Sermons from St. George's

The strange truth about our status with God is that it is not deserved. It relies completely on his grace, his forgiveness, his healing, and his hospitality. Sermon from The Table on 8/28/22.

The passage about Jeremiah’s call to ministry is one of many narratives in the Bible known as “call stories.” If you read a sampling of them – say the call of Abraham, or Moses, Joshua, Samuel, Jonah, Isaiah, Mary, Paul (and the list goes on), you'll notice that each of these stories is incredibly unique. God tailors his call to each person. We may not get quite as dramatic a call story as those r...

You are set free from your ailment. Sermon from 8/21/22.

Sermon from 8/7/22.

Jesus tells a parable of a rich man whom God calls a fool. The man is a fool because he has missed the meaning of life. He is clueless as to what life is really about, wrongly thinking that life consists in the abundance of possessions. As Christians we believe that our “life is hidden with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:3). Is this true for you? We must all ask the question, “What does my life trul...

Material wealth will only ever pass through fingers, but becoming rich in God can never be taken from you. And it can make you generous like him. Sermon from 7/31/22.

So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; search and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you” (Luke 11:9). Sermon from 7/24/22 at The Table

Jesus frees us from spiritual bondage and lets us live the good life in that freedom. Colossians 2:6-15 Sermon from 7/24/2.

Unless you consume, unless you eat, not only can you never give, but you can’t even really live. Sermon from 7/17/22.

Based on the text from Colossians 1:15-28. The 'thrones, dominions, rulers, and powers' mentioned in Colossians 1:16, may be read as Satan's fallen angels camouflaging as light in the invisible realm to deceive those seeking God's light outside of Christ and the Church.

John 16:12-15 Jesus promises us that the Spirit of truth will teach and guide us in our day to day lives. How does the Spirit teach us? And how can we discern if it is God’s Spirit directing us versus our own desires and imaginations? Sermon from 6/12/22.

The life of the Christian is inescapably, unalterably Trinitarian. We live and breathe in the power and grace and love of the Trinity. Sermon from 6/12/22.

Despite abundant religious alternatives, and despite the dangers of becoming a follower of Jesus, and despite the ignominious death of the leader of the movement, Christianity swept the far reaches of the Roman empire and beyond like fire. Why? Sermon from 6/5/22.
