Fr. Lenny’s Sermon – 1st Sunday in Lent 2016
It’s a rare alignment between the First Sunday in Lent and Valentine’s Day. But the love of God and his precious promises abide all year long. Today’s readings can be found here. May you be upheld by God’s promises in any wilderness of life.
Fr. Lenny’s Sermon – Ash Wednesday 2016
St Francis is doing a Lenten Supper and Small Group study on the 5 Marks of Mission adapting the Hitting the Mark study from the Diocese of Bermuda (see the links on the bottom of the resources page) along with some video supplements. These marks of mission, as endorsed by the global Anglican Communion, seek to define and summarize what the Church’s purpose is. So to introduce the study, I preached on these Marks of Mission on Ash Wednesday, so we might ask God’s forgiveness in those ways we have “missed the mark” in terms of trusting and sharing the Gospel, teaching and supporting each other in spiritual growth, serving the needy, promoting biblical justice, and caring for creation. May we all grow in holiness this Lent, not just in obedience and purity, but in vocation, as well.
Fr. Lenny’s Sermon – 5th Sunday after Epiphany 2016
Since at St Francis we typically observe the Transfiguration feast day in August, I opted for the 5th Sunday after Epiphany readings (for those of you who are more lectionarily-oriented); you can read them here. As we finish our journey through the psalms over Epiphany, I hope you find out for yourself that God’s salvation in Christ Jesus shows up right on time.
Morning Prayer & Sermon – 3rd Sunday after Epiphany 2016
With 3 feet of the snow on the ground, Holy Communion was not an option this morning. So here is a short service of Morning Prayer with Sermon and a little bit of music. Many thanks to my wife, Kelly, for her assistance with the readings. I used the Eucharistic readings which can be found here. (Please excuse my flub during the last hymn when I had sudden dry eye and everything went blurry while I was singing.) May you find the prospect of God speaking to you in nature and Scripture so exciting that you are energized on your spiritual journey.
Fr. Lenny’s Sermon – 2nd Sunday in Epiphany
We have a God who loves us faithfully. Here are today’s lectionary readings. Have a listen to find out how much God loves us.
Fr. Lenny’s Sermon – 1st Sunday in Epiphany 2016
Baptism of our Lord, and baptism of Aubrey Pauline McCorkle – what a wonderful bit of warmth and brightness on a chilly, rainy Sunday! Lectionary readings can be found here. May our glorious, omnipotent Lord open your hearts to his saving purposes.
Fr. Lenny Sermon – Epiphany 2016
