Fr. Lenny’s Sermon – Second Sunday in Lent – 2017
The lectionary inspires us Lenten penitents with the story of Abraham, the spiritual ancestor of those who learn to relate to God by faith instead of imperfect human obedience or heredity.
Fr. Lenny’s Sermon – First Sunday in Lent – 2017
As we walk the penitential path with Jesus this Lent, our lectionary readings help us compare and contrast Adam and Jesus so we might better appreciate the great salvation our Lord has worked out for all who believe.
Fr. Lenny’s Sermon – Ash Wednesday Homily – 2017
As we begin Lent, our lectionary readings serve as a wake up call to a deeper and more fervent pursuit of our Triune God.
Fr. Lenny’s Sermon – Last Sunday in Epiphany – 2017
On this last Sunday before Lent, the lectionary lessons remind us that Christ, the New Lawgiver, is the center of God’s revelation and plan to save the cosmos. In other words, it’s not about “me;” it’s all about Jesus.

Fr. Lenny’s Sermon – 6th Sunday after Epiphany – 2017
The lectionary’s trek through the OT Law leads us through Deuteronomy where God lays out a choice before us: to choose life, obedience, and loving him. May we all make that choice favorably. (Please excuse the water spill at the beginning of the recording.)
Ecumenical Service of Reconciliation – Presiding Bp. Michael Curry, speaker
This past Friday’s service of reconciliation with the Presiding Bishop was very inspiring! A wonderful blend of liturgical and free church elements, plus a powerful message about reconciliation as a Gospel imperative. Plus it was wonderful to have representatives from multiple Christian traditions participating. The full service is recorded (with a brief pause while personal prayer groups were transpiring). Please forgive any sound quality issues or extraneous noises or comments in the congregation that might distract.
Fr. Lenny’s Sermon – 5th Sunday in Epiphany – 2017
Touching base back at Isaiah again, the lectionary reinforces God’s hope to restore and rebuild his people if they put economic oppression of others, conflicts, and hypocritical spirituality away. That’s right, you can’t love God without loving your neighbor.
Fr. Lenny’s Sermon – 4th Sunday after Epiphany – 2017
My first experience with Micah 6 in our lectionary readings is a praise song from Maranatha! Music while I was in college. I’ve since come see to see it as one of the cornerstone OT passages that spurs us to justice, mercy, and humility.
