite woman. Jesus marvels at the woman's persistence and her "great faith." What is it about this woman's faith that leads Jesus to call it "great"?

Aug. 9 - St. Laurence Day

Fr. Jordan's Feast of St. Laurence Day sermon on our 75th Anniversary.

Sermon - Aug. 2

Today Fr. Rogers preaches on the Israelites' question, "Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?" Rebellion does not exhaust God's mercy, and so Yes, God feeds us again and again. Sickness and sin are cleansed before being brought to Christ, before we are given something to eat.

Sermon - July 26

Jesus loves teaching by parables, Fr. John tells us. They are little folksy tales that communicate eternal truths. Today's Gospel reading includes 5 short parables that all point us to the reality of heaven.

Sermon - July 19

In the Parable of the wheat and the weeds, Fr. Jordan tells us, the workers are not to pull the weeds but let them grow. God doesn't have any immediate plans to uproot the evil around us. He doesn't want to pull the good with the bad because every human being is a work in progress and God is patient.

Sermon - July 12

Fr. Rogers preaches today on the Gospel reading on the Parable of the Sower, who scatters the seed without care. The grace that God offers is not limited, it is freely offered to everyone. The sower spreads the seed everywhere because we are human and can grow and change. Today's hard path can become tomorrow's fertile soil.

Sermon - July 5

Fr. Jordan gives an Independence Day sermon. The Declaration of Independence states that the people "are endowed by their creator to certain unalienable rights..." Before the Declaration of Independence there was the Holy Bible, which states the truth that every human being is created by God and bears His image. Our human dignity and rights are not given by a government but by our creator.

Sermon - June 28

One of our Lord's favorite teaching techniques, Fr. Jordan tells us, is to say something that at first sounds very shocking. When we hear Jesus tell us not to love our family more than Him, it doesn't sound like the picture of Jesus that we have in our minds. What is He getting at here?

Sermon - June 21

In today's Father's Day sermon, Fr. Jordan says that fatherhood is a calling. The primary task of a father is to reflect some of God's character with his family, to share wisdom and love with his children as God shares wisdom and love with all of us. Christian fatherhood is about forming souls, which requires courage.
