Fr. Lenny’s Sermon – Proper 8 – 2016

Sometimes, you have to go with the trajectory of the lectionary, not the literal lessons.  Galatians 4 was just too meaty to miss.  May we all find spiritual freedom as children of God, as our spirits cry, “Abba! Father!” through faith in Christ.

Continuing through Galatians (extended chapter here) from our readings, we find St Paul laying the groundwork for salvation to the promise given to Abraham.  As you reflect, I invite you to rejoice that all people are invited to become children of Abraham through faith in Christ!

Justification by faith is one of those great Bible doctrines that has inspired generations of Christians to vibrant, confident relationship with God.  As you read today’s lessons (see extended context from Galatians here) and reflect on the truth of our being restored back to God simply because we trust Jesus, may you likewise find faith truly effortless.

Fr. Lenny’s Sermon – Proper 5 – 2016

Paul continues his corrective of the Galatian churches this Sunday by pointing out how the true Gospel transforms lives for the better…starting with his own life.  May we all find the truth of the Good news and our own encounter with Jesus Christ proves equally transformational!
