In Christ’s exchange with Syrophoenician woman, we learn there is no human barrier (esp. race or gender) that keeps us from spirit-delivering love of God!

Fr. Lenny’s Sermon – Proper 17 – 2018
Today Jesus teaches us that our spiritual cleanliness doesn’t come from what’s outside us but from the heart.
Fr. Lenny’s Sermon – Proper 16 – 2018
Back to school with Jesus: when our Savior’s teaching rubs us the wrong way, how will you respond?

Fr. Lenny’s Sermon- Proper 15 – 2018
How does Jesus say we can have life? In his body and blood.
Fr. Lenny’s Sermon – Proper 14 – 2018
This past Sunday, we concluded our dive into the lives of Samuel and King David. We leave on a somewhat minor note, as we see that even though we are spared the eternal consequences of forgiven sin, the temporal consequences often impact beyond our own lives. But hard as this is to accept, the existence of hardship is often a mercy, as God is giving us time to see his goodness and come to repentance.
Fr. Lenny’s Sermon(s) – Propers 12 & 13 – 2018
The past 2 Sundays we’ve seen King David sin and seen him repent. For whatever reason the lectionary peeps skipped God’s absolution of David (???), so I made sure we got to hear those comfortable words. David’s is cautionary tale in this instance about sin, imperfect leaders, and God’s grace. May we always respond with a penitent heart when our Lord speaks a judgment, trusting in his mercy through the work of Christ by the Spirit.

Fr. Lenny’s Sermon – Proper 11 – 2018
Our OT lesson this past Sunday brings us into the intimacy that King David shared with the Lord. And in that moment of closeness and devotion, God makes a covenant that a ruler of David’s line will reign forever–a promise we see fulfilled in Christ!
Fr. Lenny’s Sermon – Proper 10 – 2018
Continuing in King David’s story, we read about the Ark being brought to Jerusalem as David rejoiced. Would that we all loved God with such devotion and fervor!
Fr. Lenny’s Sermons – Proper 9 & Service of Light (Why Go to Church?)
Two for one this Sunday. Back to David’s being honored by God for restoring honor to the Lord in Jerusalem. (Our lectionary omits verses 6-9, which can be found here. **Please note, the Vanderbilt site is offline, so the Satucket site was used, which pops up as a document download.**)
Then our less formal, periodic evening Service of Light. The topic: Why Go to Church?
